Lee Williams and Richard Armitage


Why are Lee Williams and Richard Armitage both down to play Percy Courtney? Quite Bizarre! Both have been pictured in the press with Jessie Wallace one is rumoured and the other is attached. Maybe Lee Williams plays Marie Lloyd's second husband, anyone else hazard a guess??

They have it wrong. Richard is playing Percy. Lee is playing Marie's best friend Freddie

I thought Tom Ellis was down to play her husband too ?

Just to confirm her husbands were played as follows:

Number 1 Percy Courtney played by Richard Armitage
Number 2 Alec Hurley played by Matthew Marsh
Number 3 Bernard Dillon played by Tom Payne

And her assistant Freddie was indeed played by Lee Williams.

I thought Freddie was her brother and remained with her as her assistant.

Maybe, I'm not sure about that?!?

I'm surprised they cast two actors who look so similar to one another as far as features are concerned. There were times I had to look twice to make sure who was who on the screen.

Yep, they do look alike, and both look somewhat younger than Jessie W.

I had to look very closely, esp. in the beginning of the show, to make sure that i didn't mix them up:)
