Help! I saw an actress in a hot chocolate cafe today and I cannot for the life of me place her. It was lunchtime today and I've been trying to work out what I recognise her from with no luck 😣

Please help me!

I think I recognise her from TV, she's British, late 40s/50ish (disclaimer I'm rubbish at guessing ages!). Brunette with a fringe, big eyes, beautiful. I want to say she's been in a legal/medical/detective type programme. Serious not comedy. Don't think period dramas.

Argh. I know that's spectacularly vague but if anyone instantly knows who I mean pleeeaaaase put me out of my misery 😆

Thank you!

She looks a little bit like a brunette Kim Cattrall except bigger eyes and English. I think she usually play serious professional sort of characters not comedy

side note. Isn’t Kim C from Liverpool?

Ooh, I love knoops. Try a 34% milk chocolate ice milk next time you're there, absolutely lush.

Well she hasn't said it's not, either???

Perhaps the answer is 'hiding in plain sight'???

Anna Maxwell thingy? Who was in Until I Kill You recently? And Motherland. And LOD.

Catherine McCormack?

Mooetenchante · 15/12/2024 19:47

Olivia Lovibond ... at least I thinks that's her name . Will have to check

TheBiggestMuffInCheshire · 15/12/2024 19:48

My first thought was Nicola Walker or one of the other "Spooks" actresses.
Or if she was with a rather gorgeous blonde man, Dervla Kirwan?

@wigsonthegreenandhatsforthelifting
Sorry, not her. I can't keep up with confirming them all but I'm thanking everyone and none of them are her so far 😓
