6 THINGS YOU REALLY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT LOVE ACTUALLY

I don't know about you, but I watched Love Actually again this weekend. Yep, that was the 87th time. And it's being replayed at Christmas. I know every scene by heart and every time I wonder a thousand things.

Whether things really worked out between Sarah (you know, the one with the annoying ringtone) and Karl (the one with the too toned body for the role, but okay) and whether things are still really good between Karen and Harry. And now suddenly the screenwriter Emma Freud treated us to a lot of answers.

How did it come to this? The film was shown in a cinema again after thirteen years, and the screenwriter thought it was a nice moment to answer all the questions. She did this via Twitter and I’m sharing the most important ones with you.

1. Sarah and Karl never made it

You remember Sarah, right? Sarah who was in love with Karl for two years, seven months, three days and I suppose an hour and 30 minutes. That sweet woman who no longer has parents and therefore feels it is her duty to answer every phone call from her brother in the nursing home. Even if it costs her a steamy session with Karl. Unfortunately, Emma had little good news for us. Karl and Sarah... They never managed to get together.

2. Are Karen and Harry still together?

The film ends with Karen waiting for Harry at Heathrow and giving him a somewhat distant kiss. They are together. But do they stay that way? Yep, says Emma. They stay together, although it’s never as warm and cozy as it once was.

This immediately raises the question of whether Harry really cheated or if it just stayed at dancing too closely together at the Christmas party.

But we get a reality check from Emma. Of course, he cheated. Big time. What did you think?

3. That girl who imitates Mariah Carey, does she really sing?

Yes, she does. Now we like her even more and understand that sweetest little boy even better.

4. Just about Hugh's housekeeper

That is actually Emma's own mother. I would do the same if I were the screenwriter and my husband the director. Then you bring in your own loved ones.

5. And just about the second lobster

That was the screenwriter's child. She had the honor of being cast as the second lobster in the nativity play.

6. You won't believe this either

Emma's husband is the director of the film; Richard Curtis. He saw the film at the premiere in 2013. And then never again until last week when it was playing in a cinema in New York. Can you imagine? You make the best Christmas movie ever and you never watch it again.

Why not? That is the question I am going to ask Emma Freud during her next Twitter session.
