Joanne herself previously opened up about the challenge of filming such emotional and difficult scenes. Chatting to HELLO! and other press ahead of the series launch, she explained: "When I've got do scenes that are very emotional, of which there are many, it is a sort of apprehension that sits with you like the day before or the day of."
The actress continued: "It's partly the apprehension of having to get yourself into that emotional headspace, and partly like 'Oh am I going to be able to get there today?' and all of that stuff. So in certain scenes, I have to just really concentrate and I think everyone knows when I put my ear pods in, that's my zone I just listen to music if I've got to do really emotional stuff."
