Lesley Joseph, a star from the popular TV series “Birds of a Feather,” has shared an update on her co-star Pauline Quirke’s health. Earlier this year, Pauline’s husband revealed that she has been diagnosed with dementia, leading her to step back from her acting career.
Acknowledging Pauline’s contributions to the entertainment industry and her successful performing arts academy, Lesley expressed that Pauline has been an inspiration to many. Despite not providing specific details about Pauline’s current condition, Lesley mentioned that Pauline is doing “okay” when questioned by Woman Magazine.
While plans are in place for Lesley to visit Pauline, the trio, which also includes Linda Robson, known for their roles in “Birds of a Feather,” will not reunite on screen due to Pauline’s health. However, there have been discussions about Lesley and Linda potentially teaming up for a comedy show in the future.
In a recent interview, Linda disclosed that Pauline no longer recognizes anyone, including her closest friends. Linda expressed deep sadness over the situation, emphasizing the devastating impact of dementia. Despite the challenges, she mentioned that Pauline occasionally has good days.
Reflecting on a poignant moment, Lesley shared her emotional reaction upon learning that Pauline had asked for her during a family conversation. Linda also recounted her initial concerns about Pauline’s health when she stopped returning calls, leading to the revelation of her condition three years ago.
Both Lesley and Linda have shown support for Pauline during this difficult time, highlighting the importance of respecting the family’s privacy regarding her health issues.
