Sonya Cassidy will soon be on screen in the most talked about drama of the year so far - ITV's The Hunt for Raoul Moat - but she has a big TV past, having been in Vera and part of an exit that left fans and Brenda Blethyn heartbroken.
After the trailer for the true crime series premiered at the weekend, further details have now been revealed for the three part small screen adaptation of the man hunt that dominated headlines in the summer of 2010, when, having just been released from prison, Raoul Moat headed to Birtley to shoot ex Samantha Stobbart and murder her new boyfriend Christopher Brown.
Raoul's shooting spree didn't stop there as he then fired a gun at PC David Rathband, blinding the police officer as he sat on duty in a patrol car on the outskirts of Newcastle.
