Roz, again, with her penultimate character.
Beth Downing is a fake medium. Since she was a little girl her grandmother told her she had the ‘sight’ but Beth had never had a visitation or spoken to any spirits or the like. What she did discover though was people would pay handsomely to hear the things they wanted to hear. She left home and travelled the fashionable spots, teaching herself ways to deceive and how to create fantastical displays.
Beth doesn’t have much of a problem in using her looks to help her out when her natural showmanship is failing and she’s partial to men with deep pockets who like to spend lavishly.
Now back in London she’s about to have quite a shock as she realises she’s not quite as fake as she thought she was.
Storylines:
Someone calling Beth out on her fakery.
I’d love to have Beth fall in with some conmen types who want to fleece a much larger amount of money than she normally collects out of a vulnerable character, and for her to have second thoughts.
A ghost who is able to appear to Beth and Beth’s gradual realisation that a) the ghost is real, b) it needs her help and c) she isn’t going mad. Plotlines leading off from this would deal with what help the ghost needed.
An affair with a man from a well to do family, possibly leading to an unplanned pregnancy.
