adam436 Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 The great Ron Haddrick, who played the recurring character of Gordon Macklin in the show's early years, passed away yesterday at 90. I loved him as Gordon, but he had so many other iconic roles too RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Ranger 1 Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Looking at IMDb, I see he also played Peter Moss in 1996. I had no idea he was still working until fairly recently, definitely a pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those storylines which sounds absolutely absurd on paper but was actually quite affecting, mainly because everyone involved took it seriously: That last scene of Sally sitting with him as he dies has me welling up thinking about it.

cymbaline Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 His son is Greg Haddrick who used to write for H&A. I never made the connection between the pair, despite the unusual surname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeandawayfan. Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 RIP Ron Haddrick. I preferred his role as Gordon Macklin to his 2nd role as Peter Moss. Gordon was a recurring character for over a year and a ruthless businessman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
