OHMYGOSSIP — Rose Ayling-Ellis will take on the leading role in a new crime drama.
According to Deadline, the former ‘EastEnders’ actress, 29, is to star in a TV adaptation of the first ‘Tuva Moodyson’ novel by Will Dean, ‘Dark Pines’, which follows a deaf journalist attempting to solve mysterious murders in an isolated Swedish town
She said: “As soon as I read Charlotte’s scripts and then dived further into Will’s books, I just knew this was a role I wanted to play and a world I wanted to explore.”
The series, which is being helmed by the studio behind ‘Death in Paradise’, Red Planet Pictures, will also see her act as an executive producer alongside Belinda Campbell, Caroline Skinner and the show’s writer, Charlotte Jones.
As well as ‘Dine Pines’, the former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star revealed last year that she was working on a comedy-drama that centred around the London dating life of a deaf women.
She told Deadline: “This is something that hasn’t been spoken about. We hear a lot about being female and how women appear in the dating scene but as a deaf woman, it’s a very different experience. It will be nice to share that story.”
The TV star is also set to supervise a disabled writers’ room for the project, but has insisted that she will not be the sole writer, as she is currently “engaging with some exciting writers” to ensure the show stays as relatable and honest as possible.
She continued: “There are so many different people in the show and I can’t speak on behalf of their experiences so I wanted a team that could put it all together. I won’t exactly be going to the countryside to spend months writing this.”
Rose is also due to appear in ITV’s upcoming ‘Code of Silence, where she will play a deaf catering worker, Alison Woods, who is struggling to make ends meets while supporting her deaf mum, Julie.
She said: “I am so thrilled to be coming on board for Code of Silence and to get to work with the incredible team at Mammoth Screen.”
