'I underestimated the effect it would have on me as a human being.'
.
I wanted to do as much justice as I could to the part. I knew that this was an important story to share and to tell especially because we started filming during the pandemic, during lockdown and domestic abuse was at an all-time high at that time if you look at the figures. Yeah, absolutely. I underestimated the effect it would have on me as a human being. Like, not just me as an actor playing a part. It was heartbreaking at times. It really was.
She has been shunned from home [from] everything she knows, her mother, her sister, friends. She can't go back. She's been exiled. So she's now come to a strange town that she doesn't know and she's found safety in the arms of a man that she so desperately wants to love her but he doesn't, not in a way that's right for her.
Now this was a tough one for me because, obviously, I think she comes out on top at the end. I think she fights back and she again survives, for herself and her child. I think that she fears for her own life. Sometimes Lauryn can come across as naïve or in need of saving. Would you say that that's true of her? Or would you say that there's actually a lot more to learn than we realise?
We just have a laugh, honestly. We play these quite serious characters but everyone is so funny. Jasmine [Jobson] and I are howling on the set to the point where I'm like, 'Jasmine, you need to go away'. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Ashley [and] Kane are obviously execs, Ashley especially. He does this beautiful thing of being the dad. He's like 'the daddy'.
