In Traces, Mrs MacAfee is played by actress Stella Gonet.
Viewers tuning in for the drama on BBC One will recognise her face from a number of TV shows, but what else has she been in?
Read on to find out more about the Scottish star.
Who is Mrs MacAfee actress Stella Gonet?
Stella Gonet has appeared in numerous shows, most notably BBC One 90s drama House of Eliott and she’s also known for her work on stage.
As a theatre actress, she has worked alongside the likes of reclusive Hollywood star Daniel Day-Lewis, in Hamlet for the National Theatre.
She also played late former PM Margaret Thatcher in the West End show Handbagged.
Stella was born in 1960 and has two children. Her husband is actor Nicholas Farrell.
Who else has the Traces actress played besides Mrs MacAfee?
On TV, she was most recently in the show The Salisbury Poisonings. In that series she played retired civil servant Caroline Sturgess, mother of Dawn Sturgess, a victim of the Novichok poisoning.
She was also Leah in Breeders, a Sky comedy, and Elizabeth in Australian-British drama The Cry, which she starred in with Jenna Coleman.
The Cry told the story of a baby disappearing from a small town in Australia – and the disintegrating psychology of the young couple dealing with the aftermath.
Speaking about her role in that series in 2018, she said: “My character lives in Melbourne, she’s very much the centre of calm and Elizabeth and Joanna [Jenna’s character], that’s been a lovely journey to go on.
I keep thinking I’m going to have to have 10 years of unemployment to make up for having the best job ever!
“And I’ve seen in it where I bond with Joanna over the difficulty of Alistair [Joanna’s partner, played by Ewen Leslie].
“But it’s also been a great job because the role has been so interesting and to get under the skin of a woman who has obviously buried a lot of stuff over the years, which is very interesting… to play that.
Traces star’s ‘best job ever’ was The Cry
She added: “I keep thinking I’m going to have to have 10 years of unemployment. Make up for having the best job ever!”
