Welsh actress Eve Myles is enjoying a surge in popularity following her role as Detective Annie Cassidy in ITV's new six-part series, Gone. The drama, co-starring Sherwood's David Morrissey, airs on ITV1 on Sundays and Mondays for three weeks, with all episodes available on ITVX.
Gone has prompted viewers to revisit Myles's earlier Welsh noir thriller, Keeping Faith, which originally aired on S4C in 2017 as Un Bore Mercher and later in English on BBC Wales. The series, available on BBC iPlayer, features Myles as Faith Howells, a solicitor whose husband vanishes while she is on maternity leave.
Keeping Faith was a massive hit in Wales, averaging 300,000 viewers per episode and becoming the most popular show on BBC Wales for over 25 years. By May 2018, it was the most downloaded non-network show on BBC iPlayer, with over 8.5 million downloads. All three series remain available on iPlayer.
The show has garnered strong reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. One fan called it a 'well acted gem,' while another praised Myles's performance as 'spectacular.' However, some viewers found it underwhelming, noting that the first episode set high expectations that the rest of the series struggled to meet.
