Heartbreak High ran for seven seasons on Channel 10 and ABC from 1994 to 1999, and followed the lives of a group of students at Hartley High, a fictional school in a multicultural suburb of Sydney.
The show was well ahead of its time, and featured issues such as sex, drugs, racism, religion, family, education and homelessness in its storylines.
The drama, which also aired in Britain, launched the careers of Ada Nicodemou and Callan Mulvey, among others.
Still friends: Lara has remained in contact with several of her co-stars, including her on-screen love interest Callan Mulvey (Bogdan Drazic). Pictured with actor and director Danny Raco
Lara has remained in contact with several of her co-stars, including her on-screen love interest and ex-boyfriend Callan Mulvey (Bogdan Drazic), as well as Danny Rocco (Marco Vialli) and Marcel Bracks (Lee Delaine).
‘I had dinner with Danny and Cal and Marcel about two months ago because Cal was in town,’ she told New Idea.
‘So we went to Danny’s and all caught up and checked in on each other’s lives.
‘Danny he lives around the corner from me, so our kids spend time together and his daughter is a day older than my littlest boy so they get along very well. He’s lovely.’
Earlier this month, Netflix announced an eight-episode Heartbreak High reboot, which will air in 2022. It’s unclear if any of the original cast members will be involved.
