Casting
While completing her VCE in 1988, Muschamp successfully auditioned for the part of Sharon Davies on Neighbours. Muschamp said she thought the audition would be a good experience and that she did not expect to get the role. During her time with Neighbours, Muschamp said she "had a ball" working with the other members of the cast. In 1990, during a cast exodus, producers decided to send the character to New Zealand. By that time, everyone around Sharon had gone – her boyfriend, her sister and her aunt. Of this, Muschamp said "I think the producers felt her character had come to a natural conclusion, so she went off to stay with relatives." Of the process, which saw characters leave, Muschamp explained "They had the head-shots of all the different characters lined up above the mirrors and as people left, they'd turn them upside down, I remember dreading the day my head got turned". Muschamp left the series in May of that year and she struggled to find work following her departure. She added "Neighbours was a double-edged sword, in many ways it opened a lot of doors but in other ways people thought I couldn't do anything else".

Famous quotes containing the word casting:
“Reason sits firm and holds the reins, and she will not let the feelings burst away and hurry her to wild chasms. The passions may rage furiously, like true heathens, as they are; and the desires may imagine all sorts of vain things: but judgement shall still have the last word in every argument, and the casting vote in every decision.”
—Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)
“All we know
Is that we are a little early, that
Today has that special, lapidary
Todayness that the sunlight reproduces
Faithfully in casting twig-shadows on blithe
Sidewalks. No previous day would have been like this.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“For the gods, though slow to see, see well, whenever a man casting aside worship turns folly.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
