My favorite spot is my red armchair – it’s just so comfy! I’ve got a little pouffe for my feet, and I even splurged on a foot massager. When I’m really relaxing, I’ll throw on a cozy woolly hat and snuggle under a blanket while I watch TV. It’s the perfect setup!
Following that, she took the lead role in the 2024 film Mr Loverman, an adaptation of Bernardine Evaristo’s novel. The story, which hadn’t been shown on screen before, centers on a wife who discovers her husband (played by Lennie James) is in love with another man. Notably, the film was partially set in Antigua and Barbuda, a country where homosexuality was only decriminalized in 2022. She believes it’s crucial to share stories like these.
Russell T Davies brought back the popular BBC science fiction series in 2005 and oversaw it until 2010. He then returned to the show in 2023.
The story introduces Mabel Tanaka (voiced by Lila Liu) as a mischievous child freeing animals from her elementary school. We then see her as a 19-year-old environmental activist (Piper Curda) who becomes so focused on her work that she starts to struggle in college.
Your plan has a serious weakness – you didn’t account for my capabilities! Imagine a powerful, commanding woman like Brian Cox’s character in Succession. She relishes the dramatic moments, saying, ‘I really sink my teeth into that scene.’ She even playfully apologizes for a slightly rough choice of words. The ending is particularly satisfying, showcasing a stunning performance through subtle facial expressions.
I braced myself, expecting her to be upset by the question, but instead she burst out laughing. “I feel things too strongly,” she explained. “I’d be the one baking cakes for anyone having a rough time, and I’d end up carrying everyone else’s burdens home with me. I’m just overly sensitive.”
You know, Demi Moore was considered for the lead role at one point. I even chatted with Susan Sarandon about it. But the biggest struggle was with Angelina Jolie and the Scarpetta character. She was connected to the project for almost eight years, but it just never came together. The issue was always the script – nobody could quite nail what Scarpetta did as a medical examiner, and it kept falling apart at that stage. It’s frustrating when a good idea can’t get past the writing!
The cast always felt secure in their roles, knowing they’d likely return for more seasons after the first year. Even after just two episodes of the first season, they learned the show would be renewed. For 15 years, they’ve enjoyed a rare level of stability, never facing the disappointment of a final farewell until now.
