The Newsreader: Sept 24

The Newsreader this Sunday begins in October 1987 amid the stock market crash -but Helen has her own looming disaster.

A global crisis is escalating— the stock market is in freefall. Parallel to that, Helen (Anna Torv) is plunged into personal free-fall when the office is contacted by a gossip columnist, who is planning to print an expose about Helen’s troubled past – her teenage institutionalisation, and her subsequent estrangement from her family. Feeling hunted, Helen knows that the one person capable of shutting down the story is the embattled CEO, Charlie Tate (Daniel Gillies).

8:30pm Sunday on ABC.
