RIP, Gerard Kelly

[AgentProvocateur]

Gerard Kelly, stalwart of the Scottish Panto, has died suddenly at 51.

That's a shame. He was a good actor and I remember him in loads of good TV as well - remember City Lights? RIP Gerard.

OMG! Was discussing going to pant with DH just this week. He was fab! Sad.

Really sad
I used to love City Lights

How sad. 51 is so young.

Awww, can't believe it. I loved City Lights. How did he die?

I am saddened by the news too, City Lights was so funny, one of the best things on the telly in the 80's, I think, and a neat wee precursor to the likes of Still Game. Panto in Scotland will not be the same without him.

A brain aneurysm was the cause of death.

Poor man.

Too young.

Must admit didn't like him doing the 'Glasgow Hardman' roles for Eastenders but loved him in City Lights.

- great theme music too!

Quite right, mozette thanks for your link, I will enjoy watching that later once the DC's are in bed.

Music one of the classics yes !

Are you a Morrissey fan, BTW ?!

Goodness, he was very young, he seemed to have been around forever thought he was a lot older.
Rip Gerard.

Really sad news. Have booked the panto but don't feel like going now, just won't feel right

just realised who this is!, very sad

saw this earlier on.v sad,dreadful for family

This is so sad, isn't it? Did anyone see him in Extras? Absolutely brilliant, in a slightly disturbing way We've lost a great actor and comedian here

God, when was City Lights on - I loved it?

I remember they did an 'It's a Wonderful Life' episode with Billy Connolly.
