The Dangerous Counterpart

Season Seven of Universe Below has been announced, and Eloise Silver, until now known mainly for an Australian soap opera and a run of ice-cream commercials, is promoted to the lead.

Her sharpest credit remains a prime-time performance as the wife of a real-life mob boss.

Estella Grant is no longer only that wife: after leading a bloody coup, she heads Melbourne’s biggest crime syndicate, with nothing to lose and a reputation built for a reign of terror.

Public fascination with the beautiful, dangerous crime boss is what put Eloise at the center of the new season.

To do the role justice, she decides she must get close to the most dangerous woman in the city.
