WATCH: Are you looking forward to season three?
"There are real heartfelt moments that happen between James and Helen that only happen when they're in the bedsitter on their own, and as the season progresses there are some things that are really tough for them to discuss and make them both feel really vulnerable," she told RadioTimes.com.
"Being able to do that in their own environment in the bedsitter sort of peeled off another layer, I think."
James and Helen became engaged at the end of season two and while many fans suspected that a Christmas wedding would occur in the festive special at the end of last year, they are having to wait until the new series to see the two unite in marriage.

"Not only is it everything that you would hope it would be - romantic and touching in points as well - but it's also very funny. It's a really funny, funny script as well."

The official synopsis reads: "Series three begins in spring 1939. Some big changes are happening at Skeldale and everyone has to learn how to adjust. James enters into a new stage of his life with Helen and at the practice, where Tristan is now also a qualified vet.
