About Gillian Taylforth in brief
Gillian Taylforth is an English actress. She is best known for her role as Kathy Beale on the BBC soap opera EastEnders. She has also appeared as Jackie Pascoe-Webb on ITV’s Footballers’ Wives and as Sgt. Nikki Wright in ITV’s The Bill. She appeared as a celebrity contestant on Strictly Come Dancing in 2008. In January 2013, she was a contestant in Celebrity Big Brother. From May 2013 she played Sandy Roscoe on Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks, but left in Summer 2014, and returned in December to again leave with Joe Roscoe in January 2015. She started her acting career in the 1970s and before securing her big break she worked as a secretary between minor roles. In 1980, she won the role of Sherry in the film The Long Good Friday, which proved to be extremely successful at the box office.
She made her first screen appearance on November 8, 2006, playing Lily Searle in the comedy Blankety Blank. In a Channel 4 poll for the 100 Greatest Sexy Moments, Cristian Solimeno was placed at number 49, which made her the only member of the cast to appear in every series without taking a break. In 2006, she played the roles of Mandy Searle and Jane Hall on the comedy Jane Hall and she also has appeared on panellist Loose Women. In 2005, press rumours suggested she was returning to the show, but this did not occur and the character of Kathy died off-screen in February 2006 in a car crash in South Africa. In 2013, Taylf Forth said it was a mistake to ‘kill off’ her character and expressed an interest in coming ‘back from the dead’.
