Mader and Fahey were different from the writers' visions of Charlotte and Frank, but the writers changed the characters to suit them. Also, the role of Miles was changed for Leung. The episode was written by co-executive producer Drew Goddard and co-producer Brian K. Vaughan and directed by co-executive producer Stephen Williams.〔''ABC Medianet'', (January 18, 2008) "(Four Strangers Arrive on the Island, Leading the Survivors to Question the Intentions of Their Supposed Rescuers )".
