New RTÉ drama Come Home explores what drives a mother to walk out

WHAT drives a mother to walk out on her husband and children? It’s a taboo topic — but one that new drama series Come Home expertly explores, writes Georgia Humphreys.

Christopher Eccleston and Paula Malcomson play Greg and Marie Farrell, a Belfast couple who were married for 19 years until, nine months previously, Marie decided to move out and start a new life. It will be shown on RTÉ One from next Tuesday.
