‘It’s been a while since I’ve had the privilege of working on a program that’s such a hallmark of Australian television,’ he said.
‘I’m happy to say I picked it back up a lot faster than expected. I really love working on shows like Home and Away. I love my character and I can’t wait for Australia to meet him.’
A life-saving intervention will bring Harley’s character to the soap, and the journey of his patients will be what keeps him there.
‘I’d describe Logan as a bit of a nomad. Capable, compassionate, intelligent and fun,’ Harley said.
