Who was this woman? It's driving me potty.

I saw her at Stansted airport a couple of weeks ago, so no idea what area of the Uk she lives, but I'm pretty sure she's English.

I recognise her from the telly. Probably around 60. Slim. Nice looking. Not a huge household name but definitely recognisable. Auburn hair, collar/shoulder length. It might have been dyed, but I feel she's probably a natural redhead. A bit freckly.

I think she's maybe been in some long running show like Emmerdale or Holby or something like that. But equally she could be a presenter. It's really bugging me that I can't place her.

Possibly a bit younger although incredibly she's in her 50s - Suzi Perry?

If you say you think there may be a medical connection, but can’t recognise her in the list of actresses you went through, is it possible she is a scientist/politician who would be on television during Covid - Dr Susan Hopkins or Prof Sarah Gilbert etc?

It'll turn out to be someone the op went to school with and this thread will all be in vain

@TwigletsAndRadishes Samantha Spiro?

She's such an underrated actress. I think she's great.
