This week on Drama School Dropout I am joined by the amazing Annie Wallace. We chat about British people’s love of chatting about the weather, inspiring and helping bring the character of Hayley Cropper to life, how Hayley brought around a lot of public support for the LGBTQIA+ community at a time when it was needed the most, the terrifying state of UK politics, going to Drama School as a mature student, the problems with Drama School, being told she wasn’t going to work until she was fifty, getting her first professional job on Shameless, doing rude things with Frank Gallagher, losing a BAFTA with Peter Capaldi, working on Hollyoaks, the world of podcasting, coming out as transgender when she got the role on Hollyoaks and having 9000 blocked accounts on Twitter.
