The cry on bbc: jenna coleman reveals huge joanna spoiler

The BBC drama focuses around every parent’s worst nightmare as the story really kicks off when Joanna (played by Jenna Coleman) and Alistair (Ewen Leslie) travel to Australia from their home

in Scotland. The plan is to try and fight for custody of Alistair’s daughter, but things take a disastrously dark turn. Following a scene where Joanna leaves her newborn baby Noah in the

car to join her husband in the grocery store, the parents are completely devastated when they realise the infant has disappeared. A media furore ensues and the couple go through their most

difficult challenges yet. What’s more, viewers are still puzzled over the switching timelines, which depicts Joanna as both a grieving mother and a cold and controlled figure in the media.

In an interview with Express.co.uk and other media, Victoria actress Jenna shed light on what’s going on with her character behind the curtain. She began: “I think what drew me in the first

place with reading the script. “It was how over the space of four episodes - to have the Joanna you meet at the beginning, she’s obviously dealing with post-natal depression and struggling

as a mother. “She’s also losing her identity to some degree.” “But then the Joanna you see at the court case at the very end,” Jenna continued. “She’s very kind of self-possessed - it’s how

has that person, become this person? “And what has happened over the space of four episodes for those two people to connect?” The star went on to say taking on the role was a no-brainer, and

it was completely different to anything she’d ever done before. She explained: “I think that’s what was really interesting and challenging. “And also I’d never done anything like a

psychological thriller before. “So playing that and trying to pitch that and judge that is really… I mean we kept talking about it, it’s like a vortex that you go down. “You’re always

duelling, you’re always… you have to completely play the truth, but play the truth that can be seen from literally different camera angles and still read as the same story.” The complex

relationship between Joanna’s “two faces” wasn’t an easy feat to achieve however, and Jenna admitted there was a great deal with discussion with director Glendyn Ivin. “It was really like

walking that tightrope in a way,” she shared. “All the time. It was really challenging.” _THE CRY CONTINUES SUNDAY AT 9PM ON BBC ONE._
