“Contained on an island and forced to face the consequences of their mother’s life-changing decisions, can Becca and Rosaline learn to love and respect each other again?”

Suranne, who not only starred in the series but also helped create it, recently spoke about how the story connects to her own grieving experience after losing both parents.

In an interview with The Sun, she explained: “It’s no secret that I lost both parents, so obviously I know grief and it’s an important part of our conversations. me and what it does to someone.

“It’s either going to come or people have been through it, and this show doesn’t deal with that quickly, it deals with that in three episodes, stages of grief. There’s humor in that and It’s not an easy ride, simple. Don’t get a blueprint for how you’re going to feel.”
