Even in her hospital room, she tried to persuade Lucas to run away with her......not that she cared for him at all....he was just expedient.
She was a snob......selfish and elitist and she had no conscience......
and her accent was rubbish!
I agree. Plus "screwing up" your face on the odd occasion does not constitute ACTING. Poor casting - yes - and a badly written character in general. But is she dead? We really only saw a red dot on her head...and Lucas didn't check.
Give him a believable love-interest next time (if there is one), and not some rehashed story from Series 2.

I think we can be confident she's dead. Even if Lucas didn't check, I'm sure someone else did before she went to a morgue!
Any others you didn't like BoHenley?

Yeah I'm getting swayed more and more towards Sarah, just rewatched 8.4 and when she lets off at Lucas "Something's going down you've got Hairy Pearce in the pahm of your haind...." Surprised RA kept a straight face....

..ahh, can you say conspiracy? Nightingale is still lurking around...
and people once thought Ros was dead...
still, the time factor would probably rule out a return from Hades..would there have been enough time between Lucas leaving to speak with Ros and realising that the guard was missing for someone to smuggle in a paralysing little prezzie and a make-up artist??
TPTB must have realised though that she wasn't the biggest favourite and probably wouldn't bring her back.. and plot-wise it wouldn't make any more sense than bringing back Vetotschka...moving on...

LOL! True, it could have been a bindi, they are very fashionable.

Especially of the dripping variety.
I know what you mean though. I'm quite happy to believe she's dead. I doubt the'd bring her back after this series not only because her story is pretty much over but also due to the critical reception she received from the start.

Yeah and a member of Nightingale would totally be wearing a bindi. Think about that irony.

Nice new tag, JHyde! You couldn't live in the US though, acronyms are a way of life here.

I have to say Sarah was the most irritating. I cheered when Lucas said, "You are a liar, murderer, self serving traitor, not just to your country but to humanity in general." Not only was she evil and dating the hottest tortured, troubled spy but her American accent made me cringe every time she opened her mouth, perhaps because I am a Yank and her accent sounded somewhat southern. She was pretending to be good but nothing but evil...I have more respect for those who are outright just evil and self serving, they don't sugar coat.

She's the most consistently "hateable" character - and to suffer through a whole series of her nearly ruined it for me - and I absolutely LOVE Spooks! That she almost dragged down RA with her is unforgiveable.
I'm hoping the Spooks writers and casting people NEVER make that mistake again.
