She's a total fucking car crash and I would not be at all surprised to hear of her premature demise.  Somebody fucking help her for fuck's sake.

Is she? Is she REALLY?

It wasnt that long ago she was supposedly homeless and fucking potless.

No more than, what seems like months later, she is living in Marbella and walking around with a Prada fucking handbag with £600 (near enough in euros) inside it before she got mugged.

She needs no help, she is a fucking CUNT!!!!!!

I very much doubt the story of the mugging.  She was pictured before it allegedly happened with some quite distinctive key chain accessories attached to the 'stolen' bag - after the 'mugging' the same accessories appeared on her new bag.  Did she say to the mugger 'ooo hang on a mo, let me just take these off before you brutally mug me'?

 

I agree she is a cunt but she is also clearly mentally unstable and needs professional intervention.

Fair comment Lardy but, Id suggest, the drugs that she is undoubtedly still on are causing her erratic behaviour.

Its not like she hasnt had professional help before to quit them.

That's a shame. I really hoped Daniella Westbrook would overcome her problems

Report of the death of Jared Martin aged 75, who played Dusty Farlow in Dallas. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/jared-martin-dead-dusty-farlow-dallas-was-75-1007947

 

I never watched that show, but I do remember him from various US Sci-Fi shows, very distinctive look.

Aww, that's sad news. She was extremely likeable in The Young Doctors - quite possibly the most sympathetic Oz soap character other than Saint Meg of Wentworth.

 

I don't know if it's on YouTube but when YTV and Tyne Tees joined up and started showing TYD in sync with each other (YTV was years behind) a catch-up five minutes covering the 215 episodes skipped by YTV was shown which was hilarious, and Helen Gordon featured heavily in it - full of dismissing massive and character life changing storylines in one sentence.

Kind of saddened by this too, He was one of the first famous people I remember meeting and the first, possibly the only, person I've ever asked for an autograph.

Ironically Barraclough passed away at Willow Wood Hospice, Ashton-under-Lyne, the same hospice where his good friend Corrie and Last of the Summer Wine actress Kathy Staff died. Staff, who played Vera Hopkins in the Manchester soap during the mid-seventies, also played Barraclough's on screen wife, Lorna Everitt in Castle Haven a short lived soap opera broadcast by Yorkshire Television from 1969.
