Brodie Hanson (also Poulos) is a fictional character in the Australian soap opera Home and Away portrayed by actress Susie Rugg. She made her first appearance on 20 July 2000 and departed on 7 November 2002, she briefly returned in February 2004.
In late 2002, Jason Herbison from Inside Soap revealed that Rugg had filmed her final scenes as Brodie. Of her exit she stated that "I was sad to leave but I think the time has come to go. The show has enabled me to do a lot of incredible things I wouldn't normally have been able to do."
In 2004, Inside Soap's Andrew Fraser revealed that when Brodie returns she would be involved in a "sizzling love triangle" and a dramatic car crash.
Brodie arrives in Summer Bay fleeing her abusive mother, Jan (Genevieve Sulway). Shelley Sutherland (Paula Forrest) who works at the Sarah McKay drop-in-centre, takes Brodie into her home, where and her husband Rhys (Michael Beckley) become her foster parents. Brodie quickly forms a sisterly bond with Shelley and Rhy's daughter, Dani (Tammin Sursok) and soon falls for Mitch McColl (Cameron Welsh), much to the jealousy of his ex-girlfriend, Hayley Smith (Bec Cartwright). Brodie's brother, JT (Luke Ford) arrives and physically attacks Hayley, leaving her traumatised for a while.
After Brodie's relationship with Mitch runs into some trouble, she befriends fellow student Hamish "Woody" Woodford (Chris Foy), who is an outsider. Following a bad reception during the school's talent night, Woody holds Brodie, Sally Fletcher (Kate Ritchie) and the entire class hostage with a gun. Woody is subdued and arrested an Brodie later reconciles with Mitch. Mitch soon leaves for New Zealand to live with his late mother's relatives. After Mitch's departure, Brodie is knocked off her bike by the newly arrived Alex Poulos (Danny Raco) when she collides with his car and is hospitalized. Brodie recovers after some surgery. Jan reappears in Brodie's life claiming to have changed but that is not the case when she begins flirting with Rhys. Brodie stands up to Jan when she is about to strike her in an argument and she leaves.
