Cash-strapped

Roz negotiates

with client Scott

(inset) this week

Indecent

proposal

Sinead Keenan’s stressed

physio makes a big gamble

of her own in Deep Water

Up to her eyes in debt and with

bailiffs knocking at her door,

physiotherapist Roz Toovey was

offered a way out of her financial

crisis when wealthy client Scott

offered her £5,000 to sleep with

him, as ITV drama Deep Water

started last week.

The Lakeland-set thriller

follows friends Lisa (Anna Friel),

Kate (Rosalind Eleazar) and Roz

(Sinead Keenan), who are each

doing what they can to keep

their complicated lives afloat.

We soon learnt that, despite

her profession, mum-of-one

Roz was struggling to pay her

rent and other debts run up by

her gambling-addicted partner

Winston (Charlie Carrick).

Seeing she needed help, Roz’s

millionaire client Scott (Gerald

Kyd) made his brazen offer. In

this week’s episode, Roz meets

with Scott and agrees to the

arrangement on two conditions:

they’ll only meet once, and he’ll

have to find another physio.

The following night, racked

with guilt, Roz heads to a hotel

for their secret liaison. Afterwards,

she is appalled by what she’s done,

but also soon grateful to be able

to afford rent, school shoes and

takeaways with the proceeds.

She’s furious,

however, when

Scott later turns up at her

workplace unannounced, saying

he wants to see her again – and

he’ll pay her double this time.

‘Roz knows that accepting

his help again will have huge

repercussions,’ says Keenan.

Meanwhile, Roz’s pal Kate is

reeling from the disappearance

of her 14-year-old daughter,

Lucinda, who vanished when

family friend Lisa forgot to pick

her up from school. Is Lucinda in

danger? Or is there a reason she

doesn’t want to be at home?

HOLDING IT TOGETHER

Keenan is certain that viewers

will be able to relate to all three

women in Deep Water.

‘All families come with some

baggage,’ she says, ‘and there are

some very big, heavy pieces of

baggage for each of them.’

The Dublin-born actress,

who’s now 41, played werewolf

Nina in BBC3’s supernatural

drama Being Human and gained

a BAFTA nomination last year

for her portrayal of Melanie

Jones, the mother of murdered

youngster Rhys Jones, in the

real-life drama Little Boy Blue.

‘Deep Water is an emotional

role, too,’ she says. ‘But because

Roz is the practical one in the

relationship, I don’t think she lets

herself get to the point of crying.’

DRAMA

Deep Water

Wednesday, ITV HD, 9pm

likely to return is Hannah. Last

season, Clay was haunted by her

ghostly presence, but it seems that

might be the last we’ve seen of her.

Meanwhile, the new narrator

will be Ani (Grace Saif ), seen in

the season three trailer scrubbing

blood off a shirt...

With or without Hannah, the

show will have a fourth and final

season in which the students

graduate from Liberty High.

‘At first we thought it could be

the kind of show where you follow

these characters year after year,’

says Yorkey. ‘We thought it could

be a True Detective for teens, where

every year you start with a new

group and a new set of 13 reasons.

‘But there came a point where

I said, “I want to know what

happens next. I don’t want to leave

these characters hanging.”’
