Megan Dodds (the actress) is an American.

And count me as someone who really liked Christine. She and Tom had great chemistry.

Megan Dodds who was born in Sacremento California, has also demonstrated a talent for playing very English young ladies as recently shown on ITV in the Poirot series. Megan played Henrietta Savernake, in the episode “The Hollow” with a very 1930’s English accent.
Another American actor also from California but this time Los Angeles is James Cromwell who played The Duke of Edinburgh in that tremendous film “The Queen” with Helen Mirren and Micheal Sheen. I was amazed to learn at the time that the actor playing Prince Philip, was in fact American. If you have not seen the film it is a “must see”.

(A few brief glimpses, but you will get the flavour of his character)

(I would recommend however that you watch “The Deal” first for an incredible performance by Micheal Sheen as Tony Blair.)

I rather disliked her when I first watched the show 6 years ago. I thought she was just very superficial and couldn't see the attraction and why Tom would end up with her. Upon my re-watch this year I started understanding if not liking her a lot better.

I think her acting and character profile is not all bad

especially compared to Sarah Caulfield

but I still don't like how she looks at Tom. The way she lowers her eyes and looks at him so obviously seductively, just doesn't feel natural.

Despite this, I think I'm becoming more and more convinced that she and Tom suit each other

and I start liking that they're together according to was it Harry's diaries or Personnel files?

. What I disliked about her character arch is mostly in S03 so it has no relevance to s02. I think she's believable as a CIA agent with a soft spot for the UK and Tom.

I completely agree - I really liked Christine Dale for the character that she was. If that makes any form of sense whatsoever...
