The Pact viewers stunned over Coronation Street star s twist
The BBC drama delivers a shock.
The Pactspoilers follow.
The Pact viewers were left shocked by the drama s latest twist tonight (May 24), as a stunning revelation was made about Nancy.
In the third episode of the BBC s new mystery thriller series, the day of Jack s (Aneurin Barnard) memorial arrived and the pact between the central group of friends started to unravel.
While Louie s (Eiry Thomas) relationship with her brother Arwel (Eddie Marsan) broke down completely, and Cat (Heledd Gwynn) and Tish (Abbie Hern) grew closer, Anna s (Laura Fraser) relationship with her husband Max (Jason Hughes) grew increasingly strained after she secretly transferred £5,000 from their savings account to a mystery blackmailer who had texted her a demand for money.

If your boss were a spoiled rich kid with a drug problem, who passes over his best workers in favour of promoting his girlfriend, verbally abuses and threatens his own auntie on a night out and then drunkenly tries to assault a female co-worker in the car park afterwards, would it be a just punishment to drive him out into the woods and dump him there naked?
That’s what four female co-workers at a Welsh brewery – Anna (Laura Fraser), Nancy (Julie Hesmondhalgh), Louie (Eiry Thomas) and Cat (Heledd Gwynn) – do to Aneurin Barnard’s frankly awful boss Jack in Pete McTighe’s new BBC One drama The Pact.

There are very good reasons why the four women in The Pact loathe their boss but before they know it they have his death on their hands. If that sounds familiar then, yes, this could be a Wales-set version of Big Little Lies.
