CATCHING THE BLACK WIDOW, TVNZ 1, SUNDAY AT 8.30PM

In 2009, Lee-Anne Cartier’s brother Philip James Nisbet died in what appeared to be a suicide. His heartbroken sibling refused to believe he would take his own life and, instead, turned her attention on her sister-in-law, Helen Milner. Now, in a gripping tele-film based on the real-life murder, Step Dave actress Aidee Walker breathes new life into Lee-Anne’s four-year fight to expose Helen as a cold, hard killer. “I did feel a huge responsibility to Lee-Anne and her family to do it justice,” tells the 36-year-old. “I had to audition three times and it’s been a very challenging role, but it’s been the best job of my career.”
