Then Marianne Mörck and Lill-Babs understood that they were playing a couple in the Bonus Family

It was the characters Gugge and Birgitta's appearance that made Marianne Mörck start to think about their relationship, she says in My Truth. She thought they looked so different, not like two friends who usually borrow clothes and jewelry from each other.

- I asked the director: Why is she here, as a friend? Why do we stand and roll meatballs, she with ten rings and me with working hands? "Nobody you are lesbians!". By then there had been four episodes, says Marianne Mörck.

Hear Marianne Mörck tell about when she and Barbro "Lill-Babs" Svensson understood that their characters were a love couple in the clip above.

Barbro Svensson passed away in 2018, after doing two seasons as Gugge in the Bonus Family.

In My Truth, Marianne Mörck talks to Anna Hedenmo about her own similarities with the character Birgitta, her friendship with "Lill-Babs" and what it was like to live with an alcoholic.
