Brassic’s Michelle Keegan on “unspoken” Erin and Vinnie connection
The star says "there's an undercurrent of love and respect" between the two characters.
Michelle Keegan has talked about an "unspoken" connection between her character Erin and Joe Gilgun's Vinnie in the fifth season of Brassic – which has recently launched on Sky Max and NOW.
The former Coronation Street and Our Girl star explained that there has always been "something going on between them" and that that was no different in the new season.

"I think there's an undercurrent of love and respect," she said. "I think for Erin, her head is where it's always been. She thinks of Tyler, she's thinking of the future. She doesn't want to be in the world that is Vinnie and Hawley because she wants a better life for herself and Tyler."
She added that Vinnie was less able to change his way of life "because it's always been a part of him" and that he never thought that he would end up being a family man.

"So for them, it's very much similar to how it has been from day one," she continued. "But I think there is genuine love there between them. I think the man that she wants him to be, he's already there, it's him. They're sort of made for each other but there's some things in their life that they can't change."
She concluded that as much as fans might be calling for them to get together – and as much as the characters themselves might want it – their relationship "would never work".
"There's always something they know won’t work long term," she said.
