Meet the cast of BBC1 thriller Trust Me
The doctor will see you now – but who exactly will it be?
Sharon Small as Brigitte Raynes
Who does she play? Cath/Alison's overworked and frazzled new boss. She is perplexed yet grateful that this seemingly overqualified new consultant would want to come and work for the underwhelming West Lothian Trust. Brigitte takes her new colleague under her wing, convinced that any strange behaviour is the result of a tricky divorce rather than anything more sinister.
Where have I seen her before? She is best known for playing Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers in the BBC crime drama The Inspector Lynley Mysteries. She has also appeared in Law & Order: UK, Silent Witness, Midsomer Murders and Downton Abbey.
Nathan Walsh as Sam Kelly
Who does he play? The Sheffield Express journalist that Cath approaches when she realises that there have been serious cases of patient neglect at her hospital. However, she is struck by doubt and decides to file a complaint through official channels. After she has moved to Edinburgh, new leads encourage Sam to try and track her down. Don't be fooled by his calm exterior – this is a man who will do anything, including a little of his own impersonation, to get the story.
Where have I seen him before? You probably haven't. Walsh is an up-and-coming young actor, and this is his first major TV role.
Andrea Lowe as Alison Sutton
Who does she play? Cath's best friend. After 20 years as an A&E consultant, she is getting married and moving to New Zealand with her "sheep-farmer" husband, glad to be leaving the NHS once and for all. Fun-loving and straight-talking, at her leaving party she tells Cath she would do anything to help her. However, Cath stealing her identity and using it to do a job she isn't qualified to may be taking her offer a step too far, and who knows what fiery Alison will do when she finds out...
Where have I seen her before? Lowe is an established stage actress, making her debut in Harold Pinter's The Birthday Party at Sheffield's Crucible Theatre, and currently starring in How The Other Half Loves at the Duke of York's theatre. She has also appeared in TV shows such as The Tudors, Midsomer Murders, Torchwood and DCI Banks.
