Screw star Jamie-Lee O’Donnell dishes on season two as the prison drama returns and insists she’d be up for a Derry Girls reunion if there was one - even if it’s far down the line
Actress Jamie-Lee O’Donnell is best known for her hilarious turn as the feisty and foulmouthed Michelle Mallon in Derry Girls. Who could forget how Michelle would mercilessly bully her English cousin, James, flirt with all the local lads and desperately try to make her school friends “cool”?
“I would assume that Lisa [McGee, the creator of Derry Girls] is just taking the time to enjoy what it is we’ve done with the three seasons and I know everybody’s really busy. So if there was a reunion, I think it would be well down the line." “The nature of this series is a lot heavier and a lot more intense than the last,” she reveals. “There are still lighter moments, which is lovely. But in terms of performance as actors, obviously you’re going in with more intensity so you have to stay in those heavier moods for longer.
“It’s still all really fresh and raw with the character,” explains Jamie-Lee. “And because it’s a drama, it starts one way and slowly shifts. There’s a real growth in Rose’s relationship with Leigh, and a lot of twists and turns in it. “What I found interesting is that you start to realise there’s no natural light coming in,” says Jamie-Lee. “That’s a big, big thing for people. Obviously the lights have daytime, nighttime and dusk. But there’s no natural light – you’re in a box inside a bigger box.
