R.I.P. Lew

[przed]

Saw that Lewis Collins was trending on Twitter this morning, and feared the worse. Was absolutely gutted to learn that those fears were justified, and he has passed away.



Pros is the fandom I've been active in the longest, and much of it comes down to the wonderful chemistry between Lewis and Martin Shaw in the show. I was lucky enough to see him years ago doing a regional theatre tour of Dangerous Corner. (I dragged the Sweetie to Croydon to see it.) The play wasn't brilliant, but Lewis was far and away the best thing in it, and clearly enjoyed performing. I now doubly regret not going to the stage door afterwards.

Hugs to all my fellow Pros fans today.

Lovely picture of him - so Lewis, so Bodie :) I think I'm going to have to watch an ep or two tonight, although it'll certainly make me teary. And funny what you say about regretting not going to the stage door - this has decided me to get a ticket for Paul Michael Glaser's run in Fiddler on the Roof, which I had been dithering over.

Hugs back to you too.

I was looking through the pics I had for one to post, and this struck me as the perfect one, a lovely mix of both Bodie and Lewis. Am definitely going to watch an episode tonight.

And I can understand you getting a ticket to Glaser in Fiddler after this. It's really brought home how fleeting our time is.
