Payne said her audition for the serial was the first time she attempted to get into television. She said the whole experience had been "amazing".[1] Entertainment website Digital Spy first announced the character of Annalise on 5 September 2011.[2] The Hollyoaks press office said that the students are "possibly the coolest set" to ever feature in the serial because they "shake things up" and face "life's hardest lessons". Their fresher's week branded the "most fun and cringe-worthy" one ever.[3]
| “ | Annalise’s flatmates are her worst nightmare and 7 people living in halls is never going to guarantee you all get along. She’s OCD and a bit of a princess but if anything she just mothers them all and most of them welcome that. Annalise is there to use everything the uni offers and get the most out of her experience and not on a social level which means she often clashes with her housemates. | ” |

E4.com describe Annalise as "the ultimate perfectionist" who likes to keep "calm organised and under (her) control".[5] Payne said that Annalise does not give herself a break because "she puts a lot of pressure on herself to be running every aspect of her life." Annalise's persona formed through the actions of her family. Her sister was a "slacker" and the pressure is on Annalise to do well. Payne said Annalise has cleaning obsession and a "real clean freak around halls". She does this to please others because she feels insecure. While she is good at heart, Annalise is perceived by others to be a "little irritating". Payne opined that viewer could empathise with Annalise because they could have experienced a person at university who acts "grown-up". Annalise likes to mother the other students, a quality Payne said certain females will recognise in themselves. Annalise studies public relations while at HCC, she would likes royalty and wants "be a part of that lifestyle and to be associated with those people".[6]
Annalise arrives in Hollyoaks with her boyfriend Rob Edwards (David Atkins). Payne said that Annalise is "trying to mould him into her perfect man, but I don’t think she’s succeeding very well." Annalise tries to control Rob but she does not want to push him away. Rob enjoys socialising, so she keeps him on "a bit of a leash" and tries to make him happy at the same time. She added that for Annalise, the situation proves to be "a bit of a struggle".[6] Atkins said the only reason his character Rob goes to university is because of Annalise's controlling. Rob also has a sensitive side that he initially only shares with Annalise. Atkins opined that their relationship is a realistic portrayal of those in relationships while studying at university.[7]
