Advertisment

Emma Bing is one of the stars from the new movie of Love Actually. She plays Lisa, a young single mother who moves in with her sister and cousin in New York City after her first pregnancy. While taking care of her young twins, she slowly starts to realize that she has feelings for her cousin who just happens to live across the street. When her husband leaves her, she takes the chance on her own to date Daniel, while also hoping to get pregnant again so that she can finally have her much-dreamed second child.

The relationship progresses smoothly until one night, as Anna is lying in bed trying to sleep, Daniel barges in. Instead of telling his lie to her as he walks out, he asks her if she remembers what she had for breakfast last week. Although this doesn’t really sound all that bad on the surface, when she gets up the next morning, she’s totally shocked and overjoyed at the thought that she just had sex with her boyfriend’s best friend.

Since getting engaged and planning a wedding is both a huge responsibility for her and Daniel, what Emma does not expect when you are expecting is that she will be suffering from major guilt and regret over what she did the night before. Fortunately, there is a way for her to feel better about herself, so that she can be happy for her child even though she still has feelings for Daniel. Through counseling, Emma slowly comes to terms with what happened between her and Daniel while she was pregnant, but the road to healing will take some time. Whether she chooses to keep her name or not, will also be something that she deals with throughout her marriage.
