Love Actually
Mia (Heike Makatsch) is a demon the same way Rufus (Rowan Atkinson) is an angel.
- The part where she dresses up in a sexy devil costume is kind of a give away, especially since it is almost definitely not a fancy dress party. Also the fact that she makes Alan Rickman's character buy her a gift, a gift which doesn't really mean anything to her, but which she wants instead for what it symbolizes and leads to more than the rather ugly necklace itself. This is also the only story line that seems to end decidedly negatively and the one where Rufus does his best to intervene. For all we know the movie is actually a supernatural battle between good and evil with the characters just pawns in their game.
The guy working at the department store is a Blackadder.
- This particular Blackadder is hilariously sick of his job and enjoys trolling customers on a daily basis by doing things like taking ridiculous amounts of time wrapping gifts.
John is John Watson from Sherlock.
- They're both Johns played by Martin Freeman, obviously. Here, John is a medical student who is working as a nude film stand-in in order to pay for his tuition fees. The seven-year gap between Love Actually and Sherlock allows for plenty of time for him to qualify as a doctor, join the Army and serve in Afghanistan.
Sarah and Wendy Byrde are the same person.
- Both are played by Laura Linney and have a brother with a few ... issues.
- After the events of Love Actually, she moved back to the States in order to get over her non-starter of a relationship with Karl. She got a job in political PR, met Marty and started a family — becoming a Manipulative Bitch and Mama Bear in the process.
Red Nose Day Actually
Sam will propose to Joanna.
- Confirmed, or more accurately Joanna asks Daniel for Sam's hand in marriage.
There will be a tribute for the late Alan Rickman on the 10-minute sequel
- Alan Rickman's character, Harry, being The Character Died with Him, similar to the Gilmore Girls revival. Karen would have to deal with her husband's death and then, Daniel would help her overcome her loss which is a Call-Back to how she helped him with his wife's death in the movie. Her brother, David, would also help out.
- Since the writer said that Harry and Karen are still together at the end of film, they ended up divorced during the Time Skip. It will be mentioned that Harry is doing some soul searching, probably traveling around the world. He may not be with someone else at this time but he and Karen remained Amicable Exes.
- Alternatively, Harry and Karen are still together but they were able to work out with their problems and remained together. If Emma Thompson is unable to reprise her role, they will be mentioned by David or Daniel that they're retired somewhere else.
- All of the above is jossed — Harry and Karen don't appear in the sequel, or aren't even mentioned, so we don't know anything about their fate.
