‘The Jetty’ Star Jenna Coleman on Ember’s Murky Past and That Shocking Twist: ‘The Ending Used to Be Extremely Different’


'The Jetty' star Jenna Coleman talks Ember's murky past, that shocking twist and more.

In new BBC drama “The Jetty” Jenna Coleman(“Doctor Who,” “The Sandman”) plays Detective Ember Manning, whose investigation into an abused teenager sets her onto a cold case relating to another missing teen, Amy Knightly, who disappeared some decades earlier. Coleman sat down with Variety after the show dropped to speak about Ember’s confession, Amy’s own culpability and whether we might ever see Detective Manning return to solve another mystery. The show deals a lot with male violence and abuse so having the perpetrator be a woman feels like an interesting choice.
