ABOUT:
Harley had a hard time with men in her life, beginning with her father, whom
she thought had died in Vietnam. In reality, he had simply not returned to
his family when his Vietnam tour was up.
When Harley appeared in Springfield, she was pregnant with Daisy. When she gave birth, she decided to put her up for adoption. Since then, she
has had two additional children, Zach and
Jude, with two different men.
Harley is a strong and
often head-strong woman, always trying to do what she feels
is right. She works hard to protect her family and friends. When in a
tough situation, she usually turns to her
big brother, Frank, who helped raise her when she was younger.
Harley always sought
adventure and wanted to catch the bad guys. She was even briefly a super hero.
Although wanting to do right, she sometimes compromised her morals when she let
her emotions get in the way but always regretted it.
Harley is fiercely loyal
to her family, The Coopers. The Coopers have a long-standing rivalry with the
Spaulding family, particularly Alan. Alan tried to do a lot of evil things
to the Spaulding family, particularly Harley. He had a hand in splitting
her up from her marriages to his son, Phillip, and then later to his other son,
Gus. Alan and Alex did a lot of illegal things, so she worked hard to put
them in jail (although she frequently failed).
Gus was the love of
Harley's life. Their marriage did not work for many reasons, but they still
loved each other until his tragic death in a motorcycle accident. She left
town after his death to help his son, Rafe, who was on the run from the law.
Although Rafe returned home, Harley stayed in Greece, where she may have met a
new man. She sent for her son Jude to join her there. The rest of
her family was still in Springfield.
