Bronwyn Davies is a fictional character from the Australian television soap opera Neighbours, played by Rachel Friend.

After Kylie Minogue (Charlene Robinson) decided to depart the show to pursue a singing career, producers wanted to replace her with a similar actress,[1] and were planning to start a nationwide search when they found and cast Friend as Bronwyn.

[2] Friend was eighteen when she joined the cast and she chose to postpone an arts degree course at Melbourne University for the role.

[1][2] Friend said she had decided to take the year off in order to get acting work, so she was "rapt" about securing a job on Neighbours.

[3] Her casting was announced in June 1988, and she told a reporter for The Sun-Herald: "I'm a bit overwhelmed by it all but I think I'm going to like working on Neighbours.

In her fictional backstory, she had to give up her schooling when her mother died and she had to take on several new responsibilities, which made her "pretty domestic".

"[4] In October 1989, Darren Devlyn of TV Week confirmed that Friend had decided to quit the serial.

[5] Her decision came shortly after her partner and co-star Craig McLachlan relocated to Sydney to join the cast of fellow soap opera Home and Away.

[6] Bronwyn was born in Narrabri, New South Wales, to Gordon (Tim Robertson) and Katherine Davies.

Katherine died when Bronwyn was fourteen and her aunt Edith Chubb (Irene Inescort) helped raise her and her sister, Sharon Davies (Jessica Muschamp).

Henry's mother, Madge (Anne Charleston), agrees to let the couple stay with her and husband Harold Bishop.

Bronwyn starts receiving poison pen letters and Henry agrees to help catch the culprit.

[8] During a feature on past Neighbours characters, telecommunications network Orange, described Bronwyn's most memorable moment as: "Accidentally pushing good pal Henry Ramsay (played by Craig McLachlan) down some steps.

Believing the mulleted larrikin was unconscious, Bronwyn rushed to his side and professed her undying love for him – whereupon Henry opened his eyes and admitted he felt the same.
