BLOOD WEDDING
MAIN CHARACTERS/ROLES
PHOTO - COPYRIGHT JOAN STREET
The Hon. Edward Fitzroy - Charles Edwards
Edward Fitzroy, known as Ned, is
35 and the current head of the family. His love for Beth Porteous has
been no secret. He's a firm believer in family honour and in the
innate superiority of England's old families.
The Hon. Henry Fitzroy - Mark Umbers
At 33, Harry is the younger son
and behaves as younger sons of great families often do. He's a bit of
a wastrel and plays little or no part in the upkeep of the estate.
Unsurprisingly, he is also a charmer.
Beth Porteous - Elisabeth Dermot Walsh
Beth is in her early 30s and also
from an old Midsomer family. Ned's feelings for Beth have been
evident for a long time, although until now she has deflected his
proposals of marriage.
Robin Lawson - Martin Wenner
Robin was brought up on the
Fitzroy estate and his father was estate manager before him. He lives
in a grace and favour house annexed to Bledlow Hall.
Marcus Fitzroy - Nicholas Palliser
The Reverend Marcus Fitzroy is
uncle to Ned and Harry. Marcus is continuing the family tradition of
a Fitzroy having the living attached to the Bledlow Estate.
Randall Colquhoun - Simon Paisley Day
A family friend to the Fitzroys
since childhood, Randall also believes the old families of England
are better than the common herd. He lives to play the stock market.
Marina Fellowes - Beth Chalmers
Marina, Beth's maid of honour, is
in her 30s. It's not generally known that Marina carried a torch for
Ned Fitzroy - though it's no secret to some.
Mary Cooper - Veronica Roberts
The cook at Bledlow Hall, Mary is
a no-nonsense woman who knows more about the family she works for
than they might imagine.
Sally Fielding - Emma Cunniffe
The housekeeper at the hall, Sally
is efficient and gets on generally well with the family. She is
single and takes a shine to Jones, who is not slow to respond, nor to
use their budding relationship to get some inside track on the Fitzroys.
Peggy Benson - Denyse Alexander
In her early 70s, Peggy was cook
at Bledlow Hall when Sir Gerald and Lady Caroline Fitzroy were young.
She was also the local midwife.
Maurice Morrison - Patrick Barlow
Maurice is a wedding organiser to
the rich and famous.
