Phoebe
Phoebe is the stationmaster’s daughter and has grown up in the village. Her mother died when she was young but instilled in her the values that love and family are of the utmost importance. The highlight of her day is seeing Bert drop the milk off for the Sheffield train, but try as she might, her feelings aren’t quickly reciprocated.
Phoebe Dynevor on Phoebe
"Phoebe is the station master’s daughter. Her mother died some years back and so she has had to become a mother to her two younger brothers whom she adores. Phoebe is very much in love with Bert Middleton, I think he brings back that childish spark that she lost when her mother died and she had to quickly become an adult. She has a very kind soul and she sees the good in people, she’s a lovely character to play.
I couldn’t have asked for a better rolePhoebe Dynevor
"It’s always been my dream to do a period drama and I couldn’t have asked for a better role. I’ve never spent so much time filming outside before which is lovely, especially in the sunshine. It’s also a lot of fun to dress up and your costume really helps you find your character.
"I’ve never played such a big role before, so it’s a challenge and I really wanted to do well. Peter Moffat’s writing is so brilliant and honest so I found it really easy to connect with the character (besides sharing the same name)."
