Adam and Rachael // Coldfeet
Coldfeet marked a great achievement for ITV, the highly popular Comedy-Drama is still one the most iconic shows for the network despite it ending many years ago. Audiences all over the nation tuned into watch the show over its span of 5 memorable series. And I truly believe what made it so charming is the couple, Adam and Rachael, at the centre of it all. Adam, played by the ever-wonderful James Nesbit, brings that charming humour that makes him forgivable for almost anything. Whilst Rachael (who I still fancy to this day), played by Helen Baxter, was flawless – beautiful, intelligent and successful. It was the perfect match.
Now, I often think of the couple as the English version of Ross and Rachael from friends…only way better. Their rollercoaster of a love story draws you in, floods you with tears, brings you a smile and leaves you wondering how you could go about finding your Adam or your own Rachael. The characters of Coldfeet were very much dealing with real problems and love was one of many. I could only ever express joy, admiration, adoration for Adam and Rachael’s love story. It tore me to pieces and put me back together again, if only for another round. Their humour, their drama and connection to reality are why I honestly believe there isn’t a better TV couple and why there never will be.
