Juliet Aubrey (Annie Fleming)

Juliet trained at the Central School of Speech and Drama and has had a long and varied acting career.

Film work has included playing Helen in Welcome to Sarajevo which was in the official selection for Cannes in 1997 and Madeline in Food of Love for which she won the 1997 La Boule award for Best Actress (also in 1997).

Television roles have included playing Dorothea in the highly acclaimed Middlemarch for which she was awarded a BAFTA for Best Actress.

Juliet was brought up in Fleet, Hampshire and has a degree in archaeology from Kings College, London. After winning her BAFTA she spent a year in India.

 

How did you get involved?

Well it was simply a terrific project, with an interesting character to play. Annie Fleming is a
violently ambitious woman, she's very materialistic, almost a money junkie. She has been brought up in a world of crime where she's always had to hide her feelings so you never really know what she is thinking. Her heart and feet do two different things. So, as I said, a very interesting story. Also I had known Michael Foster for quite a long time, and he's a very interesting man, so I was intrigued.

Annie is in a position where she is in a world of men and they're mostly a lot older than her generation in age, with issues of respect. She's cold and she's sharp and she's really passionate about life.

 

For Annie's character, what were the challenges, compared to characters you've played previously?

It's a challenge to find really where she's coming from because most of the time she's not saying what she is thinking. She keeps secrets and keeps things close to her.

 

Does she love Neil Byrne?

Yes, she does. There's a past history with him back to a time when he was married and had children and there was a very strong chemical thing going on between them then. He's not really like the others, he's an open and a good man - not at all like Connor who she's with now.

 

How much do you like working with Sean?

Great, I loved working with Sean.
