Yes i agree i think she would be the better choice than Thandie or Lisa as both look very young. She was great as Pat Kerrigan in Bad Girls.

Debra Stephenson from Corrie and Bad Girls and also Simone Lahbib from Bad Girls and Sarah Parish and Sarah Lancashire have also been rumoured to be in running. I'd like to see Zoe Lucker in the role.

Some great actresses being rumoured.

Zoe would have been good, but she's soon to appear in the bbc's Holby Blue, so doubt she wants to be cast as a policewoman in two dramas...

Maxine Peake and Gillian Kearney both from Shameless are also being considered for the role.

I think Maxine is a good choice. I loved her as Veronica in Shameless and she has played a copper before also.

I would prefer Debra Stevenson in the role instead of some of the other names that have been mentioned. Whoever does get the role needs to be a tough cookie to stand up to Gene Hunt.

I'd prefer an unknown to be honest - have some one new play the part. I find myself remembering previous roles (in the case of someone who has been part of one show for a long time) unfortunately, so would like to see some "new blood" come into it

Former 'Spooks' star Keeley Hawes is to star in 'Ashes To Ashes' , replacing John Simm as the lead character in the follow-up to 'Life On Mars'.


The 30-year-old wife of fellow 'Spooks' actor Matthew Macfadyen, and daughter of a London cabbie, will play a modern day woman police officer who wakes to find herself in the early eighties, working with 'Life On Mars' legendarily sexist DCI Gene Hunt, again to be played be Philip Glenister.

That's good, i really like her as an actress

sounds interesting,its a shame sam cant appear at some time

Is gonna be weird though,as has been said before,the whole point of the show was not completely knowing what had happeneed to sam.

Will the 2nd one be as good ? ?:searchme:

Deserves a try at least.

we can only give it a try,as long as gene keeps his dry humour it should be good
