Her character was written out, stated to have had a horse riding accident offscreen. She reappeared, alongside the rest of the original cast, in a single episode of Series 5.[2]

She appeared opposite David Thewlis in Resurrected (1989), and appeared in A Sense of Guilt. She later was cast in The Object of Beauty (1991) alongside John Malkovich and Andie Macdowell which received a lukewarm reception from critics,[3][4] and the 1995 film Frankie Starlight.
