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".

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or development:
“Taught from their infancy that beauty is woman’s sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and, roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison. Men have various employments and pursuits which engage their attention, and give a character to the opening mind; but women, confined to one, and having their thoughts constantly directed to the most insignificant part of themselves, seldom extend their views beyond the triumph of the hour.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
“Somehow we have been taught to believe that the experiences of girls and women are not important in the study and understanding of human behavior. If we know men, then we know all of humankind. These prevalent cultural attitudes totally deny the uniqueness of the female experience, limiting the development of girls and women and depriving a needy world of the gifts, talents, and resources our daughters have to offer.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
