The show explores realistic issues that bring out the humor in the process. Thomas plays the main character for seasons one to four of the acclaimed show.
Thomas and producer Todd Abbott developed the series as one taking them four years to create it. The duo met up with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) management and held a series of consultation meetings with them. Abbott wanted the series to be pitched as a drama rather than a sitcom as it showcases things that could happen to a young person humorously.
On the other hand, Thomas wanted an original show, never seen on television in the past years. What he badly wanted to showcase was honesty in the script and wrote the comedy with that in mind. He went on to advise the actors to not intentionally react to scripted jokes as it would not bring out authenticity.
