Posted March 4, 20196 yr From Radio Times online: According to ITV, “At the heart of the drama is the dangerous relationship between university professor Leah, and her student Rose, when, what begins as a seemingly open and shut case of academic deception, quickly spirals out of control, ending in fatal consequences, and triggering a devastating sequence of events that threaten to engulf them both.” The psychological thriller will “keep audiences guessing from the start” as it explores “just how far we’re prepared to stand up for what we believe, and at what cost.” Four-part miniseries Cheat is the work of screenwriting newcomer Gaby Hull, and is produced by Two Brothers Pictures with The Missing and Liar‘s Harry and Jack Williams serving as executive producers. Who stars in Cheat? Katherine Kelly and Molly Windsor will lead the cast, playing university professor Leah and student Rose respectively. Former Coronation Street star Kelly recently starred in Doctor Who spin-off Class and TV series Strike Back, while Windsor won the Bafta award for Best Actress for her lead role in drama Three Girls. The all-star cast also includes Peter Firth (known for his roles in Spooks and Victoria), as well as Lorraine Ashbourne (Unforgotten, The Interceptor), Adrian Edmondson (War & Peace, Bancroft) and Tom Goodman-Hill (Humans).

March 5, 20196 yr Author This is on all next week at 9 and looks as if it'll be good. If it is it's better on consecutive nights than having to wait a week for the next episode. Edited March 5, 20196 yr by Common Sense
March 12, 20196 yr Yes, did you? :o I wasn't drawn in as much as it wanted me to be. Although I loved the preparing to fake cry scene. I guess it just went from 0-100 real quick and so it will benefit once we learn of the student's intentions.
March 12, 20196 yr I watched it last night and am recording tonight's episode (so I can watch it an f/f the ads). I quite enjoyed it - it was mildly diverting. As much of a loon as Rose appears to be - I just can't warm to Leah at all - I know she's supposed to be the victim in this (or is she?) but she's a bit of a bitch. Shame about poor little Betsy though!
March 13, 20196 yr Author Tonight's episode was a tad ridiculous! How idiotic is the husband? Did he really not think that she'd use his pic against him? :rolleyes: What a D***! Am wondering if Rose could be Leah's half sister and that's why she was stalking her. Am thinking one of the dads may have something to do with it. Edited March 13, 20196 yr by Common Sense

Am thinking one of the dads may have something to do with it. That was what I was thinking. But is it also possible she could be Leah's daughter?
March 13, 20196 yr Someone’s cheated on a relationship (and I don’t mean that dick pic!) to allow the title to have more meaning! My theory atm is Rose’s dad cheated on her mum and had Leah without mum’s knowledge. Mum later found out after Rose was born which led to her running off/suicide??
March 13, 20196 yr That was what I was thinking. But is it also possible she could be Leah's daughter? We wuz right!
March 14, 20196 yr So who killed him then? Finale tonight. I don't know! It could be either of them! I'm hoping the ending isn't going to be a total let-down like the ending on 'The Temp' or 'Liar'.
