EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks will guest star in Channel 5's Suspects.

The network's original crime drama - which stars Fay Ripley, Damien Molony and Clare-Hope Ashitey - will return to screens with two hour-long specials in the autumn.

Emmerdale's Dominic Power, who played serial killer Cameron Murray, will also guest star in the new episodes.

In The Flesh actor Luke Newberry has also been cast, alongside Claire Cooper (Hollyoaks) and Katie Jarvis (Fish Tank).

Devised by Paul Marquess (The Bill, Footballers' Wives), the series was Channel 5's first original drama for eight years. Working without a traditional script, the cast improvise their dialogue and actions based on a detailed plot synopsis.

The second series of Suspects will be comprised of five additional episodes, with a third series confirmed to air in 2015.

No it done very well one the few shows on channel 5 it's why it's coming because for a second series. And I doubt BAFTA award winner Luke Newberry would sign up to something that wasn't good or Fay Ripley, Damien Molony.

Didn't they pull the last few episodes? I'm not saying it's not any good, just didn't think it had performed well enough. There again the repeat value and IP rights probably make up for it. I'm surprised they're not airing those 'specials' (episodes they pulled last year) after BB.

I caught a few of these last time and Damian Moloney is really good in it. I guess he just does impro really well - never goes out of character or misses a beat. Some of the other epis are a bit more up and down because not all the cast handle it so well. But I'll definitely try and catch more this time - this cast looks amazing. I'm a massive Emmett Scanlan fan, but Charlie Brooks and Dominic Power are great signings as well, so is Luke Newberry, and it'll be great to see Claire Cooper back on my screen as well. Bring it on.

I only heard about Scanlan appearing but this is great news.

One of the few good British shows Channel 5 has put out. I'm not surprised they're giving it some support with a third series.

I've not seen any of it because I don't watch Channel 5 but that's a really strong cast with Emmett Scanlan, Charlie Brooks and Dominic Power along with many others

Will have to check it out.
