Richard O'Sullivan was, of course, also romantically involved previously with Sally Thomsett, his former co-star from Man about the House, but on another, more poignant note, prompted by a comment made by @BTRFTG concerning his health I had a quick look on WIKI to see that Richard O'Sullivan is indeed in poor health, having suffered a stroke as long ago as 2003. How unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Haha, didn,t we all want to be Robin Tripp in the 70's. And Sally Thomsett was the one that we would all have been after too. I don't think Robin ever quite succeeded. I knew that Richard had been suffering from dementia for some time but not that he had had a stroke.

I don't want to hijack or even sidetrack the thread, but, as it is slightly Bristol related, does anybody recall the beautiful Nina Baden-Semper from the 1970s serial Love the Neighbour? We used to have quite a thing going back in the day - I was in my early/mid-teens at the time - and then she married and moved in to a house nearby: I have never been so dumbstruck as the day I met her in a local supermarket.

bert tann Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Oh my, how this has turned into a delightful trip down memory lane.
