Susan Lynch

Lisa "Liz" Baildon will be played by Susan Lynch, who has also featured in Sky Atlantic's Save Me as pub landlady Stace.
Speaking about her character, the 49-year-old said: “Liz is quite a challenging character, because initially you think she is one thing and then suddenly as time unfolds, you see that she is something entirely different and it is so brilliantly arced."
She added: “It was this mystery of Liz that initially drew me in. She has a highly responsible job which she is exceptionally good at and she is very happily engaged to the love of her life, Janet (Amanda Douge).
"So she has found herself in such a happy place in her life and then suddenly, as this drama does, it unfurls each of the characters and you find out that Liz is not who she seems. I like complex characters, so for me this was a gift of a part.”
The actress has starred in Apple Tree Yard, Happy Valley and Killing Eve.
