Paul Burton's new short film Resentment has now been completed. Starring actress Vicki Michelle ('Allo 'Allo!, Emmerdale) and also featuring her actress daughter, Louise Michelle, Resentment was filmed at Elstree Studios on Sunday 4th October 2009 and Sunday 15th November 2009. This new film marks the first time that both Vicki and Louise have acted together on television.

 

 

Despite making it very clear to her daughter, Jessica Newman (Louise Michelle), and her future son-in-law, Tim Worth, that she does not approve of the impending marriage, Amanda Newman (Vicki Michelle) makes a last minute decision to attend their registry office wedding. However, Amanda's reason for attending the wedding is not to give the couple her belated blessing, but instead to make one last attempt at persuading her daughter not to marry her fiance. But despite all her best efforts, Jessica decides to go through with the wedding. Following the wedding it is left to a mutual friend of both mother and daughter, Melissa Watson (Emma Fletcher), to try and reconcile the two women. The task, however, proves fruitless and later, despite a desperate attempt by Jessica to solve the differences that exist between both her and her mother, Amanda literally closes the door on her relationship with her daughter. It is then that events take a turn for the worse in Jessica's relationship with her new husband which subsequently leads to a fateful outcome.
