She’s an actress, baby! On 26 December, Paramount + dropped its new romantic comedy series, The Road Trip, written and created by Ryan O’Sullivan and Matilda Wnek.
Based on Beth O’Leary’s book of the same name, the show follows Addie (Emma Appleton) and her sister Deb (Isabella Laughland) as they travel from Bristol to Spain to attend a wedding.
However, their epic trip comes to a screeching halt when Addie’s “knackered VW campervan“ is unexpectedly rear-ended by a Porsche “containing her ex, Dylan (Laurie Davidson), and his obnoxious best friend Marcus (David Jonsson).“ The synopsis adds: “Addie and Dylan haven’t spoken since their messy breakup but – headed to the same wedding and with best man Dylan’s ride totalled – Addie agrees to put their differences aside and travel together. “A thousand miles is a long time to be stuck in a campervan with so much buried history though, especially when you’re on your way back to the exact place you first fell in love.
The mystery of Addie and Dylan’s breakup looms large. What really did happen? Why have they had no contact? Who, if anyone, was to blame?
