Zoë stars as Hannah in a new one-off pilot of a comedy drama written by acclaimed writer Mike Bullen (Cold Feet, Life Begins) called Reunited.

Six former friends, who went their separate ways after university, reunite eight years later. Hannah returns to London when she learns her old flame Martin is getting married, but the group soon realises the distant past may not be so remote as imagined. Now, eight years later, they meet up again when one of them, Hannah (Zoe Tapper) gets sacked from her job in Tokyo and decides to return to the UK  to hook up with the old gang.

It’s not just her old girlfriends that she’s interested in catching up with, though. She’s found out that her ex, Martin (Joseph Millson) is getting engaged and wants to see if the old flame is still flickering.

There is a real touch of the femme fatales about Hannah who was responsible for breaking up this happy band by sleeping with Martin’s best mate, Rob (played by Ed Byrne).

Eight years later, every man she meets is still looking at Hannah like she’s made of chocolate, although Martin’s fiancée Sophie (Jemima Rooper) is uncharacteristically slow to spot Hannah as the threat she so obviously is. For another lonely housemate, the reunion is the best thing that’s happened to her in eight years, although as her more cynical sister points out: “Don’t say you lost touch. Friends don’t lose touch.”

Reunited also stars Joseph Millson, Emma Stansfield and Ed Byrne.

This pilot episode aired on BBC1 on Wednesday 30th June 2010 at 9pm and was 1 hour long.
