Although he lived, Brad lost a legand, after issueing a bomb threat to the hospital, he was finally arrested and jailed. Brad never returned to the Bay, but Chloe was left traumatised by the whole experiance. Off-Screen... When the episodes were broadcast in the UK, there was a publicity outcry over the number of number of scenes that were cut by the censors to make it acceptable for tea-time viewing. Where are they now? Kristy Wright left Home and Away in 1999 and went on to appear in the Aussie drama, Above the Law, playing an aspring actress called Belinda, but the show was axed due to poor ratings. Kristy has also enjoyed a stint as a celebrity journolist for Australian TV guide, TV Week.
