In February, the two spoke to the AP about the show’s love scenes, with Nicola saying: “There’s so much vulnerability in those scenes, and it’s also a very important part of the story – it’s an important part of the storytelling. Luke Newton made me feel comfortable, to the point where we would lay under a blanket and say, “We’re really relaxed now.”

The actress added: “We were having a great time. They would say to us: “Do you want to get up?” and we would say: “No, no, we are fine”. It’s a testament to the fact that we just got to a point where we felt so comfortable together.”
