In an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Derry Girls stars Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Erin) and Jamie-Lee O\u2019Donnell (Michelle) spoke about the likelihood of the show\u2019s characters returning to our screens later down the line.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve always been curious about the idea of playing Erin at an older age,\u201d Jackson said.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Erin is extremely spoiled and extremely sheltered by her parents and I think that even the relationship that she has with Orla (Louisa Harland) she takes for granted a lot of the time.\u201d<\/p>\n She added that she\u2019d be \u201cquite curious\u201d to see how Erin would be affected when the friendship group goes their separate ways.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen she\u2019s lost that innocence and she knows that truth and that heart that Orla gives her, she loses the direction that Michelle gives her at all times to stick up for herself, or the sense of reason that Claire gives her if she\u2019s had a bit of time away,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat would that be like? What would that journey look like, coming back and revisiting them?\u201d<\/p>\n O\u2019Donnell also said that she\u2019d be interested to find out where Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee would take all the characters.<\/p> \u201cBecause of how layered we all are as the characters, the possibilities are endless for us and I love that about us,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cI love that it\u2019s a bunch of girls from working class backgrounds that were created in a way and performed in a way that if we sat down in 10 years, you could sit there all day and you can make things work and that seemed really exciting. And goes back to the theme of it being hope.\u201d<\/p>\n The new season will see the Derry Girls go through some tough times, with Orla star Louisa Harland telling RadioTimes.com<\/strong> in a previous interview that they\u2019ll be facing \u201csome difficult moments<\/a>\u201d in the upcoming episodes.<\/p>\n Additional reporting by Abby Robinson.<\/em><\/p>\n Derry Girls season 3 airs on Channel 4 at 9:15pm on Tuesday 12th April, and will be available on\u00a0All 4<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Looking for something else to watch?
