Bonnie Sveen spills what it was REALLY like to work on Home and Away

The behind-the-scenes secrets exposed! - by Erin Doyle

She played beloved Summer Bay resident Ricky Sharpe on Home and Away from 2013 to 2016, making up one half of one of the show’s favourite golden couples alongside Steve Peacocke, who portrayed Daryl “Brax” Braxton.

And now, Bonnie Sveen is revealing what it was really like to be involved in the Channel Seven show as she took to Instagram to candidly answer fans’ questions.

Grilled about her thoughts on playing Ricky and be the on-screen love interest of Steve, Bonnie only had positive things to say.

“I loved the experience. I was mega grateful for the chance to act everyday, get on set experience, make new friends (inc my one-day husband) and play staunch surfer Ricky. Man I loved being in & near the ocean so much… I miss it!” she spilled.

Gushing over her former co-star, she added: “Steve is a great actor, isn’t he!! Really enjoyed working with him & I think we helped bring out the best in each other’s performance.”

However, although Bonnie has happy memories of her time on the series, it seems she’s unlikely to revisit the role any time soon.

“As much as I would like to go back in time or revisit roles (any, probably!) I also believe that was is done, is done,” she explained in another post.

“Let time take you to new places and create new connections. I’m not who I was 4 years ago but she walked me to where I am now.”

“ As much as I would like to go back in time or revisit roles (any, probably!) I also believe that was is done, is done,” she said of reprising her role.

During her stint on the iconic soap, Bonnie met her current partner Nathan Gooley who was working on the show as an assistant director.

The pair now share identical twin girls, Myrtle Mae and Emerald, who they welcomed in October 2018.

Thanks to their romantic connection, Bonnie has a soft spot for a particular scene in Home and Away’s history.

“What about the episode where Ed Sheeran serenaded the Bay and Ricky fell for the doctor MEANWHILE irl Nath had to step in as Ed’s eyeline while they filmed the cast and I was watching Nath pretend to sing 'We found love right where we are' while we were FALLING IN LOVE,” she responded when asked about her favourite scene to film on Home and Away.

While Bonnie was also asked about other aspects of her life, the bulk of the questions surrounded her time on Home and Away and one fan wondered if this bothered her.

“No it doesn’t bother me… it would if I didn’t have a strong sense of self away from Ricky, but I know who I am, and have had the opportunity to work on myself more since coming back to Tas and having a “home” and a fam,” Bonnie replied.

“It does sometimes add to my hunger for something new & different… but I recognise that can be my ego talking.

“Ultimately I was so fortunate to play such a deadly character for such a long length of time. And am looking forward to the next acting job when that materialises.”

Ed Sheeran

The actress revealed one of her favourite times on set was when Nathan had to fill in for Ed Sheeran (pictured) when the UK singer made a cameo.
