James explained that Nessa’s life has been remarkably varied, and you can discover more about her fascinating past in this unique feature – it even includes some enjoyable anecdotes we’ve included,” (paraphrased)

“He pondered that perhaps it’s the rarity of seeing characters on TV or in movies who resemble Ruth and him falling in love that has made Smithy and Nessa so endearing to fans.

‘Instead of helping me out with delivering a TV to Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones, you were busy working at a newsstand as if selling newspapers was more important.’

I appreciate the show because it’s full of complexities and chaos, and the portrayal of intimate moments is incredibly bold. I enjoy this boldness immensely.

Initially, when the writers were trying to convey their unique relationship, Ruth noted that their partners had some doubts about the approach, as they were unsure of the best way to present it.

In the pilot episode, their first intimate encounter took place, and given our uncertainty about the series at that point, it might have appeared a bit like a romantic comedy scene.

In a place that held great significance for us, the two of us were present – it was just me, Ruth, and James. As I gazed at my cherished friend, James, a moment came when I spoke from the depths of my heart to him, saying, “I have loved you completely.” This is how Ruth remembered it.

Although they claim this upcoming episode serves as the finale, fans are buzzing with theories suggesting it might not be the end and there could be additional content in store.

James firmly believes this is the truth, and with a foreboding tone, she cautions viewers by saying, “It must stop. Once you witness it, you will understand.

The duo aren’t ruling out collaborating again with James asserting, ” Frankly, I can’t guarantee we have another concept brewing, but I would feel quite disheartened if we didn’t at least consider and delve into the possibility of working together again.
