Much like Channel 5 thrillers (https://tvguide.co.uk/streaming-guide/the-au-pair-channel-5-five-best-thrillers-my5-castaways-wives-ex-wife-teacher-inheritance/) The Feud and The Inheritance, The Imposter focuses on a family at war – and some pretty horrible characters.
A synopsis tells us: “A splashy seaside hotel in a coastal Victorian town becomes the centre of a bitter family dispute as matriarch Helen refuses to sell, despite pressure from her three adult children.
But Helen is hiding a secret: a daughter she gave up for adoption decades ago…”
When long lost child Amanda suddenly appears in Helen’s life, the mum welcomes her with open arms.
The lucrative hotel is the “ultimate prize” and a twisted scheme soon spirals into betrayal and ultimately, murder.
As soap actors go, here are some of the most iconic! Neighbours legend Jackie Woodburne will lead the cast as matriarch Helen. Of course, the Australian actress is most famous for playing Susan in the now axed soap. We’re told viewers will see her “like you’ve never seen before”. She certainly looks dowdy!
Kym Marsh will play Helen’s long-lost daughter Amanda, whose true intentions are unclear.
Like Jackie, Kym is perhaps best known for her soap role. She portrayed Michelle Connor in Coronation Street from 2006 to 2019. Since then, she’s hosted Morning Live, and appeared in Waterloo Road, and The Syndicate.
