Husband Adam Price is left stunned when the stranger tells him his wife faked her last pregnancy, which she had claimed she had miscarried.
There are many twists and turns throughout The Stranger leaving you questioning each character after each episode.
The main mystery is the identity of the Stranger – played brilliantly by actress Hannah John-Kamen.
We see the Stranger repeatedly appear out of nowhere to reveal the deepest darkest secrets of various characters’ nearest and dearest – setting off a chain of disastrous events.
Her identity is finally revealed in the penultimate episode – when viewers find out her real name is Christine Killane and is the daughter of Martin Killane (Stephen Rea).
She just so happens to be a professional blackmailer – digging up people’s dark secrets and demanding money from them so they don’t get out.
It had earlier been revealed that Martin had killed his wife when she threatened to leave him, and the big twist is that the victim was the Stranger’s mother.
However is gets even more juicy in the final episode when it’s revealed that although she had been brought up as Killane’s daughter, Christine’s real dad was none other than Ed Price (Anthony Head), who had been cheating on his wife with Martin’s wife.
