12 hours ago, Sean said:The Dingles are now without an identity since he left.They have been tamed down and show none of the roughness that Shadrach represented perfectly.They even mellowed down Zack not that I think he is in it much.That gets me thinking Steve Halliwell might be worth a punt soon.76 heart problems and had a rough life before fame.
Halliwell is definitely a good shout. He has been looking and sounding quite frail after the heart surgery he had couple of years back and he doesn't really appear that much in the soap anymore.

31 minutes ago, The Old Crem said:At the Soap Awards just now Andy Devine’s former cast mates paid tribute to him and revealed they only found out a couple of weeks ago again.
Glad to hear they paid tribute at least. Apparently he was omitted from the In Memoriam montage.

Death date was added twice, but was reverted both times as unsourced.
Andy Devine's death confirmed: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/4075180
Really surprised he never got a proper obit.

Joanna Barnes' death last month means the entire credited cast of the 1960 film Spartacus (starring DL favourite Kirk Douglas) is dead. However, according to IMDB the film had a lot of uncredited cast members, several of whom have no confirmed death dates.
On 15/12/2020 at 13:13, arghton said:Most watched Finnish movie ever, Tuntematon Sotilas (1955) has two alive cast members. Anja Geissbühler will be 83 next february and isn't in a good condition and Taneli Rinne will be 87. Neither one had a big role though.
Taneli Rinne died off the radar last September. No online sources, but his death notice was published in Helsingin Sanomat in December.

Shame to hear that, may he RIP. All three of 'Allo! 'Allo!'s Leclercs have gone now.

On 20/07/2021 at 02:16, arghton said:The Finnish wikipedia has a ton of these people known for, as one example writing poems/books/else in the 1940s/1950s, died in the 1960s/70s/80s after which they've been mostly forgotten by others than their families, only to be granted a wikipedia page because they were mentioned in a "who's who" sixty years ago.
Probably worst case of these forgotten deaths was Kurt Westerholm, the Finnish president's chief of staff 1958-1966. No 100th birthday confirmation but someone on wikipedia marked him as a centenarian (his 100th would've been in March 2020), later in December turns out he died in 1973, 47 years ago...
I'll try to make a list of these likely deceased Finnish "centenarians" below:
Edit: No need, someone has cleaned this wiki page: https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luokka:Yli_satavuotiaiksi_eläneet_suomalaiset
The four living notable Finnish centenarians notable enough to get a Finnish wiki are:
Astrid Qvist (b. 1912) Notable for being Finland's oldest person since December 2020.
Ilmari Koppinen (b. 1918) Runner and professor. Still active and breaking records as of this month: https://www.sss.fi/2021/07/urheiluhistoriaa-salolaisesta-103-vuotiaasta-ilmari-koppisesta-tuli-suomen-vanhin-urheilusuorituksen-tehnyt-ihminen/
Article about Koppinen becoming the oldest athlete ever in Finland.
Keijo Virtamo (1919-2021) Encyclopedist, also notable for being the last living veteran from the "Ässärykmentti" regiment during WWII. Newest article about him is from december, he'll be 102 on the 8th of next month.
Paavo V. Suominen (b. 1920) Businessman, founder of Huurre. I posted a picture of him some months ago taken on his 101th.
Paavo V. Suominen dead at 102.
