Suranne Jones - the most miserable looking actress on British TV.


She was miserable in 'Coronation Street', in 'Unforgiven', in 'Scott and Bailey' and in 'The Crimson Field' and in this one too she looks like she'd crack her jaw if she smiled. Please, somebody, give the poor dear a jolly role for a change.

I agree. Every comment I see apart from yours and mine is that Suranne is a great actress.

I have yet to see it. She's the same in everything she does.

Acting is more than looking glum and ready to cry.

It staggers me how she gets work. There is nothing special about her at all.

Agreed

Disagree entirely - haven't seen her in the other things but she's totally convinced me in this. And, as Dr Foster, she really has done 'smiling' too!

I think it makes her appear more real because she looks sullen.
I love her work. Everything she has ever done has been brilliant
Hate happy smiley people!! So unrealistic!!

Well I'm a smiling happy chappy but I thought Suranna's performance as a sullen soggybottom was great.

Od dear god are you one of those people who goes around telling women to smile all the time.

You should see her as the Tardis in Dr Who then. Season 6 (of the new lot) episode 4 The Dr's Wife -She is brilliant and not miserable

reply

She was miserable when she died in Doctor Who!

It's that man again!!

reply

Doesn't count. Most people would be miserable looking when they know they're dying.

Hey Don (& TY 4 all the great story plots!)

I agree...and don't you think in Dr. Foster, Ms. Jones is just
playing Rachel Bailey again? sigh.... on to better shows!

She's a terrific actress and she smiles quite often, whenever smiling is appropriate. People who are obsessed with other people smiling and go around telling them to do so are tiresome.
