So sad, but a very decent innings, I preferred her in her first SW role rather than the latter.

She had the impossible task to fill the void left by Kathy Staff - but somehow made it work.

Sad news. Really liked her character as Stella and thought she and Alvin had good chemistry.

Barbara was born in Brighouse which is 9 miles from Holmfirth so she is probably the regular who was most local. Billy Hardcastle was born in Halifax 11 miles away. Marina & Miss Jones were born in Wakefield 14 miles away. Crusher Milburn & PC Cooper were born in Bradford 16 miles away.
