  1. you are quite correct that none of them have job offers flooding to them. But then a recurring role in a long-running TV show takes 6 months of your year plus 2 months of promoting. Hannah seems to have done a play which did not go very well, has a part in a female lead Othello at Liverpool, and a role in a radio drama Wuthering Heights. Then there is a children's animated movie , she is one voice in it with SIr Mark Rylance (Oscar winner),. So, even well-accomplished older actors earn their meal ticket with every possible way.
  2. and I got that wrong. These are Charlotte Ricthie's grandparents: Ritchie's maternal grandfather, Stephen McCormack, was the first controller of Anglia Television in Norwich, while her grandmother was the actress Nancy McCormack. With such a pedigree, it is hardly surprising that she joined the National Youth Music Theatre and toured Japan at the tender age of 11. "Wasted on me," she says. "I remember nothing about that trip except for the toilets that automatically flushed." Kate Burton has a daughter with a name Charlotte Ritchie, 20 yrs old, (and a son Morgan, who looks just like Granpa Burton).
  3. It is a different Richard Burton than the actor. Although this Burton was quite a player in the UK as a producer or something. So that may explain her self-confidence in the uncertain terrain on being employable.
  4. Byrony Hannah (Cynthia Miller) was a well-respected stage actress before CtM, praised for acting Keira Knightley out of the stage as a violent teenage girl in The Children's Hour. She got an Olivier Award Nomination for that. She was also on stage with Jessica Raine at the National Theatre. Charlotte Ritchie (Babs) has a long-standing career in comedy and music. The British workforce market offers these viable options for employment for actors. As much as I long for Cynthia, I can see Hannah's decision as wise, especially as she has a child to care. (The child must now be five, so it is easier to take other gigs). As for Jessica Raine, she has had some success in bitchy roles after CtM. But she needs to enlarge her scale. Can you think, she was told she could act only modern roles after theatre school?
  5. Bryony Hannah did 4 episodes of "Unforgotten" last year. As she has been onboard for 6 years, it is not surprising that she would like to expand her career a little.
