Angie, the only female Squad member, is a doctor and oncology specialist. Having lost a husband and a daughter to the enemy, Angie has been with the squad since it was formed.

Angie is a survivor. Although haunted by her own ghosts, she gives almost no indication of the personal tragedy that she has to bear. She lives for two things - her work and her daughter.

Susannah Harker is a direct descendent of Joseph Harker, friend of Bram Stoker's and the inspiration for Jonathan Harker, the hero of "Dracula", a coincidence she says has a 'slightly spooky symmetry.'

Susannah says:

"Angie is almost too professional - it's how she protects herself. because of the clandestine work of the squad, Angie plays her cards very close to her chest, both professionally and privately. She is exciting to play as everything is internalised and the challenge is to hint at the depth of her motivation and the emotion that she is holding back."

Susannah Harker's recent television roles include Emma Fitzgerald in Carlton's Heat of the Sun with Trevor Eve, and Jane Bennet in the BBC's massively successful Pride and Prejudice. Susannah's television career took off in the early 1980's with The Fear in which she starred with Iain Glenn. She then went on to appear as Mattie Storin in House of Cards with Ian Richardson and Central TV's Chancer with Clive Owen.

Susannah's film credits include Mike Radford's White Mischief, Dry White Season and James Ivory's Surviving Picasso with Anthony Hopkins. She has worked with writer/director Joe Ahearne previously on a short film, The Cull. Susannah has also worked extensively in the theatre where her credits include Racing Demon at the Royal National Theatre, The Importance of Being Earnest at the Aldwych Theatre and Tartuffe at the Almeida Theatre.
