Who is Rosie Molloy?\u00a0<\/strong>Rosie Molloy is addicted to pretty much everything. From alcohol to cocaine and coffee to Terry\u2019s Chocolate Oranges, there are few things on this planet that she hasn\u2019t developed an unhealthy fixation with. Nevertheless, she has been able to hold down a well-paid job and has kept most of her family relationships civil \u2013 that is, until a humiliating incident at her younger brother\u2019s wedding day. The mishap compels Rosie to finally take responsibility and attempt to kick her bad habits.<\/p>\n
Sheridan Smith said: \u201cI think Susan [Nickson, creator] has written her as a strong female character who perhaps grew up through the early noughties. Rosie\u2019s lived through those wild times of laddette culture but is now in the next stage of her life.<\/p>\n
\u201cPerhaps she has not admitted to herself that she has not left these wilder times and vices behind. Rosie has become ill without realising it and because of this, she\u2019s manipulative to the people around her but not in a devious way.\u201d<\/p>\n
What else has Sheridan Smith been in?\u00a0<\/strong>One of the most recognisable faces on British television, Smith\u2019s previous comedy work includes The Royle Family, Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, Gavin & Stacey and Benidorm. More recently, she has focused on dramatic roles in the likes of Cilla, Black Work, Four Lives<\/a> and No Return<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Who is Win Molloy?\u00a0<\/strong>Win is Rosie\u2019s long-suffering mother, who wants the best for Rosie but also has baggage of her own to take care of.<\/p>\n
\u201cWin is the mother of the family, but she is no less daft than the rest of them,\u201d said McLynn. \u201cJust because she\u2019s the mum doesn\u2019t mean she\u2019s any better in a family crisis than anyone else. In fact, we learn that there was a family tragedy, some years beforehand, and Win handled it very badly. They all did.\u201d<\/p>\n
What else has Pauline McLynn been in?\u00a0<\/strong>McLynn became a household name for her hilarious performance in Channel 4 sitcom Father Ted, where she played the clumsy housekeeper Mrs Doyle. She went on to further roles in Jam & Jerusalem, Shameless, GameFace and, most recently, ITV\u2019s Holding<\/a>. On the big screen, she recently had a supporting role in Edgar Wright horror flick Last Night in Soho<\/a>.<\/p>

Who is Conall Molloy?\u00a0<\/strong>Conall is Rosie\u2019s father, with whom she has a very close relationship. However, he has consistently been a bad influence on her, having many bad habits that she has come to adopt.<\/p>\n
Of Conall and Rosie\u2019s relationship, O\u2019Hanlon said: \u201cThey confide in each other. He\u2019s possibly not the best role model in the world for Rosie. He\u2019s got his own issues to deal with but I think his instinct at all times is to have fun. That\u2019s his coping mechanism.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe family has had a trauma in the past and they\u2019ve never dealt with it. His way of dealing with whatever life throws at them, generally, is to drink more. So he never takes anything seriously. Deep down he\u2019s probably in great pain, great psychological pain, but on the surface, he just enjoys life.\u201d<\/p>\n
What else has Ardal O\u2019Hanlon been in?\u00a0<\/strong>O\u2019Hanlon previously starred opposite McLynn in acclaimed sitcom Father Ted, playing dim-witted priest Father Dougal McGuire. He is also known for BBC comedy My Hero, crime drama Death in Paradise<\/a> and Channel 4\u2019s Derry Girls<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Lewis Reeves plays Joey Molloy<\/strong><\/h2>\n $\"""\"$ <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>

Who is Joey Molloy?\u00a0<\/strong>Joey is Rosie\u2019s younger brother, who is the polar opposite of her in many ways. He is completely straight-edged and works as a school teacher, while his recent wedding was \u201cdry\u201d \u2013 meaning no alcohol was to be served.<\/p>\n
\u201cLife is probably going in the way that he wanted it to go,\u201d began Reeves. \u201cHe\u2019s very black and white\u2026 He\u2019s got a good heart and he loves his sister but thinks she\u2019s a mess and is very tired of her behaviour. He\u2019s been through the same things as her, but he doesn\u2019t have an addiction and I think it\u2019s hard for him to understand.\u201d<\/p>\n
What else has Lewis Reeves been in?\u00a0<\/strong>Reeves is probably best known for his role in ITV crime drama Unforgotten<\/a>, where he plays DC Jake Collier. He also appeared in Michaela Coel\u2019s hard-hitting comedy-drama I May Destroy You, playing Arabella\u2019s elusive attacker, David. Recently, he starred in Keeley Hawes thriller The Midwich Cuckoos<\/a> along with having guest spots in Sky\u2019s Brassic<\/a> and Netflix\u2019s The Sandman<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Adelle Leonce plays Ruby<\/strong><\/h2>\n $\"""\"$ <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
SEAC<\/i> <\/span>\n<\/div>\n
Who is Ruby?\u00a0<\/strong>Ruby is Joey\u2019s wife and Rosie\u2019s sister-in-law, who takes a keen (albeit unwelcome) interest in her wellbeing. As the daughter of an addict herself, she feels she has a certain amount of expertise to impart on the subject.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s no stranger to the family dynamic,\u201d said Leonce of her character. \u201cThroughout the years, Rosie and Ruby have formed their own friendship without Joey and have become quite close.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe is always rooting for Rosie in some shape or form. I like to think that Ruby likes all things Lululemon. Queen of healthy living, nutrition, and being in touch with all her chakras.\u201d<\/p>\n
What else has Adelle Leonce been in?\u00a0<\/strong>Leonce is best known for playing Phoebe Taylor in fantasy drama A Discovery of Witches<\/a>, while earlier this year she appeared in Prime Video\u2019s comedy-drama Mammals. Her earlier projects include Shameless, Black Mirror<\/a>, Silent Witness<\/a> and Roadkill<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Oliver Wellington plays Nico<\/strong><\/h2>\n $\"""\"$ <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>
SEAC<\/i> <\/span>\n<\/div>\n
Who is Nico?\u00a0<\/strong>Nico is Rosie\u2019s housemate who usually encourages her impulsive behaviour \u2013 but deep down, he also cares about her wellbeing.<\/p>\n
Wellington said: \u201cNico is like all of my friends and me in one person. You rarely see that or a queer character written so well. He can be quite camp but he\u2019s more than that. He can be funny and nasty and cutting but he\u2019s got a heart to him.\u201d<\/p>\n
What else has Oliver Wellington been in?\u00a0<\/strong>Wellington\u2019s earlier credits include Tracy Beaker spin-off The Dumping Ground, ITV2 sitcom Timewasters and David Mitchell and Robert Webb\u2019s Back<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Leah MacRae plays Monica<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Who is Monica?\u00a0<\/strong>Monica is a clingy and generally oblivious colleague of Rosie\u2019s, who aspires to be just like her \u2013 not knowing the personal struggles that she faces.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s always got something, some drama, or brings light relief to quite a dark scene,\u201d said MacRae. \u201cShe is obsessed with Rosie and models herself on her. Monica is probably one of Rosie\u2019s worst enablers because she will say yes to anything she can do to make her life happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
What else has Leah MacRae been in?\u00a0<\/strong>MacRae previously worked with Sheridan Smith and Susan Nickson on BBC Three sitcom Grownups, while she also played Ellie McLean on Scottish soap opera River City.<\/p>\n
