Sephy and Callum play with each other as children, as Callum's mother works as a nanny to Jasmine Hadley. However Meggie loses her job working for the Hadleys when she unknowingly fails to provide an alibi for Jasmine's affair. Callum is one of four noughts admitted to Heathcroft High , the school Sephy attends, but when his dad and brother get involved with a terrorist plot, he is 'temporarily' suspended.
Jasmine Hadley, remembering that she used to be friends with the McGregor family, secretly hires a prominent lawyer called Kelani Adams in order to defend Ryan. Sephy is present during the trial where a videotape of Callum getting her out of the shopping center is played. This is proof of Ryan's involvement as his son apparently knew about the upcoming bombing. Ryan is convicted, although the lawyer succeeds in preventing him from being hanged. However, he's killed by an electric fence while trying to escape.
For those not keen on waiting a week for the latest instalment, viewers can watch the entirety of the series on BBC iPlayer. Warning: This article contains spoilers from Noughts and Crosses season 1. In a bid to protect her, Kamal resigns hiding the fact his daughter has been kidnapped and instead says he wants to focus on his family. When asked if she could be pregnant, Sephy initially denies the possibility but realises she is and when she goes to meet Callum at first wants to tell him until she is kidnapped.
However, when she does tell him when she is locked up, he changes his mind about being in the militia and says he wants to have a future with her and their unborn child. Kamal when faced with Callum is about to shoot him when Sephy tells him about the baby and the pair run off together. Sephy ended up having a baby girl, who she named Callie Rose McGregor in honour of her lost love and the rose garden where they used to meet in secret this place was also not featured in the TV series.
While the show offered a more hopeful and idyllic end for our two main characters, allowing viewers the possibility for a continuation of their love story, we'd also argue that it was much less poignant. Granted, their relationship remained illegal despite their escape and Callum made it clear that if he was ever caught he would be killed, so this alternative narrative hardly allowed them to ride off into the sunset without a care in the world.
But by choosing to reshape the story into a happier ending, it wrongly paints a picture that the 'good guys' or ones you're rooting for always win and that love conquers all — even when entire structures and institutions are stacked against you. During a recent interview with Digital Spy , actor Jack Rowan who plays the role of Callum McGregor revealed that he chose not to read the book before finding out whether he had secured the part, because he didn't want to get too attached.
Although he backed the alterations that were made to the story in its adaptation, which he said were also embraced by the "creator of this world" Malorie Blackman, Jack also spoke of how impactful he found the novel's ending during his first read, particularly with the knowledge that he would be the one bringing the character to life on screen.
I went on that emotional roller coaster with him. And when I finished the book, I remember I was in the car with my grandparents I was so excited to play him, beyond excited. Executive producer Kibwe Tavares explained to Metro. In the eight episodes we were gonna get to the end [of the book], but with six it would have felt like we were going to squeeze too much in, really. Poppy Logo.
