I Am A Swede

Yes she did. Well, technically I guess she died after the plane crash due to the injuries she sustained.

^^ The good old days. And I agree with the "more realism". It was baffling to see just how real things were portrayed. Frederick Pyne and Frazer Hines handled those sheeps like real farmers. I bet that was something they weren't taught in drama school!

Back to the old Emmerdale Farm episodes, and in episode 567 Jean Rogers makes her first appearance as Dolly. I'm sure I'll get used to her eventually, but she's not Katharine Barker that's for sure. Katharine had more fire right from the start and I miss her terribly. In the same episode a well-known face from the past turns up. Jenny Tomasin, best known as the dim-witted kitchen maid Ruby in "Upstairs, Downstairs". She appeared again on the show some 25 years later as the ill-fated Noreen Bell who died in the King's river development explosion caused by Cain Dingle and Sadie King.

Wow! Like so many have already said, this came as a real shock. R.I.P. It's been a tough few weeks recently with Redford, Goodall, Routledge and now Keaton.

Autumn can be so beautiful
