Lucy has played a multitude of roles across so many genres including DS Stevie Moss in The Bill and Bec Baker—Peter Kay’s wife—in his BBC sitcom Cradle to the Grave as well as countless other fantastic characters in a career that demonstrates her great versatility. She brings a blend of warmth, wit, and emotional intelligence to every role she plays, and—as you’ll hear—she’s deeply thoughtful about the human experience behind the craft.In this conversation, Lucy opens up about what it was like working with the legendary Julie Walters, how being an empath has shaped her both personally and professionally, and her hopes for leaving a legacy that changes the way we understand and respond to bullying in everyday life.This ep also features two soap-related sketches for your entertainment, and a soapy chat which includes what might be the next iconic characters to prop up the bar in The Bull in Ambridge!Limited Time Only – a pick-me-up in podcast form.If you enjoy the show, please follow or subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, leave us a quick review, and share this episode with someone who could use a pick-me-up.Instagram @limitedtimeonlypodcastFacebook Limited Time Only PodcastEmail: [email protected] LTO is created & written by, produced, edited & hosted by:SUSIE RIDDELL & ESTHER STANFORDIt is a Limited Time Only Production LOGO designed by:IAN STANFORDTHEME TUNE composed by:JOEL WHITEADDITIONAL SOUND:https://freesound.orgSee Limited Time Only LIVE in London this July.
