Is this a new photo? We’ve had so many at this point I can’t keep up lol. (Edit: On second thoughts I think its a mash-up of two existing photos)
Also more extremely comforting words from Anya:
‘Keeping in line with history, Thomas Seymour — Edward’s maternal uncle and the lover of Henry VIII’s widow, Catherine Parr — takes a liking to Elizabeth. Given their stark age difference (she’s 14 and he’s in his late-30s in the show), Reiss worked to ensure the audience understood that this relationship was inappropriate.
“I’m so firmly on, ‘It’s abusive,’” Reiss notes. “It’s a terrible thing that happened to her. But also, we want to tell it through her eyes, and we don’t want to see her as foolish or part of making that decision.”
“I think a lot of women [can look at] an early relationship and go, ‘Oh, that wasn’t good, was it? I thought it was at the time…’” says Reiss. “But probably because I was exercising my own demons a bit, it was kind of like, ‘No, we need to show that he’s a terrible person.’ George [Ormond] was very good at restraining me from that and trying to let things play out how they do. I hope there is room for interpretation within what it is.”’
Music to my ears!!
