BBC's The Split: Barcelona – from Nicola Walker to Toby Stephens, who’s who in the cast?
Share:
Divorce, drama and messy relationships: the high-powered Sterns are back on our screens once more. The last time we saw Hannah and Nathan, they were attempting to navigate Nathan’s infidelity and Hannah’s attraction to her former boyfriend Christie Carmichael – which ultimately ended with them separating at the end of season three.
Now, the family are reuniting for a wedding in Barcelona, and with Hannah’s family in tow, the results are sure to be explosive. Here’s what to know about who’s playing who. Divorce lawyer Hannah ended the last series of The Split on a cliffhanger when she broke up with her husband Nathan (Stephen Mangan). She also left behind her fair share of heartbreak: she was in love with Christie Carmichael (Barry Atsma), but couldn’t move to New York to join him because of her family.
Nicola Walker, who plays her, has been on screens for years. She played Ruth Evershed in spy drama Spooks, DCI Cassie Stuart in Unforgotten and Annika, in last year’s Scottish crime drama of the same name. She’s appeared in Last Tango In Halifax and has also worked regularly on stage, winning the 2013 Olivier Award for her work on The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
The other half of the Stern power couple. Now separated from Hannah (following an affair that fractured their relationship), Nathan has married his partner, Katie, and has two new children of his own. Mangan’s career spans turns as a comedian, writer, actor and director. He played Guy Secretan in Green Wing, Dan Moody in I’m Alan Partridge and Andrew in Bliss. He’s also a celebrated stage actor, and was nominated for a Tony for playing Norman in the Broadway production of The Norman Conquests.
