We have friends that last a particular era and then all of a sudden, you’re like, “I don’t speak to that person that much anymore.” So, when you do connect you almost O.D. And so, I think this relationship lasted a particular era. As you can see, Terry is quite coveted over her relationship with Arabella. Terry (Weruche Opia) was the connecting issue, but then they had their own kind of friendship that kind of splintered off away from Terry. We think that they went to college together and as they went through their early 20’s they were college friends that would kind of party. Q) What kind of backstory were you given on his friendship with Araballa? For now, we solely know that Terry connected the two.Ī) Michaela and I discussed it. Does she know that he may take drugs when he goes out? Yes, I think so. I think it’s something that doesn’t happen often anymore because of the type of people he was doing it with. He’s a city banker and a lot of city bankers get up to that kind of behavior. I wouldn’t think that she doesn’t know that about him.
I think she knows that he is a bit of a partier. Q) Does his girlfriend know that party side to him or does she think it is in his past?Ī) I wasn’t given a backstory in that sense. I think by the time you get to the end of episode two we know that Simon didn’t drug Arabella. It’s so well nuanced that audiences are left feeling how they want to feel and that’s what is fascinating to me. So, I think he missed his girl Arabella as a friend and they are on one of their classic benders. They are used to doing cocaine and they are used to having nights that are no longer. I think with Arabella, they are used to having rough nights. That’s why when he’s in the nightclub she texts him, “I told you she wouldn’t suspect anything.” He’s really referring to his own worry about things going awry. I think he wanted to derail the situation by having his mistress, who is curious about his girlfriend anymore, come into the fray and leave. I think he’s a guy who isn’t interested in his lady having a threesome much. So, he used this moment of adding spice to the relationship of her genuinely thinking, “Shall we try a threesome?” and he used it to for something he was already doing outside of the relationship, which was already having that “extra spice” – so to speak. His relationship with his lady has lasted eight years and his lady has become curious about adding spice to their relationship.
Q) How was your character Simon originally described to you?Ī) Well, I think Simon is that kind of high energy, intentions in the right place kind of guy. It was really cool to jump in and out and see it progressing.
I came to London and shot it while shooting another film in Atlanta. I thought, “Let me definitely have fun it.” I met with Michaela and the rest was fast moving. It was an opportunity for me to play something in terms of my language and my energy. I read it and was immediately drawn to the complications of the characters. I’ve known her in passing for the better part of twelve years. He goes, “I think this is a good entry point back to the UK.” I was like, “Let me read it.” I’ve known Michaela, not well but we’re from the same scene. I was sent the script by my agent and I had just joined a new agency. So, I was really looking for a project where I could come home and do something interesting. I’ve spent most of my time in America doing American characters or Jamaican in Yardie and Kenyan. I haven’t been in a UK project speaking English for about ten years.
