More infoJoin us on WhatsApp Netflix viewers have recognised the actress who portrays Manda Miller, the mum, in the series Adolescence. The four-part drama, which premiered last week, features a star-studded cast including Stephen Graham and Ashley Walters. The show, created by Jack Thorne and Stephen, centres around a young boy named Jamie Miller (played by Owen Cooper) who is accused of murdering a young girl. Each of the four episodes of the drama was filmed in a single shot in Pontefract, West Yorkshire. Stephen Graham takes on the role of Jamie’s father, Eddie Miller, while Ashley Walters plays DI Luke Bascombe, who is the lead investigator on the case. Jamie’s mother, Manda, is portrayed by actress Christine Tremarco. Meanwhile, Stephen’s real-life wife Hannah Walters also appears in the series as a teacher.

However, viewers of Adolescence – which has received rave reviews and been hailed as the best TV series of the year – were taken aback upon realising where they had seen Christine Tremarco before, reports the Mirror. The actress recently appeared in the ITV soap Emmerdale, playing Rose Jackson, the estranged mother of Dawn Taylor (portrayed by Olivia Bromley). Christine made her first appearance on the show last year, and her character certainly stirred things up. Rose was working with Ruby Fox-Miligan (played by Beth Cordingly) to bring down Kim Tate (Claire King). However, Rose disappeared and was presumed dead, with both Kim and Will suspected of her murder.

Adolescence has gripped viewers
Fans were left gobsmacked after realising that Rose, who was thought to be dead in Emmerdale, was actually very much alive – a plot twist part of her daughter Dawn’s plan to exact revenge on her father Will (played by Dean Andrews). As far viewers know, she’s currently living it up in Ibiza. The fan reaction to actress Christine’s time on Emmerdale has been one of surprise and delight. One eagle-eyed fan on an Emmerdale Facebook group exclaimed: “Just started watching Adolescence and realised the mum is Rose who played Dawn’s mum on Emmerdale.” Another said: “That’s where I recognise her from!” A third added: “It took a while to recognise her, she was great in this.” Away from Emmerdale, Christine also played Davina Shackleton in BBC’s Waterloo Road from 2007 to 2009, and Casualty as nurse Linda Andrews from 2010 to 2013.
