Maryland is the newest drama offering on ITV1, but many viewers have admitted they were distracted by one element of the emotional three-part drama.
The drama, which follows two sisters who discover their mother had a secret second life, has a star-studded cast led by Suranne Jones and Eve Best. But one cast member is proving particularly distracting to many viewers of the drama.
Maryland: ITV1 viewers ‘distracted’ by cast member with an iconic role
While we all know Maryland star Suranne Jones for her iconic roles such as Karen McDonald in Coronation Street and Doctor Foster, it was another member of the cast who proved distracting for viewers.
Oscar-winning actress Stockard Channing plays Cathy, a close friend of Rosaline and Becca’s mysterious mother. While Stockard has had many starring roles over the years, there is one role she’s best known for – Rizzo in Grease. Stockard played the iconic bad girl in the 1978 musical when she was 33. But many viewers admitted when they looked at the actress, now 79, they could only see Rizzo.
One person wrote: “Anyone else spot Rizzo from Grease in Maryland yet?” Another person added: “Have I just seen Rizzo from Grease on Maryland?” A third person posted the Leonardo Dicaprio pointing meme with the caption: “Everyone when Rizzo appeared on screen.”
