Channel 5's Little Disasters is set to air its final episode this week, and EastEnders star Jo Joyner has shared a glimpse behind the scenes of the gripping drama. The six-episode series chronicles four friends who have been close for ten years, but their bond faces its ultimate test when a single incident transforms everything.
Plot and Cast
When Jess (Diane Kruger) brings her infant daughter to hospital with an unexplained head injury, her longtime friend and A&E doctor Liz (Jo Joyner) is compelled to contact social services. This triggers a catastrophic sequence of events as the strains of motherhood, hidden truths and remorse are examined. The central mystery persists: what actually caused the baby's injury?
The concluding instalment of the drama is scheduled to broadcast this week, with revelations that could completely shatter the friendship group, according to the Express. The cast also includes Bridgerton's Shelley Conn and The Office's Patrick Baladi.
Behind-the-Scenes Photos
Last year, actress Jo posted behind-the-scenes photographs from her time filming the show alongside co-stars wearing prosthetic pregnancy bumps in a flashback sequence. Another image captured Jo wearing a pink wig, which was donned by Emily Taaffe in one episode. Additional photographs featured the cast relaxing during breaks, sharing meals, and enjoying games.
Jo wrote beneath the post: "What I did last summer...! After three months in Malta, I had two weeks at home before heading off to Budapest to film the first half of #littledisasters an adaptation of the gripping novel by @svaughanauthor. It was just long enough for me to change my hair from blonde to dark brown with the help of Tracy @westgate_salon & @racoonintl."
Filming Experiences
She continued: "Filming in 38 degrees in the bustling city surrounded by a wealth of talent. Sitting next to a beautiful and talented Chanel model every morning in makeup, whilst having broken veins and dark circles painted on me, did nothing for my ego. But getting to play the down-to-earth, capable and witty Liz more than made up for it. Blessed to have spent the hours off set having great meals, hikes and conversation, and not to forget, crosswords- with the best of cast mates, glad and grateful for the visits from friends and family @n1cky00."
She added: "Yes, we did all try the pink wig on! Choosing baby bumps is harder than you'd think. After spending the first half of the year away, it was a joy to come home and film the remainder in Richmond last summer."
Little Disasters is available to watch on Channel 5.
