Digital Spy Speaks to Emily!

Have you been recognised a lot since you've appeared on screen?

"Yeah, I have. Mostly, people just whisper - especially when I'm at college! It's worse when I go out with Lily (Loveless, who plays Naomi) - people go crazy! It's quite cool if you've got someone with you because you can share the excitement and it doesn't make you nervous."

Do you think the public have taken well to Emily?

"Well, everyone who has come up to me has been quite nice. I've had no bad experiences, so I think Emily has been received really well, which is cool. I really like her!"

How would you describe her?

"She started out - and always has been - overpowered by her sister. She's really shy and under-confident and she doesn't have many friends - not because she's boring, but because of her sister, Katie. Whenever they meet new people, everyone is attracted to Katie because she's the one in the mini-skirt and she's talkative."

As far as twins go, they are very different...

"The way they've written it is brilliant. Most twin parts you see on TV have them written as best friends, and me and Meg (Katie) find that strange because we don't know any twins who get on that well. Living with someone for nearly 18 years would drive you mad, even if you were good friends. Katie and Emily's relationship is really realistic."

So why is Katie so mean to Emily?

"I think a part of it is that Katie is jealous of all the attention Emily has been getting since all the Naomi stuff came out. And also, I think she's probably secretly worried that everyone will think she's gay just because her sister is! Even though Katie is horrible to Emily, she still needs her. And now that Emily is trying to break away, Katie's scared."

How are things at home for them?

"Their mum and dad are far from perfect, but they're so funny! The dad is a fitness fanatic and runs a business called Fitch Fitness. Their mum is quite protective of them both, but refuses to ever take a side when they argue, which aggravates Emily."

Let's talk Naomi. What's the situation between the girls?

"Emily's gone through this whole emotional struggle with herself. She's questioned whether she's gay and after denying it for a while, she's finally admitted it. I think she's felt better since then, and she's dealt with it. For Naomi, it's a different story - she's still very much questioning herself. She likes Emily a lot, but she's scared because this is a whole new life for her."

Could Emily and Naomi work as a couple?

"Yeah, I think they could. Emily has suffered some harsh rejection from Naomi, and she's really put herself out there. If she can forgive Naomi for the humiliation she made her feel, they could be great together!"

There's quite a lot of nudity - does it bother you to film those scenes?

"Yeah, it does! What's great, though, is that you never have to do anything you're uncomfortable with - even if it's in the script. It was so daunting at the start of the series, but by the end your embarrassment levels get pushed to the absolute max and then further, so you stop feeling embarrassed. it's cool because you end up much more confident and as an actor it's a great first role because you can move on and not be nervous."

A new series has been commissioned - congratulations!

"It's great news. I don't know what's next for Emily but I'm excited to find out. The writers haven't decided yet, but we all had a meeting with them the other day to talk about our characters and where they should go. I can't tell you what was said, but it's really exciting!"

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By +Random Stranger · Posted

      I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By tradesetter · Posted

      The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
