Annabel Scholey is a talented actress who has not only played a divorce lawyer on her hit show The Split, but has also gone through her own divorce in real life. She is passionate about showing that breakups don't have to be messy, and this theme is a major driving force in her show. As she navigates her own beautiful divorce, Annabel is determined to spread this message to others.
Fans of The Split will be excited to know that the show is coming back for a two-part special set in Barcelona. After a two-year hiatus, the show is returning with even more drama and complex relationships. This time, the focus is on formidable family lawyer Hannah Defoe and her ex-husband Nathan Stern as they attend a family wedding together. Annabel is reprising her role as Nina Defoe, who is also facing her own romantic issues.
During the break from filming, Annabel went through some significant changes in her personal life. After six years of marriage, she divorced her fellow actor Ciarán McMenamin in 2023. The couple now co-parent their five-year-old daughter, Marnie. As a divorcee herself, Annabel understands that every couple's story is unique and that there are many ways to end a relationship. Divorce can be messy, sad, or even happy if both parties are ready for it. The Split showcases the beauty in breakups, a refreshing perspective that will continue in the upcoming episodes.
In an interview, Annabel shared that the imperfections of humanity and relationships have always been the core of The Split. The latest series explores the idea that divorce can be beautiful in its own imperfect way, and it doesn't always have to end in a total train wreck. As someone who has gone through a divorce, Annabel knows that real life can be more complicated. However, she believes that if both parties put their child first, it is possible to have an amicable split. It may be full of drama, but as long as the focus is in the right place, it can be a smooth transition.
The show's popularity is a testament to its relatable themes, with an average of over 6 million viewers and 19 million streams for the second series. When Annabel was asked to return for the spin-off, it was a no-brainer for her. She is open to the possibility of continuing the Defoe family's story even though the official line is that the Barcelona special will be the end. She believes that if a show is entertaining and people genuinely love it, there's no reason not to keep it going. Annabel is certain that the rest of the core cast would also be up for a return.
Annabel's admiration for her character, Nina, goes beyond it being her big break in the industry. She loves the complexity of Nina, who doesn't always make the wisest decisions or do what is expected of her. She's the life of the party and falls in love with the wrong people, but she also has a heart of gold as a single parent. Annabel is grateful for the opportunity to play a multifaceted, sometimes messy, and realistic woman, something that was not always available to women in the past.
Annabel has been keeping busy with other projects, including the second season of Rivals on Disney Plus, where she plays Beattie Johnson. Although her cameo is brief, she sets the tone for the series by having a steamy encounter with Rupert Campbell Black in an aeroplane toilet. Annabel admits that she's done many similar scenes in the past, but it was still nerve-wracking to film the very first scene. However, her co-star, Alex, was a gentleman and made her feel comfortable. She is excited about the potential for her character to return in the second season and spread some chaos.
The Split: Barcelona will air on December 29 and 30 at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer. Annabel is thrilled to be back on the show that has been a significant part of her career, and she hopes that viewers will indulge in the drama with a box of chocolates during the holiday season.
