Sean Lincoln

Sean Lincoln is one of the writers of Pucks, alongside his wife Beverly. He comes from Britain, and previously wrote with his friend Tim Whittick. He has been married twice, leaving his first wife for Beverly after pursuing a lengthy affair with her. He is good friends with the actor Matt LeBlanc.

Family
His father is a cardiovascular doctor in Britain. Sean feels awkward about asking him for things, because apparently he is a dick. He tells Sean that anyone can preform a quadruple bypass, and refuses to give him the name of a surgeon in LA that he recommends. He has never seen Pucks.

His brother lives in Scotland, near to a golf course that Matt and he golf on in a virtual golfing game.

Beverly Lincoln
He married Beverly after meeting her as a fellow writer on a show they were working on. This not only led to him leaving his first wife, but also, according to Tim, replacing Tim as his writing partner.

After Beverly slept with Matt LeBlanc at the end of series one, Sean found it very hard to trust her and they were separated. During this time, he slept with Morning Randolph, one of the stars of Pucks.

Sean decided to accept Beverly, however he then found that she had slept with Rob Randolph, Morning's brother. He, again, found it hard to trust her after this, however they continued to have a non-sexual relationship. This is until they visit a sex therapist, who allows them to have a sexual relationship once more.

Writing
Sean was one of the original creators of Lyman's Boys, along with his wife, Beverly. He was one of the main factors in the change from Lyman's Boys to Pucks, allowing Matt to persuade him as to the new changes.

Later, Eileen Jaffee tried to persuade him and Beverly to sell The Opposite of Us to a network. He was intrigued, but Beverly was highly against it. However, after Helen Basch, the head of the network, seemed to share their vision, she conceded.

Tim Whittich, Sean's old writing partner, insisted that The Opposite of Us was based on a show that was originally created by Tim and Sean. He therefore insisted on being part of the production. However, when Bev and Sean refused, he threatened legal action.

However, when Bev was accused by Helen of sleeping with Carol, she brought Tim back in order for him to run the show instead of the Lincolns. Tim made them work every night for six weeks when writing the show, mostly with his cookery.
