Joseph Gilgun: “Yeah, he’s like a turd that won’t flush, Cassidy. That relationship is constantly weighed, I don’t know what turds weigh. Anyway, yeah, he is waiting. He loves her. It’s unrequited love. It’s the worst feeling. I know the feeling. I think everyone’s had that at some stage and it’s really lonely. It’s a bloody shame. He wants to be honest. He wants to be honest with his friend as well about what he’s got. I don’t think Cassidy understands Jesse like Tulip does. She’s really seen that side of him where, I don’t know though. He loves her. He absolutely adores Tulip. He just wishes Jesse maybe appreciated her a little bit more as well.”

Ruth Negga: “The dynamic is interesting, isn’t it? I think those kind of male or female roles are reversed. He wants to be honest and have conversation, pour his heart out and have a night in and talk about his feeling. And Tulip’s like, ‘No, I don’t want to do that actually. I’d like to keep that compartmentalized somewhere else,’ which usually you don’t really see that, do you? Women portrayed as compartmentalizing their relationship. Tulip’s [feeling] is if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. We don’t need to talk about that. I like that dynamic. That tension is very constant. It’s a constant theme. What I love about her is she doesn’t think it’s necessary to reveal anything. She’s had a life outside of him. That’s not healthy, but it’s the part that hurts and I think we see all of those unhealthy bits of her laid bare this season. Especially in terms of what she’s been doing when she hasn’t been with Jesse.”
