At one stage, I had the back half of my house in Sydney set up as a photo studio, and had soap stars coming and going all the time. I was in my late 20s, so it was a very social environment, and I got all the gossip – which I loved. Most actors were terrific fun and some very naughty!"[3] He took over the role of producer on Neighbours from Alan Hardy in 2013.[4][5] On 4 December 2013, it was confirmed that Herbison had been promoted to series producer, succeeding Richard Jasek.[6]
