The 65th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and others), starring Akari Takaishi , was broadcast on December 26th, and viewers were captivated by the performance of Charlotte Kate Fox, who plays Eliza.
In episode 65, Eliza holds Heaven's ( Tommy Bastow) hand and invites him to leave Japan and write a journal about their stay abroad together. However, Heaven doesn't respond, and Eliza makes a "Ah..." expression as if she has realized something, and lets go of Heaven's hand.
When Toki (Takaishi) takes Ginjiro (Kanichiro) to the Hanada Inn, Eliza and Heaven also return. Seeing the interaction between Toki and Heaven, Eliza, who senses the depth of their bond, has a complicated expression on her face.
After leaving the inn, Toki realizes his love for Heaven and sheds tears on the bridge. Ginjiro watches Toki from the inn window. Eliza, who is staying in the next room, comes in and, with tears in her eyes, speaks to Ginjiro in English, saying, "You and I are the same..." Although Ginjiro does not understand English, he senses Eliza's feelings and answers, "Yes..."
Fox's performance, which beautifully portrayed Eliza's feelings, was met with rave reviews on social media, with comments such as, "Charlotte was able to powerfully express the charm and sadness of the character Eliza in just this week. It was fantastic," "Her acting skills were incredible," "Her crying performance was amazing as always," "Her facial expressions speak volumes," and "Her heartbreaking expressions really moved me, I just couldn't get enough." There were also comments such as, "I wonder if Charlotte will make a reappearance," "It's a shame it's only been one week," and "I hope she appears again."
Regarding Fox's return, director Naoki Murahashi of the film previously announced in an interview that "she will appear again in the second half of the story."
