Role leaving familiar faces 'scared' of Eve

EVE Myles has certainly made an impact on autumn TV in 2025 as she's appeared in not one but three major dramas - The Guest, The Hack and Coldwater.

But one of those roles has left those who know the Ystradgynlais star taken aback as the dangerous and unpredictable character of Fran in The Guest is unlike anything Eve has done before.

Known for characters like Gwen Cooper from Torchwood, Faith Howells from Keeping Faith and Ceri Lewis in Belonging, Eve's onscreen personas have always been able to stand up for themselves, had grit and determination - but Fran Sharp was another level entirely, prompting the school run to be a little different since the drama aired in September.

Speaking to us at the Wales Screen Summit recently, Eve talked about her hectic TV schedule and what it was like playing Fran - a manipulative, wealthy businesswoman who takes cleaner Ria, played by Gabrielle Creevy, under her wing.
