VSBfromH 74 Posted July 15, 2010 Gilly Coman The actress, who played Aveline Boswell in "Bread" has died of a suspected heart attack aged 54*. After she left to have a baby, her part was taken over by one of Sean Bean's many missuses, Melanie Hill. * IMDB has her born 10 Feb 1960, but it would appear she was born late 1955, so article is probably correct.

Handrejka 1,903 Posted July 15, 2010 Gilly Conman, the actress who became famous for playing Aveline in Bread, has died of a heart attack at the age of 54. I was thinking about Bread the other day when a clip was shown in one of those fatherhood programmes on BBC. It was still about as funny as piles but I did wonder which of the Boswell siblings would be first to go. My friend heard a rumour about one them having hepititus.
