Nolly cast revealed for new ITV drama

Here’s a full run down of who’s on the cast of new ITV drama Nolly.

Helena Bonham Carter, celebrated for her Academy Award-nominated and BAFTA-winning performances, takes on the role of Noele (or ‘Nolly’ to those close to her), a figure renowned in her own era.

Portraying the vibrant, red-haired widow Meg Richardson in the enduring soap opera ‘Crossroads’, she became one of Britain’s most recognisable faces. However, in 1981, amid the show’s soaring popularity and at the pinnacle of Nolly’s celebrity, she was abruptly dismissed without any formal notice or justification.

Confronted with the dismissive phrase “all good things must come to an end”, Noele Gordon found herself unceremoniously ousted from the series that had been her world for more than 18 years.
