Asha Banks & Matthew Broome Say The Taboo Of Your Fault: London Is Why It’s So Enticing
Argentine author Mercedes Ron’s Culpa Tuya trilogy has become a phenomenon, so it’s no surprise the Fault: London English adaptations have also taken off. What’s more intriguing is the subject matter: a hot and heavy romance between two stepsiblings at the heart of the films. It’s drawn some criticism for bordering on incest — something Hollywood has a slight obsession with (see The White Lotus, Game of Thrones) — but the saving grace is that stepsiblings Noah (Asha Banks) and Nick (Matthew Broome) only come into each other’s lives as young adults. Still, there’s a fascination with this type of story, whether it’s stepsiblings, a love triangle involving siblings, or other “forbidden love” tropes. Banks tells Refinery29 the obsession with Your Fault: London comes down to viewers being drawn to taboo topics. “People kind of want to see what shouldn’t happen. It’s a tale as old as time,” she says. Co-star Broome agrees and adds, “It’s the double take of that, like, what?! I gotta see that.” Banks notes that as actors, even though when you take a step away from the subject matter and think it’s a bit strange seeing two almost-siblings fall in love, you have to detach from it while getting into character. “We have to sort of find their opinion in it, and of course, they kind of fall in love with each other, and they have to make sense of it in whatever way in their head in order to kind of carry on and to pursue each other,” she says. “They have this kind of undeniable connection and love that’s so deep.” People kind of want to see what shouldn’t happen.

But is there ever a right time to hard-launch a relationship with your stepsibling? Broome and Banks laugh and concede there’s no such thing as a perfect moment. “There’s never a right time. That is the debate, that’s so much of the tension, is that,” Banks declares. “I don’t know if there is ever a time.” Broome agrees and says you just need to rip the band-aid off. “You just have to do it, if you’re gonna do it.” He also jokes that there’s “plenty more fish in the sea”, for most stepsiblings looking to date, but quickly clarifies he doesn’t think Nick and Noah should split. “[They’re] a rare case that should stick together.
