Actress Fiona Shaw will never forget that scene, even until her dying day.

Fiona Shaw, a well-known Irish actress, recently shared her experience filming a scene in the popular black comedy Bad Sisters that will stay with her for a lifetime. Throughout her career, Shaw has played a variety of roles, from Shakespearean plays to blockbuster films like the Harry Potter franchise. She has also appeared in hit TV shows such as Killing Eve, Fleabag, and Andor. Now, she is joining the cast of Bad Sisters, created by Sharon Horgan, as the nosy and meddling Angelica, the sister of Grace's neighbor and friend Roger.

The first season of Bad Sisters premiered in 2022 and followed the five Garvey sisters, Eva, Grace, Ursula, Bibi, and Becka, who are caught up in a life insurance investigation after Grace's abusive husband dies. The second season, which started last week, sees the sisters trying to move on with their lives after the death of Grace's husband, only to be faced with another shocking twist when his dismembered father resurfaces and a loved one goes missing.

As the police start to question the sisters' version of events, Angelica also adds to the tension with her relentless pursuit of the truth. In an interview with Metro, Shaw shared how one scene in particular, shot on a boat in the middle of the sea during winter, will stay with her forever. Despite the challenging conditions, she described it as one of the most memorable and enjoyable experiences of her filming career.

While Angelica may seem like she is filling the role of the despised "prick" JP, Shaw believes her character is more complex and not simply a clear villain. She described Angelica as being overly interested and informed, with a touch of loneliness and enthusiasm driving her actions. Despite enjoying playing the character, Shaw joked that she may not want to invite Angelica over for tea.

Shaw also spoke about the increasing opportunities for female-led shows and the appetite for stories of revenge and complex female characters. She noted that there was once a belief that only men could lead TV shows, but now there is a growing recognition of the talent and appeal of female-driven narratives.

Although she has enjoyed her time on TV shows like Killing Eve and Bad Sisters, Shaw has no plans to reprise her role as Aunt Petunia in the upcoming Harry Potter TV adaptation. She joked that it would be confusing for viewers to see her play the same character on screen. However, she is grateful for the opportunities to play meatier roles on the small screen, as she had previously struggled to find such roles in theatre.

Fans can catch Shaw in Bad Sisters, which is now streaming on Apple TV with new episodes released weekly. With her impressive range and talent, it's no wonder Shaw's performance in Bad Sisters will stay with her for years to come.
