She is a friend of the mother of an old colleague of mine. The mother has passed away a good 12-13 years ago, but Elizabeth (known to us as Mrs Trower) is very much alive and residing in a assisted living facility. I've met her but only once, at a wedding. She is such a lovely and kind person, my former colleague went to see her in the summer.

Well she was as of this summer anyway.

She is not that well known and plenty of soap actors in the UK have died off record in the last few years. 

 

I think you got the answer. Look TOC she was mentioned here many times and there was no Elizabeth Trower on GRO until 2023 so of course she was alive. And here we are again, thanks @Jeremy Corbyn

Actually, I’ve checked the GRO up til June 2024 in person, and she’s still not in there. So either she died in the last 5 months or she’s alive.

Called his son "Deniro". Got fired from a panto for turning up coked off his tits to a Christmas lights switching-on ceremony and swearing. So many ITV 3 and More 4 appearances. Ended up on the dole. Truly the quintessential mid-00s Z-lister, and I'm sorry to see him go.

I'd completely forgotten about that until you mentioned it and suddenly remembered the whole "scandal". Google says it was 18 years ago, bloody hell.

With Slattery and Danan going, maybe the Reaper is scything down the celeb druggies.

 

These come in 3s they say. So is it going to be another Big Brother celeb, or a white powder star?

Was hospitalised with pneumonia as a result of vaping so much.

 

In 10 years time we’re going to have a lung cancer crisis because of people inhaling untested synthetic chemicals from Chinese factories into their lungs.

How they fall hard. One way of getting out of an appearance I guess.

I said to another forum member on here a  few weeks ago when they asked me what I predicted,  what my feelings were about what was likely to happen in the year ahead  that I thought 2025 would be the year of lots  of tv soap related deaths . With two Hollyoaks actors and actress  Maggie Clegg who starred in Emergency ward 10 and did other stuff on Corrie,  dying so far this year-I think that is one prediction that is showing all the signs of coming true.
