Did you decide to have Sarah as the shooter instead of Coral Drouyn's original idea of Scott Philips because it would make better TV or are you saving Scott for a future storyline?
Asked by AnnaWhen any Script Producer comes on board he or she wants to tell their own stories, not adopt the stories of another. But the main reason I did not want to do the Scott Phillips story was that I thought Kane and Kirsty had had their share of high drama for a while. I put them on the back burner a little, and focussed the story on Sarah's growing resentment towards a number of residents of Summer Bay. The story became everyone's story, a town terrorized by a drug-crazed woman, rather than a mainly Kane and Kirsty focussed story. Had Coral gone ahead with her story, I am sure it would have been good. Just different. I also wanted to do a story about the effects of the drug crystal meth and the character of Sarah allowed me to do this.
