Sam Heughan fans are counting down the days until his new show The Couple Next Door hits screens. Sam appears alongside former Poldark actress Eleanor Tomlinson, Pennyworth's Jessica De Gouw and How To Get Away With Murder's Alfred Enoch.
The Scots star, 43, plays police officer Danny, married to De Gouw’s character, a yoga teacher called Becka. They strike up a friendship with Tomlinson and Enoch’s Evie and Pete, who have moved to their neighbourhood in suburban Leeds.The six-part psychological thriller explores the claustrophobic feel of suburbia and the troubles of giving in to romantic desires - and it looks to be rather raunchy, judging by one of the steamy snaps that the Outlander star shared on social media.Posting a picture of him holding Eleanor in his arms as rain pounds down on the pair, Sam’s loyal fleet of fans were all in agreement that they’re looking forward to catching him in a new role.
And most of them gave it the seal of approval by likening the show to smash hit weepy romantic drama The Notebook, starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdam.
Sam shared the snap to Instagram with the caption: ““The Couple Next Door” bringing the heat to @channel4 Monday 27th…. @happyduckfilms @eagleeyedrama.” Jess_ica_9012 said: “Why does this look like a Notebook knockoff.” Ktbail21 added: “thought this was the scene from The Notebook for a second.” Camillecorrado said: “Well helloooo The Notebook 2.0.” Join the Daily Record's WhatsApp community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages.
