Spooks - Connie Beachamp!

[caspered]

DH and I just chatting before he goes off for work for the rest of the week, we were discussing great exits from telly programmes - he knows how traumatised I have been by Harry in Silent Witness (yes I have seen the plot giveaway but won't reveal here), Joseph and Connie from Holby (cried when Connie left[bsad]), Lucas and Adam from Spooks and then I remembered that Harry has gone from Spooks too, when DH said wouldn't Connie (Amanda Mealing) be a fabulous new 'Harry'!!!! YES I shouted in the middle of the cafe, how bloody fantastic she would be!!! A ball-breaker in charge of MI5!! BBC is you're listening.............. Any thoughts anyone?

Yes I know I should get out more, but since DH is away all week working and I have two DDs. I have to get my 'thrills' in the evenings from somewhere and it is usually the BBC [bconfused] [bblush]

LOL I must be getting forgetful, did Harry leave Spooks?

I loved Connie. It was great to see an older woman who was portrayed as strong, resourceful and intelligent. It was a shock when she went to the dark side, but a wonderfully dramatic one. And secretly I liked the way that an older woman could also be a cold blooded and efficient killer.

Wasn't he made the scapegoat by the Home Secretary and told to fall on his sword? Or did I dream this?? If I did, I am even sadder than even I thought [bgrin] still think Connie would be superb though!!!

Connie in Spooks was blown to atoms - Connie Beauchamp is from Holby, Google tells me, Butterbur.

Harry only faces an investigation and a probably sacking - that's nothing.

If we're going to transfer Holby City characters to MI5, I want Anton Meyer or Ric Griffin - both would be better.

I think I probably would have remembered if Spooks Harry had died/ left for good, he is great
as for other Harry well awful death (did he actually?) but I don't like his character

Actually, I didn't say Beauchamp, because it didn't sound right, and I couldn't be arsed to Google.

I have now, and it's Connie James.

I know you didn't Butterbur, but that's who the OP was talking about.

Oh yes - I misread the OP, and thought it said what I wanted it to say.

I agree - Connie James would make a formidable section head were it not for the treachery and the deadness.

I was talking about connie from Holby, think Anton would be great as well jeee, though I think Ric is a bit too nice! (yes I know they are only actors and the alternative world I am living in is only in my head!)

How can you see Ric as 'a bit too nice'? Look at his gambling problem, dozens of wives, and various problem kids. He'd fit right in with Section D (or whichever letter it is).

But Meyer is still the sexiest consultant ever to walk down the corridors of Holby.

Loved loved loved Meyer's voice. I know all the problems Ric has but I still think deep down he is too nice after all would you have married Lola or Tandy if you weren't a bit too nice [bwink]

Harry hasn't gone! like Pterosaur said it will just be an investigation or something. I think he has been suspended at least twice before but he always gets back.

They simply can't have Spooks without Harry

phew, thats a relief! I do think they could find a role for connie though

Well, there is a vacancy.
