YES!

*does the dance of being right*

My suspicions about Mrs. Hunt totally confirmed!

*does the dance of being right and also being smug about it*

EDIT: Also, Phyllis was apparently an angel, not another dead copper. Personally, I cannot tell you how much I adore the idea of an angel who'd make that joke about Gene's mam and the guide dog. :) Yay,

I APPROVE OF THIS INFORMATION. It's never contradicted in LoM canon, though, really? Wow.

[qthewetsprocket]

Nope. We never actually see her in either show; people (mianly Gene) just talk about her when she's not there.

I always said I thought she didn't really exist...that she was like Maris Crane, only not actually real. :)

EDIT: Much squee-worthy news has been added to my original post - I am already saving my money. :D

I thought Chris or Ray had mentioned meeting her at some point, but my rewatch was a while ago now; I am happy to be wrong!

The novels, I don't know, I am usually a lot happier reading actual fanfiction.

Anyway, I do appreciate your having Twitter so that I don't have to. ;)

A while back Matthew Graham wrote a Life on Mars short story for the Daily Mail as a Christmas present for the fans, and I quite enjoyed that. So if he's willing to write a whole novel? I am SO there. Even maybe if Sam's not in it...though obviously, it would be INFINITELY BETTER if he were.

Lemme see if I can find the link...aha! Here we go. :)

And I suck at Twitter; but it is worth it for the occasional fandom gems. The people RP'ing the Ashes characters are absolutely brilliant and a total blast to tweet with...they've helped with my A2a grief/withdrawl more than it's probably socially prudent for me to say. :)

I don't do Twitter myself, but I have had Ian Wylie's Twitter on my bookmark for a year or so, and when Ashes started I added Deano, Keeley and Matthew. Stopped reading those last week, but it looks like I shall have to go back to reading Matthew's!

He's in a very chatty mood today, bless him. Yay for secret writery tidbits! Btw, I just added another bit of backstory about Phyllis to the post. If there really are guardian angels, she is exactly the sort I want in my corner. :)

Bugger!

Don't feel bad, I hear Lucien's library is looking for part-time staff. Great place to meet people; libraries.

Vraiment.

[missus_hunt]

Phwoar!

[hambelandjemima]

Lol, love the idea of Phyllis being an angel. That calls out to be iconised *g*

[wee_mango]

Gene Hunt novels?!? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. :D
