Missing You star Mary Malone on why Aqua is 'not a trans side character'
Briefly

For actress Mary Malone, the first time she saw herself in one of the miniseries' full episodes was in November, in a swish hotel basement cinema. She recalls first seeing a clip of her character Aqua in action before this - 'I was like, 'Oh my gosh, who is this?' Because that's how I would feel seeing a trans person in a Harlan Coben series' - but seeing episode one in its totality was a moment of self-realisation.
'Watching it now, I really was able to see myself as a part of it, and not just this tick-box person. So yeah, I think it's sinking in that it's a huge deal for me and my career.'
In Missing You, Detective Kat Donovan discovers her former fiancé Josh on a dating app, despite him disappearing without trace 11 years prior following the murder of her detective father. Kat wants answers - who really killed her father and why; where has Josh been for the past decade - but ends up with more questions than conclusions.
