Roland was asked to write a 52-episode radio serial by Nell Sterling of George Edwards Productions. The serial was to be aimed at the female listener. Roland decided to write something about a woman scorned. Roland wrote 40 episodes and says she had writer's block so Lorna Bingham wrote the remaining twelve. Roland then moved to London.
