29(?)-year old English actress Estella Daniels [1],[2],[3],[4] did her first nude scene in Da Vinci's Demons [S2E2]
I'd wrongly predicted Estella will get naked in Season 1. Her role did require nudity. I'm liking this nudity-optioned-to-next-season approach by the cablers. Writers doesn't have to insert a nude scene just to fulfill the requirement. They can wait for the opportune moment and in this case, a season. The actors has time to prepare for the inevitability. Estella ripe funbag is worth the wait. It's her first nude scene.
Laura Haddock Topless in Da Vinci's Demons [S2E2]
Laura had the winningest nudity streak of 2013 by - if I remembering correctly - getting naked in five straight episodes of DV'sD [S1]. I don't expect the same fiesta this year though I hoping for a booty shot. Quick flash of now legendary pointy nips.
The Lara Pulver's Conundrum
What the hell is going on with Lara Pulver in regards to the show? She wasn't with the cast on promo run for S2. Zilch on interview front. As someone playing a key role in S2, you would have expected Lara to be at various DV'sD related events/press meet - plugging the show.The most glaring clue that something wasn't right was via her twitter. Nary a mention of the STARZ show from start of this year except for her tweet to Riley. You do expect a main cast to tweet at least about S2 premiere. I have to go back to September for Lara's posting on DV'sD when she was filming S2.
It's obvious something happened along the way that created a friction between her and perhaps Goyer/cast/crew. Lara is quite outspoken and her distaste for nudity came through loud and clear during S1 pre-and-post interviews. She tried to wriggle out of her nudity duty in S2 only for Goyer to put his foot down? STARZ is no HBO though. The clout isn't there yet for them to go it's-my-way-or-the-highway with established actors. Lara somehow managed to extract an ironclad nudity clause. She agreed to show off both breasts for few seconds and that's it.
Also keep in mind that Goyer wasn't around the set regularly what with his commitments to other States-based film/TV projects, leaving someone else in charge. It may well have nothing to do with nudity. Lara could have had a fall-out with the other cast members.
But it's still unprofessional of Lara to post endlessly about SKY' Fleming, excited to work with Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow and crushing on SHERLOCK while being hardly bothered about DV'sD. I won't be surprised if her character is killed off in S2.
