Lesley Sharp hints at ‘Scott & Bailey’ returnee details

Posted Filed under

Starring Sharp alongside Suranne Jones (Coronation Street), the police drama returns to ITV1 at 9pm on Monday 12th March with eight new episodes.

Teasing the return of Kevin Doyle as Geoff Hastings, the family friend who stabbed her character Janet in Series 1 after he was revealed to be the killer she had dedicated herself to tracking down, Sharp comments: “It’s a real psychological game of cat and mouse and for a while it looks as if Geoff has got the upper hand. There’s a lot at stake in those scenes because he almost took her life away.”

She adds: “I love working with Kevin Doyle. He’s an amazing actor and was fantastic as Geoff in the first series. And you find out just how strange and complicated Geoff is in this series.”

Exploring the personal and professional lives of Detective Constable Rachel Bailey (Jones) and Detective Constable Janet Scott (Sharp), Series 1 launched in May last year.
