The BBC\u2019s latest drama Chloe<\/a> premiered last night (Sunday 6th February), introducing viewers to Erin Doherty\u2019s Becky, a social-media obsessed woman whose former friend and influencer Chloe (Poppy Gilbert in the Chloe cast<\/a>) dies in mysterious circumstances.<\/p>\n Determined to find out what happened to her ex-best friend, Becky infiltrates Chloe\u2019s high-flying friendship group. The rather unorthodox move is one of the reasons why Becky is such an unlikely heroine, but Chloe writer Alice Seabright still thinks viewers will empathise with her \u2013 to a certain extent.<\/p>\n Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Seabright said: \u201cI don\u2019t know [how people will feel about her]. I\u2019m sure that some people will hate her. Some people will find her irredeemably awful.<\/p>\n \u201cBut for me, I think that her behaviour is \u2013 many aspects of her behaviour I don\u2019t condone. I think she should go to therapy. Don\u2019t infiltrate a group of friends left behind by your teenage friend after she\u2019s died \u2013 that\u2019s a terrible idea. I don\u2019t think any of it is healthy behaviour.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I do think that what\u2019s going on underneath, for me, is something I can really empathise with, and there\u2019s a lot of me in Becky. I would never do those things, but I relate to Becky and I put a lot of myself in her.<\/p>\n \u201cI think almost everyone working on the show, and first and foremost Erin, have put elements in. How are you like Becky, rather than saying how is Becky different to us? And I think that that\u2019s just a way of exploring some of those things.\u201d<\/p> \u00a0<\/p>\n The Sex Education<\/a> writer added: \u201cShe\u2019s desperate to connect, but she\u2019s desperately afraid of being rejected and so she isolates herself. I think that is super relatable, even if how she deals with it isn\u2019t the best, so I\u2019m sure she\u2019ll split people. And I think that\u2019s interesting as well.<\/p>\n \u201cIt raises the question: what can you condone? And what can you not condone? Is it okay to just say \u2018these are the reasons why\u2019? Because the story really does go into why Becky is the way she is. Can we empathise with her? Can we understand? But ultimately, does that mean it\u2019s OK?<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s very much to say you can empathise with someone and you can still hold them accountable for their actions. Hopefully, both things can exist at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n Seabright went on to question whether Becky is the series\u2019 heroine at all. \u201cThere\u2019s that moment when Chloe shouts at her and says, \u2018You think you\u2019re a noble detective, but you\u2019re just a f***king loser creep.\u2019 And it\u2019s like, which is she? It\u2019ll be interesting to see what people think.\u201d<\/p>\n Additional reporting by Abby Robinson.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Chloe continues on Sunday 13th February on BBC One and iPlayer.
