It was 'incredibly sad'
Dame Maureen Lipman has spoken about how the tearjerking death of her onscreen dog brought back recent memories of the loss of her own pet of 16 years.
Maureen says: “The animal looked so hangdog on its last day, I swear he knew the storyline. It was incredibly sad. One of the girls in make-up asked if I needed a tear stick. I told her I needed something to stop me crying, not start me.” “Last year, my 16-year-old dog Diva had to be put down. She’d been coughing for weeks so I knew it was the end.
The loss of her pet in the soap inevitably drives a wedge in Evelyn’s relationship with Roy. “She’s not a very forgiving person but, on the other hand, Roy is the nearest thing she has to a friend. They’re on opposite ends of the same spectrum.”Maureen is about to uncover new layers of grief when she brings her searing performance of Rose to the West End in a two-hour monologue by playwright Martin Sherman.
