After teetering on the brink for so long we have a Winner

 

Congratulations to @RoverAndOut who gets three unique hits to get over the line with the demise of Star Trek pick John Aniston. This is a second victory for Rover so is clearly the Top Dog

 

I await your selections for game V and will set a time scale for entries when I open the thread

 

 

THANK GOD!!!!!!!

DDP picks Louis Emerick and Dean Sullivan of Brookside fame are on Steph's Packed Lunch tomorrow.

 

A chance to see how they are doing.

Both looked fine - Emerick some weight gain but hasn't really changed in 20 years.

 

Sullivan seemed to have liver spots on his hands - might have circulatory problems maybe? 

 

Don't think either of them will trouble the obit writers for some time.

Watched the tribute to Johnny Briggs on ITV earlier, hoping for some form spotting on the older cast members.

 

No sign of Julie Goodyear, Barbara Knox or Bill Roache who i thought might have made an appearance (not sure we can read much into that, what with there being a pandemic on), but I thought Goodyear would've had something to say if she was up to it.

 

Amanda Barrie featured on it, looking and sounding pretty good, even though she did raise a glass to Briggs and said "see you soon, probably, in the Rovers bar in the sky".

 

Also, any recent news on John Savident (Fred Elliott)? He must be over 80, I say he must be over 80, and wasn't exactly the picture of health 20 years ago!

Amanda Barrie was in Tonight’s episode of Casualty (As she has been for a few episodes over the last few months) and she has looked fairly well for 87.

Elizabeth Hubbard, probably best known for her roles as Dr Althea Davis on NBC's The Doctors and Lucinda Walsh in As The World Turns, apparently reported dead on the Book of Face: 

Film roles include The Bell Jar and Ordinary People. Awaiting the usual confirmations.

Implication of the article is she might have faked it.

She's turning down every interview request to tell her story, so I'm afraid it's starting to look like it was.

 

Electric chair is the only suitable punishment if true. Painful waste of a DDP main team spot.

Kate Keltie claims remain puzzling: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11967095/Neighbours-fans-bewildered-soap-star-Kate-Keltie-37-recovered-aggressive-cancer.html

I'm getting Ryan Buell vibes. (Claimed to have pancreatic cancer. Seem to remember allegations of a family member speaking years later suggesting Buell had been ill, but not with pancan.)

Through wouldn’t it be easier to claim stage 3 if it was all fake -  would get the same amount of money donated really but also be believable if in a few months later the all clear was given.
