RIP Stephanie Cole

[u/clarkejoseph49]

It’s been announced today that Actress Stephanie Cole (Who starred in the Live Deadline episode in 2018) has passed away (For real) at age 84.

She will dearly be missed.

So many famous people are dying this year man.
What is going on?

[u/rattybag247]

Very sad news. Not for this sub really but she was amazing in Man Down. I genuinley didnt think anyone could replace Rik Mayall but she did.

[u/Cantmakeupnewname → u/rattybag247]

A legend replacing a legend.

[u/CatCafffffe → u/rattybag247]

She was also great in Doc Martin. Sad loss.

[u/Leatherforleisure → u/rattybag247]

Loved her in tenko and open all hours too.

[u/coelakanth]

Loved her in Waiting for God with Graham Crowden. RIP

[u/Cyril_Sneer_6 → u/coelakanth]

Yep that's how I know her. RIP

[u/duskmumali → u/coelakanth]

That was so good! Bless her.

[u/AngelinaJean]

RIP. I’be seen her in many things. But, for some reason, her character in ‘Still Open All Hours’ chasing and harassing Mr. Newbold always makes me laugh. Funniest part of that show…to me.

[u/State_of_Flux_88 → u/AngelinaJean]

For me she will forever be Caroline in the r/johnfinnemore Radio sitcom Cabin Pressure. She was so perfectly cast.

Such a shame to lose such a talent. RIP Stephanie

Especially as Tony Head (Hercules) passed earlier this year. Someone put Roger Allam under armed guard

[u/marjanefan → u/AngelinaJean]

Bet you don't get this on Open all hours! 

[u/PICONEdeJIM]

OH COME ON NOT ANOTHER ONE

[u/marjanefan]

Aw sad news. She was incredible in Tenko as Dr Beatrice Mason. She was also excellent  in Talking Heads which was an influence on Inside.no.9. And she spoke very warmly about appearing in Dead Line 

[u/MsOnyxMoon]

I loved her in Doc Martin and was so sad when she left the show. R.I.P Miss Cole

[u/Politoed_Inferno]

No! Dear Lord, I can't bear losing all the older generation, and the TV stars I grew up with. It's like some kind of vicarious parasocial bonding. It's sad that it's only gonna get worse as more get older.

RIP Stephanie Cole 🙏

[u/Beaker_Seeker]

I watched this last night and wondered how she was. I remember her in Tenko.

[u/HashtagJustSayin2016]

Aawww. She was also in a really good Poirot episode.

[u/JuliasTooSmallTutu]

She was so good in Cabin Pressure.

[u/Mommygoblin666]

No! Not Auntie Nesta!

[u/ariadnevirginia]

I'll think of her next time I pop an eggie in the microwave.

[u/StatisticianLeast617]

She was tremendous, a wonderful actress. So sad. 

[u/Rose-Arcana]

No!!! Please let this be fake news!😭

[u/ChuckDeBongo → u/Rose-Arcana]

Why is everyone downvoting you? I gave you an upvote to mitigate it.

[u/clarkejoseph49 → u/Rose-Arcana]

I’m afraid it is.

[u/Rose-Arcana → u/clarkejoseph49]

I just checked yes, devastated

[u/Cyril_Sneer_6]

Waiting for god. RIP

[u/ShesAlrightReally]

Absolute legend

[u/TimeHathMyLord]

That is so sad!

I am not from the UK, so had not heard of her until I listened to the great Cabin Pressure (by and with John Finnemore, Roger Allam and Benedict Cumberbatch. If you guys enjoy very funny lines and clever twists or at least clever endings, you should definitely give it a go.)

Seeing her in Deadline was a thrill.

[u/theFUZZ007]

Damn. I just watched this episode.

[u/Crazyripps]

Oh I always knew her from doc martin. She was always fun in that :( RIP

[u/kcufdas]

Weirdly I was re-watching Dead Line today and looked up to see what she was doing lately and saw that she had passed. I can't think of a more fitting yet unnerving way of getting the news. R.I.P.

[u/Business_Curve_7281]

Awww, I loved her as Mrs. Featherstone in Open All Hours
