Eve Myles Goes Blonde in BBC's 'The Guest'

Eve Myles is staying booked and busy with a lead role in the BBC's next major thriller, The Guest. Described as "layered with intense drama," the series features the classic older woman/younger woman toxic dynamic, where the younger woman usurps the older one, or at least that's what the older woman suspects she must be doing. The series was first announced by the BBC in September 2024, as one of the many high-end series that have emerged from Quay Street Productions in recent years. Now, with the show set to arrive in the latter half of 2025, the first-look pictures are out.

Although the guest lists four stars, including two men and two women, all the photos are of Myles and her Welsh co-star, Gabrielle Creevey. The images offer a glimpse of the disparity between their lives "before they become intertwined and eventually unhinged."

The series may be a Quay Street production, but funding comes from BBC Cymru, as well as Welsh Government support through Creative Wales. Although it was only filmed in English (instead of both English and Welsh), it is part of the ongoing Welsh renaissance of stories by and for Welsh viewers. That's why it's disappointing that the series currently lacks an American distributor, but hopefully this will be rectified before the series debuts.
