Octopus of Odstock 2,195 Posted December 13, 2019 She's died at the Grand old age of 100. Tom Tom Telekom had posted the news in Hollywood Possibilities but not in her own thread for some reason. Condolences to her family, some of whom posted on this thread. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinegar Tits 606 Posted December 13, 2019 Really sad news, despite living to a grand age. I'm a week younger than Emmerdale (Farm) and from Yorkshire so it was obviously a huge part of television when growing up. She'd left the show by the time I worked there, and it was Frazer Hines who usually opened the Busbys/Sunwin House grotto, so I never met her, As far as DDP is concerned, it means everyone from my main 2008 and 2013 lists are now dead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted December 13, 2019 @MikeM, I think I speak for all of us when I say we are saddened by your loss. I've been searching on a regular basis for her TIYL episode for you but to no avail. I'll keep looking. R.I.P. Sheila. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
