When the bodies of murdered young men begin to show up across Bristol, detective Jeanette Kilburn must team up with psychotherapist Dr Sophia Craven to find the dangerous serial killer in new thriller The Crow Girl. The impassioned cop and sophisticated therapist don’t get off to the best start, but the same can’t be said of its stars, Welsh actress Eve Myles and Barnsley-born Katherine Kelly. The pair quickly bonded on set over their career ambitions and experience of motherhood.
“We’ve decided that Barnsley and Swansea should be twinned somehow because we have similar childhood references,” says Katherine, who plays Sophia. The 45-year-old, who has daughters Orla, 10, and Rose, eight, with her ex-husband Ryan Clark, continues, “We’re at a similar stage in our lives. We adore our jobs, but we adore being mothers as well and we don’t want to miss any of that. We admit that we’re both workaholics – and I mean that in the most positive way. We do what we love for a living.”.
Eve, who plays Jeanette and has three daughters with her husband Bradley Freegard, adds, “In this field, you work with people all the time and very rarely see them again, but sometimes you find people who you think, ‘I can’t possibly not work with this person ever again,’ and Kate is absolutely one of those. She’s a queen of what she does.”.
Based on Erik Axl Sund’s novel of the same name, The Crow Girl follows detective Jeanette as she hunts down a mysterious killer, whose victims are found beaten and injected with the anaesthetic Lidocaine. Struggling to find evidence, Jeanette asks Sophia – the therapist of a prime suspect – for help with the case as the bodies continue to pile up.
