Character Development
In 1997, it was announced that Randy Spelling had been cast as Sean. Spelling is the son of Sunset Beach creator Aaron Spelling.. Sean was billed as a "screwed up rich kid, recently expelled from private school."
Sean was featured in a high profile storyline in which a earthquake and tsunami occur in Sunset Beach. The storyline was created in a bid to gain ratings. Spelling's character becomes trapped under water with on-screen love interest Emily Davis (Cristi Harris). Spelling and Harris were required to perform stunts sequences for the scenes, though, Spelling said were fun to film. On-screen characters were flung into the sea from a capsised boat. While Spelling was dropped down an eighty degree incline wall into a water tank. Then had to tread water, until he and Harris dove down wearing formal clothes, into the safety of an air shaft. Spelling said that they found the experience "really disorienting".
