Neighbours star Jemma Donovan responds to Harlow Robinson's exit

 Harlow left for London last month.

Neighbours star Jemma Donovan has spoken about her exit from the soap and saying goodbye to character Harlow Robinson.

UK viewers saw Harlow leave Ramsay Street last month after a dramatic storyline involving schemer Corey Smythe-Jones.

Following Corey's arrest, Harlow was able to get the answers from him she had been looking for, thus closing the disturbing chapter of her life.

She then decided to take her aunt up on an offer to come live with her in London for good.

Speaking on the soap's official Twitter account following her exit, Jemma said both her and Harlow had 'grown massively' since she made her Neighbours debut in 2019.

"I think it's easy to grow with your character in an environment like this, just because you kind of do it parallel with each other," Jemma said.

"Me personally, I feel like I've just grown as an actor. The great thing about a soap is you get to be put into so many different storylines that you kind of would never in a series or a movie.

"So I feel like I've grown in confidence because I've been put in so many different scenarios. Harlow, I can just remember when she first rocked up in Erinsborough and I think she's grown up beautifully as well," she continued.

"She knows what she wants and she's not afraid to stand up for what she wants, even more so than she did when she first came on the show."

Jemma went on to thank the soap's fans, ahead of its final-ever episode airing later this month.

"I just want to say thank you to everyone for watching everyday," Jemma said. "This show has been an incredible platform for me and for everyone else and it's been an honour to be a part of it. I'm gonna get emotional. It's been the most amazing experience for not just for me acting-wise but it just as a person.

"And just being able to introduce Harlow to to your screens and for you guys to get to love and support her like I do and I'm going to miss playing her a lot. So thank you."
