Will love conquer all for desperate Kate?
KATE’S desire to have a baby is ramped up to the fullest this week when she tries to snare Adam after having a blazing row with Rana.
“This is her last option,” says Faye Brookes, who plays Kate.“She isn’t thinking at all.
“She is drunk and she starts flirting with him, he kisses her and this idea enters her head that this may be the way for her to get a baby.
“But this is not who she is and she doesn’t go ahead with it.
“She has lost sight of herself throughout this, has lost control and she is quite horrified at what she almost did.
“She has got so desperate and she is thinking of nothing other than a baby and how it will fix everything and make it all OK.”
The barney with Rana (Bhavna Limbachnia) looks like spelling the end of their relationship and Faye admits shooting it all was tough. “Those scenes were brutal to film for me and Bhavna,” admits Faye. “We really had to go there because we wanted
it to be real because they have been on this journey for so long and fought for so much.
“What they have is real but they haven’t been dealing with a lot of the emotion that has been going on – Rana losing her dad, Kate losing her brother – they have had a hell of a year.
“They should probably have gone away together and really got to know each other, but everything else got in the way, which is so sad and now it has led to this huge breakdown in communication.
“They have been caught up in the love affair and their feelings for each other and they thought that would be enough and it would see them through.
“Because of everything they had been through to get together, they think that it will just work out.
“But it is so complex.” Despite the bitterness and distrust, Kaye is still hopeful Kate and Rana can find a way to have a future.
“The love is still there, they have both done things wrong and they will be able to find a way to move on from this, the just need to take a step back,” adds Kate.
“The one thing that they both do really well is that they apologise when they are at fault and I feel like their love is a love that will conquer all and will last.
“With everything out in the open they will start to rebuild and focus on each other and not get hung up on what anyone else thinks.
“In some ways they needed this to refocus and start afresh.
“Watch this space – this is not the end for Kana!”
