Why my lovely husband calls me ‘NIGHTMARE!’
‘I love female characters who are vibrant and sexy’
She may appear one of the loveliest, most upbeat people on television, but actress Amanda Redman says her husband has a slightly less affectionate nickname for her.
‘Damian [Schnabel] calls me “Nightmare”,’ laughs the 62-year-old. ‘He will speak to me like it’s a term of endearment. He’ll say, “Nightmare, can you get me a cup of tea?” He’s done that for years!’
Explaining the reason, she laughs, ‘It’s because I can be dramatic. I’m a bit all or nothing. Lydia [her character] and I have that in common.’
