The actress feels that Esther's desk-bound analyst position is "her safe little world". Head writer and executive producer Russell T Davies described Esther as "a very healing force" in helping the other more outspoken characters gel together as a team because she is "much more able to empathise with people." The character's sister, Sarah Drummond (Candace Brown), recurs throughout Miracle Day, Havins feels that her presence helps "humanise the situation" as including family members helps the audience "understand why people react a certain way." Espenson notes that the first scene between Esther and Sarah was discussed at length at the writer's room—the writers chose to make Esther's choice whether or not to refer her ill sister to social services "as difficult as possible" to heighten the pain felt by the character.
