Oh dear - actress Stephanie Cole has passed.

Very sad news about Stephanie Cole.

She was 84, so a good age.

As I gallop towards my 80s I don't consider 84 to be a "good age"!

Exactly what I was thinking posset! I felt a little chill creep over me for a moment just then 😨

My daughter modelled herself on Diana in Waiting For God. She's 52 now and it's going very well.

The word is died.

Thank you for saying that for me. Sorry to be a bit frivolous (though I don’t think she would have minded) but I was tempted to say “Passed what? The 11 plus?”.

Loved her in ‘waiting for God’

Would love a chance to see this again. She was a great actress.
RIP.

Sorry, didn’t mean to upset anyone. Lost my husband at just 70 a few months ago. Another 14 years would have been lovely….

Don't worry about it Poppyred.

I'm sorry your time with your husband was cut short 💐

Very sorry to hear that she suffered from Alzheimer's in the past few years.

I've galloped to the finishing-post and passed it - I'm also 84 and not preparing to "pass" anytime soon, though of course, fate may decide otherwise. However, I'm still making future plans because I think it's better to live life that way.

RIP Stephanie Cole, she always came across as someone you could relate to somehow.

Oh dear. I am feeling a bit tearful already today and this is sad.
I can hear her voice in my head in Cabin Pressure on radio 4.
Some wonderful actresses this year.

Thanks for reminding me of that. I once read an article written by John Finnemore that he wrote for The Observer. It was about squirrels or something like that and was one of the funniest things I’ve ever read. But I never got round to listening to Cabin Pressure even though I’ve always intended to.

The word is died.

I thought she was great in Tenko and Doc Martin.
RIP Stephanie Cole.

Loved her in Coronation Street. With her uke banjo.

I too thought she was a great all round Actress. Bet she was great fun off set too.
RIP

She was great inA Bit Of A Do, she was guaranteed to be drunk halfway through the evening 😁

Nobody should be upset because 84 is a good age and plenty of people would have been glad to reach it.
Sorry for your loss.💐

Sorry to hear that , she was such a versatile actress. Inspiring in Tenko.

Yes she did indeed play Roy’s mother in Coronation street Aveline
A very versatile actress.

RIP Stephanie

I saw her at Bath in The Rivals. Unfortunately I had a very loud choking fit when I swallowed some water the wrong way and she - as Mrs Malaprop - gave me the benefit of an 18th century glare! I think she was a marvellous and very versatile actress. I remember her in Tenko and Waiting For God and A Bit of a Do.

Apologies Gma 70's

Grandma79's.

Very sad 😢😢

I'm 84 too. You Poppyred are clearly much younger judging by that remark.

I’m 86, obviously past it.

Was she not Roy's mother in Corrie as well as all these other terrific parts?

RIP Stephanie Cole, such a good actress. Condolences to her family.
