Ever seen any actors from the show either pre or post GS, besides from Only Fools And Horses? I've started this thread as I've been watching The Last Detective which features Emma Amos.  |

I've seen Dervla a couple of times. Recently she has been in Doctor Who as a baddie in a Christmas special in 2009. I also saw her play a cold bitchy fashion woman. It's sad to see her play hag type characters...she will always be the youthful girl next door from GS for me.  Liz was obviously in Casualty. I wasn't a fan of the show, but it would often be on in the background when I was doing a research masters. I had a bit of a crush on her from that show, without knowing who she was. Later, I started watching GS on DVD, and had another crush on Liz without knowing that it was the same actress! It was funny when I figured it out! It's a shame people have to age...both girls are no longer playing sweet, innocent characters. It's sad. |

Same goes from Liz, though Casualty isn't a good show in my opinion. I also watched her in a show called Boon from the late 80s - early 90s, that was good but it hasn't been on TV for two years. |

I've never seen Boon. Liz must have been very young when she did that. I agree with you about Casualty, though I have to give Liz credit; she was very good in that show. I had a quick look at clips of it on youtube a minute ago to refresh my memory. It's basically a lower budget version of Grey's Anatomy; in other words, artificial conflict and ridiculous plot lines!
I don't think Liz has been in anything since Casualty, other than a brief cameo in my favourite footie movie, The Damned United. The 70's look didnt suit her... she's much better looking as a 1940's woman!
I havent seen Chris (Reg) in anything before or after GS. I'd imagine he's more of a stage actor. Ryan, what do you think of Emma's new show? I haven't seen it.

Ryan, what do you think of Emma's new show? I haven't seen it. I think Liz was 22 when she first started in Boon, appearing in Seasons 4, 5 and 6. As for Emma's new show, I do not know what you are referring too. What is her new show? |

Oh, I thought The Last Detective was a current and on-going show. My mistake. What was Liz like in Boon? Any similarity to Pheobe? I'd imagine not. Probably the opposite...

Her character was called Laura Marsh, she begins to work for Boon after being fired from her previous job as a Receptionist for a Radio Station. If there were any similarities between Laura Marsh and Phoebe then it would be both wanted a bit of adventure in their lives. I've put up a link to Liz's first episode of Boon: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph2XNthddIY&feature=channel_video_title |
