[edit] Casting
Brisley reprised her role of Amanda in October 2007. She said "My character only moved to the city so she can flit in and flit out".[1] In June 2009, it was announced that Brisley would be returning to Home and Away to take part in a secretive storyline.[2] Brisley's real-life pregnancy was written in to the scripts.[2] On her return Brisley said "People still recognise me as Amanda or send me mail, but their response is always positive - even when she was at her worst I think people responded well to her as she spiced things up a bit and she wasn't afraid to stand up for herself.[2]
[edit] Characterisation
Amanda is described as the "ultimate attention-seeker", who manipulates people to get what she wants.[3] Amanda has the ability to use a person's weaknesses to exploit them.[3] She has a desire for attention, which led her to become an actress.[3]
