NETFLIX series One Day has been breaking hearts since the 14-episode series was released on the streaming service on February 8. 

Based on the 2009 novel by David Nicholls, which was also made into a film in 2011, the series follows Edinburgh University students Emma Morley (Ambika Mod) and Dexter Mayhew (Leo Woodall) as they meet on on the night of their graduation, become friends and eventually fall in love a decade later. 

But did you know the latest adaptation has a connection to Glasgow?

The show's lead writer and executive producer Nicole Taylor grew up in Glasgow and attended Craigholme School in Pollokshields before going to study at Oxford University. 

The award-winning screen writer won a BAFTA for best writer for her three-part BBC series Three Girls about the Rochdale Grooming Scandal, while her feature film Wild Rose, which was set in Glasgow, received three BAFTA Scotland nominations including best writer and best feature film. 

Without giving away any spoilers, viewers of One Day have been left devastated by a twist towards the end of the series, which stays true to the original story. 

One person wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: "I can't believe I thought this would be a cute romcom with a happy ending, my heart hurts so much."

Another said: "This ending has actually broken my heart. Like my chest physically hurts."

A third tweeted: "I have never read One Day or watched the film, so I went into the series not knowing what was coming. God, I am BROKEN."

However, Nicole says she ultimately felt it was necessary to keep the ending the same as the book. 

She told Entertainment Weekly: "I interrogated it fully. I felt that was necessary.

"I didn't feel under any pressure to change the ending or to keep the ending. I just wanted to reinterview it for its place in the piece."

She concluded it was an important piece of the story.

She continued: "Once you pull that out, you better have something just as good, if not better, in terms of the meaning of the piece as a whole and the cosmic enduring nature of love and friendship and how your whole life can be defined by a chance."
