With Jodie’s latest move being made with the intention of causing angst in Shona and David’s marriage, Brown explained that Jodie’s malicious schemes are born out of her long-held desire to feel loved.

“She wants to put Shona out of the picture, even if for a few hours, so she can step into her shoes,” said the actor. “There’s a moment where Shona is fast asleep, and Jodie watches a film with David. She wants to feel that closeness and validation that Shona gets every day.”
