Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Glenmore Abbey fiction directly echoes Ireland's real Magdalene Laundries and Tuam mother-and-baby home scandal, where 796 infant remains were found in a septic tank in 2017.
Luxembourg-born Désirée Nosbusch was a massive 1980s German TV star — this role was her grim comeback vehicle, shot entirely in English with a mostly Irish cast.
