'I wanted to show what I needed to see when I was growing up.'
The actress, whose character was married to a man named Max on the series, said she felt it was important to represent a disabled person in a stable relationship.
"I loved Clarissa from the minute I read the script," Carr said."I got her. I wanted her to have a stable relationship as what we see on TV usually is disabled people going: 'Will they love me because I'm disabled?'"That's valid, don't get me wrong. But that's usually the same story we see. So I wanted to show what I needed to see when I was growing up… all the other main characters, Thomas, Nikki and Jack, they all have kind of weird relationships.
Opening up about her life in the spotlight, Carr said that, unless people recognise her from TV, she's"invisible". "If you don't know me from the telly, I'm invisible as a disabled woman. If you know me from the TV, people want selfies. They're thrilled to meet me. It's a dual life, fascinating."Shop Sky deals across TV, broadband and mobile
