Doris Keating (Hailey Dean Mystery)

Doris Keating (Gwynyth Walsh) is the hidden main villainess from the 2017 Hallmark film Hailey Dean Mystery: Deadly Estate, the second film of the Hailey Dean film series (airdate April 9, 2017). She is the mastermind behind the murders of several rich heiresses; additionally, she had her son and henchman, Ryan Cook, commit the murders.
Doris was hired by the film's main protagonist, Pam Finan, to hold an estate sale on the home belonging to her parents (who were killed in an accident two months prior to the film's events). She used her position as a front for herself and Ryan to kidnap Pam, planning to kill her. Doris also had Ryan poison Hailey Dean's boyfriend, Jonas McClellan, mainly to keep Hailey out of the way.
Hailey finds Pam tied up at a warehouse, and Ryan holding her at gunpoint. She shoots Ryan, but it was at that point that Doris is revealed as Ryan's mother and the villainous mastermind behind the killings, with Hailey being informed that Doris' fingerprint was found at the scene of Pam's abduction. Afterwards, Doris turned heel and held Hailey at gunpoint, officially revealing herself as a villainess and ordering Ryan to find his own gun and kill Hailey. Hailey reminded Ryan of Doris' selfishness towards her son, which was proven when Doris was shown secretly pointing a gun at Ryan. After Ryan lashed out at Doris during a heated discussion, the sound of the police entering provided enough of a distraction for Hailey to knock the gun out of Doris' possession. Both Doris and Ryan were later arrested, with the latter being taken to a hospital by an ambulance.
The only hint of Doris' motive for the killings was provided during her reveal, when she told Ryan not to listen to what Hailey was saying to him because it would "ruin everything [they] worked so hard for." This would seemingly indicate that Doris' murderous crime spree was motivated by greed, likely selling her victims' belongings or stealing their money after Ryan killed them.
