Amanda Burton says: I am so excited to be returning to Silent Witness and stepping back into Sam Ryans shoes - with a difference! Shes basically his mentor and I really enjoyed that dynamic., As for Sam: She isnt as troubled as she used to be, she seems to have accepted that her life is like this shes single, shes forty-something and shes fine with that., Being a co-producer has meant Amanda has been more closely involved in the show than ever before. The 60-year-old Northern Irishwoman is dabbing her eyes, struggling for words. Amanda Burton plays Carole Latimer. Listen, cuts in Amanda, I dont believe in accepting a job that takes me away from my family for large chunks of time and then spending eight months moaning about it. Asked if he could see himself as a doctor in real life, Kevin thinks it over for a moment. I do admire her, Amanda admits. And yet blushes when he tells you, It amazes me when the term sex symbol is used about meIm a reluctant sex symbol. Simon, whose early film and TV roles were floppy-haired aristocratic types, such as Lord Alfred Douglas in Lillie, was propelled into Hunk-of-the-month-dom with poisonous Piers in Chancer. I will do everything I can to make sure nothing can get in the way of us getting back together.". This job is great. And bizarrely, her 53-year-old boyfriend, Stephen Colover, is an acclaimed photographer - just like her philandering ex, Arnstein. He made the job appear effortless, even though he covered a vast area as much as we do at The Beeches. 'He is completely genuine and just an all-round great guy - what you see is what you get. It was magical..

Its very pretty. Its lovely sometimes though, and it makes a bad day worthwhile if somebody comes up and says how much they enjoy the programme and how much it means to them. Something else the trio have in common is a family life where children play a prominent role. He did get back with Amanda for a while, but they quickly realised that it wouldn't work. In the third series, hes a changed man, more honest, more dynamic, stronger, although he and Sarah are not back together as a couple but will they be? Its funny because I was talking to the driver on the way in this morning about it, so when I was filming this morning I did a little bit of an arched eyebrow just for Jennifer!. It would have been too difficult to film with small children around., The wedding may go smoothly, but will Jack and Beths marriage be suitable for young viewers to see? I love working on Peak Practice and I loved working on Morse but Auf Wiedersehen Pet was very special Kevin says. It takes practice for women to lust after you. They were very funny scripts and, somehow, I had less responsibility in those days. Kevin has very happy memories of the series but admits, It could so easily have gone horribly wrong if wed had a very strict director and floor manager. Perhaps its those gentle caring eyes and the smooth bedside manner but after years of playing Inspector Morses dull sidekick Lewis, cuddly Kevin Whately has become an overnight sex symbol. But shes also quite vulnerable at times, with a very sensitive side, and in this new series shes definitely softer. I never think, Hey, Ive cracked this! says Amanda. While filming, thermals and long johns are a definite must! His feelings for Sarah bordered on the obsessive and as much as he tried to get over the affair, he couldn't. Amanda joins fellow cast members Emilia Fox (Nikki Alexander), David Caves (Jack Hodgson) and Genesis Lynea (Simone Tyler) for six brand new episodes which will mark the 25th Anniversary of the hugely popular prime time BBC One drama. When I gave up accountancy, says Kevin, I never considered TV, I hoped to become a theatre actor.

Youve got to hold all the instruments correctly, and above all youve got to look confident., At one point during filming, Amanda herself needed medical attention. Temperatures soared and pulses raced at the end of the last series of Peak Practice when Dr Jack Kerruish and Dr Beth Glover sealed their on-off romance by finally getting married. All images courtesy of Carlton, Central, ITV & UKTV. Burton confirmed her exit from the BBC One . Northern Ireland-born Miss Burton was accused of having an affair with fellow actor Kevin Whately in 1993 when they both appeared in Peak Practice. This time around, Sam has two new colleagues working alongside her at the University pathology lab Dr Leo Dalton, played by William Gaminara, and Harry Cunningham, played by Tom Ward. He was how I would have liked to have been. I do a lot of driving at strange hours so that I can see the children in the morning before they go to school., Kevin, who researched the role of Dr Kerruish by spending time with his own GP, is emphatic: The luck of my job, and Madeleines job, is that we can work for condensed periods and then have a lot of time off. BBC Studios handle global distribution. All images courtesy of Carlton, Central, ITV & UKTV. I read in the papers that Im a sex symbol, grins the actor who will soon be seen as an army officer in Beyond Reason. But exactly one year after splitting from Sven Arnstein for the second time, the 50-year-old Silent Witness star has found new love. Has the role brought Amanda lots of public recognition? In 1982 she starred as Heather Huntington in her first movie Brookside (TV Series). It would be hellish on a long-running series if you didnt have a good relationship with your co-stars., What they all have in common is a pastoral background and a love of the country. Still, Amanda is pleased that the programme doesnt shy away from showing the more grisly aspects of a forensic pathologists work, which she feels are missing from other shows. The stars are in no doubt as to why the most successful doctor series since Dr Kildare in he 1960s has caught the nations heart. Obviously I was aware of a lot of it before; you cant be in the business and not realise what it takes to make a show, but it was great to be involved in the whole process and see stories that have come through development all the way to the final edit and to have more input into the characters.. Amanda, 38, who amassed a huge following of male admirers as the sexy, intellectual accountant Heather Haversham in Brookside and as tough detective Margaret Daly in Boon, is equally ecstatic. I really enjoy spending time in the county and Ive got to now a lot more of it by going on walks and nature trails, she says. It came as a bit of a shock for a few people when they realised who she was. He was much more laid-back than Jack Kerruish. All images courtesy of Carlton, Central, ITV & UKTV. Personally, I dont think either Beth or Jack should change a lot. In the first series, he was a dreamer and had a nervous breakdown, he says. Amanda is full of praise for Kevin We feel relaxed with each other and thats what chemistry is about. Youll just have to wait and see. She adds with a wry smile.
