BOMBSHELL TV Times Interview 2004
He was a medic in Holby, she was a maniac in
Footballers' Wives, but as our exclusive picture shows (!), Jeremy
Sheffield and Zoe Lucker will be working together as soldiers in next
year's new Army drama, Bombshell.
And their characters - Major Nicholas Welling and
Captain Jenna Marston - will be working very closely indeed. They're
having an illicit affair in spite of the risk to their jobs - and to
Nick's marriage.
'He has a failing marriage to an alcoholic wife,
but he's a bit of an emotional coward and is afraid to break if off',
says Jeremy. 'So he's caught between two stools, trying to juggle his
family life and his love for Jenna. And he can't juggle very well
...'.
(There's there a couple of columns where Zoe Lucker
talks about how different Jenna is from Tanya, the character she
played in Footballers' Wives, but her comments don't mention anything
to do with Jeremy's character).
Both actors admit they are nervous about their new
project, which is made by the same people behind Bad Girls and
Footballers Wives. 'I think there will be a lot of expectation
surrounding this, and you worry you won't live up to that' says
Jeremy.
Thanks to Rachel for typing this up for the site ... Can anyone scan the picture to go with it?
