'LOVE-HATE: The Teacher stars Sharon Rooney and Sheridan Smith felt so bad filming mean scenes they’d apologise after

(Scottish Sun, 31 January 2022)

DISNEY actress Sharon Rooney has hailed her on-screen rival Sheridan Smith for taking on the role of a teacher accused of sleeping with a young pupil.

The taboo Channel 5 drama, called Teacher, sees a popular educator plead guilty to the sexual offence and lose her job.

[[MORE]]

But all sorts of twists and turns later emerge, casting doubt over what really happened on the night in question.

Sharon, who plays know-it-all English teacher Nina, admits she was seriously impressed by Sheridan, 40, in her controversial portrayal of Jenna Garvey.

The Glasgow-born actress, 33, who portrayed Miss Atlantis in the big-budget 2019 flick Dumbo, says: “Sheridan and I had said hello to each other previously, but never worked together and I was so thrilled to be on set with her.

“She was on my bucket list of actresses to work with, which keeps getting smaller as I get more opportunities.

“It’s quite funny though, because I spent the whole time glaring at her in every scene, but then the minute they shouted ‘Cut’ we were laughing together.

“Having Sheridan in the lead is just genius, she’s so great.”

Lead star Sheridan, famous for roles in The Royle Family and Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, also enjoyed her on-screen spats with Sharon.

She adds: “Sharon is the loveliest girl, but our characters are so horrible to each other – we’d do our scenes and then apologise and hug afterwards.

“I’ve always been a fan of hers, she’s great and not like her character, Nina at all.”

Sharon, who shot to fame on teen comedy drama My Mad Fat Diary, reckons the programme will get people talking.

After being formally charged with having sex with a minor, the press get hold of her story and let rip with salacious stories, Jenna has to move in with her father and loses all of her friends.

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE

But it’s hinted that there’s more than meets the eye with the scandal.

Sharon says: “It’s so clever, it sucks you in and you keep changing your mind about what’s happened.

“That’s what great telly is, and I hope people will grab a cup of tea and a blanket, and buckle in.

“I don’t know if I would have the willpower to watch one episode at a time with this show, it’s definitely worth a binge watch – it’s the kind of show where you say, “I’m going in, no-one talk to me, I’m muting my phone and I’ll be back when it’s done!”

The actress, who also starred in the pilot of hit comedy Two Doors Down, is used to playing younger characters.

So she admits it was a surprise when she found out she was going to be both a mum and teacher in her latest job.

However she enjoyed the change of pace and reckons it made her view school in an entirely different light.

Sharon explains: “Nina is quite a character – she takes no prisoners and she says exactly how she feels.

“She reminds me of those ex-smokers who are the worst when it comes to telling people to stop smoking.

“She hasn’t got a chip on her shoulder, she's got a bag of chips on her shoulder.

'TAKES NO PRISONERS'

“Nina isn’t perfect in any way, she has a past, but she can’t see that anymore because she tries so hard to be the opposite of what she used to be.

“Nina has become this reformed teacher, a grown-up, and she’s forgotten where she came from.

“That's what bugs her so much about Jenna – she can't understand why she's not behaving like an adult.”

She adds: “I was so chuffed to get the job because it really is something quite different for me."

“I look like an adult in the show too, which is so funny to me, because I'm so used to playing the young ones.

“When I heard about the job, I thought my agent was putting me forward for one of the kids – I’m not used to playing the mum with the chip on her shoulder – I'm used to playing the teenager who caused the chip.

NEW ENVIRONMENT

“I’m quite shy in real life as well, so it’s fun to play someone so bossy and cheeky. I was always the one messing about at school, being silly.

“So, from the minute I stepped into that environment for filming, a little part of me still wanted to joke about and make people laugh.

“It was very weird being in the staff room – I've never been in one before but I was always that kid at the door trying to peek in to see what they do in there.

“But actually I’ve discovered it's just a lot of marking, chatting and drinking coffee, there are no secrets.

“I had to really remind myself I was the teacher, not one of the kids.

“I am used to playing the one without a care in the world rather than the grown-up telling the kids to put their ties on and get to class, it was really strange.”

UNCOMFORTABLE VIEWING

Sheridan also hopes that folk see the serious side of the situation and question every twist and turn.

The actress researched some similar real-life cases to try to understand their mentality.

And she reckons her chaotic character could split opinion among viewers.

She says: “There are teacher-student boundaries and she has maybe let that slip.

“And then of course her life outside of the classroom is chaotic.

“I really hope people don't know what to think about her.

“There were scenes where I was thinking, ‘This is so terrible, you'd be fired immediately,’, her actions didn't sit right with me, but I enjoyed playing them as well.

“It will make incredibly uncomfortable viewing and you won’t know if you like her or not.”

But as long as the audience like the show then she’ll be happy.

Sheridan adds: “Hopefully there will be lots of people not knowing if they trust me as Jenna – there are bits where it looks like I could be quite sinister.

“I hope there are a lot of conversations about whether she is guilty, especially as all the twists and turns come out, it gets so complicated and dark.

"Just can't wait for the audience to see it – when I first read it I was gripped and I hope they feel the same and come on the journey with us.”

The Teacher will launch on Monday, January 31 at 9pm on Channel 5.' X

Noticias de la semana: Las cuatro nuevas series de 'Juego de Tronos'

El futuro de Game of Thrones

HBO ya ve cerca el final de Juego de Tronos y empieza a pensar en el futuro de la franquicia. La cadena ha comenzado a hablar con George R.R. Martin y otros cuatro guionistas para desarrollar cuatro series que explorarían historias de distintas épocas de este universo, sin aclarar si serían precuelas, secuelas o spin-offs. Estos guionistas son Max Borenstein (Kong: Skull Island, Minority Report), Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass, Kingsman), Brian Helgeland (Mystic River, A Knight's Tale) y Carly Wray (Mad Men, The Leftovers), que no tienen ninguna relación con la serie original. Weiss y Benioff no están unidos a estos proyectos actualmente, pero serían productores ejecutivos de cualquiera de ellos junto a Martin si llegasen a materializarse. Sin prisa, su futuro depende de los guiones. [Fuente]

Eric Dane pide una pausa

Tras volver de dos semanas de vacaciones, la producción de The Last Ship vuelve a detenerse hasta el 29 de mayo a petición de Eric Dane, que quiere tratar su depresión.
