There can't be too many women who are happy to help create a comedy series loosely based on their own marital troubles. Even fewer who'd be keen to do it alongside their husband, and also agree to be the lead actress.
But Casey Wilson, who's best known for her roles in TV series Happy Endings, and hit film Gone Girl, has clearly embraced the opportunity in new sitcom Marry Me.
The actress-comedian-writer is happily married to David Caspe - the creator of Happy Endings and Marry Me, but the pair found plenty of inspiration in their occasionally bumpy road down the aisle, for the new series. It began in last week's first episode, with Annie (Wilson) losing the plot when she arrived home after a holiday with long-time boyfriend Jake (played by Ken Marino), and he still hadn't proposed. Except Jake was about to propose and there's a house full of friends and family waiting to surprise Annie - when she lets loose with a barrage of insults about them all.
"I think moving forward, Annie is maybe not as unlikeable as she is in that first episode," Wilson laughs. "But it's just such a funny idea that after six years of waiting to be engaged someone would finally snap and just go off the rails completely and badmouth everyone, only to find that they're hiding, waiting to pop out and surprise her."
