His wife Fiona (Indira Varma) is also on board as she seeks a new challenge after growing frustrated with her job as a chef. Upon their arrival John bonds with neighbour Tommy (Ewen Bremner), who is husband to the local vicar (Eve Myles) and the self-appointed leader of the village's all-male book group.

THE WALKING DEAD's Scott Gimple Says Don't Count on THE ONES WHO LIVE Season 2, but That Doesn't Mean It's Over — GeekTyrant
With The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon already on its second season and Dead City set to return in May, fans have been wondering about the future of The Ones Who Live . The limited series brought back Rick and Michonne for a long-awaited reunion, but is there more to their story? So far, AMC hasn't announced a renewal, and based on recent comments from The Walking Dead 's chief content officer Scott Gimple, it sounds like we shouldn't expect one. He said: "I mean, the plan was to keep it limited.' Reinforcing the idea that The Ones Who Live was always meant to be a one-off. But that doesn't necessarily mean we've seen the last of Rick and Michonne. He added: "Not necessarily never to see those characters again, but to keep it limited. But I always say, you never know." The series, starring Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira, follows Rick and Michonne years after they were separated in the main show. Rick, a reluctant prisoner of the Civic Republic Military, is finally reunited with Michonne, and together, they take on the CRM's questionable plans for rebuilding civilization. Gimple, however, isn't shutting the door completely. "There's so many... I've been very careful to not say, 'Oh, that'll never happen,' because it does. "So you know, there are possibilities. And there's possibilities of all sorts of strange iterations of shows with those characters and with other characters. So you know, I think it's entirely possible." Lincoln also previoiusly weighed in on the possibility of reprising the role of Rick again at some point in the future, saying: "This, for me, felt that we could comfortably say that that's done.' He continued: 'That's a reunion; that's the perfect iteration of a story that I thought wasn't gonna happen for a time, and then Danai and Scott both said, 'We need to reunite, we've got to do an epic love story.' "I went, 'That's a great idea – and let's tell the story of the CRM and do what the grown-ups have been doing' and maybe some filling in, because I love all of that.' He went on to say that he's not counting out a possible return: "I'm a bit of a geek for all of the mythology and what's going on, what's been happening. So the short answer is never say never. 'Because if there's a good enough place to put Rick in, that we haven't seen before, there are characters out in the universe that I would love to act with again. But it has to be a really, really, really good story." We'll just have to wait and see how things continue to play out in the franchise. While The Ones Who Live might not get a second season, it sounds like this isn't the last time we'll see Rick and Michonne in action. Source: The Direct

I starred in one of the nineties' biggest TV shows but ditched fame for a completely different job - I've been through hell but I don't regret it
This Life hit our screens in 1996 on BBC Two and went on to become a huge fan favourite. The TV drama, created by Amy Jenkins, went on to have two series which broadcast between 996 and 1997. It followed the lives of five law graduates trying to navigate their lives after university, played by Amita Dhiri, Jack Davenport, Andrew Lincoln, Jason Hughes and Daniela Nardini. Some of the star-studded cast decided to stick with their acting, but Daniela ended up doing something totally different. Scottish actress Daniela played Anna Forbes in the hit show and went on to receive a BAFTA for Best Actress in 1998. She reprised her role for the TV movie This Life +10 in 2006 to celebrate the show's 10 year anniversary. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. After This Life, Daniela landed roles in the likes of Quite Ugly One Morning, Sirens, Lewis, Vera and Waterloo Road. But nowadays she is doing something very different. Daniela is now a qualified and practicing psychotherapist. She also has her own CBT practice in Glasgow, Scotland. Her profile on Psychology Today reads: 'I have worked as an actress for over 35 years. 'This has been an invaluable education for me to study what it is to be human and how we can all suffer at times and feel misunderstood and lonely. 'I myself have struggled at times. 'My practice involves helping you gain insight, clarity and believe it or not humour at times. 'I don't shock easily so I won't judge.' It adds: 'I can help firstly by listening to you. 'Often we feel unheard or feel shame because we are struggling. 'I am here to listen without judgement and to offer you compassion and kindness. 'Together we can work out a plan that will help you feel more in control and able to make the changes you want to happen as well as working at your own pace. ' Her types of therapy include acceptance and commitment, cognitive behavioural, compassion focused, creative therapy, person-centered and positive psychology. Daniela's top specialties include depression, anxiety and behavioural issues, and has expertise in addiction, cancer, divorce, family conflict and parenting. The actress can use the tough times in her life to resonate with others after losing her father in 2015, followed by a divorce and a cancer diagnosis in 2018. Back in 2020 Daniela opened up to us about the 'worst five years of her life'. She said: 'I went through a very dark period. 'Sometimes I wonder if it was all the emotional stuff I was going through that caused my cancer. 'A couple of years down the road, I now feel as if I've emerged stronger and a better person really. 'Anna would be proud.' Speaking about This Life, she added: 'I love that people still enjoy the series. 'But This Life feels like another life now. It was very exciting and intoxicating at the time. 'We all got quite famous through it, quickly, which was a shock and a little bit terrifying. 'I don't miss any of it though. 'I'm glad I experienced it but I don't crave it. What I do crave is good work. It's quite hard to find work that excites you and speaks to you.

