Screenwriting - Denial of Voices

Have you ever decided while you were writing that you were not going to have a certain character in your story?

For example, you might say well in this story I don't want there to be any news reporters.  Or I don't want the cops to be involved.

But while your writing, your intuition is saying that "if this thing happened, the police would know about it".

Don't deny that voice.  Don't deny that character.

If your intuition says that character should come into play, then you've got to do it.  Your intellect can't stop what your intuition wants.  You got to play fair.  And you'll see it makes the story better.

Stories are about two characters battling over something and sometimes it may be that voice you're denying, that ends up tip the balance and ending the story.
