Harley Bonner initially didn’t want to appear on the show but changed his mind! He is actually the son of Carla Bonner who also starred on the show. On learning acting tips from his mother, Harley said:
‘When Mum was on Neighbours she would run lines with me and I did pick up some tips from her then, so I’m glad I paid attention! But basically she wants me to find my own feet.’
