Sinchronicity
Jemima Rooper plays Fi
Fi may be Jase's girlfriend, but she's also the love of Nathan's
life. As much as he's tried to hide it, Nathan's fancied the a**e off
her since she and Jase first met (and Nathan made a massive mistake by
telling Jase to go and chat her up instead of going for her himself).

Fi's a down-to-earth
chef, who loves creating in the kitchen, but she's also got a wild
party side – and that's the side that Nathan and his silly, crazy life
appeals to.

Fi says: "Sinchronicity really appealed to me because of the way it was written. I love Nathan's (Paul Chequer) narration – it
leaves the audience gripped, not knowing what to expect the whole time.
Ìý
"I
also felt that the characters were extremely complex but loveable at the
same time. Like all of the other Shine productions I have worked on I knew
it would be beautifully shot and wouldn't let the script down.
Ìý
"Fi, my character, is in her mid twenties, and feeling like she has hit a
bit of a rut in her life, she is a bit discontented about how everything
is shaping up.
Ìý
"She's been in a relationship for about four years
with Jase (Daniel Percival). Though in a very loving and very comfortable
relationship, she feels that it is maybe a little too comfortable and
she has itchy feet.
Ìý
"Fi has always got on with Jase's best mate Nathan
and sees that he represents everything that Jase is not, he's impulsive
and kind of all over the place, unlike good old reliable Jase.
Ìý
"Throughout
the series we see the relationship between Fi and Jase continue
down a rocky path. She loves Jase but things become harder and harder.
It's a situation that is so common with long term relationships;
hopefully people will find it easy to relate to Fi.
Ìý
"Sinchronicity appealed to me because it is the first drama series where
I have played an older woman, not a teenager or girl. I'm also heterosexual
in this one and a female lead - not the comedic side-kick, this also
made a refreshing change."
