RACHEL WATSON (Emily Blunt)

Our alcoholic heroine takes Metro-North into the city each day from the apartment she shares with a roommate, despite losing her job months ago. Now divorced from Tom Watson — who has remarried — Rachel busies herself by watching two strangers, Scott and Megan Hipwell, from the train.
