UK Series ITV - The Bay S2

[Barbara Fan]

Has anyone been watching The Bay S2 on ITV, Im quite enjoying it and it features lots of actors who have been in different dramas, Scottish actors not talking in a Scottish accent and i recognised 2 from Corrie days of old

Julia haworth - who was married to Ashley Peacock RIP and someone who played Maddie although Sawphee Webster called her Muddy and she got killed off, cant remember how tho

I have no idea who did the dirty deed so I will need to keep tuned!!

There is just one thing thats off putting.
The lead detective looks like the Office's David Brent aka Mr Gervais!

Who is in the cast of The Bay series 2?​

DC Lisa Armstrong - Morven Christie​

Back to lead the cast again is Morven Christie as the disgraced DC Lisa Armstrong, who landed herself in trouble in the first series and will be trying to rebuild her career.

Scottish actress Christie is well-known to British audiences with a whole host of credits to her name including Grantchester, The A Word, Twenty Twelve, Ordeal By Innocence and more.
Reflecting on where audiences will find her character in season two, Christie teased: “Lisa is just a single mum who's pushed her way through and at the point that we find her in series two, she's made some really heavy mistakes and she's paying for it.
“She's in quite a vulnerable place. She’s got no money and her professional life is in a really precarious state because she's on probation.

“There's doubt around whether she'll ever be able to claw her way back up to her previous role.”
Christie went on to say how the scripts were “very different” in the new series and the crime would be the focus rather than the characters.
The star added: “Series two has a lot of players, all of whom you could consider being involved. Lisa is like a comfy outfit for me, when I got the first block scripts it was like sinking back into an armchair.”

DI Anthony ‘Tony’ Manning - Daniel Ryan​

Returning to the show will be Daniel Ryan as DI Anthony ‘Tony’ Manning, who will be leading the investigation while dealing with the breakdown of his own marriage.
Ryan’s most prominent projects to date have included ITV’s Home Fires, Cold Call and Mount Pleasant.

No idea either but with the weather we’re used in the U.K. especially in the northwest they’ve touched lucky with their filming as it’s always very sunny!
