Lydia Castor (Republic of Doyle)

Lydia Castor (Charlotte Hegele) is the hidden villainess of "Smash Derby", episode 6.03 of Republic of Doyle (airdate October 29, 2014). She was an insurance adjustor for Donald "Donny" Pearl, who was involved in a traffic accident with Billy Davidson and Curtis Breen. Lydia encountered Jake and Malachy Doyle following the accident, asking them to investigate Donny's claim that he was injured in the accident and see if it was legitimate.
But in actuality, the accident was part of an insurance fraud, with Lydia being the mastermind behind the scam. Lydia conspired with Billy, Curtis, and Donny to orchestrate the accident, with Donny unintentionally botching the group's plan. When Jake and Malachy began to uncover how the accident was actually part of a fraud attempt, Lydia refuted the possibility and later fired Jake and Malachy to keep them from uncovering the truth and her involvement in the greedy plot.
Ultimately, though, the Doyles uncovered Lydia's scam, and that Billy had killed Curtis and had previously attempted to kill Donny to cover up the scheme. Donny was ultimately rescue from Billy by Jake, who later revealed to him that Lydia had been arrested (off-screen) for her crimes.
