    Jez aka Lee Boardman played a major role in the two 'Rome' series.:)

    That was very nice Timon:o

    He has also done loads of other things

    He recently appeared in BBC daytime drama 'Secrets and Words' along with his real-life wife Jennifer James (who played Geena Gregory back in the early Noughties).

    Who could forgot that sex scene that he had with Polly Walker on Rome:eek:

    Michelle Ryan has done pretty good for herself despite the failure Stateside of The Bionic Woman reboot. I think she actually counts as a post soap success.

    She's doing okay, I guess. I've seen her in a couple of films - 4.3.2.1 and something else. But she hasn't really "made it" yet.

    Since The Bill was axed, there's nowhere for them to go.


    Yeah, there used to be a few programmes known as a refuge for soap actors cos so many of them turned up in them, but a lot have finished how. The likes of Heartbeat, The Royal, Where the heart is, The Bill ...

    Now there's only Holby City and Casualty .... though Scott and Bailey seems to employ a lot of ex-soap actors. Three of them are 'stars' of the show!

    Barbara Windsor, with those b!oody bingo ads!

    Here main talent used to be that she got her tits out at a time when not many others did that - I don't suppose this will get her very far these days, so I can't see her do much until her inevitable shrieking return to EE :rolleyes:

    That's obviously a matter of opinion, but at the very least you can hardly get more typecast than her, which should limit her potential.

    She has three projects (that we know off) coming up in the coming months.

    - Sky's Bedlam series 2

    - ITV's new supernatural drama Switch

    -BBC Three's True Love

    She is doing very well for herself actually.


    And as for Letitia Dean, she has been quite successful in the theatre part of the acting world. She did a long stint in Calender Girls and obviously she does Panto regularly, which must pay her very well.



    Oh no she doesn't:D:D:D:eek:
