A good while ago like 2009 there was a series named something like by the orange/apple tree?!?
It was about a well to do brother and sister. They meet a girl at uni who has a more humble background. One night there is a party at the siblings very posh house and the brother kills someone. I think it's the sisters druggy bf. He then dumps humble girl and goes to prison. Sister disappears and turns up with a newborn later on (dead bfs baby) she dumps baby on humble girl and disappears again. Well to do brother turns back up and assumes the baby is humble girls and his. She's besotted with him so they get back to together and she doesn't tell him baby is his niece.
Fast forward 10 years or so humble girl finds out she's pregnant. Their supposed daughter is getting gip in school as someone found out her dad's done time for murder. They live in the same mansion. The girls real mum returns and starts taunting humble girl. Humble girl strangles her.
Sorry for all the humble girl references. Anyone remember this ??

This is ChatGPT say

Yes, I believe the show you’re referring to is “The Apple Tree Yard”, which aired in 2017, although some details differ slightly. It sounds like you’re blending elements of different plot points or shows, but based on the themes of betrayal, hidden pregnancies, and dark family secrets, I think you may be recalling this show or a similar one.

However, the story you describe, especially with the murder at the party, the mix-up over the baby, and the long-term consequences, does resemble a combination of soap opera and thriller tropes. A more specific series with a similar plot to what you described doesn’t come immediately to mind, and it may be that you’re remembering aspects of several different dramas from around that time.

Could you be thinking of a different series or is there more detail you recall that might pinpoint a more exact show title? Sometimes specific plot elements or character names can help narrow it down further. Let me know if anything else comes to mind!

I think it's this. Erin Kelly The Poison Tree.
I didn't know there was a TV version.
I vaguely remember all the characters being annoying 😂

The Poison Tree by Erin Kelly. One of my favourite books!

the TV show less so, I thought.
