“It’s amazing to work with Jack! We’ve only had one day where we’ve been in at the same time, but there will be more days as it goes on which is a good thing for him on Fridays – he gets a lift there and back.
“I would love a scene together, it would be brilliant. We didn’t get it in Casualty, I feel like when he is filming, she should just walk around in the background.”
On whether Lydia and Jacob’s storylines would overlap, the actress remained coy.
“That depends what side of Jacob we are seeing,” Rebecca started.
“Lydia can be quite feisty and she can hold her own so she wouldn’t take any crap from him. So there might be a mutual respect there.”
The actress then opened up about what is likely to happen between Lydia and Adam Barlow, with whom she shares a secret past.
“At first she doesn’t see trouble. She just recognises him from their uni days – they were together for six months,” she said.
“She sees him and he doesn’t remember her or who she is. It’s not really acceptable, that’s a punch in the gut. Different things happen, she is upset and taken aback.”
