cadyctslover Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) I couldn't find a thread about Harvey, so here we are. He's been onscreen for about a year now, and I don't think he really has a purpose on the show.I believe he was brought in as a guest character last year as a villainous rival for Romeo and his bay-touring business on the Blaxland. At some time during his contract they decided to make him a regular character, and so attempted to make him likeable (an about-turn for his character) with the tried-and-tested 'tragic' back-story approach. They introduced his daughter, who was quite pleasant, so she left quite quickly.Now the mission statement for his character reads: "Roo's boyfriend".

cadyctslover Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 ^ Agreed. My theory is that they want to have renowned actor Marcus Graham in the cast, but aren't sure what to do with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julez Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I love Marcus Graham!!! But Harvey is a tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--HAA Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I think that Harvey is actually a good charactor, he's hillarious and a nice charactor. But with all this Roo/Tim/Mel drama it's made me dislike his charactor a fair bit. Maybe without Roo he'd be a much more 'likeable' charactor.

dncllpyk Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I never knew until a few weeks ago that Marcus Graham played Wheels on E Street. I watched the re runs in 2003 when they were on in the afternoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadyctslover Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Digital Spy Article Does anyone see any chemistry between Harvey and Roo? I really don't. I really wish Roo would get back together with Sid, or anyone else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Digital Spy Article Does anyone see any chemistry between Harvey and Roo? I really don't. I really wish Roo would get back together with Sid, or anyone else! I think there is a strange sort of chemistry between the two of them but the constant making up and breaking up has become tedious for me at least.

Perry Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 There is a strange sort of chemistry between Roo and Harvey and I like the constant bickering that's done lightheartedly. I don't think they've done an about-turn of his character they've just turned a guestie into a regular which gets us to understand the character more. One thing I have to say is that I prefered Roo with Sid but I heart Harvey still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dncllpyk Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Like Alf said Harvey is one of the guys who puts up with Roo being a drama queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
