ITV's newest drama, No Return, has had viewers gripped with the story of a dream family break that soon turns into a holiday from hell.
The show features star actress Sheridan Smith who plays a distraught mum Kathy Powell whose son Noah is accused of sexual assault.
The teenage actor at the centre of the controversy, Louis Ashbourne Serkis, also comes from acting royalty, as the Manchester Evening News reports.

His dad is Marvel and Lord of the Rings star Andy Serkis, and his mother Lorraine Ashbourne has starred in hit Netflix dramas Bridgerton and The Crown.
It's fair to say that good acting must run in the family, with Louis being next in line to make a name for himself on the big screen.
Previously, Louis, 17, had appeared in the movies The Kid Who Would be King and Alice Through the Looking Glass, as well as the TV shows Endeavour and the Queen's Gambit.
Aged just 17, Louis has already had his fill of major acting roles and will be hoping bigger things are to come.
He also starred opposite and was directed by his dad in the film Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle in 2018 as Bhoot, an albino Indian wolf cub in Akela's pack and Mowgli's friend.
No Return viewers clocked the similarities between Louis and his famous father, known mainly for playing Gollum in the Lord of the Rings films, as well as playing another villain in the form of supreme leader Snoke from the Star Wars franchise.

@Conderoni marvelled jokingly: "Absolutely mad that Andy Serkis is playing his own son through motion capture rather than just letting him give it a go #NoReturn."
