Speaking to The Sun, Suranne revealed the tragic events that inspired the story said: "It's no secret that I've lost both of my parents, so obviously I know grief and that was a huge part of our conversations and what that does to someone.
"It's either going to come or people have experienced it, and this show doesn't deal with it quickly, it deals with it over three episodes, the stages of grief.
"There's humour in it and it's not an easy, straightforward ride. You don't get a blueprint of how you're going to feel.
"Knowing sickness, knowing illness, knowing grief, knowing death was a huge part of it and I think we're both really proud of how that turned out."
