Career

In April 2016, Hopkins was cast in the BBC Three Doctor Who spin-off Class[2] as April MacLean.[3] Her character April is a student at Coal Hill School, who Hopkins described as "socially awkward", but also "compassionate, kind", and sometimes "extraordinarily brave".[4] April was advertised as the British Buffy.[5] When Hopkins first got to know about the series she only knew that the series would be similar to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She didn't know that it would be a Doctor Who spin off. As she was massive Buffy fan and she loved the description of her character April she decided to audition and got the role.[4][6] During the production of the series Hopkins lived in Cardiff, in the same building as actress Vivian Oparah.[7] Later in 2016 Hopkins played the lead in the horror–thriller Brackenmore, which was set in Ireland. In 2018 Hopkins reprised her role as April MacLean in six audio plays by Big Finish.[8]
