Almost certainly.

Phillips

Her skin looks great for her age.In tact and a reasonable amount of colour.

Harris should be number 1 next year if he makes it.

How many parts left do you think?I can see it making 20 based on your research level.

I had nearly forgot about Sadler.Remember her vividly as a child as my parents were big Holby City fans.I remember the programme writing her out saying the character ran off after winning the lottery.

Keep going these are fascinating.

Ackland, Morris , Hurd and MacGowan I can all see getting dropped.

Have to disagree with Van Dyke and Qttenborougg.Too old plus famous to drop.Attenborough also has a cardiac history and as great shape as Van Dyke is for his age you can see he is losing weight and muscle tone . Charlton I think is too big a name to miss and didn't even go to Jack's funeral. Ronstadt has had PSP well over what the life expectancy for the condition is and has now disappeared off the radar. Whale is terminally ill with multiple secondary cancer in major organs.All it takes is his immunotherapy to stop working and he is dead in weeks. Jerry Lee Lewis looks extremely frail so would be another very risky drop. Chomsky looks and sounds very frail so he is another drop that could be risky

I will pick eminent neuroscientist David J Linden for my 3rd reserve pick.

It does but Luise Eainer debuted back in 2014 days before turning 104.Spencer , Ferencz , Butler, Antony and Lear are all deathlisty names in my opinion based on previous inclusion criteria.All are guaranteed widespread UK media coverage when they die especially Ferencz and Spencer who I could see making news bulletins.Duffy I mused about as his parliamentary career was not overly notable however that combined with his role in NATO I would say pushes him over the notability criteria.

True.I put him down purely for age.

My top 50 suggestions for new names for DL next year: 1)June Spencer 2)Benjamin Ferencz 3)Sir Patrick Duffy 4)Bill Butler 5)Ray Anthony 6)Norman Lear 7) Glynis Johns 8)Charlie Munger 9)Jane Morgan 10)Priscilla Pointer 11)Russell M Nelson 12)Joyce Randolph 13)William Russell 14)June Lockhart 15)Ysanne Churchman 16)Georgio Napolitano 17)David Graham 18)Mahatahir Mohammed 19)Gene Shalit 20)David Ogilvy 21)Georgia Holt 22)Norman Jewison 23)Terry Kliburn 24)Leotyne Price 25)Teddie Beverley 26)Gina Lollobrigida 27)James Mackay 28)James Watson 29)Hans Blix 30)Marion Ross 31)Ethel Kennedy 32)Patricia Routledge 33) John Woodvine 34)Thelma Barlow 35)Winnie Ewing 36)Joan Plowright 37)Robert Wagner 38)Rolf Harris 39)George Soros 40)Fay Weldon 41)James Earl Jones 42)John Williams 43)Phyllida Law 44)Richard Franklin 45)Ruth Buzzi 46)Ted Turner 47)Stan Bowles 48)Gordon McQueen 49)Doddie Weir 50)Rob Burrow

Cara Delevigne might be worth a punt as is clearly on hard drugs.

Douglas Hurd

2 months is a long time when you are 96 though.

He is nearly 100 incredibly famous and visibly getting frailer physically.He is on the list until he goes.

I wouldn't say it is his comments that are necessarily concerning (although the Jackie Walorski one is very worrying( when you consider his stutter although his speaking ability is not what it was several years ago but fair enough.What is concerning is the way he seems to have trouble navigating himself and stops on the spot looking around with a vague expression like someone who is lost.I have seen it in many people with dementia.Not saying he definitely has it but there is something clearly wrong besides ageing alone. He should definitely take a cognitive test.

It's not perfectly normal to forget your colleague has died at an event you organised with them.Especially as he rang the family personally.It isn't his first senior moment though.They are becoming more frequent and worse.

I think Trump will run still but pressure will be placed on him not to for De Santis. Bad I would consider both the house and Senate or losing either massively.

These senior moments are clearly getting more serious and frequent.I find it implausible he will be able to run in 2024.Imagine him being guided on and off stage and making mistakes like that during debates or hustings.If Democrats do badly in the Midterms I reckon maneuvered will start.The idea of him fighting the 2024 election appears nearly implausible now.

I personally like his Press Secretaries spin :"She was at the top of his mind" hence him calling out for her despite expressing sadness when she died that she would not be with him at this event in person and hosting an event with her family in her memory later this week.
