Robson Green on Teddy
Robson reveals all about his devious role...
On the surface Teddy is a good, caring, loving individual... but everything isn鈥檛 quite as it seems
"On the surface Teddy Roxton is a very good, caring, loving individual who you think has nothing but positive things to say about life, people and relationships - but everything isn’t quite as it seems and underneath there is an undercurrent of something deeply uncomfortable.
"As individuals we all have a side to us where we will do anything for certain emotions we are experiencing, and one of them is love - and love can send you in very strange directions. It can make you feel euphoric one moment and absolutely traumatised the next, it plays with your mind and your heart and to be reckless with people's hearts is one of the most harmful things to do in life - yet we all have it in us, including Teddy."
While his character is deceitful, Robson explains why he believes audiences may empathise with Teddy:
"The way Teddy behaves affects every single relationship in this story on a massive level, which is amazing to play. He is a pathological liar but his actions are routed in truth and circumstance and everything Teddy does in this series stems from an absolute devotion to love. What he does is so devious, but you understand why he does it, and there will be moments when you really care for him and even feel sorry for him because we have all experienced similar emotions. I hope the audience will squirm watching Teddy because so many people will identify with these situations.
