The new Channel 5 series, which premiered on 17th October, focuses on the sudden disappearance of a young child from a small community \u2013 and one woman who becomes obsessed with finding her.<\/p>\n
A lonely single mother recovering from cancer, Claudia find herself alienated from her son and overlooked by her community. That is until local child Emily Winter goes missing, when Claudia steps up to lead the search efforts and everything changes.<\/p>\n
And in the show\u2019s latest episode, Henderson\u2019s character couldn\u2019t believe what she saw.<\/p>\n
Claudia was woken one night by the sound of a car engine, prompting her to head over to her bedroom window and take a look. To her horror, it was George (Craig Parkinson) with the pink bike that belonged to Emily Winter, who was found dead in episode 1.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a doubly devastating moment for Claudia given that she\u2019d grown close with the teacher in the short time they\u2019d known one another, with the pair bonding over their shared experiences.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re thinking, \u2018Oh my God, don\u2019t let him have something to do with this.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cShe really likes him, so she\u2019s sad, although I think she\u2019s attracted to him in a way that she maybe doesn\u2019t want to be. It\u2019s a mucky setup. And she\u2019s scared, very scared that somebody that she\u2019s gotten close with could have done something bad.\u201d<\/p>\n On what to expect from the upcoming two episodes, which air on Monday and Tuesday next week (24th and 25th October), Henderson teased: \u201cMisconceptions and panic. She\u2019s got new people in her life that are vital to her, that she never even knew existed a short while ago.<\/p>\n \u201cThey have slightly taken over her world, or she\u2019s allowed them in and within that, there\u2019s danger and a lot of accusations, and torment. She\u2019s almost tormenting herself, physically and mentally, and imagining things that are maybe never going to be, and can\u2019t possibly be. And she is affecting people in the wrong way.\u201d<\/p>\n She added: \u201cThere is a richer history to a lot of the characters than what you see in the first two episodes. We\u2019ll get some backstory and there are secrets to be unlocked. I would say don\u2019t take people at face value.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat we\u2019re not trying to do is hoodwink the audience. I would hope the audience would not feel that George has too much to hide.\u201d<\/p> The House Across the Street continues on Monday 24th October at 9pm on Channel 5.
