Annabelle Neilson

"Friendship exists only when there is truth and loyalty."

"When I walk in a room, I think people think, Oh, shit. It's Annabelle."

"He was my brother, my boyfriend, my soulmate. Most of the time people called me Mrs McQueen. Quite often we were sharing a bed. The truth is I was happier with Lee than with anyone else. He asked me to marry him towards the end and I said no. I wish now that I had said yes."

"Annabelle was always slightly a tortured soul, Actually, if I really think back to it, the show was not the right platform for someone like Annabelle, Although you want people who have explosive personalities who maybe cope with life differently, you also don't really want to have people who can't cope with life. She didn't have a coping mechanism when we would all have to talk behind her back, she didn't understand it because she was always the cool girl at school. So something like this was very negative for her and such a very, very negative experience. She couldn't say in her head, 'It's a TV show, It's a TV show.' It's incredibly hard. Somebody like me who went to boarding school and can block stuff out, not deal with my emotions — she could not do that. This was just not a great platform for her."
