Steve Peacocke and his wife Bridgette Sneddon are leaving popular Australian soap Home and Away.

The couple recently filmed their final scenes on the show, but Peacocke has said that his character Darryl Braxton will still be seen "for just about all of 2015".

Peacocke and his wife have departed Home and Away to focus on work in Hollywood, reports Australia's Daily Telegraph.

"It wasn't something I was looking forward to because I love the show and the people I work with so much," Peacocke said.

"I think the key to any good TV series or any good storytelling is to leave the audience at the right point, and where we got to with Brax, we hit a point where it was the best point for him to exit the show.

"It was just the perfect time, I guess."

Peacocke has starred as Brax in Home and Away for four years, while Sneddon started playing Sophie Taylor last summer.
