Three Pines cast members Anna Tierney and Julian Bailey joined Dead Talk Live to talk about the most recent episodes, 5 and 6, of the Amazon Studios series. 

Set in the village of Three Pines, Quebec, Canada, a series of murders turn the town upside down as Chief Inspector Armand Gamache (Alfred Molina) investigates the string of crimes. Based on the novel Fatal Grace by author Louise Penny, the show delves into each murder case’s background, spanning two episodes to unpack the subplots for the viewers. Tierney portrays Clara Morrow, and Bailey plays her husband, Peter Morrow, who is clearly suppressing a secret from his wife.

When discussing her character Clara experiencing the Morrow family’s issues, Tierney explained how episodes 5 and 6 unravel Peter’s perspective. 

“I think for me and through Clara’s eyes, you really feel for Julian’s character, Peter,” the English actress noted. “His family is a real piece of work. If there’s ever a family dynamic to be terrified of, it’s Peter’s.” 

As for Julian’s point of view on his character, the actor pointed out that Peter is “learning to cope” with his family’s pitfalls. 

“I think he’s at the point where he’s accepted that his family is what it is,” Bailey added. 

As his wife, Clara is naturally suspicious of what on earth Peter could be hiding from her. What spouse wouldn’t wonder whether their partner is being faithful while they’re making an effort to hide something? Tierney elaborated that viewers will “discover a little bit of what Peter is keeping from her in these latest episodes, 5 and 6.” However, she also noted that she thinks “there’s a lot more underneath the surface that gets explored in the novels.”
