honez 79 Posted March 19, 2005 How about actor Edward Woodward. B. 1930. Suffered a heart attack a few years ago... Which reminds me of a "joke" I heard a while back... How would one pronounce Edward Woodward if the "D's" were silent? Ehwahwoowoo. Kind of stupid, but blazingly funny after consuming copious amounts of alcohol in a pub.

Cerberus 302 Posted March 19, 2005 I'd put "Orville" first in line. But Big Bird and Emu would be next. I can't argue with that. he's a sitting duck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cerberus 302 Posted March 19, 2005 Jo Stafford, 87, was the first female vocalist to have a Number One single in the UK chart. Her rendition of "You Belong To Me" followed the inauguaral chart-topper, "Here in my Heart" by Al Martino (another one to watch out for?) in January 1953. A contemporary of Vera Lynn who has no doubt been mentioned on here before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amanda 3 Posted March 20, 2005 Watched the Emmerdale omnibus today, and I don't know the actor's name and it's a bit mean, but surely Alan Turner's on the way out? I've not seen Emmerdale for a few years, but he's gained some serious pounds. I don't want him too, but I worry he might have a heart attack. But more importantly, why is he no longer running the Woolpack??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerberus 302 Posted March 21, 2005 Amanda, The actor to whom you refer is called Richard Thorp. He's 72 and has been in the show since 1972. I agree he looks a bit unhealthy but I think he's supposed to, if you see what I mean. His daughter has been trying to poison him I believe. Mrs C tells me that he hasn't run the Woolpack for years, he sold it to the Blackstock family: Bernice and her mother Diane (the one that used to be in the Liver Birds). I think I'm on safer ground with this sort of thing than I am with politics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I've heard snippets about what's been happening, but he does seem extremely overweight - he looks like he might pop at any moment! I worry about the strain on his heart that's all!!! Bernice went to work on cruise ships didn't she? I liked her. And the lovely Trisha - what an unfortunate ending. It's the Sugden family I worry about though.... Oh and lovely Seth!! I can't get over Louise being bar maid though, she'll always be Marylin in Home and Away to me!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amanda 3 Posted March 22, 2005 Oiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Stop it! I like Emmerdale! I haven't watched it for years, but it was most enjoyable when I did - I like to think of it as escapism from the mundane shite of real life. And actually, Planet Amanda is pretty good at the mo, so *sticks tongue out* to you!!!! P.s. This probably isn't the time to ask whether anyone here watches Hollyoakes? (The soap with attractive, young blonde girlies.) But if you do, what happened to Dan and Ellie Hunter? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
