Was she based on her? 🤔

Seriously. Nobody else sees this?

It was watching her on insta this morning when I had the thought. It just all fell into place 😂

Wow you are right!

33goingon64 · 17/04/2023 22:36

No, not the same person. Clearly. Do you mean they resemble each other? Am I missing something?

It's a phrase commonly used to say that two people are very similar - mannerisms etc. So yes, looks like you're missing something.

Divorcedalongtime · 18/04/2023 15:29

Nope, no resemblance

GiltEdges · 18/04/2023 16:25

I'm lost. They're nothing alike?

WhatWouldHopperDo · 18/04/2023 16:28

Nope -not at all alike as far as I can see

AndyandTeddyarewavinggoodbye · 18/04/2023 17:20

No it's not "actually the same person".

One is Lucy Punch who plays Amanda in Motherland, and the other is (according to your link) somebody called Abigail Ahern.

Why do you think they might be the same person?

merryhouse · 18/04/2023 17:40

They both have long blond hair

Amanda attempted to do a business in the same vein as what Abigail is doing

That's it. They don't speak in the same way at all.

Festivfrenzy · 18/04/2023 19:05

Totally agree- maybe you have to know Motherland to see it. They're exactly the same.

This. The character in Motherland comes over in a very similar way to Abigail Ahern. I do wonder if she was her inspiration.

HaggisBurger · 18/04/2023 19:09

Abigail Ahern is much less glossy than Amanda. But they are both quite annoying I guess

DelphiniumsBlueWildRose · 18/04/2023 19:18

Abigail has a real life, mega successful Hygge Tygge!

Watch her on Insta if you don't believe me 🤷🏼‍♀️

Some people are far more literal than you are Zonder 🤣😊

So I see! 😄

BMW6 · 18/04/2023 21:35

I know nothing of Amanda Ahern.

Or "insta"

Or "Hygge Tygge"

I like Motherland though. 👍

Itakecreaminmycoffee · 18/04/2023 21:39

Abigail Aherne, for those who don't know her, is an interior designer snd basically the Godmother of the "dark aesthetic" (ie. She's the reason people started painting their living rooms black, brown or purple a while back and sticking loads of potted plants everywhere.)

She also has a v successful interiors range (i have one of her lamps!)

I have no idea who the other woman is as I've never watched Motherland.

Zonder · 18/04/2023 22:40

If only you two could combine your knowledge, @BMW6 and @Itakecreaminmycoffee 🤣

PinkArt · 18/04/2023 22:49

They really aren't! As @Itakecreaminmycoffee says, Abigail's aesthetic is very dark and dramatic and Amanda's in 'Higgy Tiggy' is all Kelly Hoppen shades of bland. Amanda is also all glossy swish while Abigail's personal style very much isn't.
Plus one is fictitious!

dryingstuff · 18/04/2023 23:03

They don't really look alike except for the hair

JaneJeffer · 18/04/2023 23:37

Who is she? Who is she?

She looks like a scruffy version. Her insta views will have multiplied tonight. Dying your eyebrows without a mirror is hardcore.

Is this to disguise the truth though?? They couldn't make her exactly the same down to the last detail without causing trouble...
