"I really admire [Daisy's] tenacity and fire, and she's very sharp-witted, and she knows what she wants, and that really drew me to her."

Lucy Halliday, at 22, felt excitement and pressure while watching the pilot of The Testaments alongside Margaret Atwood. Halliday plays Daisy, a rebellious teenager in a dystopian setting. She admires Daisy's tenacity and sharp wit. Although she performed in youth theater, Halliday initially prioritized medicine at university. A chance casting call for the film Blue Jean led her to audition, resulting in a BAFTA win for her role as Lois, a lesbian teenager, which launched her acting career.
