Casting
After the basis of Beyond the Bay was formed, and a preliminary character list drawn up, attentions were diverted to casting an actor in each individual role.

Casting Linda was difficult, as many actresses were in contention for the role, including Eva Pope (Waterloo Road), Simone Lahbib (Bad Girls), Natalie J Robb (Emmerdale) and Laurie Brett (EastEnders). Ultimately the role went to Caroline Catz, as after witnessing her in ITV drama Doc Martin, it was clear that she would be perfect for the role of Linda, an opiniated 'mumsy' figure.

Unbeknowst at the time of casting, but actor Micael Higgs who plays Michael Price, the husband of Caroline Catz' character Linda Price, is actually the real-life husband of Caroline Catz. They met on the set of ITV drama The Bill.
