Anna/Ian is adorkable and all but has anyone considered… Anna/Lucy? AKA the plot twist we deserve?

SARAH PARISH as Anna Rampton | W1A 3.01

Sarah and I are meeting to discuss her new Netflix thriller Stay Close. Based on a novel by Harlan Coben, it’s a twisty, eight-part mystery involving a large cast of characters, each of whom seems to be harbouring a terrible secret. Sarah stars as nightclub manager Lorraine, alongside Cush Jumbo, James Nesbitt, Richard Armitage and Eddie Izzard. Many of her past roles have been severe types, from psychopathic police detective Bancroft to W1A’s uptight Anna Rampton; she’s previously put this down to the fact that ‘I haven’t got a nice, cute little face – I’m high of cheekbone, as my mother would say.’

So it’s refreshing to see her play Lorraine, a role that draws instead on her natural warmth and humour. ‘She is a lovable character– she’s the heart of the piece,’ she says. She also has wild curly hair, very different to Sarah’s own. ‘It seemed like a great idea at the time. It’s a fun look but, of course, the decisions you make at the beginning of the shoot… by the end, you’re thinking, “Oh my god, that’s another hour in make-up that I’m never going to get back.”’
