This family will be the death of me.
– Cheryl West (Robyn Malcolm)

Your Dad went to prison today for four years. He’s going to miss out on the next four years of your lives and we’re treating it like an occupational hazard. Well, not any more. It all stops right here. From now on, we play it straight.
– Cheryl West (Robyn Malcolm)

I was thinking about how women hold a family together on very little money and how I could turn that into something that was enjoyable rather than miserable. I wanted to do something that was entertaining and funny and quite extreme in its content.
– Outrageous Fortune co-creator/writer Rachel Lang in The Dominion Post, 12 July 2005
