The new show sees Storrie star as Nina, an autistic woman in her 30s whose life is upended when her sister and best friend Evie announces her engagement after only six weeks with her partner.<\/p>\n
Throughout the series, which is also co-created by Matilda Curtis, Nina is left to figure out how she slots into this new chapter in her sister\u2019s life \u2013 but also how she feels about the possibility of not being her sister\u2019s number one person any longer.<\/p>\n
Chatting to RadioTimes.com<\/a> about the new show and its themes, Storrie said: \u201cIt was just sisterhood and that sort of ride-or-die friendship that women can have.<\/p>\n \u201cBut also, it\u2019s a weird subject, and it\u2019s one I\u2019m really fascinated by \u2013 I think it\u2019s maybe just because I don\u2019t get it fully \u2013 but the way people can kind of lose themselves in a relationship. You can lose your friendships in that time.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was so exciting just to prod at that very weird subject and have fun with it.\u201d<\/p>\n Being each other\u2019s right-hand women is most certainly a thread throughout the new comedy, but so too is the theme of living life unmasked, as Nina not only teaches those around her to do, but also the viewer.<\/p>\n When speaking about playing such a character, Storrie said: \u201cNina, as an autistic woman, lives her life unmasked. She just exists without trying to fit in to other people\u2019s lives \u2013 her sister loves her and that kind of unconditional love has given her an environment in which to just be herself.<\/p>\n \u201cTo get to do that without having to put on the million different faces that, as a neurodiverse woman \u2013 but also just as a woman \u2013 that I have to put on every day to get about life, to not have to do that was so liberating.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n As per the synopsis: \u201cForced to reconcile with her sister\u2019s impulsive decision, Nina grapples with what this new challenge means, leading to a surprising journey of self-discovery.\u201d<\/p>\n Dinosaur also stars Kat Ronney as Evie and David Carlyle<\/a> as older brother Bo, as well as Bridgerton<\/a>\u2018s Lorn Macdonald and Roadkill\u2019s Danny Ashok.<\/p>\n The new role marks a significant turn away from Carlyle\u2019s previous big TV role in It\u2019s a Sin, for which he was nominated for a BAFTA.<\/p>\n Speaking about taking on more of a comedic role now, Carlyle also told RadioTimes.com<\/strong>: \u201cBut then, of course, I do It\u2019s a Sin, and I think Gloria\/Gregory had a lot of fun, life, energy and vibrancy in moments of their character \u2013 but equally, the big bit I\u2019m known for is the heart-wrenching stuff and what goes on in his story.\u201d<\/p>\n He added:\u00a0\u201cI was definitely keen to let myself off the leash a bit here and flex those comedy muscles.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Ashley](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/Dinosaur-BBC-AshleyStorrie-KatRooney-97d3318.jpg?quality=90&resize=619%2C413\" "\\"469431,Dinosaur\\"\/")
