VIDEO EXCLUSIVE: Emer Heatley On Working With Matthew Macfayden On ‘Stonehouse’

Emer Heatley, who plays Stonehouse’s mistress Sheila Buckley, sat down with uInterview founder Erik Meers to discuss what it’s like to play an unsympathetic character.

“There are definitely parts where you think, ‘how could she possibly do that,’ but there are also moments where you see that there’s a real, genuine love and affection that she has for John to stick with him throughout all of this chaos,” Heatley said. “So I suppose that’s what really helped me as an actor to show how much she kind of loves him, and that’s what drives her to do all of these slightly crazy things.”

Heatley also revealed what working with Matthew Macfayden and Keely Hawes was like.

“Being with them on set, they are so much fun,” Heatley responded. “I don’t think there was a moment where we weren’t laughing backstage. I think the editors had such a job being able to find a take where we weren’t giggling away.”

Stonehouse is now available on Britbox.
