This was something more mature, which I really appreciated.īen Lloyd-Hughes: I agree, and thank you, Rose! Chemistry is kind of like charisma, you either have it or you don’t, and it’s not necessarily something you can stumble upon. There's a different kind of romance with Charlotte and Colbourne, it’s not that adrenaline-fuelled love young. He was also very easy to talk to about our scenes. He has a great sense of humour, and when I was stressed, he brought a level of calm that really helped me. So far people have been shipping them pretty hard, which I'm very pleased about.īen and Rose, how did you manage to achieve such amazing chemistry? Williams: (Laughs) What a question! Ben made me feel very comfortable. In the rushes, we got to see Ben and Rose in the same frame and I remember thinking "I love this, I'm rooting for these two". So no, we didn't take anything for granted, we just tried to craft it carefully and pace it right. We had a very big challenge to try and create a new love story that didn't feel like we were replacing anything we wanted it to be organic and to follow Charlotte's journey of getting over Sidney. We are absolutely shameless plunderers!ĭid you expect "Heybourne" to be so instantly beloved? We were really nervous actually! So much of the incredible fan response to season one – including the petition – was because people wanted a happy ending for Sidney and Charlotte. We also paid homage to a few other classic films and novels, many have already worked out what they are. So it was a mixture of that and looking at the period Charles Lockhart, for instance, came out of the fact that this is the time of the romantics. That concept was in existence way before we got green-lit for season two, and once you have the army in a Jane Austen setting, you know what's coming next – some will be honourable and some will be less honourable. Actually, the idea for the army showing up in season two came from our production designer Grant Montgomery! He said, "wouldn't it be wonderful to have the army on the beach in their redcoats and on their horses?" We went back to all of her novels and looked at the archetypes and we built them from there. Where does your inspiration come from for new characters? - Young: That's a great question! The short answer is from Jane Austen.
