British Actresses You Should Know: Suranne Jones

We haven’t done one of these for quite a while so I thought it would be appropriate to bring back this series by highlighting one of the newest BAFTA Television award winners. The annual ceremony took place just last weekend and Suranne Jones brought home the Best Leading Actress trophy for her role in the popular BBC drama Doctor Foster.

Jones played Dr. Gemma Foster, a woman who thought her life was pretty great. She had a successful career as a GP and a blissful home life. However when her wifely intuition is shifted into high gear by the discovery of a long blonde hair on her husband’s scarf, she morphs into a suspicious wife determined not to be messed about. Maybe some of you caught this fine example of scheming and revenge when Doctor Foster aired on the Lifetime Channel in April 2016.
