Brodie Hanson is a fictional character in the Australian television soap opera Home and Away, portrayed by actress Susie Rugg.

Writers established a relationship between Brodie and recurring character Miles Alcott (Steven Rooke), which is cut short when he has to leave the Bay.

"[1] On the night of the school dance, Miles and Brodie dress up as Anthony and Cleopatra, and Alex offers to drive them to the event in a bid to make peace with them.

[1] In late 2002, Jason Herbison from Inside Soap revealed that Rugg had filmed her final scenes as Brodie.

"[2] 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.

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).

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.

After Mitch's departure, Brodie is knocked off her bike by the newly arrived Alex Poulos when she collides with his car and is hospitalised.

Sacha Molitorisz of The Sydney Morning Herald said that the episode featuring Brodie and Hayley's car crash was better suited to "die hard fans".
