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!"

    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      I think every American should have a course in a 'dry sense of humour' at school; and perhaps 'using sarcasm in jest' oh, and also 'the use or irony in humour'.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
