4. Patricia Hayes as Flo – A hugely fun character who really made me laugh. I love her scenes with Claude, her bath in the river (!) & her moving scenes with Kate. I’m still mad with Joe Norton for burning down her caravan. A super character, loved her. #HeartbeatCountdown #HeartbeatGuestStar 🩷

5. Dora Bryan as Jane Thompson – Funny, vulnerable & strong. I love the episode & Dora was perfect for Jane. I liked her cheeky scene with Claude, her love of her garden & how she escaped from the nursing home to go back to her own home. #HeartbeatCountdown #HeartbeatGuestStar 🩷

7. Phyllida Law as Nancy Bellow - Creepy and vulnerable and I love how even at the end of the episode there was still an air of mystery about her. I love the fact that I now have the funeral urn that she threw! #HeartbeatCountdown #HeartbeatGuestStar 🩷

8. James Hazeldine as Reg Manston – He played the distraught farmer perfectly, in what is probably the ultimate Heartbeat episode. Simply fantastic. #HeartbeatCountdown #HeartbeatGuestStar 💙

11. Anna Calder Marshall as Claire Mercer – A favourite episode of mine and I think we could really feel how distraught Mrs Mercer was. Lovely scenes with Kate Rowan and a great episode. #HeartbeatCountdown #HeartbeatGuestStar 🩷

12. Simon Ward as Maxwell Hamilton – Perfect casting for Helen’s father, Sophie Ward’s real-life father. Really moving scenes between them and a super episode (with crazy weather continuity!), my favourite in series 15. #HeartbeatCountdown #HeartbeatGuestStar 💙

13. Jane Hazlegrove as Bero Man/Marion Flax – Loved Bero Man! Great fight scenes between Jane & Kazia & a genuinely eery character, who was contrasted by the lonely & trapped Marion. I think Bero Man is a Heartbeat legend! #HeartbeatCountdown #HeartbeatGuestStar 🩷

16. Siobhan Finneran as Janet the tax inspector – Great scenes with her & Greengrass! I love the car chase & when he hands over all of his worldly goods to her! I am a big fan of Siobhan & love that she’s been in Heartbeat. Top actress. #HeartbeatCountdown #HeartbeatGuestStar 🩷

17. Sylvia Syms as Peggy Tatten – Feisty and vulnerable with some great scenes as she fought to keep her farm. My favourite moment was when she was released from her cell and she pinched Craddock’s cheek in her excitement! Really fun. #HeartbeatCountdown #HeartbeatGuestStar 🩷

18. Anita Carey as Babs Crane – Full of fun and a splash of colour in the village. Only 2 visits, but we should have had more. I loved her holding court in the pub on her first visit with everyone being a bit mesmerised by her. #HeartbeatCountdown #HeartbeatGuestStar 🩷
