Lucas Harrison made his first appearance on the show on 14 December 2000, when he was born onscreen. His mother Angela Weaver (Katherine Hubbard) had cancer but was already pregnant following her diagnosis. To keep her child, she refused treatment, much to the shock of her partner Nick Harrison (Karl Burnett). Angela loved her son dearly but died several months after his birth. A lot of his early upbringing was done by Rachel McKenna (Angela Bloomfield), Rangi Heremaia (Blair Strang) and Donna Heka (Stephanie Tauevihi) due to Nick's struggle to accept his son after Ange's death. Nick soon came to love his son and proved to be a great father. The following year, Lucas and Nick departed to London for several months. In 2004 Lucas welcomed his half sister, Tina-Anne Harrison (Libby Reber) and later luckily survived a devastating fire at his home. The next year the Harrison house was burgled and Nick decided to move the family to Taranaki; they departed in March.

Lucas would reappear with Waverley, Tina-Anne and their two younger siblings, Ranger and Celica in 2022. Livestreaming during a camping trip, the Harrisons would accidentally trigger a massive bushfire, causing a huge emergency in Ferndale.
