The results are positively rosy!
In fact, Ive done it myself sometimes.
Theyve never met before!

We didnt specifically talk to Diana.
The scene is fairly similar to the book.
It was important for us to get it right.

Weve been looking forward to that scene, seeing Jamie finally meeting his daughter.
We had a lot of discussions with Sam and Sophie about it.
I just love it.
I think hes shocked and overwhelmed and excited and heartbroken.
There are so many emotions that show on Sams face.
He does such an amazing job, as does Sophie.
He struck a perfect tone.
I think it just deepens his love when he sees her in person.
Hes had her in his mind already but I think he falls in love with her all over again.
Remember, they know about each other but theyve never seen each other before.
She loves Jamie but shes still torn and feels loyalty toward Frank.
It will be a really interesting journey for both of them.
