'You don't want to watch three couples when it's all okay.'
3 premiere's tragic twist was necessary for the story to move forward, according to writer Abi Morgan.
Riding his bike out on the road, Rudi Dharmalingam's character James Cutler got hit by a car during the opening episode's final minutes, before tragically passing away in hospital. This came after he and wife Rose debated whether they should go ahead with adopting a child, as Rudi was keen to kick on with life as opposed to sitting around waiting for something to happen."I mean, it was so hard actually because Rudi's such a wonderful actor.
"I thought if that's what the audience is left with, then what an amazing gift to have left everybody. So I guess that was the point."But then the other thing is, it's a drama and I've got to f**k it up a bit. You don't want to watch three couples when it's all okay." Following the sadness of the series three premiere, there will also be some lighter moments to follow inThis Morning
