This is sure to bring a whole new dynamic to the show for the new season, particularly as the actress has teased that Jessie and Sanjeev Bhaskar\u2019s Sunny might not get on particularly well at first.<\/p>\n
Keenan recently said of their partnership: \u201cWhen they meet, it is loggerheads. It\u2019s passive aggressive, jibes, in a way it\u2019s jostling for position.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not until episode four, once the shock of her news dissipates a bit, that she really tries to get herself together. And we hope they can start working together as opposed to beside each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Which means it takes a while for them to gel\u201d.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Keenan continued: \u201cVery quickly you find out a certain amount or a certain aspect of her backstory, which knocks her off-kilter a bit. By all accounts, she was very successful in her other job. So, she\u2019s very competent and good at her job, until this thing happens. And then she comes into this team who are grieving, obviously.\u201d<\/p> Meanwhile, the series\u2019 showrunner Chris Lang added while on set that Jessie is \u201cin a very different place to Cassie, because Cassie was on something of a descent, both emotionally, but also in terms of her career\u201d.<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cShe was at an age where she\u2019d done it for 30 years, and she\u2019d had enough. And I always thought that was a really interesting dynamic \u2013 to have a hero cop who didn\u2019t want to do the job anymore.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd Jessie is just completely the opposite. She\u2019s absolutely at the peak of her powers. I think this is her first job as a DCI, and she\u2019s got a lot of energy. And she\u2019s very different to Cassie. The relationship between her and Sunny will be very different.\u201d<\/p>
