Who’s in the cast of The Bay series two?
Morven Christie returns as Lisa Armstrong in The Bay, alongside series one cast member Taheen Modak, who played her sidekick DC Ahmed Kharim.
However, this series the tables have turned…
Former EastEnders star Lindsey Coulson, who played Carol Jackson, returns as Lisa’s mum.
Meanwhile, Daniel Ryan reprises his role as DI Tony Manning.
But it’s the new faces we’re excited about (no offence, oldies!).
Series two welcomes The Split star Stephen Tompkinson, as well as Ackley Bridge’s Sunetra Sarker.
Game of Thrones actor James Cosmo also joins the cast, as does Mistresses star Sharon Small.
Joe Absolom, who played Al Large in Doc Martin, arrives as Lisa’s ex and father of her children – but it’s not a happy reunion.
Former Corrie star Julie Haworth, aka Claire Peacock, also stars.
How did series one end?
The Bay attracted an impressive 7.3 million viewers for the final episode of the first series.
In the closing scenes, Lisa discovered her daughter Abbie’s connection with drug dealer Vincent and had him arrested.
Pregnant teen Holly did NOT murder her twin Dylan. The killer was revealed to be her friend Sam.
He confessed everything to Lisa – that he got Holly pregnant and planned to start a new life with her in Manchester.
Sam also revealed that he killed Dylan, albeit by accident, when he tried to stop them from going away.
In one of episode six’s closing scenes, we learned that Sam was set for prison time.
Some viewers were disappointed that so many plot questions went unanswered.
When is The Bay returning?
The Bay is returning on Wednesday January 20 2021 .
It will air at 9pm on ITV1.
