Marsha Thomason (DS Jenn Townsend) has given an overview of what to expect from her character this season. Marsha says, "Jenn has a tough time this season. Her father has passed away, which was a difficult relationship to start with. She's dealing with the grief of that. As the series goes on the more she pushes this away, we lead closer to the inevitable explosion.
Because of the death of her father, we get to meet Jenn's mum this season, which is really fun. Played by Suzanne Packer, who is amazing. I've been a fan of hers for many years. Then the crime story this series I found very touching. The series is always about murder but this series in particular for me, I found very emotional. People are really going to connect with it."
