Daddy Issues returns for a second series later this month — read all about it!

As announced last year, there’s welcome returns for Daddy Issues as series 2 arrives on the BBC on November 21. Aimee Lou Wood, David Morrissey and others have given their thoughts on the new series in just published interviews.

What can we expect as Daddy Issues returns for series 2

Set in Stockport the new series will see Gemma (Aimee Lou Wood) coming to terms with life as a mum while Malcolm (David Morrissey) is just thrilled to be a grandad. But wherever Malcolm is, Derek (David Fynn) is never too far behind. Good job Gemma can turn to best friend Cherry (Taj Atwal) for advice as well as sister Catherine (Sharon Rooney) and boss Rita (Sarah Hadland). However, a surprise visitor forces Malcolm to confront his past, and Gemma to face her future.

From dating disasters and failed romances through to toxic friendships and messy family dynamics, the show is a big-hearted story about a father and daughter, and the reality of facing up to parenthood – at any stage of life.

What do the cast have to say

Aimee Lou Wood talks about filming with a baby, and how the dramatic end of series 1 has moved her character into a new phase of her life — motherhood. She had this to say on the impact of newborn daughter Sadie:

She’s doesn’t aspire to be a CEO, she’s just pretty content with who she is and where she’s at. But having Sadie and loving her daughter so much ignites this ambition in Gemma that we haven’t really seen in series one.

David Morrissey talks about his character’s side of the same events. Not only is his relationship with his daughter changed with the arrival of his granddaughter, but there’s the minor matter of the return of Gemma’s mother and then his own father arrives.

There are more interviews with the key members of the cast. With the show returning next week we expect a trailer soon. We’ll keep you posted.
