Characters & Actors

Tara FitzGerald as Eve Lockhart

Dr Eve Lockhart (Tara FitzGerald)
Occupation: Forensic Pathologist


Eve's a mercurial sort, irresistible and unpredictable. She's hard-working, married to her job, emotionally independent but not scared of appearing vulnerable.

Working at a fierce pace on ridiculously small amounts of sleep, she can be high and wired or sink into darker moods. Energetic and scatter-gun in her approach, she's a great polymath - steeped in literature and history.

Before working with the Cold Case Unit, Eve excavated mass graves in places like Bosnia and Sri Lanka, which has led her to pioneer the UK's only 'Body Farm'. This comparative bone bank is her unique archive: thousands of bones and skulls testify to the rich variety of death, disease and dismemberment.

A brilliant scientist at the cutting edge of DNA and new technologies, Eve's well-versed in skeletal and decomposition expertise, forensic toxicology, pre and post mortem injuries.

Eve has a spiky but healthy relationship with Boyd and a mutual professional respect for Grace, whose science-based background creates an unspoken understanding between them that the rest of the team don't share.
