    Deadpool Detective Work

    Could you check Jeanne Hepple (IMDb) and Elizabeth Kelly (IMDb), please? I know Kelly is someone who shouldn't die off radar, but there have been so many off-radar notable soap actor deaths in recent years. EDIT: Also John Evitts (IMDb)?

    Ideas and possibilities for 2023

    It was actually me who mentioned her ill health, not Biblio. Though I'm not sure would she have gotten any more DDP traction anyway. For comparison, Phyllida Law, another aged British actress like Tewson, has been known to have Parkinson's for some time now, yet no one appears to have picked her in the DDP this year.

    I believe he's the second oldest, after Barbara Young, who played Stella.

    Made a public appearance yesterday: https://www.seiska.fi/Kotimaa/Talta-nayttaa-Paavo-Lipponen-81-nyt-avaa-Seiskalle-kuulumisiaan-Terveys-on-stabiili/1176373 Says his health is stable, and looks quite well. However, I think this is the first time he has been seen using a walking stick. Swan posted an update to her blog last month. She is apparently doing a lot better now and the tumors in her brain have shrunk. She also had COVID in March.

    Yeah, it was a surprise for me too, despite his past health issues. It has now been confirmed he had liver and esophageal cancer. He apparently could have lasted two more years if he had surgery, but he refused all treatment.
