Poppy Gilbert stars in Netflix Thriller

Talented actress Poppy Gilbert, Class of 2015, is one of the stars of Stay Close, the latest Harlan Coben thriller, which was released on Netflix this month (January).

The eight-part drama features a star-studded cast including Cush Jumbo, James Nesbitt, Richard Armitage and Eddie Izzard. It follows a woman desperately trying to protect her treasured family life from dark secrets coming back to haunt her.

Poppy Gilbert plays Barbie, who is described as the “brains of the business”. She is ruthless and willing to go to extreme lengths to achieve her goals.

Previously, Poppy has appeared in Call The Midwife and Sarah Phelps’ recent BBC adaptation of Agatha Christie’s The Pale Horse. Last year, she was seen in ITV’s Midsomer Murders and Aidan Turner’s latest period drama, Leonardo.
