Gay Times interview: Casualty and music

Hannah recently spoke to Gay Times about Casualty, music and much more. We also have more pictures of the fabulous photoshoot Hannah teased us earlier with.


Photoshoots

Since joining Casualty in January, Hannah Spearritt has been causing quite a stir as troubled criminal Mercedes Christie.

The character is a far cry from the star’s squeaky clean S Club 7 days, which gave her four UK number one singles, and comes after five seasons of time-travelling action in hit TV series Primeval.

We caught up with Hannah to talk about her love of Casualty, her dramatic plot lines, and find out whether she’ll ever return to music…

How have you found working on Casualty so far? I don’t want to start with a boat load of clichés, but it really is like one big family, they were all amazing and an absolute credit to the show. Oh well, all clichéd up now… [Laughs] No, in all seriousness, it’s such a genuinely lovely group of people to work with – a bit of a dream job really!

Were you a fan of the show before joining? Yes, I used to watch it every weekend when I was a kid. It’s one of the few shows that has stood the test of time, and for good reason. For me, when I was younger, Casualty was one of the shows that epitomised great television and acting, airing in that prime Saturday slot.

What was it that drew you to the role of Mercedes? I love that she’s a little trouble maker! The prospect of doing something completely different that could potentially challenge me in many ways was really appealing, and that proved to be the case, as I’m sure you can imagine my life has been a long way removed from that of Mercedes.

You’re no stranger to the small screen – how has this project differed from previous acting roles? Probably the most obvious difference was the locations we filmed at, Casualty is pretty much all done in Cardiff at the studios whereas previously I’ve been in remote, isolated corners of the country. From an acting perspective, though, the one major difference is the number of cast and crew and the huge team atmosphere. There’s always more than one set filming at the same time.

Was there anything in particular you did to prepare for your character? Yes, I smoked crack and took ecstasy everyday, didn’t want to break character [Laughs] No, unfortunately there are limits on how much you can imitate your character’s traits. Or fortunately I should say! Actually, what I really did was I styled her character somewhat with repeated trips to Camden market where I bought all sorts of crap. It was great fun – braids, nose rings, earrings and all sorts.

How does it feel watching yourself back on TV in a role so different from yourself? It always starts with nervous excitement, I have to be prepared to cover my eyes in case I’m unbearable. It can also be quite frightening watching in HD during the close ups! Apart from that it’s great.

Comment 🧚‍♀️ if you saw Cinderella panto! Comment 🧚‍♀️ if you saw Cinderella panto!

It proved to be a massive hit. According to Ipswich Star, the panto was Regent Theatre’s “one of the most successful ever”. Also the reviews were great. Here’s how Ipswich Star described the experience: "- - But within just a few minutes I had been won over. - -This production is a classic pantomime – there is nothing radical or unexpected and it is all the better for that. - - And several of the gags were laugh out loud funny. - - It really is a stellar cast right through with S Club 7’s Hannah Spearritt as the Fairy Godmother. - - This is a smashing family outing - and it is not just for the kids. By the end I was even up dancing along myself. Congratulations to everyone involved - and to those who have already got a ticket, you are in for a treat and if you are a Scrooge when you go in you won’t be when you leave.
