Charlotte has worked on her father\u2019s shows before, but now she is striking out on her own, having created the new series which stars Bilal Hasna and Vivian Oparah<\/a> as two friends, Elliot and Jess who are united in the grief of losing Peter, Elliot\u2019s boyfriend and Jess\u2019s twin brother.<\/p>\n Five years after Peter went missing under mysterious circumstances, the pair find themselves pulled into a situation remarkably similar to Peter\u2019s disappearance, and come to wonder whether he might still be alive.<\/p>\n Hasna and Oparah spoke with RadioTimes.com<\/a> exclusively about the new series, and Hasna explained what fans of Harlan Coben\u2019s series and novels can expect from Charlotte\u2019s show.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cI think Charlotte really shares in her father\u2019s sophisticated, knotty plotlines, that are often quite surprising, and often quite thrilling, and take you by surprise.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I think, whereas Harlan\u2019s stuff feels more naturalistic across the board, I think Charlotte has a slightly different aesthetic, that does have to do with that larger than life, and camp and colourful and hyper-poppy world, and using that world to understand the realism of certain kinds of relationships or certain kinds of emotions.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cSo, I think they\u2019re like a Venn diagram, but they\u2019re both quite different as well.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, speaking on those twists and turns that both the Cobens are known for, Oparah revealed that the cast only received the first three scripts before signing on, meaning that they didn\u2019t know entirely how the central mystery would play out.<\/p> She said: \u201cWe only got the first three episodes, and I actually think that was quite helpful, because there\u2019s so many twists and turns, and trying to map your character\u2019s arc against these twists and turns is impossible.<\/p>\n \u201cAlso, I feel like the circumstances are so rare and there\u2019s a necessity for the immediacy of both their reactions. I didn\u2019t want it to be contrived whatsoever and I\u2019m sure you feel the same. So not knowing what was coming was actually kind of useful.\u201d<\/p>\n Asked whether they were able to guess the twists, Oparah said: \u201cWe guessed, but we were wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Vivian](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/VivianOparahasJessandBilalHasnaasElliot-22f630b.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"Dead")
