Interviews were conducted, phone calls made, and it seemed that this was now a priority.

What a big scalp that would be to claim, if they could bring charges against the former Gold Logie winning actor, Craig McLaughlin.

And imagine if they lost their star witness, C1.

What would that have meant for the rest of the case?

Well, as we know, C1 didn't withdraw her statement, and the rest is history.

So was C1 really Craig's friend, as she had demonstrated for all of those years?

How on earth did this great friendship end up in a criminal court?

And what sort of mindset would lead this former friend to publicly destroy Craig's life?

Well, what became increasingly evident as more and more information revealed itself was a recurring theme that C1 believed her reputation had been damaged by Craig post-Rocky Horror and that things were being said about her.

A reminder of parts of the text messages C1 and Craig shared just weeks after the Rocky Horror Show tour ended give an insight.

A whole lot of he said, she said.

All I know is that I turned up on that last day.

You had been like a brother to me, as we said all along.

But the fact people had it in for me, well, I don't understand and I'm just trying to move on.

It's hard.

I was worried the whole company was turning on me.

Some months later, Sea Wine exchanged messages with her best friends on a group chat.

On October 7, 2014, three months after the Rocky Horror Show tour ended, this is what was exchanged.

I had a nightmare about Craig McLachlan last night and it's made me wake up so low thinking of all that Rocky shit again.

Just about that last day.
