Ever wondered what happens when big city energy meets historic English charm? CTV Life Channel’s “Queen of the Castle” gives us a fun look at high-end renovation, following socialite Dr. Ann Kaplan Mulholland as she brings her larger-than-life personality to the usually quiet English countryside. Ann and her husband, Dr. Stephen Mulholland, have bought Lympne Castle, a medieval fortress they’re aiming to turn into a luxury destination. But as any homeowner knows, renovations rarely go exactly as planned.
In Episode 6, airing this Wednesday, the Mulhollands are up against the clock. A group of Ann’s friends is arriving at Lympne Castle for a girls’ getaway, and the construction crew is racing to get the guest rooms ready before the suitcases are fully unpacked. Will the castle be ready for its guests, or will the renovation chaos throw a wrench into the fun?
Much of the show’s appeal comes from the contrast between Ann’s outgoing style and the more reserved vibe of her new surroundings. As the Mulhollands tackle the ups and downs of owning a castle – dealing with construction delays and hosting guests with high expectations – Ann also starts getting involved in the local community, striking up some surprising friendships in the lovely town of Hythe.
“Queen of the Castle” continues its eight-episode run this Wednesday, April 30th at 8:00 PM ET on CTV Life Channel.
