Creation and Casting
It was announced in September 2005 that Home and Away star, Laurie Foell would be arriving to the show as a rival of Chris' in a short term stint. She returned the following year as part of the McKay family unit, with husband Callum McKay and children; Hunter and Sophie, arriving soon after. In late 2006 Foell dropped out of the role and producers considered writing Justine out. As the character still had many storylines, producers decided to recast the character, with Lucy Wigmore assuming the role. Lucy Wigmore quit the role in 2008 to travel overseas. It was announced in July 2009 that Justine would be returning in a guest role to finish off her storyline. The episodes received huge ratings, becoming the shows second highest ever ratings at that period.
