Recalling the filming process of the dramatic scenes, Emma revealed it was around 18 pages long and broke the barriers of a typical soap filming.
The mum-of-one said: “It just breaks a few of the boundaries of normal soap filming.
“A normal scene is usually four or five pages and that’s a big scene. This was like 17 or 18 pages, so it’s a continuation and it’s the unravelling.”
“We had a blast filming it,” Lawrence added as Emma admitted: “It was pretty exhausting as well.”
