A Woman of Substance cast: Who stars alongside Brenda Blethyn in Channel 4 drama?

This new TV series is based on Barbara Taylor Bradford’s 1979 novel, and it’s not the first time the story has been brought to the screen. While the 1985 adaptation starred Jenny Seagrove and Deborah Kerr, this version features Brenda Blethyn and Jessica Reynolds playing Emma Harte at different stages of her life.
