This relationship that on paper makes no sense but somehow works like a dream. To see Maeve grow alongside Aimee and what that relationship is has been special. What I love most about Maeve's storyline is seeing her grow over the three seasons in her interactions with others. How has it been portraying her character arc so far? Maeve's had a lot of growth in just three seasons. It has an innocence to it, which I quite like. I was like, "Oh, man." It's a real heart-warmer. For some reason, that little moment on the bridge is one of my favorites. I really love the scene in Season 1 when he gives her his jumper. Maeve and Otis have had some big scenes together on Sex Education but do you have a favorite small moment? She's a good woman to look up to and a good human. She teaches me a lot and she's a really good guide to have on set. I just love and admire Anne-Marie Duff so much, so anytime I get to work with her is a real treat. I also love the scenes with Maeve's mum, with Erin. They're always sort of in front of my mind. I love the scenes that Aimee and I have together.
There are lots of lovely, important moments for Maeve's development, especially with her relationships with people. Is there a Maeve scene so far that you're most proud of? It was such an important moment and we loved that people responded to it really well.ħ. So it's good to see her shine bright in stuff like that. Aimee just blows us all away and I'm completely obsessed with her. So the bus scene was on my last day of Season 2. But I remember we had a couple of days of doing the detention scene with all the girls being together and then when we smash up the car. I don't like to project and get in my head while filming and saying like, "Is this going to work?" because I would stress and everything. One of the biggest Sex Education moments is when Maeve and the rest of Aimee's friends get on the bus with her. Is there an actor you admired growing up?Įmma Thompson. Do you have an actor you would love to work with in the future? When I understood that was a real job people could have, I got quite excited. That naturally progressed into acting further down the line. So I was more interested by imagination and stories. I read more books than I watched films and shows when I was a kid.
Is there a movie or TV show that made you want to become an actor?
