Aye, I'm all for as many DDP teams dropping her as possible but the Deathlist would be foolish to, given she reaches average survival length for her illness in March/April 2018.

Err... There were plenty of openly lesbian characters in Prisoner Cell Block H. Not sure about Number 96 but The Box definitely had an out lesbian character too. All well before Zoe Tate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 17,762 Posted December 21, 2017 According to Wiki, Zoe Tate came out in the early 90s, before that Anna Friel kiss. Prisoner predates both, of course. Though apparently the first lesbian kiss on British TV was from 1974 involving Alison Steadman? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 14,842 Posted December 22, 2017 What's all that about it "getting out into the public domain" that she had to raise money for treatment? She had a bloody GoFundMe page, didn't she? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johan Cruyff also had a positive attitude and it was claimed that he was "winning" his lung cancer battle in February, visited a Formula 1 Grand Prix in early March to root for his compatriot (Verstappen), but dropped dead in three weeks (after the cancer had metastasized to his brain).

maryportfuncity 10,016 Posted December 28, 2017 As someone currently compiling a dead pool masterlist I'm saying now that if Bracknell pegs out in the next three days the likes of me might have a case against her estate for the amount of (wo)man hours it'll take us to bring on the subs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

philheybrookbay 439 Posted December 31, 2017 I think Lynda Bellingham last husband nickname was Mr Spain. He turned out to be a rather unsavoury character after her death. Claimed to have had sex with her ghost etc.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
