I agree. Very sad.
shareOh my goodness, how did I miss this last year?
I thought she and Robin were done really dirty when they were dropped from the newer production. I haven't watched it and have no interest in watching it due to this.

I was in the same boat, NRG! A couple months ago, I was looking something up on the Poldark cast list, when I stumbled upon the news about Angharad. My partner and I were watching a DVD; I startled her by sobbing in the background. I felt as though I had lost a dear friend. After all the tragedies AR suffered, it just seemed so unfair for her to die so young just at the height of her creative powers with her jewelry business. It also felt spooky for her to die within a year or so of her ex-husband, Christopher Cazenove, who also left us way too soon. Watching Poldark again this week feels so bittersweet.

And to NEVER see Ralph Bates, nor Richard Morant, ever again, in action, too. Two classy gents, to have welcomed Angharad, on that Stairway to Heaven.
shareOh, yes! I felt equally heartbroken to hear of their untimely deaths. At least Mary Wimbush and Paul Curran enjoyed longer lives, though Paul was not all that old.

And, all Paul and Mary had to do, was just show their mugs on camera, and I'd involuntarily start twitching with laughter.
My all-time favorite scenes of Jud, was his return "from the dead"; Zacky, Will Nanfan, and others, are jeering him, cat-calling him, outside, and Jud's braying like a traumatized donkey! Then, those docs want to "test" Jud's consciousness. They fire a pistol, with an overly-crammed charge, next to Jud's ear. He then cuts loose, like a banshee version of Louis Armstrong, whilst the docs merely register quizzical poker face expressions!
And, I always wanted Ross to toss Jud into the dungheap, again, and again, and again.
And something must have been amiss with Sir Hugh, when he ogled and praised Prudie's bum, rather than Demelza's!
