FIRST THE RUMOUR
RACHEL SHENTON PICS FROM NEW SHOW
Channel 5 has released first images from their new five episode mini series THE RUMOUR which will have Oscar winner Rachel Shenton as the lead next to Joanne Whalley, Samuel Anderson, Emily Atack and
Ellie Haddington among others. Rachel
will be Joanna who moves with her young son, Alfie, to the quiet town
of Flinstead, seeking a fresh start. However, she quickly becomes
entangled in the lives of local mothers and the unsettling
dynamics of
the community. When Joanna stumbles upon an online rumour about a child
killer living in the town, she uses it to win over the mums at the
school gate. As gossip spreads, suspicions build, and Joanna finds
herself
drawn into a web of secrets and paranoia.
Balancing her efforts to protect her son with the growing unease in
town, Joanna struggles to distinguish between truth and hearsay. With
relationships strained and emotions running high, the
boundaries between
trust and fear blur.
The series explores how quickly small-town gossip can spiral out of
control, forcing Joanna to confront the unforeseen consequences of
curiosity and mistrust in her search for answers. The series arrives this Autumn.

Nothing worse than being the city gossip. I don't need to fit in with other women badly enough that I have to stoop low and run the gossip mill. I'd rather talk about ideas instead of people.