‘I was on one of the biggest TV shows in the 90s, but I ditched fame ten years ago for a very different job'
IN the 90s, TV show This Life launched the careers of some of the UK's biggest stars. While Andrew Lincoln went on to star in the Walking Dead, and Jack Davenport appeared in Pirates of the Caribbean – their co-star chose a completely different career path. 8 8 8 Now Daniela Nardini, who became a fan favourite on the show as straight-talking lawyer Anna Forbes on the show, is now a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT), living life away from the spotlight in Glasgow. Daniela, now 57, was beloved as Anna on the smash-hit series, which launched in 1996 and followed a group of five friends as they navigated their twenties after graduating law school. The series saw the gang living together in East London as they try to get their foot on the career ladder, with Anna having a love-hate relationship with Miles (Jack Davenport), whom she had a fling with while studying. Daniela appeared in 32 episodes of the series, before reuniting with the cast in for TV movie This Life +10, marking the show's 10th anniversary in 2006. The role won her a BAFTA for Best Actress in 1998. While she continued to act – starring in multiple episodes of Waterloo Road, plus episodes of Vera and Lewis on her credit list – her performance career later took a backseat to events in her personal life. In 2020, Daniela told the Daily Mail she had endured 'the worst five years of her life', revealing her father died in 2015, she got divorced shortly after, before being diagnosed and treated for breast cancer in 2018, getting a mastectomy. She told the site: 'I went through a very dark period. Sometimes I wonder if it was all the emotional stuff I was going through that caused my cancer. 'A couple of years down the road, I now feel as if I've emerged stronger and a better person really. Anna would be proud.' However, she noted that her time on This Life feels like 'another life now', and doesn't miss the fame that came with it. Trailer for 90s Brit drama series This Life During her recovery, Daniela turned to art therapy to help her process her cancer diagnosis, admitting she 'lost interest in performing'. 'Not because I felt physically I was not right, but I just felt mentally and emotionally not ready,' she explained. 'Acting is a very personal thing for me, as I suppose it is for other actors. But you've only got yourself to use and if there's not much 'self' there to use, it's futile even trying. At its worst, I would have struggled to even remember a line.' Proud of where she is in her life, Daniela said she came forward with her diagnosis in order to encourage others to get their breasts checked. 8 8 'It took a lot of pain and heartache to get here. But I'm a survivor and I feel strong,' she said. 'I feel like I'm finally the woman I wanted to be.' After launching her CBT practice from her home in Glasgow, Daniela explained that she felt being an actress helped her understand people on a more fundamental level. 'I have worked as an actress for over 35 years. This has been an invaluable education for me to study what it is to be human and how we can all suffer at times and feel misunderstood and lonely,' she wrote on her psychologist bio. 'I myself have struggled at times. My practice involves helping you gain insight, clarity and believe it or not humour at times. I don't shock easily so I won't judge.' 8 8 8
