Meet my new TV girlfriend
Posted by David Hepworth on 12 January 2010 - 7:17am.
British actress Eve Best plays Doctor Eleanor O'Hara in "Nurse Jackie". She speaks in a creamy, upper-class drawl, saves lives when she can (but is mainly interested in cutting people open to see what's inside them) and likes to lunch at expensive places before going handbag shopping. She sidles through the hospital in tight skirts and high heels and only says hello to people when she's wearing something new and wants them to notice.
I know it's all made-up but still.....

Does this mean...
...that you've forsaken Tina Fey and her out of Mad Men? Sooo fickle.
It seems only fair...
...to spread my affection around.
My new TV girlfriend
is the ginger lass who plays the teacher in Glee.
I've heard she fancies me as well, so it's working out well.
But, but...
she told me that I was the only one she was interested in!
same here,
she is so packed.
Tina from Corrie, I'm back baby.
Her eyes are too big for her face
She looks like that Eels cover:

Your just reading this
on your i phone waiting for your Vogue Homme cover shoot I suppose?
Indeed
Never got over her......
From the moment she announced that she wanted to be Steve Carrell's character's "fuck buddy" in the 40 Year Old Virgin!
From a staid electronics shop manageress it was a bit of jaw dropper
One of those times when
you're better advised to use the word television rather than the abbreviation TV, lest you be misunderstood...
It's Above Suspicion's Kelly Reilly for me
Far too beautiful to be a policewoman.
At the very moment you posted
I was looking around for a suitable photo of Ms Reilly to go with my suggestion, then realised I couldn't upload one.
Top top quality.
She Is
something else

I "heart" her...
...and met her briefly when she was co starring with David Tennant in Look Back In Anger in Edinburgh a good few years ago. When my gaping mouth was again capable of sensible comments I remember squeaking nothing memorable to her at all. It was not the start of a torrid, life changing love affair in any shape or form. (Sighs)
P.S. She's great in Eden Lake, a brilliant wee horror film
Stunning.
Doesn't she appear...
...as the young version of one of the characters in the movie of "Last Orders"? One of the few times I've felt like reaching for the expression "incandescently beautiful". In fact, here she is.
Dead bunnies
the explanation of why she is a doctor but Jackie is a nurse is the funniest thing on tv for me so far this year.
Nurse Jackie
We are having a catch up evening on it tonight. It looks great. I love Sky+.
She is delightful
also so far as steered clear of a toe curling cultural gaffs see the episode of ER where loads of "English" lads suffered from cheese rolling injuries!
She is brilliant...
...but her face is too weird to be fancied.
Suits me
You're one less I have to compete with.
Believe me...
...I'm no kind of competition.
nurse jackie
is very good, but will one half episode a week work?
I saw her first, Hepworth!
Well, probably at the same time.
Did anyone else find the use of the C word in last night's episode really unnecessary and unpleasant, or am I just a delicate flower? A delicate flower in need of a posh English doctor...
Gentlemen.....I believe there is a queue.........
And you chaps are behind me. No cuts.
NB - I'm sure I've seen her in an English TV series but for the life of me can't place her.
Anyone else like the little touch of Father Phil (Eddie) finally getting his wicked way with Carmela (NJ)??
Father Phil
Yes, I've only watched the first episode so far but it made me smile greatly.
She's been in some clunkers
Prime Suspect, Inspector Lynley, Waking the Dead, Casualty, The Bill etc.
Full list here:

In American drama....
...it tends to be used by women.
sorry
but it's Nurse Jackie herself that bothers my ballbearings..Edie Falco
has the eyes the eyes..but then again I heard she bats for the other team.. and so another Bingham dream endeth!
Glynis Barber
is back on our screens. I'm reminded of coming over all unnecessary back in the 80s when Dempsey And Makepeace was on.
And in the cinema another 80s TV girlfriend is back in the shape of Joanne Whalley.
ah.
I'm with David.
She is rather terribly, terribly sexy in a femme fatale Linda Fiorentino Last Seduction sort of way. But posh as well.
I bet she's filthy.
You boys carry on
I'll be over there with Peri Gilpin all to myself
I think she was spoken for ages ago round
here in the great "Ros or Daphne (no you can't have both) debate"
She was
By me. She's mine I tell you.
Mwahahahahahaaaaaaa
Difference is with Roz we *know* she's filthy....
....Eve keeps us guessing.
Guessing?
Or hoping?
Yes
And it saves soooo much time.
