May be retiring from acting


Following a recent bout of cancer, Ms Walters has decided to retire. However, she also admits to "never say never" if the right role comes along.

One of my favorites.

She is fantastic. I hope that she will have good health and decide to do something

Well she’s had quite the career and is a genuine national treasure in the UK.

Somehow I doubt this is the end of the line for her - I would expect to see her back on our screens from time to time, perhaps simply a little less prolifically than she has been the past few decades.

I agree completely on her being a national treasure.

reply

Never say never, hon!

If she does go ahead and retire, she has my full support and best wishes, she's been through a rough time and probably needs some time to enjoy life. But if that right role ever comes along, I'd be delighted to see her perform again.

My sentiments exactly.

She's fantastic. I hope she recovers well.

reply

Same here! I haven't seen everything she's done, but everything I've seen her in she's been amazing.

Best to her! I just caught on YT an old 2002 tv series she did called "Murder" that someone kindly loaded up and made available.

Thought I'd also seen everything of hers but apparently not.

She was her usual specatular self in it as a grieving mother of a murdered son.

It was about 300 minutes, so a long one by Abi Morgan, a great writer. But worth it---what a cast! David Morrisey, Imelda Staunton, William Ash, Robert Glenister, Om Puri....and more! A real who's who.

As for the murderer.....the Plod shoulda known! Apparently, the cop shop all needed to go to Specsavers...........
