Page "Frontline (Australian TV series)" Paragraph 18

* Emma Ward ( Alison Whyte ) is the Line Producer on Frontline.

She questions the show's practices most frequently and acts as the viewers ' conscience.

In Heroes and Villains ( series 2 ), she is the only member of the team to have read the supposedly racist book the show is attacking and objects to their incendiary treatment of its author.

Early in series 2 and 3, the executive producers of the time approach Marty and ask him to explain Emma.

Marty explains that while she has moral qualms like Mike does, she is more difficult to handle because she is intelligent.

Despite often objecting, Emma is usually party to ethically questionable practices and occasionally finds them amusing.

In A Hole In The Heart ( part 2 ), to placate a director from charity organisation Rotary, she allows the executive producer to yell at her and pretend to fire her over one of the show's decisions, when in reality she is receiving a large pay rise in return for her part of the act.
