Freddie Jones bows out of his role in Emmerdale this week with guest star Wendy Craig. Does this mean we should be paying him more attention?

 

Before anyone suggests this should be in the Soapstar thread it was a deliberate decision to put this here.

 

I once saw him play Malvolio.

He was unforgettable in the role of the British explorer Sir Richard Burton in "Search for the Nile". One of those great, unsung performances.

Yes RIP.

 

Hopefully he'll get a proper obit. I don't have him in any teams but I he deserves that honour. 

 

I can't work out if Dead Wait is joking or not but it's a different Colin Campbell.

There are some twitter rumblings that Carmel McSharry died earlier this month. 

 

It'll be a shame if she doesn't obit, and not just because she's on two of my teams.

If true that's awful, a superb performer.

@Handrejka Looks like it is true, here's a newsletter from a church in Chiswick and there can't be that many Carmel McSharrys: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/545f9ffae4b043f3ac01badc/t/5aad29a58a922d6d3cacc72f/1521297838935/Newsletter+18th+March+2018.pdf
