The Newsreader on ABC – A year on from the events of series one, we meet Helen Norville (Anna Torv) and Dale Jennings (Sam Reid), now established as ‘The Golden Couple of News’… To the outside world, they present a glowing image of success and romance… But the truth is more complex.
Episode 3
A global crisis is escalating— the stock market is in freefall. Parallel to that, Helen (Anna Torv) is plunged into personal free-fall when the office is contacted by a gossip columnist, who is planning to print an expose about Helen’s troubled past – her teenage institutionalisation, and her subsequent estrangement from her family.
Feeling hunted, Helen knows that the one person capable of shutting down the story is the embattled CEO, Charlie Tate (Daniel Gillies).
