Kaya Returns to Television

It was speculated earlier, but Kaya herself has confirmed that she has been cast in a new television serial for BBC One, Love Life, and began filming this week in Margate. Love Life is an improvised series comprised of five stand-alone episodes, each covering a different love-related dilemma, and it will be directed by Dominic Savage.

Love Life will explore five powerful and overlapping love stories set in the same town. Each story looks at a different relationship and explores a different dilemma or situation. When it comes to love and relationships, there is never an easy “right answer” – telling the truth is complicated, and the conflict of desire and responsibility can be explosive.

The stories are life-affirming, visceral, provocative and compelling. Most of all they are universal. The audience will feel as torn by the situations as the characters do, and each story will provoke strong responses: did the characters do the right thing in the end? What would you have done?

Kaya will play a central character in the second story. Her character is Karen, the love interest of her teacher. You can check out the synopsis below:

Story Two: Holly (Billie Piper) is a young unfulfilled teacher who is in an unsatisfactory relationship with a married man. She suddenly finds herself drawn to one of her female pupils. What would happen if she were to act on these feelings?

The series will be broadcast in spring 2012.
