Daniel Robinson

[LauBuch]

Neighbours always seem really open to ideas from the cast. Did you push the writers in this direction?

"Yeah, I think so. A while ago I spoke to one of the head writers and asked for Daniel to have a bit more status in the community. It's all very well wanting to set up communes and do everything for positive reasons, but I wanted to man him up a bit. The best way to do that was by giving Daniel some career ambition. That gains him a bit of respect from people, I think."

Man up? Really? A man who is sensitive, cares about the environment, the community and those around him makes him not manly? Really not impressed by that comment!
As for the respect from people, don't know about anyone else, but someone doing a job they don't truly enjoy and are only really doing out of guilt, doesn't impress me.
Bring back the old Daniel!
