YoungWillz 21,055 Posted February 6, 2019 No reason to doubt the source. Jamie Lehane who played Jacko Morgan in over 90 episodes, reportedly died in December 2018, aged 41. RIP young fella. https://james-lehane.muchloved.com/?fbclid=IwAR2tqJOSsBaQcTx_gEAHwFVjZv1IYp11i5QaRk5KSDi43EtUle0pFcL7tJk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,055 Posted June 26, 2019 1 hour ago, The Old Crem said: Douglas Fielding - who appeared on Eastenders, Z Cars, Family Affairs, The Bill and Doctors - has died. You forgot to mention Douglas Fielding's rather over the top cockney bus depot owner Don Conway in Grange Hill. You know, the couple of episodes where two of the pupils go to work for him and leave a dirty video on one of the coaches, which then leaves the depot for the Women's Institute. Totally not convoluted... Another death from those episodes following the sad news of Jamie Lehane's death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 11,954 Posted August 21, 2019 Someone edited Gillian Hanna's Wiki page to indicate she died. Hanna appared in the sixth series of Grange Hill as Mrs. Gossage. No obits could be found. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
