Gooseberry Crumble

Yes just realised I don't appear to have received an email either.

Legendary tv soap Crossroads actress Jane Rossington who is in a care home suffering from dementia.

Many thanks much appreciated!

Just needed to add, and I dont know how I made this mistake or mix up, but Susan Sallis DOES have a Wikipedia page , it came up on my computer in a foreign language before I pressed translate, but it DOES'NT state that she has died.I must have been half asleep or something wrongly believing she had no wiki page.

Working on my list right now and should post it in the thread before christmas.

According to the tributes and comments on this page .popular British novelist Susan Sallis died in 2020.Another comment posted on a googles group page also has a family friend confirm Sue died.I dont believe she has a wikipedia page, which surprises me, but it seems she died off the radar over 3 years ago aged 91.

Here is my list! Thanks for running this phenomenon again @msc i will try to stay on couse with being as deathlisty as possible whilst throwing in a splash of Crumble individuality!

Just came across this photo for the first time tonight whilst doing my deadpooling research and I am shocked and saddened to see this Yes she could linger for years but I have got a feeling she won't, especially as it was implied she had a rapid advancing form of this horrible illness.

I would like to suggest an array of British Soap Queens. The first Coronation Street legend Julie Goodyear who is now sadly suffering from dementia. Secondly Crossroads leading lady Jane Rossington who is also sadly now stricken with dementia and in a care home. 91 year old retired Corrie stalwart Eileen Derbyshire who played Emily Bishop. And last but by no means least EastEnders legend Pam St Clement who played the iconic Pat Butcher. Rumour has it she is rather poor health. I doubt the committee for the Official DeathList would go for all 4, although I'd be shocked if they didn't go far Julie Goodyear, so I feel the Shadowlist would have the edge if it did go for all 4.

I would urge people to vote for Bernadette Chirac and get on her on the crowdsourced DeathList.

I'm game! Here's my entry for Death race 2024.

It should be an interesting three weeks ahead of us..

Oh right thanks for that. I wasn't aware she'd been diagnosed with anything.

Indeed and combined with a much lower number of engagements performed (she's never been one not to pull her weight) it suggests the issue is quite severe and regular rather than the odd bad day. I do recall there was some shall we say slightly unkind speculation on social media when that photo was published that maybe she'd had one too many alcoholic drinks celebrating the coronation and that's why she needed to be held up! But I suspect her issues are more serious than being a bit tipsy.

Prince Michael is not on the civil list and his one engagement may well be a reception for the Coronation. If the Duke of Kent is doing 60 engagements and his younger sister is only doing 3 I think that is worth deadpoolers noting. If you believe Prince Michael doing one engagement is eyebrow raising then I don't feel it makes sense to suggest someone doing three is not something you can read much into. Princess Alexandra is still a royal patron to many charities and I cannot imagine that she wouldn't do more engagements related to them if she were able. Princess Anne does the most engagements but gets much less attention than William and Kate who do fewer so I don't think the 'streamlining' is really driven by being high profile. I think they give the most high profile stuff to William and Kate because they will get the most attention regardless. So called minor royals have always mainly been given the less high profile engagements and roles . Dull but worthy stuff some say. It will be retirement or the Grim Reaper that streamlines the royal family(the late Queens cousins) rather than a strategy of giving minor royals fewer engagements . Charles wouldn't have kept them all on as working royals if he felt they weren't needed. He would have am sure used the opportunity of a new reign to move them on. Some say Beatrice and Eugenie would make good and needed working royals but I am going of too much on a tangent!

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2023/12/09/hardest-working-royals-2023-revealed/ Princess Alexandra, who I suspect is in much frailer health than her elder brother the Duke of Kent, given she has only performed 3 royal engagements this year , whilst he has performed over 60. The Duke of Kent looks pretty unhealthy but performed 60 engagements. It makes me wonder how frail she may be with only performing 3.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2023/12/09/hardest-working-royals-2023-revealed/ Looking at these statistics I think the committee should seriously consider Princess Alexandra, who seems to be flying under the radar of many on here compared to her brother the Duke of Kent. She has performed only 3 royal engagements this year whereas the Duke of Kent performed over 60. Prince and Princess Michael of Kent are not on the civil list so aren't expected to undertake public royal engagements but Princess Alexandra is and was in the official photoshoot of working members of the Royal Family earlier this year after the coronation. Maybe it isn't the obviously visibly frail Duke of Kent we should be most focused on but on his sister Princess Alexandra, someone who has become so frail she barely appears in public at all.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2023/12/09/hardest-working-royals-2023-revealed/ Interesting breakdown of the statistics on which members of the Royal Family did the most public engagements this year. What struck me is that Princess Alexandra only performed 3 whilst her brother the Duke of Kent whose health has received the most speculation on this forum out of all the royals did over 60. Perhaps Princess Alexandra is the one we should be paying most attention to.

May I recommend 94 year old American actress Vera Miles? As one of Alfred Hitchcocks former leading ladies-a 'Hitchcock blonde ' and a star from the golden age of Hollywood, her qualifying obituary potential is beyond doubt.

Surprise Surprise I'm picking Joanne Woodward again!

You were saying.. ??!! You just can't take health for granted at such a grand old age. I wonder if any of the other names I listed as examples will also come true or the committee does surpass the record? Ethel or Jacques next possibly?

Given her dementia diagnosis I'm very surprised she was a unique pick but well done.
