Towards Zero
2025
In the 2025 BBC adaptation of Agatha Christie's Towards Zero, the character of Audrey Strange, portrayed by Ella Lily Hyland, has a significant backstory as an orphan. Audrey moved to Gull's Point during her childhood after losing her parents, seeking refuge with her aunt, Lady Tressilian. She and Nevile Strange (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), her cousin, developed a complex relationship that evolved from a sibling-like bond into a romantic involvement. Their marriage, however, was fraught with difficulties, leading to a scandalous divorce. The series begins with Audrey's decision to spend a summer at Gull's Point alongside Nevile and his new wife, Kay, setting the stage for unfolding drama and mystery. Another orphan character Sylvia (Grace Doherty) has been expelled from school for thievery and is portrayed as inquisitive. As an outsider, she observes the tensions and conflicts among the guests with a sharp and inquisitive mind. She is the ward of Mr. Treves, also a guest at Gull's Point - a venerable family lawyer.
