Morven Christie will make a return to ITV in new Jed Mercurio thriller Payback, after her 'sudden' exit from The Bay left viewers confused.
Acclaimed actress Morven played lead character DS Lisa Armstrong in The Bay, which was an instant hit with millions of viewers, so it came as a big shock when she was replaced by Marsha Thomason for the third series, despite there still being loads of unanswered questions about Lisa.
Morven confirmed she'd left The Bay on Instagram back in spring 2021, Bye Lisa. You were a gift. Thank you Daragh Carville, thank you beloved @leehavenjones for bringing me in, and biggest love EVER to the crew the crew the crew who had my back and have my heart."
