‘Scott & Bailey’ star Lesley Sharp on Danny Miller’s character

Posted Filed under

Series 3 of the crime drama is currently airing on Wednesday nights at 9pm on ITV. This week’s episode sees the arrival of Emmerdale star Danny Miller as young, fast-tracked Sergeant Rob Waddington.

Lesley Sharp, who plays, D.C. Janet Scott, teased: “High flyers like Rob need incredibly experienced people like Janet who know exactly how to do the job. So what starts to emerge is this very sweet relationship between the two of them. You suddenly see a different side to Janet, a more light-hearted side.”

She added: “Being Sergeant means more money and responsibility and she is more than capable of doing the job. But it takes away from the time that she can have with her family. And what she really loves is the hands on work of being a detective constable. One of the things you don’t do as a sergeant is interviews – it’s always detective constables. Janet is very gifted and skilled at interviews. It’s one of the things as an actress I really like doing, those interview scenes. Janet is brilliant at leaving her judgement at the door of the interview room.
