Claes Bang & Anne-Marie Duff Interview: Bad Sisters

so well i wanted to start off by asking emery about your character so we start off bad sisters she has lost her husband play by place and this is also it's a thriller and it's a dark comedy so what is the greeting process going to look like for her this season that's who you meet a woman in deep grief right at the beginning of the show so you don't really know who she is because she's kind of defined by her love of her late husband isn't she so we don't know who she is she's kind of a mystery she's you know to be unwrapped isn't she um well she's one of the garvey sisters and that's where she started and then she becomes mrs john paul williams and so yeah so the journey is that the journey is the discovery of what that means and sadly what that has meant is that she is inside of a very coercive unhealthy marriage and what does that do to a woman so that's kind of the journey of i think a season one yeah that leads me close that leads me to my next question for you which is actually about how you know a lot of the show is based around how jp is this pretty unlikable guy the sisters are not fond of him um but as an actor is it easier for you to kind of keep this character surface level or are you finding yourself kind of diving into different parts of him trying to figure out why he's acting the way he does well i i i actually quite early on thought he you know finding out what he why he does what he does i thought i i had to make a decision quite i mean what otherwise i'd go wrong i think so so i think the the thing that happens is that he feels that the the bond and connection of of these five garbage sisters is a threat to him and his family he feels all the time that someone is trying to take over his life um i don't know and and i don't i don't really know why that is because it's not really something that is real but he sees these monsters everywhere doesn't he and that sort of was was was sort of the outset for me that that's where it's gotten to for some reason he feels he does not feel secure enough within himself to sort of be within that whole framework so so that's sort of why he does what he does i i think that's the very short of it but but um yeah did you two work together at all off screen to cultivate this relationship because you're obviously trying to get it to come across a certain way did you work with the director at all to achieve that we had some rehearsal time before we started filming and we did definitely sit down with devlo the director and the two of us would chat you know and try and work out what this marriage was that was a massive priority for us to because you know the gig would the jig would be up sorry if you didn't believe this marriage if you didn't feel that that was the spinal column of the show you need to really want to rescue grace and you need to despise her husband and we come in so late i mean in the relationship where it's already gone astray so we we don't get we didn't we we had to we did some you know rehearsals and a little bit of improv here and that's just try and fill in the blanks yeah because when you come in when it's when there's no way back it's it's we we sort of need to know also what it was when it was actually if it wasn't good it was at least better than than what it is now so that whole thing was i think that was like the biggest challenge all the time to keep it real and true and and on that track where you could sort of also see well what a pity if they could just do this and this and he he could just stop doing all that they could have a lovely marriage i mean that that i mean yeah you needed to feel that didn't you yeah to become exasperated enough and just like you know here and there just see a little bit of something of hey this could have been really good if he would just relax all right well on that note i'm gonna have to rap but i'm super excited to see how the rest of the show plays out i cannot wait to see what goes on oh thank you thank you all right thank you guys [Music] you
