ANN: We had some elements in place at the start - we knew that while Tara*Starr's family grew up, came together and became more stable, Elizabeth's would fall apart.
PAULA: We discussed the backgrounds of our characters and then began faxing letters back and forth in the voices of Tara*Starr and Elizabeth.

ANN: I was concerned about Tara*Starr's insensitivity towards Elizabeth's father, who has after all, suffered a breakdown and lost his job.
While Tara*Starr's family settles down, Elizabeth's falls apart.
