Dan Cohen: ‘We find resolution in the last series of My Mad Fat Diary’ (VIDEO)
My Mad Fat Diary regular Dan Cohen and new addition Faye Marsay reveal what’s in store for Rae Earl (Sharon Rooney) and the gang in the last-ever (sob!) series of the cult classic set in 1990s Lincolnshire…
Dan, who plays Archie, told What's on TV: “All the stuff you discovered about the characters in the last two series finds resolution in the last three episodes.” "]
He added: “It’s the last series, definitely. There’s a little leap in time and we pick up two years after series two.”
Faye Marsay plays newcomer Katie Springer, who forms a strong bond with protagonist Rae Earl from the start of the three-part finale.
She explains: “Rae bumps into Katie when she goes to Bristol university.
“In the beginning Rae looks up to Katie, who presents a strong sorted person, but actually that unravels... They have an interesting relationship.”
Faye, who also recently starred in Game of Thrones, added: “I’m a massive [My Mad Fat Diary] fan. I felt like I’d won a competition to visit the set and the actors on my first day!”
