Actors reveal struggle to cope
Actor Ben Price revealed the harrowing scenes have taken their toll on himself and co-star Jane Danson.
This will continue to play out for quite a while, especially for Leanne.
“Jane has been fantastic. She’s super solid, we’re very supportive of each other but when you’re in it you’re in it,” he said.
“We’re both old enough to know what comes with these types of big storylines, but we’re also lucky enough to go back to our own families where this is not our life, and that’s important.
“When we’re in work we give it 100%, but when we step out you have to try not to take it home. There are days when we’ve cried a lot and you can’t stop crying but that’s what we’re paid to do. Jane has done an amazing job.”
“It’s important to get this story right,” he added.
“Jane and I are both aware that this is someone’s story. This is someone’s life and that’s why we’re giving it everything we can.
