Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy about the storyline, Anna admitted that she instantly knew she wanted to bring Jodie to life after reading her backstory, before giving fans a little insight into what they can expect to see from this father/daughter duo.
"Max and Jodie navigate their way through work battling a huge mix of emotions/feelings. There’s so much under the surface that hasn’t been addressed," she teased.
"Deep down she longs for a father figure to look after her, but is her ego too big to let him in? Is she too hurt? Does she know the history of Max and her mum?"

She shared: "I’m very grateful to be working alongside him."
While Anna didn't give away any specific details about how Max and Jodie's storyline unfolds, she teased: "This story for me highlights some very important themes; for example, love, loss, separation, grief, longing & abandonment.
"I think it will resonate with a lot of people! You’ll have to stay tuned to find out how the story of Max and Jodie goes!"
