Changes to the character biographies

After reading the feedback on my Online  Greenlight review my character biographies weren't coming across in my script so after Tutor Phil's encouragement i've slightly changed the biographies but i've kept the same story structure. 
The Surgeon
A surgeon falls in love with a patient, she comes in every few months to the surgery wanting to enhance something new about her body. Although from the beginning she was always beautiful to the surgeon. When he can see that she’s now confident about herself he asks for her hand in marriage. He knew her as a child and always thought that her quirky appearance was attractive. When he can see that she’s now confident about herself he asks for her hand in marriage. The surgeon only wants to make Stella happy and will do anything to do this.

Stella Gleanburg
Stella Gleanburg has always been teased as a young child referred to as the ugly duckling in her family. After being emotionally scared for many years she decided to undergo a few surgical enhancements to make her feel better about herself. After her many trips to her plastic surgeon she began to fall in love with the man that was able to make her beautiful, and was happy to accept his proposal. Although she now had someone who accepted her for who she was, she was still obsessed with her physical appearance.

The character biographies for Idea 8 and the script: Storytelling and Commission


These character biographies go with idea 8 and the script that i've posted. 




The Surgeon

A man who loves to make people beautiful, he’s got a very soft nature and fines it hard to say no to people. He falls in love with an elderly woman who was once his nursery school teacher Miss Stella Gleanburg . As a young child he would always make sure to behave and bring her an apple. He was definitely a teacher’s pet, and was proud of it too. He had a 9:00 o’clock appointment for a woman to have liposuction, he was surprise to see her walk into his surgery and take a seat on his table. He was still fond of her even though she in her 60’s, and was happy to mould her back into the woman he fell in love with in nursery. 

Stella Gleanburg

Stella Gleanburg is a 65 year old retired nursery school teacher, she was once married but her husband had passed away leaving her a lot of money. She decided that she needed a new start and a new life and the first thing she had to change was her appearance. She booked an appointment to have liposuction she was so happy with the result that she decided that she had to change everything about herself until she looked like she did at 25. She grew obsessive and fell in love with the surgeon that transformed her back into a younger version of herself.
