The Slap

Series 1 - 4. Connie

Connie
Radio Times
Review by:
David Brown

Where in the previous episode we had the brash bravado of Harry, now the focus is on the uncertainties and contradictions of adolescence as we look into the life of Connie (Sophie Lowe). She’s a typical 17-year-old who’s trying to figure out who she is when, all around, her peers demand she act in a certain way.

Connie’s main preoccupation is that, since the slap, things haven’t been the same with Hector and she wants to find out why. Unfortunately, a confrontation leads to humiliation and the telling of a lie that’s sure to have repercussions in the weeks to come.

However, she eagerly seizes the chance to babysit for the couple, hoping it will enable her to get closer to her older lover - but does not consider the potential repercussions. Drama, starring Sophie Lowe, Jonathan LaPaglia and Sophie Okonedo.
