The mini-series, based on the novel of the same name by Sarah Vaughan, centres around the trial itself, but actor Naomi Scott (below) has just revealed that there was actually a pretty big scene focused on her character Olivia Lytton, which didn’t make the final cut. Netflix Scott plays parliamentary researcher Olivia Lytton, who accuses MP James Whitehouse of rape in the series. Speaking to the Radio Times, she revealed that scenes showing Olivia’s life after the trial were filmed but then cut, with Scott saying she felt it was more fitting for the story to keep the rest of Olivia’s life out of the script. She told the publication, ‘What I love about this show is it kind of puts the audience in the seat of the jury. I think that’s really effective because ultimately, if you are a member of the jury, you’re dealing with these fragments of memory, which I think makes these cases really hard to prosecute.’ Scott then shared details on the deleted scene, saying, ‘We did actually shoot something, Olivia after everything, but it didn’t feel right. It didn’t feel like it did the character justice, to tie it off with a bow.’ The actor went on, ‘I actually think it’s more powerful to just allow people to go, “Wow, what happened to her”’ And a lot of the time these types of victims are forgotten, so I think it’s really fitting.’ Anatomy of a Scandal is streaming on Netflix now.
