SALATUT ELÄMÄT
Screenwriter 2001–2008
Production Fremantle Media Oy
MTV 3, MTV Katsomo

I joined the Salatut elämät (Secret Lives) story team a year after the production of the series moved from Great Britain to Finland, i.e. in 2001. Our team produced the plots and scenes as well as the outlines for the episodes, which were finalized by the dialogue writers. We also created the characters and the season-specific long arcs for the characters. I worked on the series for seven years, and during that time I was involved in the ideation and writing of about a thousand episodes. I also wrote dialogue for the series.
Salatut elämät is Finland's longest-running and still very popular daily drama series. At its peak, the series had more than a million viewers per day, and it is still one of MTV 3's most watched shows.
