Charlie Murphy talks starring in Netflix's Obsession and reminisces on Happy Valley.
_Charlie Murphy plays Anna Barton who is embroiled in a passionate affair with her soon-to-be fiancé's father William Barrow and it jeopardizes their relationships with everyone around them. 'The sex scenes were empowering and enlightening,' Charlie says over Zoom. 'I never thought I'd say "Oh, I wish we could have done more," because it was such a brilliant process.
Murphy reveals that working with the intimacy coordinator was an incredible experience. 'Everyone had the attitude of that this is important work and what an amazing opportunity to delve into the psychology of this and give it breathing space. Adelaide really brought that extra eye that we needed. We worked through the psychological arc of each sex scene where it's rising, where it's dipping all of that.
Charlie says it was 'fun' playing both characters simultaneously. She explains, 'Because they are completely different ends of the spectrum you're not going to smudge them. Ann and Anna are not even close from accents, to how they dress so I had great tricks to keep them separate.' And jumping back to Happy Valley was like home, 'Just going back onto a show that I know so well - it was the best thing to be duelling at the same time while creating Obsession's world.
