Siân Brooke on playing Grace
“I asked my father, a retired police officer, for advice before filming. Unlike the police in Northern Ireland, my father never had a gun, and the profession has a very different impact on their home lives. Some PSNI officers must check under their vehicles every morning before leaving for work because they cannot explain to their loved ones what they do. My dad and I never went through that. Grace is brave, persistent, and determined. She is a single mother of a teenage boy and an ex-social worker in her 40s who is leaving all she has ever known behind to change her job, which requires a lot of bravery.”
Richard Dormer on playing Gerry
“Police work is all about compromise. However, Gerry’s past experiences left him unable to compromise, so he has never received a promotion. He doesn’t have any children, and as the series progresses, he begins to feel deeply for Tommy and to view his career in a new light.”
