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.

Dr Sara Jarvis (might be Sarah)

There is a female doctor who often appears on the news and is sort of red haired. Can't recall her name though.

Not one that appears on gmb /Lorraine/this morning but an expert on stuff.

No medical connections and not super pointy features but Delia Smith?

She's 83, so probably not! Also, even now, surely Delia is a household name?

anyone suggested Rosie Marcel? Though she isn’t in her 60s…

NigelHarmansNewWife · 27/07/2024 17:35

Alex Kingston? Was in ER and was Anthony Green's girlfriend. She's already been mentioned by a pp.

Geraldine Somerville? From Cracker?

I can't shake the thought that there is a medical connection. Either because she's in something like Holby, Casualty, Doctors, or because she is a doctor or some sort of health and wellbeing personality.

But that might be a complete red herring.

Rosie Marcel? Played Jac in Holby and is thin with red hair?

That's what I was thinking, but she's too young.

This makes more sense than most.

I think it was an apparition. We've had the cast of Holby, Doctors, Casualty and not a bite.

GlitchStitch · 27/07/2024 17:59

Sharon Maughan? She was in Holby a few years ago.

suburburban · 27/07/2024 18:03

I thought Ruth Goodman but she's a historian

RafaFan · 27/07/2024 18:04

I saw Phyllida Law at the car hire desk at Edinburgh airport once. Knew I recognised her, but no idea who she was. Never forgot her though, and was so pleased when I saw her on TV months later and was able to put a name to the face!
