Harrison revealed that it was not until the third time he returned to play Revhead, that he understood why he acts the way he does. Revhead's behaviour was caused by "a big tragic event" that happened to his family two years before his arrival. Harrison said that Revhead's father, Alec (David Baldwyn) used to give him plenty of attention, then his mother died in an accident and his sister, Julie (Naomi Watts) was left "crippled". His father's attention was diverted to caring for Julie.

She opined: "Guy Pearce, fresh from his film career, has turned up as a nasty, but his storyline was even less fascinating than whatever is going on between hard man-on-the-run Revhead and personality girl Karen. Theirs could have been a goer but they seem to have underlined the wrong words on their scripts so I'm afraid I gave up on them." Channel 5 chose the episode where David is killed in a car crash with Adam Cameron and Karen Dean as one of their "favourite ever Home and Away episodes".
