If you're watching / have watched Fool Me Once, I have a question!

Danya Griver, who plays Abby, really, REALLY reminds me of another older female actor, maybe in her 30s, in something I've watched recently. It's driving me mad. It's something to do with the lower half of her face and the way she speaks I think. The person I'm thinking of possibly played someone who was a bit of a fusspot in a TV programme, that's all I have to go on annoyingly!

Can anyone help pleeeeease?

I’ve realised I was talking about the wrong person! I was thinking about her mate who gave her the photo frame!

She plays Gwendoline in the Mallery Towers series
She reminds me of Patsy Kensit

We debated this too, I think it's Jo Joyner (Joiner?)

Yozzer87 · 04/01/2024 10:26

I googled her and thought younger version of Jo Joyner.

@mrskimsneakattack Is it Nell Hudson?! I had this thought and it was bugging me and this is the actress I was thinking of. From ITVs Victoria and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Let me know if it is ?!

So sorry all totally forgot I started this yesterday! I don't thiiiiink it's any of the suggestions, although it might possibly be Ashley Jensen as I watched Nativity over Christmas, but still doesn't feel quite right. Going to give it some further thought and will return if/when it comes to me! I feel like I can see the actress I'm thinking of in my head, but I've looked at pics of all the suggestions and none of them are giving me the 'ooh yes that's it' feeling.

I have a funny feeling it's going to end up being Sarah from HR or something that she reminds me of rather than someone off the telly, and I'll only realise when I see her next!

I must say that she instantly reminded me of Ashley Jenson who was in extas with Ricky Gervais but also played characters like you are describing in Catastrophe and Shetland.

Newgolddream70 · 05/01/2024 13:59

She reminded me of Lesley Ann Down who played Georgina in Upstairs Downstairs.

Newgolddream70 · 05/01/2024 14:00

Or a very young Hayley Mills.

SoOutingWhoCares · 05/01/2024 18:47

She reminds me of Katie Hall who played Cosette in the Les Mis 25th Anniversary Concert.
And also someone else in a TV Drama with a younger brother that I can't remember!
