Silent Witness stars Emilia Fox and David Caves' close bond off screen Having spent more than a decade working together on Silent Witness, Emilia Fox and David Caves have developed a friendship both on and off the screen.
Speaking about the decision to remove the uncertainty around Nikki and Jack’s relationship by making their romance official, Emilia told Radio Times: “If you've worked alongside each other for a decade and they're both single and they clearly enjoy being together, apart from should they get together because they're colleagues, what else is in the way?”.
Now into its 28th series, the hit BBC show is nearing its season finale as Dr Nikki Alexander (Emilia) and Jack Hodgson (David) work against the clock to find a suspect of a shooting.
In a bid to find answers, Nikki headed to Faith’s home where she met her son Josh and the pair shared a tender moment - leading calls for Nikki to experience motherhood herself.
She added: “The producers wanted to put them together and see what would happen, and then we wanted to caretake them into not just being broken up [and in an on-off relationship], but to retain the flavour which the audience has seemed to have enjoyed, which is that they can still have that fun and they can still have that relationship.”.
