    For example, Drol, few years back someone would have mentioned by now that June Brown had to miss the location filming for Dr Legg's funeral (on health grounds according to ITK folk), only appearing briefly in the Elstree set, and having large parts of her dialogue* (ie written early December for her) handed over to her who plays Sonia instead.

     

    *including important stuff for the character, given Leonard Fenton only returned to die to give June Brown a storyline.

     

    5 years ago this would have produced 2 pages of "she's on her last legs" posts rapidly approaching that final Dead.

     

    Instead it goes unmentioned, and there's no discussion of the DL50, just birthday mentions, death notices and "are they dead yet?" mentions. Soulless stat collecting.

     

     

    I'm rather grumpy today.

     

     

     

    It's hard to tell. It seems they filmed the interior stuff which she attended after when the location stuff was filmed (because that was filmed mid December as confirmed in newspaper reports) so what ever made her miss those scenes was not overtly serious.  She has vanished again now and next week is said to be in Ireland but she always has a break starting on screen in February.

    Eastenders actress currently down as dead on Wiki Dying of a stroke. I suspect an hoax as the account has only been a member three days and did some random Eastenders and Greatest Dancer edits before this one nearly two hours ago.

    21.19 Her character page was also edited at the same time but that has been deleted.

    21.42. Maybe not an Hoax afterall. A different user claimed to have spoken to her husband but that has been rejected due to no public source.

    Saw her on tv giving an interview in response to the labour defections.Have to say she looks remarkably good for an 88 year old.  No point in having her on the list for a while ! 

     

    No sign of Bill Rodgers though so he could be in much frailer health.

    Gave a quote to his local newspaper but no pictures or radio/television appearance.

    Must admit I am a bit shocked by this. I can only assume Sajid Javid is polishing up his callous bastard credentials for the Tory party leadership race.

    Legally it all depends on presuming she can claim Bengali citzenship.

    With the Labour split it will be interesting to see if Shirley Williams (88) appears in the media as she should be considered for the main list. Same with David Owen but he is more active and only 80.

    And she is giving Radio interviews so is still in good health.
