"She’s always been faithful and never looked at another man. But, she was pushed to it!"

"I don’t think she's necessarily been lusting after Kit, I don’t think he’s crossed her radar, she’s probably served him a couple of times in Roy’s Rolls, she’s very loyal, so it’s absolute revenge!"
Viewers will see Kit invite her to his hotel room for a second helping. but is Shona capable of starting a fun blown affair?
Julia certainly thinks so, saying: "Well, I mean have you seen him! Would she have an affair? "I suppose it depends how good that night was!
"I think because it was a revenge, she’s obviously tempted because she goes back to the hotel room so, it must have been a really good night!"

But unfortunately for Shona things don't go quite to plan because on the way home she has an accident and finds herself having to lie to David about what's happened.
Julia explains: "She gets hit by a car and her arm gets broken but David think she’s asleep on the sofa so she’s got to think quick because it’s not until the next day that she wakes up and her arm is still bad."
She elaborates: "She’s not a David character, she’s doesn’t lie off the cuff, because she is genuinely just a nice easy person to be around, unless you cross.
"This is the start of this web of lies that she’s spiralling into. It’s not good for poor Shona."
