Who does she play?

“She’s worked incredibly hard to get to where she is in life, running Cooper’s with Joe and Toke underneath her. She enjoys her life, or so she thinks… or so the world thinks, but actually underneath she has a lot of turmoil going on. Her life isn’t as perfect as she’d have everyone believe and that comes out throughout the series” – Griffin
