Will Spector And Stella Sleep Together? Gillian Anderson Teases Jamie Dornan Sex Scenes In The Fall

The actress chats series two of the BBC drama

Gillian Anderson has reportedly hinted that her character in hit BBC drama The Fall could be enjoying some saucy sex scenes with Jamie Dornan in series two.

The 45-year-old returns as DSI Stella Gibson for another run of the drama which sees her character tracking smouldering serial killer Paul Spector, played by Fifty Shades of Grey hunk Jamie Dornan.

Filming will take place over four months, with cast and crew sworn to secrecy over shoot locations but Gillian has previously teased that the new six part series will be full of surprises:

“I’ve read the scripts and viewers are going to be so shocked. I can’t give anything away except to tell you to expect the unexpected. You won’t believe what’s going to happen," she revealed earlier this year.

Now, in a new interview with the NY Post, it's reported that Gillian" hints there will be some sex scenes ahead, maybe even one with co-star Jamie Dornan". While the Post piece doesn't elaborate, Gillian does tell the publication of her 31-year-old co-star: “He is the sweetest guy", adding though that she isn't exactly caught up on the Fifty Shades fever that surrounds Jamie: “But I never read ‘50 Shades,’ so I don’t understand the hype!"

Gillian compares her role of icy cool Stella to her other new lead, playing Meg in NBC's drama Crisis which tells the story of a single, high-flying mother whose only child has been kidnapped.

“People hire me to play those roles because they think I am cool — like cool temperature, not like a cool dude,” she admits. “But I like to sit on the floor with my kids and play with Legos,” she says of life with her three children. “I am goofy and silly and warm. I am not someone conscious about my looks, which is probably why I live in London. I haven’t started putting needles in my face. And if I have a period of time I do yoga and meditate. When I’m home I do nothing.”

Gillian has been busy jetting between her home in London with her children to The Fall set in Belfast as well as Chicago, where she shoots Crisis.

The actress admits that shooting in America again has been an adjustment after living and working in the UK for over ten years, where she's starred on the stage and in BBC dramas like Bleak House: “It is less about shooting in America and more about shooting for an American network, which is much more of a machine than you experience in the UK,” she says.

“The networks are struggling and the formats are changing and everybody is trying really hard to find some stuff that is going to stick, and that people want to watch, because everybody wants to binge watch. It is a tricky time,” she says. “There is definitely a feeling in the air of insecurity and wanting things to work. You can feel that on the set.”

With The Fall thiough, Gillian has found a hit with the first series of the drama becoming BBC Two's highest rated debut in nearly ten years when it aired a year ago. We can't wait to see what series two will bring.
