    From James Heaton@21:1/5 to All on Wed Dec 30 20:55:35 2020
    Did you notice 'Will's stepdad' gave his address as 19 Hammond Road?

    Wonder if he lived there in late 80s/early 90s - who would he have has as a neighbour during that time?

    5 points available if you can name all 5 major character who lived in
    Hammond Rd - and a gold star if you can name the 6th minor character.

    As a clue - 4 of the 6 named have appeared in the last 5 yrs

    Ah - forgot David was born there.

    So it's 7 characters, 6 major 1 minor, 5 of the 7 have appeared in the last
    5 yrs.

    Gail, Nick, Sarah, David - major and regular in past 5yrs
    Martin - major and short appearance in past 5yrs
    Brian - major

    And the minor character - she was a neighbour... and I couldn't remember her name, I was hoping someone would recall her...

    Just taken me thick end of 10min to find her looking through old episodes...

    Ok - it's Pauline Lofthouse, sometimes credited Loftus, played by Judy
    Hawkins, and only 8 appearances (I'd have guessed about 25)

    I must admit to having completely forgotten all about her, so minor was she!
    of course, it is a long time ago now, David has just turned 30. And Jack himself is days away from 33 having played David for almost 20 years. So he must have been 13 looking 10 when he started, because I recall he did look about
    right at the time. I was well up on boys at the time, my son is in his late 30s, and some 13 year olds in his school year had looked 10 and others 18. :-)
