Per the official Instagram page for the film, which is currently in the crowdfunding stage, Eyes of Bairns “explores what it’s like to grow up as a child of domestic abuse and asks the question… does everyone deserve forgiveness?”

Hardwick is on board to play Rose, who is described as having “a strong moral compass”, however, she is “thrown for a loop when her estranged father asks to see her on his death bed”.

The description continues: “Now happily married to her wife, Rose is a million miles from her difficult upbringing. She hasn’t seen her dad in over twenty years and if it was up to her she’d quite happily never see him again.

“Will Rose get the answers she needs? Will Rose get the apology she desperately wants? And even if she does, will Rose forgive her father?”

Following the announcement that Hardwick had joined the cast, fans took the comment section on Instagram to share their concerns that she would be leaving Emmerdale.
