Hannah Kennedy

(Amy James-kelly)

Hannah and husband Jonathan (The Fall’s Colin Morgan) are overjoyed to discover they’re expecting. But their happiness turns to devastation when they learn that their unborn child will die during pregnancy or soon after birth. They make the heartbreaking decision to have a termination, only to be informed that it’s not an option.

After Hannah carries her baby to full term and gives birth, she joins an activist group determined to change the law…

‘There’s a sense of responsibility to play an actual woman’s grief,’ says

Amy, 26. ‘Yet Hannah is a ray of sunshine. She does everything wholeheartedly with love, even in her darkest days. That’s the kind of person we all want to be, isn’t it?’
