Eve to star in BBC One thriller 'The Guest'

The BBC has commissioned The Guest, a brand-new propulsive thriller written, created and executive produced by Matthew Barry and produced by Quay Street Productions for BBC iPlayer and BBC One in a co-commission with BBC Cymru Wales.

Eve Myles and Gabrielle Creevy are cast in the lead roles. Joining them are Sion Daniel Young, Emun Elliott , Bethan Mary- James, Julian Lewis Jones, Joseph Ollman , Clive Russell and Catherine Ayers.

The four part thriller, is an addictive, fast-paced story that centres on the toxic and beguiling relationship between a successful business owner, Fran, and her employee, Ria.

Ria has never had the time or opportunity to think about what she might actually want from the world. So, when she starts cleaning for Fran, she’s intoxicated by this confident and self-assured woman who encourages her to take control of her life and, when Ria flourishes, an intense friendship is forged.

However, when Fran’s advice leads to a shocking event, the lives of these two very different women become intertwined by shared secrets and dangerous plots. What follows is a compelling and manipulative game of cat-and-mouse. But just who is playing who?

Davina Earl and Nicola Shindler are executive producers for Quay Street Productions, with Rebecca Ferguson and Nick Andrews for the BBC, and Matthew Barry serving as writer and executive producer. Ashley Way will direct all four episodes, with Karen Lewis producing. ITV Studios will handle international distribution.

The Guest starts shooting this month in and around Cardiff.
