Speaking recently about the upcoming drama, actor Danny-Boy Hatchard told Radio Times: "Lee's depression is going to escalate and it's a hard-hitting thing for people to watch. I've had people writing to me saying that the storyline has been unbearable. But that means we're doing our job properly."
