Before getting on the scriptwriting scene – Mapleston began his career expecting to be a star. His first job out of university – as a researcher on Nine's McLeod's Daughters – was a brutal reality check. Rather than crafting characters and plot lines, he found himself researching the habits of cows and sheep. Within three months, he was fired. He eventually found another job in television, until 2007 when he secured a writing credit for Home and Away and has since written twelve episodes, becoming a freelance writer for them.
