Her character Harlow Robinson can be seen in the UK in episodes airing this week, but Jemma actually filmed the scenes in October last year. Guest appearances from Amanda Holden, who plays Harlow\u2019s aunt Harriet, as well as a cameo from popstar Sophie Ellis-Bextor, were announced some time ago.<\/p>\n
Harlow decided to take a holiday to her hometown following her brief fling with Ned Willis (Ben Hall), who she now seems to be developing feelings for. The pair slept together when they got lost in the bush during the big River Bend week, but Ned reunited with Amy Greenwood (Jacinta Stapleton) soon after they returned home.<\/p>\n
Now the actress has revealed that when she was filming the London strand of the story, she hadn\u2019t even received the scripts for Harlow and Ned\u2019s unexpected liaison.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard when you haven\u2019t really had any scripts,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cI obviously was briefed on what happens, but because Neighbours\u00a0works at such a quick pace, it can change.<\/p>\n \u201cYou kind of have to go in there and imagine what would have happened with everything you\u2019ve been given in terms of information.<\/p>\n Read more<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s also hard to envision the scenes that happened before \u2013 why she feels so flustered, without properly having filmed it. But that\u2019s the fun and games of this show \u2013 it\u2019s very much like that, so you just have to do what you do.\u201d<\/p>\n Jemma, whose father Jason is a fellow Neighbours alum having played Scott Robinson from 1986 to 1989, has been a mainstay on the soap<\/a> since Harlow arrived on Ramsay Street in 2019.<\/p> Adding that Harlow is in need of a break after a tough year, Donovan said that her alter ego welcomes some time to reflect.<\/p>\n \u201cI think she just needs to step out of Erinsborough for a little bit and see people who aren\u2019t on the Street and figure out what she wants to do,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cWhenever you come home, you get time to think about what\u2019s going on in your life. I think she really needed that and she gets to see her aunt as well, who\u2019s probably the closest thing she has to her mum.\u201d<\/p>\n Neighbours usually airs on Channel 5 weekdays at 1:45pm.
