Actor	Character	Role (spoiler-light)
Tallulah Evans	Lily Riser	One of the Riser twins. Lily’s abduction and eventual return home drives the story’s emotional core and the family’s fight to rebuild.
Delphi Evans	Abby Riser	Lily’s twin sister. Abby’s perspective explores the fallout on the people left behind and what “moving forward” looks like when the past won’t stay buried.
Jill Halfpenny	Eve Riser	Lily and Abby’s mother. Eve’s role centers on survival in the aftermath: protecting her family, seeking answers, and navigating public pressure while the case shakes the whole town.
Alfie Allen	Rick Hansen	A respected teacher in the community who hides a darker life. Rick’s relationship to the town—and his influence even after suspicion rises—fuels the show’s tension.
Vikash Bhai	Tommy (DI Tommy Shah)	The investigator tied to the case. Tommy represents the official search for truth—and the limits of procedure when a crime is rooted in trust and manipulation.
Niamh Walsh	Zoe Hansen	Closely connected to Rick. Zoe adds another angle on how predators can blend into “normal” family life and community reputation.
Levi Brown	Wes	Part of Abby’s world. Wes helps show how relationships, loyalties, and secrets shift under the strain of a long-running missing-person case.
