At the end, Emily’s body was found. Camera crews descended to report on the tragedy. Raw and bereft, Claudia surveyed the scene through tears. Was she crying because she had hoped to find Emily alive? Or did her pain come from somewhere darker? “I just don’t want it to be over,” she told a reporter. “Not yet.” A third said: "The one I suspect you're on about was in Doctor Who and her voice was a bit grating in that, too. And she ended up being a paving stone." He’s also known for Love/Hate, an Irish series he starred in alongside Umbrella Academy‘s Robert Sheenan. One of his early roles was as Spinky Sutherland in the BBC comedy drama Outlaws in 2004 – not to be confused with the recent hit The Outlaws.

Collecting money for Emily’s family gave Claudia the perfect excuse to strike up a rapport with teacher George (Craig Parkinson), a colleague she’d been admiring from afar. Few people can do “woman with an albatross on her shoulders” through pure body language like Shirley Henderson can. Hence she was an inspired choice to play weirdo Claudia in The House Across the Street, a sad, lonely, introverted school nurse who would have terrified me if I’d had to go to her with a nosebleed. Don’t come here expecting any levity — there’s not a sliver. It is a dark, psychological deep dive into troubled souls. But one done with an artful intensity. The show’s synopsis says of Claudia: “Her opportunity to be a hero comes when a young child in her community – Emily Winter – goes missing.

The House Across The Street focuses on the life of an isolated mum, Claudia, who is also a nurse recovering from breast cancer. Some limited series in the past have gone on to have more episodes, such as Big Little Lies, Euphoria and The Flight Attendant on other channels and streaming platforms.
