Lolly Adefope, the talented actress who brought Kitty to life on the hit show Ghosts, has recently been making waves in the comedy world with her new series, The Franchise. In a recent interview, Lolly opened up about her experience on Ghosts and whether she would ever consider returning to the beloved show.
Five years ago, Lolly made her debut on the BBC series as the ghost of Kitty, a kind-hearted Georgian noblewoman. Her performance immediately captured the hearts of viewers and now, she is taking on a new role as third assistant director Dag in The Franchise. The show provides a satirical look at the chaos behind the scenes of a superhero movie, with all its narcissistic actors and behind-the-scenes drama.
In a recent interview with Metro, Lolly shared more about her latest role as Dag, her thoughts on the evolution of comedy, and whether she believes the finale of Ghosts truly marked the end of the show. As we approach the one-year anniversary of Ghosts' final episode, Lolly fondly looks back on her time on the show and the impact it had on viewers.
"It's one thing to be a part of something you're proud of and enjoy, but it's even more special when it's reciprocated by the audience," Lolly shared with us. "When Ghosts ended, I was obviously sad, but it's nice that it still endures. I still have people talking to me about it, so it feels like it hasn't really gone away. But it's also nice to finish something and not feel cast out into the world by myself." She also added that being welcomed by a new ensemble on The Franchise has been quite a nice experience.
The final episode of Ghosts left fans in tears and many have wondered if there would ever be a revival of the show, bringing back beloved characters like Kitty. When asked if she would consider reprising her role, Lolly responded, "The ending was quite final in a satisfying way. It's harder to cope with if it's really open-ended, so it's nice to have that finality. But if there was another opportunity, definitely. It was so much fun."
On her latest role as Dag, Lolly shared how she drew inspiration from personal assistants she has met on set, who are always full of positivity and energy. She then flipped their personalities for Dag, who is unapologetically honest and outspoken about her thoughts and feelings. Lolly also spoke to a real third assistant director to understand the day-to-day tasks and the challenges they face, which helped her prepare for the role.
"I have a newfound respect for what's going on in their minds when they're not saying things out loud," Lolly shared. "Before working on The Franchise, I thought I knew all the ins and outs of how a crew works, but we all realized that there's even more to it than we thought."
Before her successful career in television and film, Lolly began her journey in the world of comedy, performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She believes that the comedy scene is evolving in a progressive and cool way, but also acknowledges the struggles that comedians face, such as lack of opportunities and rising costs. However, she remains hopeful and believes that social media has made it easier for people to get into comedy.
As for her future aspirations, Lolly shared, "I'd love to be in a rom-com. I'm open to doing drama and pretty much everything, but a rom-com would be number one for me." And we would love to see it too! The Franchise is now available on Sky and NOW, so be sure to check it out.
