The Guest, the upcoming BBC thriller starring Eve Myles, has unveiled a devilish new trailer.

The four-part series (https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a65286088/the-guest-first-look-bbc/) sees the Broadchurch (https://www.digitalspy.com/broadchurch/)and Torchwood (https://www.digitalspy.com/torchwood/) star portray Fran, a business owner who is thrust into a "toxic and beguiling" relationship with one of her employees, Ria (Gabrielle Creevy).

The Guest is a hugely entertaining, deftly plotted thriller that will have viewers gripped," said Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, while Nick Andrews, Head of Commissioning for BBC Cymru Wales, dubbed it a "a twisty-turny edge of your seat thriller".

"Ria has never had the time or opportunity to think about what she might actually want from the world," reads the logline.

"So, when she starts cleaning for Fran, she’s intoxicated by this confident and self-assured woman who encourages her to take control of her life.

When Ria flourishes, an intense friendship is forged. However, when Fran’s advice leads to a shocking event, the lives of these two very different women become intertwined by shared secrets and dangerous plots."

However, when Fran's advice leads to a shocking event, the lives of these two very different women become intertwined by shared secrets and dangerous plots.

What follows is a compelling and manipulative game of cat and mouse. But just who is playing who?"

The twisty thriller comes to screens this autumn.

Stunning shots of beautiful Rhossili, Worms Head and driving over the Gower in episode 2 - that's my home town ❤

So many unanswered questions..

Why did the woman attack Ria in the shop? I thought maybe she was perhaps Ria's dead date's wife but she wouldn't know Ria had been his killer.

So the dead date [can't remember his name] and Fran know each other , but it can't have been a set up as Fran didn't know Ria would be in the house pretending it's hers .

I guess we'll find out eventually!

I think Fran deliberately engineered it so that Ria and Mike (dead guy) would meet. She encouraged her to meet someone new and to use that specific app. I doubt she intended him to wind up dead, maybe she was using him as another way to control and isolate Ria. Not sure what the prior relationship between Fran and Mike is.

but it can't have been a set up as Fran didn't know Ria would be in the house pretending it's hers .

I don't think that follows.

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/09/2025 17:11

Or maybe she knew if she was out that she would pretend house was hers

She’s definitely going to try and get Ria to do something, maybe drug smuggling, maybe she wants her to kill off her husband so she can be with Richard?

worrisomeasset · 09/09/2025 17:19

I thought that at the end of Ep 2 she’s in the guest house next to the big house, where the curtain twitcher was spotted in Ep 1.

Yes I definitely think that Fran has said Rhia can move into the guest house next to her property so it was that that we saw at the end

Blondeshavemorefun · 13/09/2025 21:35

Wonder if we will see more of her husband

So who can be sending the messages from dead Mike’s phone? Can’t be be Fran as she was sitting next to Ria in the garden of the beach house when Ria received the last one.

Blondeshavemorefun · 15/09/2025 09:11

Anyone else find it a bit odd that Ria, who can't afford peaches and resorts to taking food from donation bins, can somehow afford to run a nice big new car?

A tiny ancient looked worn out Fiat is a nice new big car?
Not sure what show you were watching.

IceandIndigo · 16/09/2025 09:49

I can't believe Ria drank the wine. Also, the way she just meekly accepted Fran taking her car keys.

My first thought was that she had been framed for the husband's murder, but is it also possible she actually did it?

moto748e · 16/09/2025 10:48

i thught drugged wine too. But then I remember how she'd gobbled down a handful of pills earlier. Any alcohol on top of them...

Gloriia · 16/09/2025 13:16

It's all quite intriguing isn't it. I do like Fran's outfits, she's so quietly glam. I just wish she'd take Ria to the hairdressers and give her a makeover, the overdyed 80s style bouffant mane isn't flattering.

Yes she's definitely fitted her up for the murder what with that little hammer thing but then will Ria throw the sex clip at her and theyll decide to get rid of the body together.

Is it the last one tonight or next week?

It's a slow burner but watchable for the soft furnishings if nothing else.

moto748e · 16/09/2025 13:25

Agree about Fran's outfits; she always looks fabulous!

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/09/2025 13:35

I think it’s 4 so last one

It seems like more than a week since the last one! I'm glad they start with a little recap to remind me who's who and what's what.

Blondeshavemorefun · 22/09/2025 17:38
