Amy Nuttall plays Carol Crottie
"Writer Clara Salaman summed her up perfectly when she wrote in the script, 'Carol is the mouse that will learn to roar,'" said Nuttall.
What else has Amy Nuttall been in? Nuttall is best known for playing Chloe Atkinson in Emmerdale between 2000 and 2005, and housemaid Ethel Parks in Downton Abbey across series 2 and 3. She began in musical theatre, including an early role in The Phantom of the Opera, and her later screen credits include Hotel Babylon, The Musketeers, Liar and Mr Bates vs The Post Office.
Douglas Henshall plays Robert Barrie
"Robert is a man under constant stress," said Henshall. "He has paranoia to a terrible degree and awful guilt. He is constantly having to check himself for everything he says and does. ‘Am I being consistent with the lies?’
What else has Douglas Henshall been in? The Scottish actor is best known as DI Jimmy Perez in the BBC crime drama Shetland, a role he played from 2013 until stepping away after nearly a decade. He won a BAFTA Scotland award for the role in 2016.
Denise Welch plays Moira Crottie
"Moira loves Carol in the only way that Moira can love somebody," said Welch. "He loves herself first and then she loves her daughter. She would do anything for her. A lot of people have mums like that. There is a little bit of competitiveness and as the series goes on you will see why."
What else has Denise Welch been in? Welch played Natalie Barnes in Coronation Street and Steph Haydock in Waterloo Road, the latter a role she returned to in a recent revival. She is also a familiar panellist on Loose Women.
Kevin Whately plays Silent Dave
"He doesn't have a lot to say but his life onscreen is very rich around the table," said Daniel Evans.
What else has Kevin Whately been in? Whately is one of British television's best-known crime-drama actors, playing Detective Sergeant Robbie Lewis alongside John Thaw in Inspector Morse before leading his own long-running spin-off, Lewis. He was appointed OBE for services to drama.
Lewis Cope plays Kaden Barrie
"I would say that he’s challenged because of his upbringing," said Cope. "Since the departure of their mother their dad Robert has very much shut down. He’s very hard-faced... Kaden has been hardened by his world."
What else has Lewis Cope been in? Cope played Nicky Milligan in Emmerdale from 2022 to 2024, and went on to compete in Strictly Come Dancing. His earlier screen work includes Vera, Doctors and Hetty Feather.
Jenny Walser plays Sally Barrie
"Sally is very multi-layered and complicated," said Walser. "There is a lot going on beneath the surface that sometimes comes to the surface."
What else has Jenny Walser been in? Walser is known to Netflix audiences for playing Tori Spring in Heartstopper.
Shane Zaza plays Daniel Evans
"Daniel is a very warm, driven, passionate guy," said Zaza. "Dan has chosen a difficult partner but if anyone is going to be able to tackle someone like that, it’s Dan. I don’t think that’s a problem for him. It’s a challenge. Kaden is a challenge. A difficult puzzle to solve."
What else has Shane Zaza been in? Zaza is a stage and screen actor whose television credits include Happy Valley and Black Mirror.
James Baxter plays Patrick Tanner
"Patrick Tanner is this Jack-the-lad who does what he wants, plays around and plays with people's emotions," said Cope.
