Shelley says: “The past few months were tiring to film. The storyline has been going on for two years and at times it was difficult to unwind.Shelley, 64, told The Sun on Sunday how making some of the darker scenes took a toll on her emotionally“I’ve heard the most distressing stories from women and men from so many different backgrounds and cultures.“Corrie is informing people there is help out there. It’s such an important issue to tackle — that’s why I love it.
“I’m a theatre actor — and all actors, in order to give an acceptable, truthful and vulnerable performance, have to open themselves up to the situation of the person they are portraying. Shelley and the writers worked with domestic abuse charity Women’s Aid and talked to victims about their experiences. These stories were weaved into the scripts.
