was pleased to receive the storyline, as he believed it would finally show the audience why Guy is the way he is. The actor told Inside Soap's Laura-Jayne Tyler, "Hopefully people will have more sympathy for him, rather than see him as a total bastard!" When Guy's mother Valerie is admitted to Darwin, she meets her granddaughter Zosia March (Camilla Arfwedson) for the first time. Zosia always assumed Valerie was dead. Michie explained that Guy deliberately kept his mother away from Zosia, as she subjected him to physical and mental abuse when he was a child.

He thought Guy could make a return in the future, even though things are resolved with "a good ending" in the episode. He said, "I think it's the right time for him to go, but the door has been left open. So maybe he could come back one day and be even worse, or perhaps he'll come
