Mojor Project: Toby's backstory and motive

After getting feedback from my first draft of my script it was clear that Toby needs a backstory to why he is what he is and a motive to why he would join the tennis club. After discussing these issues with my peers, there are some ideas which I think could really work.

Toby's backstory: Toby did already have a backstory which I wanted to get across in episode 6. Toby's father is the main reason he is the way that he is, he told his son at a young age that if people annoy him that he should just ignore them and pretend they don't even exist, when Toby mentions that everyone in his class annoys him his father tells him to block everyone out. Toby asks how he would make friends by doing this to which his father heavily discourages this. After talking with Sam he recommended that I should stretch this backstory out across all 6 episodes so that people can still get an essence of  Toby as a character from the start of the series.

Toby's motive for joining the tennis club: I've changed up the story of how Toby joins the tennis club. Instead of him accepting Bobbers' offer from the get go, he refuses the offer at first but Bobbers keeps on pestering him about joining every single day when he sees Toby on his way to work. After about 10 tries he tells Toby that if he takes a trial run and doesn't like it he can just leave and Bobbers won't bother him ever again. Toby reluctantly accepts this offer just to get Bobbers off his back. 

I will rework these scenarios into my script by the next draft.
