Caroline Corcoran was funny today about the character of Linda. While praising the actor's performance, CC suggested Linda might get a warmer welcome from Nick - given his recent taste in women - or at least a glass of merlot on the house.
ReplyDeleteShe's an attractive lady, sort of a cross between Louise Jameson and a Nolan Sister LOL. I like her already.
ReplyDeleteYes she is attractive enough but so far as been very wooden and unsympathetic as the long lost Mrs Armstrong. Have zero interest in her and her past frankly.
ReplyDeleteI remember her most as Lorraine Wicks in Eastenders.
ReplyDeleteshe doesn't seem to have aged all that much in the years that have past.
As a viewer in Canada need to wait a while before we see Linda. But from what I have seen she seems way out of Owen's league in the looks department.
