What was your favourite sCEnE to fiLm?
My all-time favourite evil moment of Robyn’s would have to be bursting into Andrew Solomon and Sarah Potts’ wedding while six months pregnant with his twins. And this was after I had hired a hitman to kill him and then seduced him while he was recovering from his head injury! Oh, and I had also drugged and kidnapped his teenage sister. All in a week’s work! It was dramatic, totally outrageous and wicked fun to play.
CouLD you sympAtHIsE wItH RoByn?
Always. Robyn’s actions often sprung from hurt, jealousy, fear or delusion. I marvelled at her relentless ability to set and achieve her goals – but I’m happy to say I didn’t have to run my husband over with a car to get him to marry me.
WHAt’s tHE most EvIL tHInG you’vE DonE In rEAL LIFE?
Well, I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you!
