The Kindness of Strangers is a
new two-part psychological thriller for ITV1 starring Julie Graham,
Hermione Norris and Neil Pearson.
Julie Graham (William and Mary,
At Home with the Braithwaites) plays Ellie who, having turned forty, is
unprepared for how different her life becomes after she gives birth to
twins. From being a successful business partner with husband Joe (Neil
Pearson – Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, The Booze Cruise) Ellie
is now struggling to work from home, look after the twins, and deal with
her teenage son. She is not the woman she used to be and her
relationship with Joe is suffering the strain.
Ellie is feeling at an all time
low when a chance meeting changes her life. Fiona (Hermione Norris –
Wire in the Blood, Cold Feet) notices Ellie struggling and takes pity.
It’s the first time Ellie has smiled in a long time. Fiona, whose
husband died five years previously, offers to help out to keep her own
mind busy. This is music to Ellie’s ears – she is gaining a friend
and getting help. Whenever Ellie turns around, Fiona is there. Even Joe
thinks she is a Godsend. |
