INTERVIEW WITH CHARLOTTE JORDAN ABOUT HER CHARACTER'S RECENT STRUGGLES

After everything that Daisy Midgeley has been through over the past few months, it's no wonder Daisy is confused and struggling after the events what her ordeal. Here Daisy actress, Charlotte Jordan speaks bout what her character has been through and what fans can expect.

After the court scenes, Daisy went to comfort Ryan, and ended up kissing, leaving Daisy in turmoil. Does she regret her kiss with Ryan? "She does and she doesn’t. She does regret it because obviously she does love Daniel; she’s committed to him and she sees a future with him because they are still planning on getting married. But she is just really overwhelmed by these feelings that she has caught really quickly for Ryan so she’s just confused at the moment."

When Charlotte was asked about the state of Daisy and Daniel’s relationship after all they’ve been through? "The state of their relationship is that Daniel is hyper-aware that Daisy is spending most of her time with Ryan and his suspicions are rising and rightly so, because she is beginning to fall for Ryan, she is lying to Daniel so trouble is on the horizon."

Are you surprised Daisy is betraying Daniel with Ryan? "I think even the audience will see this coming and I am not surprised about this turn of events but I think Daisy is surprised. When Daisy decided to take on the role as Ryan’s protector and carer and confidant., she had no romantic intentions. She was not there just to support him through something and be a really good friend but before she knows it, she’s got these feelings that she doesn’t want and doesn’t know how to deal with."

Would a relationship between Daisy and Ryan be a good idea? I don’t know! Because it stems from so much trauma, I don’t know how healthy it is so I am not sure on that one. Who do you think Daisy is better suited to - Daniel or Ryan? "Daisy does have a lot in common with Ryan, like similar interests, so if it was a genuine thing that didn't stem from trauma then it could be something quite good. But at the end of the day, that’s not what happens so I think she would be better with Daniel in the long term."

Charlotte, were you disappointed Daisy never got her dream wedding day? "Yes I was because that wedding was like her baby and she was so into it! She just wanted this big, flashy display of love and her and Daniel were going to be together forever. So yes I am sad that she never got that and it was so grotesquely taken from her by someone so vile and entitled. Hopefully Daisy and Daniel can find their way back to each other after all this mess and maybe have another crack at it!"

What Charlotte was asked about how Daisy has changed over the past 6 months, Charlotte replied: "I feel like the trauma has made her more jaded and she trusts the world less. She is a lot more conscious of the choices that she’s making with things like what she wears, how much makeup she wears and how she wears her hair. These things used to be a passion to her. So now she’s just a lot ‘less’ than what she was, which I think is really sad."

What has the viewer reaction been towards Daisy since the recent storylines? "We got a massive, positive reaction and that was really kind of people because there was such a response to it. The viewers were really great about that so hopefully as Daisy goes down this morally-conflicted path, the viewers remember what has happened and where it has stemmed from and forgive her in the future."

Finally, Charlotte was asked about what she can say about Daisy's future, she said: "We are going to see Daisy become conflicted in this triangle with Ryan and Daniel. She is going to be very confused about her feelings and we will see her potentially fall in love with two people at once."
