She is Debra McGrath - not relatively to fellow Canadian actor, Doug - born in 1954 and married to Colin Mochrie.
Ms McGrath is over the top in this episode and she drags along the rest of the cast from the police station. All of them - they all shine and must have enjoyed jamming and hamming it up, shamelessly.
George drags Effie out of her funk; Julia continues to antagonize the medical community. All the while the tale of a handsome murdered gigolo gives the writers the opportunity to reformat THE STING.
Coincidently Helene Joy celebrated her 43rd birthday this week. I can't understand why the producers insist on making drab even drowsy. Women can be both educated and professional, compassionate and strong willed. Her gallery here on IMDB will witness another side to her.
Lastly what a pain with the APP and log in and seeing and hearing security questions.
Thanks for reading.
At least CBC has this series as an export item. Too bad.certain destinations change the title as they did with ORDE; LEWIS (cannot remember what they tried with ENDEAVOUR... or they would have removed the 'u'.
A footnote: My 4K Cinema Paradiso has both US and UK subtitles for this classic Italian language gem!
