Please tell which actress this is - driving me crazy!

[AntsDeck]

Hi,

I have an actress in mind, who I just cannot place in something I have watched, quite recently I think – well perhaps in the last year or so

She is tall, slim and pretty. She has red hair, kind of bob length and wavy/curly.

She speaks softly and is very well spoken.

I like drama/thriller type things, such as Luther (it is not the actress from this), Line of Duty, Killing Eve, etc.

I can see her in a nice house/flat and is wearing a white, thin knit jumper and holding a mug.

If anyone can tell me who it is, I will be very grateful

Eh? Isn't that Rick Astley?

Has Emilia Fox been suggested?

Good shout on Gina McKee.

Come on OP! Someone must have gotten in right by now!

I think it's got to be Ruth Wilson, perhaps you just didn't see a good photo?
Watch "the affair" trailer !

Acatcalkedjohn I'm CONVINCED it's Gina McKee, hence my obsession with OP coming back to tell us

Yes Emilia Fix has been suggested upthread

FOX!!

Sorry all. I didn't think about the time when I posted my OP.

Just got in from work and have been ploughing through all the names on google, looking at pictures, which took a long time, until I fond her!

Mars Bar on the way to whoever said Maxine Peake!

A thousand thank yous to all those who took the time to reply

What was the programme?

Peake doesn’t have red hair. A red soul maybe.

Maxine Peake you say? After Dinner Ladies I presume

Oh god! That will teach me to look at what I am doing! I clicked back onto the wrong page on my phone and said Maxine Peake, but should have put Siobhan Redmond

I used to watch Holby yonks ago and then must have seen her in The Nest a few weeks ago and then just couldn't place her!

All those who suggested her were of course, right!

I can only blame my brain blip on a very long day

Siobhan will be well chuffed. Wiki says she's 60!

Maxine Peake softly spoken ? She is a fine actress but I would never describe her as that .

@TSSDNCOP I have always been useless with guessing people's ages that said, I would never have put her at 60!

Siobhan Redmond...mussolini in micromesh??....hitler in tights??

Michelle Dockery

Oh I do love you @LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow
Now I have the theme tune flying (!) round my brain

Had the op woken up yet? Do we know who it is?

it's literally 7 messages up

Yes!! I knew it (22.08 yesterday smug face)

can you petition Netflix for things.....High Life should be on there surely?

I know you know who it is now but I’d just like to say I have a massive crush on Holiday Grainger. She is the answer to everything.

Absolutely, definitely Kelly Reilly. She was in the Above Syspicion series with Ciaraan Hinds between 2009 and 2012.
Takes bow...
You're welcome.

Except OP has already confirmed it was Siobhan Redmond @BurtonHouse.
