Mutual Friends
Naomi Bentley plays Anita
Writer Anil Gupta says: "Anita is a no-nonsense sort who has the classic northern 'virtue' of plain-speaking.

"Or she's just rude, depending on your point of view.
听
"She loves Dev but looks on him as an overgrown child. She regards herself as Leigh's best friend and is fiercely protective of that position."
听
Naomi elaborates: "Anita is quite a lot younger than the rest, but sees herself as a bit of a motherly figure.
听
"She's a gossip, likes to be at the centre of things, is competitive of friendship and materialistic, too.
听
"She feels her husband, Dev, is completely incompetent and she is very controlling, quite hard and blunt.
听
"They have a gorgeous little girl, and this is the first time I've played a mum."
