Rebekah Staton has said that she'd "love" to bring back BBC Three's Pulling – the sitcom that launched the careers of Bad Sisters' Sharon Horgan and EastEnders' Tanya Franks.
The comedy, which aired from 2006 until 2009, saw Rebekah, Sharon and Tanya play three friends navigating their messy love lives in London's Hackney.
Rebekah – who now stars in BBC One fraud drama The Following Events Are Based on a Pack of Lies – took on her first comedic role on the sitcom as Louise, a cafe waitress often unlucky in love.
Speaking to OK! , Rebekah said that she would "hands down" return to Pulling if it were to be rebooted – and that it was meant to be a more realistic version of Sex and the City.
"I want Pulling to come back. At the time it was the response to Sex and the City.
"They’re all beautiful and classy and everyone’s so gorgeous and then there was Pulling. We were keeping it real!"
She added that Pulling was the first-ever comedy she starred in.
"I've had some lucky moments but to start on a script like that with Sharon together with Dennis Kelly – every line was a cracker," she said.
"It was great. I think Sharon's a bit busy – they're all a bit busy to be fair but we love the love."
After Pulling came to an end, Sharon found fame with Emmy nominated comedy-drama Catastrophe in which she acted opposite comedian Rob Delaney as well as BBC Two's Motherland.
She recently created and starred in Apple TV+ drama Bad Sisters alongside Anne-Marie Duff,https://www.ok.co.uk/lifestyle/bono-behind-her-eyes-eve-23549717
and Daryl McCormack – and received a TV BAFTA for the hit show.
Meanwhile, Tanya went on to star as Rainie Cross on EastEnders and stayed on the soap for 10 years on-off between 2007 and 2022.
Outside of soaps, she has appeared in New Tricks, Skins, Broadchurch, Chewing Gum, Mum and Silent Witness.
Their Pulling co-star Rebekah is starring in The Following Events Are Based on a Pack of Lies as Alice, a woman who discovers that her husband – who disappeared 15 years prior and left her in financial ruin – is planning to swindle a new woman under a new identity.
Teasing the BBC drama, Rebekah said that she plays "a very normal woman" who sets out to take down the man who conned her.
"She is a lovely person who has had a really awful time at the hands of a terrible relationship that has affected her financially, emotionally and mentally – and she’s got so many questions from the past that need answering."
The Following Events are Based on a Pack of Lies airs on Tuesday 29th August at 9pm on BBC One.
