![]() Everyone was kind of aware of the nature of what we were filming. I think literally it was something like on Monday we shot the scene where Skerrett comes home and tells Francatelli that she’s pregnant and by the Friday she’s dead. It was physically exhausting and of course it was very emotionally taxing as well.īut it was also quick. It’s a very, very aggressive illness, and a lot of what I had to do in those final scenes involved me portraying how much pain she was in to the point that she was delirious. So, Skerrett finding out that she’s pregnant and then Skerrett getting ill and all the scenes of Skerrett on her deathbed and her death were all shot in sequence, which was so helpful because we really got to live and breathe the journey that these characters are going through.Īnd it was quite intense. ![]() But it was somehow wonderfully arranged that we could shoot all of Francatelli and Skerrett’s final scenes together. It’s really rare in filming that we ever get to do anything chronologically it’s normally just based on location. The scenes between Francatelli and Skerrett on her deathbed are so emotional. In a odd, tragic way, it’s a more exciting ending than that. When I signed on, I knew I was going to do three series, so it’s a bit more exciting for her to die than it is for her to.I never felt like she was the kind of character who would just run off into the sunset and that would be the end. Obviously, I deeply love Skerrett as a character, so I felt very sad hearing what was going to happen to her, but on an acting level I was quite excited for the challenge of filming it. I was having dinner with Daisy Goodwin, the show's writer, and she broke it to me over supper, a few months before we even had the script. Aimee Spinks What was your first reaction when you found out what was going to happen to Skerrett this season? And it was so lovely to have Tommy Knight, who plays Brodie, with us there because he's always very funny on set. ![]() So it was very much hitting the ground running, but we’ve been playing the characters for long enough that we can slip into them easily. We got back to set after six months off, and day one, scene one was Nancy and Francatelli’s wedding. It was so sweet, but a little bizarre shooting the wedding scene because it was the first scene that we shot of all of series three. What was it like shooting those wedding scenes? Before we get to the tragedy of episode four, let's talk about Skerrett's highly anticipated marriage to Francatelli. T&C spoke to Hudson about Skerrett's arc this season, from her wedding day to her dramatic exit from the series, below. But as sad as Hudson is to leave behind Victoria, she's glad her character didn't get an unimaginative fairytale ending. Her exit comes as a major shock, given how economic the show's writers have been about slowly doling out the "Skerratelli" romance. Play icon The triangle icon that indicates to play
