I would say calling them 'three minute wonders' was being generous, unless
they ate a boiled egg afterwards.

Let me know when Jim beats Owen into a bloody pulp. I'll definitely tune in
for that episode.
Owen is the most despicable character since Les Battersby. He's a liar, a
cheat, a bully and an abusive father. Why on earth would the PTBs think
that anyone wants to see his sort?

He doesn't have to physically assault a family member to be abusive. Owen

But we *have* seen them. Once they have been broadcast on the telly, it is
fair game for discussion.
The only thing we haven't seen yet is the tram crash, and you'd have to be

Eggzackerly. The tram crash is assumed to be common knowledge. It's all
over itv.com, Youtube and the media. What isn't common knowledge is
exactly who is to die. The actors are sworn to secrecy. Still, we know a
few have announced they are leaving, or have not had their contracts
renewed, so we can hazard a wild guess or two.

I don't know, the way he's treating Owen as dirt, just another of Liz's
many conquests. And what hold does Jim have over Liz, anyway? It's all
in his jealous mind, and he's heading for a thumping. If Owen can't do
it himself, I'm sure he can enlist some assistance, e.g. from Chris.

people say that they watched the episode(s) specially when I had no idea

I do find it interesting that this is considered general knowledge and if

Well, I guess you don't read all the posts on this group, as there have
been many mentions of the tram crash and speculation over who might die
over the past several months. Several cast members have talked about it
on TV e.g. Babs Knox to Paul O'Grady and Vicky Binns to Alan Titchmarsh.

Sometimes it's hard to tell what mentions are speculation and which are
actual spoilers, when it becomes unclear, I'll stop reading. I don't watch
any of the shows you mention in fact I can't recall the last time I saw a
Street actor on television anywhere other than on the Street. I'm rapidly

I did a search for 'Warboys' on ratucs, but came up empty so had a
devil of a job finding this post.
I was looking at John Stape and 'Mrs. Warboys' last night and decided
that Stape looks just like her - did anyone else see the resemblance?
Also, did anyone recognise Howard's ladyfriend from Last of the Summer
Wine appearing as Charlotte's mum and her dad who was once a top cop
in a TV series, possibly New Scoland Yard?

Anne is right. According to IMDb, Jean Fergusson (double S) played
Mrs. Mallett (Gary's mum, I assume) on 1 October 1999. Also listed in
the epsisode are Gary's son Billy, brother Shane and dad Peter Mallett.
The occasion was Judy's funeral - she died following a car crash caused
by Terry Duckworth's cut-and-shut car. Why Billy is credited and not
Becky I don't know - perhaps he cried.
Like David and Rosie, the Mallett twins were Christmas babies, born 25
December 1998. They were not played by twin babies, unlike some other
non-twins such as Bethany, Freddie and Baby Jack.

So Gary had a sex change and became Charlotte? I can see a resemblance!

Don't know, but from reading Martin's post, she did - you've got a good
memory, Anne! :-)

Thanks Nick. I didn't know many UK actors back then, but had seen LOTSW
while visiting a cousin in Bedfordshire (one of her favorite shows), and
then on Canadian TV. A friend in Croydon wonders why they don't use
otherwise unknown actors (other than the Ian McKellans and Nigel Havers)
when adding to the cast, but most of the newer cast and brief appearance
actors have been unknown to me, other than Mollie, who was Ollie on
Heartbeat (a favorite show of a Scottish friend with whom I visit).
BTW, we have a Fergusson plot in our church cemetery, and among the interred
is A. J. Fergusson Blair, the first president of the Privy Council of
Canada. He took the additional surname of Blair to get an inheritance.
Fergus, north of here, was name for the family.
Nick
Interesting about A.J. Fergusson Blair - I wonder if there's any
connection with Jean Fergusson?
When you say Ollie on Heartbeat, I think you mean Emmerdale - the
actor who plays Tyrone was in a few episodes of Heartbeat.
It certainly would be cheaper using otherwise unknown actors and some
of them might be stars of the future; I understand that a lot of
established actors are keen to appear on Corrie and, of course, if
they do, that helps with the viewing figures.
Speaking of established actors, I was really surprised to see George
Chakiris on LOTSW - a far cry from West Side Story!

Thanks, Anne, for your email about Tyrone & Molly; I only use it as a
sort of 'dummy' Google Groups address, but had a gander cos this guy
on umtm said he would send me some mp3 files!

A bit like The Plank, who reverted to his original surname of Tilsley so he
could inherit Ivy's house. (It had been changed to Platt when Gail married
Martin.)

Jean Fergusson also popped up on "Come Rain Come Shine" with David Jason,
broadcast the other day. She had a cockney accent!

Martin officially adopted Nicky and Sarah Lou after David was born.
