“In case anyone is under any illusions, I just want to stress what a beautiful man Nick Day is, in real life.” She emphasized the challenges Nick faced portraying such a complex character and highlighted the trust and collaboration required during their scenes together. Beth urged fans to remember that actors are distinct from the characters they portray, stating: “If you see him in the street, please remember he’s NOT Anthony.” citeturn0news11
