And with the brilliant Andrea Harkin directing, we couldn\u2019t be happier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Collins added: \u201cSo many authors write with their dream cast in mind, so I was delighted at our table read to discover that ITV and the producers and director had assembled mine! This is an electric cast, and I can\u2019t wait to see their work. Every moment of watching them prepare their performances has been wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spence commented: &#8220;It&#8217;s an absolute honor and dream to bring to life the intelligent, forward-thinking, resilient woman that is Frannie Langton. Her journey truly is extraordinary, and that&#8217;s all thanks to Sara Collins&#8217;s incredible writing of three-dimensional women. I hold Frannie dear to my heart, and I&#8217;m really looking forward to unleashing her with Andrea Harkin and our talented cast.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cookson said: \u201cI\u2019m absolutely thrilled to be joining <em>The Confessions of Frannie Langton<\/em>.
