I was just wondering why the character of Max changed so much
towards his exit? For example, ever since the Eloise storyline
ended, and I think Henry & Matilda came on the scene, his scenes
were very few and far between, and was certainly not in major
storylines. Even his farewell wasn't emphasised that much, in the
end we probably hardly noticed that he had gone! He used to be an
interesting character at one stage.
Asked by IgorI never took to the character of Max personally. I know Coral enjoyed writing for him, but he didn't work for me. So when I came on to the show and had to lose some characters to cut down the cast budget, I made Max one of the ones I wrote out. Had I not had to make those economies, I probably would have kept him. I down-played his exit as we had a number of people leaving at that time and I didn't want to fill too much air time with a lot of goodbyes. There were some very touching scenes with Colleen however and I thought Sebastian did an excellent job of playing them. I think he is going to mature in to a very good performer. He has been written out in a way where Max could easily return to the Bay in the future if it is thought desirable for the story. Sorry I deprived you of a favorite character. Hope I've made up for it with what I've done with the others.
