In terms of grand comebacks, an ITV drama may seem an odd choice for Hollywood star Sophie Turner to make her return to television. This is the person, after all, who rose to fame by starring in Game of Thrones, one of the biggest shows of the 21st century – a genuine worldwide phenomenon – before marrying an American pop idol.
She’s as big as it gets, and yet, since Thrones finished in 2019, Turner has stayed off the small screen, reducing her acting roles to bit-part appearances in films like 2022’s Do Revenge. But if you’re going to make a statement with your return, then this would be it. The real-life story of Joan Hannington hasn’t really been told on screen yet – who knows why, because it’s a good one.
