While the second installment of the trilogy is called Your Fault: London, there is plenty of blame to go around, as miscommunication drives Noah (Asha Banks) and Nick (Matthew Broome) further apart and pushes their relationship to the brink. Just when they thought they were stronger and more in love than ever, life tested them with Noah pursuing her studies at Oxford and going to parties with friends while Nick juggled the demands of work and celebrated with a colleague. Small cracks start to fracture into feelings of doubt and jealousy, and Noah and Nick find themselves having to decide whether their love is still worth fighting for.
Co-stars Banks and Broome recently sat down with me to discuss the wild ride of Noah and Nick’s romance in this second installment of their love story, and how fans can rest assured that they’ll get to see more in the already shot Our Fault: London. During the interview, they discussed having fans embrace their Noah and Nick, the challenge of bickering in a car during a race scene, dressing up like a Spice Girl, whether Michael (Joel Nankervis) was manipulating Noah, the fight that turns into a moment of passion, Briar’s (Scarlett Rayner) history with Nick, that moment Nick realizes what happened between Noah and Michael, and the light at the end of the tunnel coming for Noah and Nick in the third film.
‘Your Fault: London’ Stars Asha Banks and Matthew Broome Are Happy That Fans Have Embraced Their Noah and Nick
“We wanted to do the second book and movie as much justice as the first.”
COLLIDER: How has it felt to experience the fan reception to your version of this story? When fans start saying you guys are the best Nick and Noah ever, does that make you more nervous or more excited to hear what they will have to say about this film and about the next film, Our Fault?
MATTHEW BROOME: The fans have their preferred, or they like both, or they like none, or whatever, but it’s nice to know that we have people on our side. At the beginning of the first film, we were coming into a fan base as strangers being like, “Please like us.” It’s nice to be putting something out there for people who really want to receive it.
ASHA BANKS: I think it’s equally daunting and nerve-wracking coming back, knowing that people responded well to the first one. It’s amazing. It’s the best. We’re so lucky that people loved it and that people allowed us to exist with Nicole [Wallace] and Gabriel [Guevara], who did such an amazing job of the characters already. They’ve all been very lovely and very receptive. But you’re so right, that almost made it more nerve-wracking coming back because we had to deliver, and we wanted to do the second book and movie as much justice as the first.
I also feel like this is the movie where some fans are going to get a little upset.
BANKS: Yes. We’re like, “Stay on our side, please! Stay with us!”

Banks and Broome also talk about making Noah and Nick their own and exploring their romance amid the action scenes.
There’s a moment in this film when Nick has to race for Lion, and Noah gets in the car before the race starts. What was it like to shoot that scene, with the two of them bickering while also trying to win the race and being trapped in the car together? What is it like to do all of that in such a confined space?
BANKS: It was so hard. That was the hardest one of the second movie. Like you said, there were so many things at once. With the first film, we’d done a lot of driving but alone in the car with each of us separately. And we’d done a scene in the car, but it was very stable—normal driving around London. And then suddenly we were like, “Oh damn! Now we have to do our racing but together in a scene where we’re bickering and it’s so fast-paced.” It’s so silent when you film. Obviously, our job as actors is to bring stakes but it feels so silly being in a car surrounded by screens while we’re fighting and pretending to race.
BROOME: With the crew shaking the car and spraying water on it.
BANKS: That was really one where we had to hold each other and be like, “We’ve got this. We can do this.”
It looks cool. Even if all that silliness is going on, you would never know.
BANKS: Exactly. The VFX and crew are basically what makes that amazing while we were thinking too much about ourselves.
Asha, how was it to dress up as one of the Spice Girls and figure out exactly what that would look like?
BANKS: Oh my goodness! It was amazing! That was the first thing I did in my fitting when I came in for the second film. They were like, “By the way, you’re going to be Posh Spice.” And they whipped out a wig—a bob—and tried to fit my amount of hair into a wig cap which was quite difficult but it was so much fun. I stopped myself from asking how it was such a fantastic costume for a uni party. I was like, “You know what? This has to be iconic.” I loved it. It was so much fun.
There’s a moment when Michael is talking to Noah about her relationship having to be kept a secret and about Nick’s insecurities. Do you think he’s manipulating her in that moment or do you think he’s just being honest with her?
BANKS: I think Michael was just being honest. Especially in that moment he comes in with his heart on his sleeve. He does fall for Noah in ways. He can see that Nick isn’t being the man he would be for her at that moment. I think he’s being honest. I don’t personally feel like he’s manipulating her but she is in a vulnerable spot going through ups and downs in her relationship which makes it so interesting. There are many questions regarding people’s intent throughout this film.
Asha Banks and Matthew Broome Discuss That ‘Your Fault: London’ Fight That Quickly Turns To Passion
“I love that scene.”
There’s the fight that you guys have at Nick’s place after he shows up at Oxford finds Michael in Noah’s room that ends up getting heated. When Nick tells Noah that she’s his, they go from fighting to undressing each other pretty quickly. How was it to find that shift? What was it like working through that scene because it does get physical too?
BANKS: I love that scene.
BROOME: It’s about releasing tension—it’s like a musical where when words are not enough you start singing. They’re either going to fight or …
BANKS: The other.
BROOME: …the other.
BANKS: We worked so much on that scene regarding how important making that shift felt—it only made sense if their argument reached such intense passion.
BROOME:The bottom line is they just want each other.
BANKS: That’s what they’re saying.
BROOME: They just want each other.
BANKS: It was actually such a fun scene to film.
BROOME: It was.
BANKS: They go through so much so quickly—the stakes are high. “Fame is a Gun,” by Addison Rae plays over this scene in the film while we filmed it.
BROOME: I feel like this was our first heightened intense argument—we talked about how by now Noah and Nick have argued loads—they know how to push each other’s buttons—they know what will annoy each other—so we thought “How do we incorporate this?” They attempt adult conversation before ending up screaming at each other while taking off clothes.
I immediately thought about what might have happened behind-the-scenes whenever someone has to pick someone else up—please just don’t let him drop her!
BANKS: I know! Thank you! I felt safe.
Matthew knowing Briar’s history with him—why do you think he believed her when she tells him Noah has moved on?
BROOME: Because everything he fears is happening—he drives himself insane thinking something will happen if he doesn’t stop it or strays too far—there’s probably some ego involved too—he thinks “I knew it” which stresses him out even more because he feels he let this happen.
The Chaos of ‘Your Fault: London’ Continues To Build Until The Cliffhanger Ending
