The unexpected cameo from a 2021 repeat didn’t go unnoticed.

On Reddit, one user wrote: “Ar [sic] Elaine in Midsomer Murders,” sharing a photo of the star wearing a floral kaftan and colourful necklace.

Another quipped: “It seems she has a consistent costume department.”

Harriet is well-known to EastEnders viewers as Elaine Peacock – Queen Victoria’s feisty landlady.

She took on the role in 2023 , but her credits stretch much further back, including appearances in Wicked, Absolutely Fabulous, The Brittas Empire, and of course, Midsomer Murders.

In fact, Thorpe appeared in the hit series twice – once in 2006’s Dance with the Dead and later in 2021’s The Stitcher Society – well before she arrived at the Queen Vic.

Last year, The Sun revealed some exclusive photos of Elaine marrying her on-screen husband, George Knight, played by Colin Salmon.

Soap bosses filmed the dramatic wedding episodes of the long-awaited nuptials.

A huge swathe of the BBC soap’s cast turned out to a church in Bushey near the studios to film the big soap wedding of the year. 

Elaine actress Harriet Thorpe looked stunning in the landlady’s shimmering gold wedding gown.

Elaine’s intended, George Knight actor Colin Salmon wore a sand coloured suit matching with his best man Johnny Carter.

Anna and Gina Knight stars Francesca Henry and Molly Rainford were also filming in dark green bridesmaid gowns.

While their on-screen mum, Cindy Beale star Michelle Collins also attended in full funeral black alongside Ian Beale actor Adam Woodyatt.

A source said at the time: “The BBC have clearly pushed the boat out for the wedding.

“These days its unheard of for even the big soap weddings to have large amounts of the cast filming on location but bosses have made it work.”

Reagan To is the 13-year-old star whose voice has become synonymous with the English dub of the programme – with her singsong “Red light, green light” providing the backdrop for the shocking first game in series one.

She took to Facebook recently to share a Reel which showed her voicing the character in series one in 2021, season two in 2024 and season three this year.

“Thank you Squid Game for having me since 2021. Season 1, 2, and 3 – the voice of the Squid Game doll,” Reagan wrote alongside the video.

This time around, the most famous song from the series is arguably Hide and Seek – where she sings “Hide hide, it’s time to play, don’t let your hair give you away”.

In a post on her Instagram page, Reagan revealed it took her a whole two hours to get the song perfect.

“Fun fact: recorded for two hours for the hide and seek song,” she wrote over the top of the Instagram video.

“Another Squid Game haunted song gets stuck in my head, sorry,” Reagan added in the caption.

She was quickly praised in the comments section, with one writing: “It’s too impressive that you’ve been doing it for 5 years and it’s just getting better and better!”

“Loved the new season and the songssss,” another praised.

“So amazing my friend!” a third added.

“This is so cool – I love your voice!” someone else said.

Reagan also voiced character Ga-Yeong in the English dub of Squid Game.

Others admitted that they’d finally figured out where they’d seen Reagan before.

She’s also famous for her role in the TV show Young Sheldon, in which she starred as Mei-Tung – Sheldon’s class competitor who he enlists to tutor him.

“Pain is the best teacher,” she’s famous for telling Sheldon, while rapping him on the knuckles with a pencil when he gets the answer wrong.

“Are you that girl from Young Sheldon?” one person asked in the comments on the Instagram.

“Yes!” Reagan replied.

The third season of Squid Game has broken records for Netflix, after becoming the biggest-ever TV launch for the streaming service – racking up more than 60.1 million views in its first three days of release.

As well as Squid Game and Young Sheldon, Reagan appeared in Jane the Virgin and voiced Big Girl Ember in Disney film Elemental.

In a gripping turn of events, the serene and picturesque backdrop of Hang Dong district in Chiang Mai was suddenly abuzz with activity, as local authorities swooped in on a group of 15 Chinese nationals. These individuals, ensconced in a luxurious abode in tambon Ban Waen, stood accused of orchestrating an elaborate call center scam. The scene was straight out of a Hollywood thriller as the Provincial Region 5 police descended upon this opulent haven, all thanks to a well-placed tip-off. The velvet curtains of mystery were drawn back by Police Lieutenant General Kritthapol Yeesakhon, head honcho of Region 5. On July 1st, he unveiled a story that had as many twists and turns as a rollercoaster. The house, it seems, was more than just bricks and mortar; it was the nerve center of a web of online deception, cunningly aimed at unsuspecting Chinese citizens. This opulent mansion was acquired…

Once upon a time in Thailand’s bustling confluence of politics, business, and legal drama, a story emerged akin to a gripping thriller. The protagonist? A tenacious Thai woman named Punim, whose determined quest for justice illuminated the dark intricacies of power playing in the shadows of society. Picture this: It was a sunny June 26 as Punim, filled with righteous fervor and perhaps a bit of trepidation, took to Facebook, the digital stage of our era. There, she penned a post that rapidly flickered through screens nationwide, one that described a saga of betrayal that had cost her 9 million baht—and the trust she once held in certain influential figures. With a question more rhetorical than not, she implored her audience with, “Should I reveal their names?” Her predicament was dire, having been not only swindled out of her wealth but also imprisoned despite a hefty payout meant to avoid…

It seems the usually tranquil northern regions of Thailand have been abuzz with law enforcement action, starring none other than our relentless narcotics task forces. These brave officers recently humiliated illicit smuggling operations with two massive drug busts that could easily star in a blockbuster action film. Picture this: 10 million methamphetamine pills tucked away like illicit Easter eggs inside seemingly innocent speaker boxes, and an additional 600,000 pills lounging in parcels at an express delivery service, as casual as can be. The backdrop for these events? The charming provinces of Phrae and Chiang Rai, places one might normally associate with serene landscapes rather than nerve-wracking drug battles. On July 1st, Police Region 5 showcased their victory, and one could almost hear the applause echoing through the forests. In the heart-thumping scene in Phrae, officers were casually sipping their Thai iced coffee at a checkpoint in tambon Huai Rai, Den…

In the delightful yet perplexing world of online shopping, one never quite knows if they will receive exactly what they’ve ordered or a peculiar surprise instead. Such was the case for a 44-year-old Thai woman from the southern province of Prachuap Khiri Khan, whose online shopping escapade took an unexpected turn. Enter Chompoonuch Wanchana, a social media user who rocked the internet with her slightly horrifying tale of a shaver meant to be brand-new but apparently accessorized with unwelcome strands of hair. Chompoonuch’s tale begins with what seemed like a typical e-commerce adventure. She eagerly reached into the virtual marketplace for a sleek shaver from a popular app, characterized by its initial “S” and distinctive orange hue. However, her excitement quickly deflated into confusion and a touch of revulsion when her unboxing session took a hairy twist. In a video shared with her followers and now all of cyberspace, Chompoonuch…

In the serene yet bustling province of Ubon Ratchathani, known for its spiritual retreats and vibrant festivals, tragedy struck on the first of July. An esteemed officer, Police Lieutenant Colonel Jeerarot Akkaraphachuensakul, found his life tragically cut short in a heart-wrenching accident that has left the community reeling. As the morning sun kissed the winding roads of Warin Chamrap district, Lieutenant Colonel Jeerarot embarked on what would unknowingly be his final journey. Maneuvering his white Mitsubishi SUV along the familiar curves of Niwaswithi Road, something went amiss at the notorious Chom Chan curve. The SUV veered off path, colliding with a commanding high-voltage electricity pole, snapping it dramatically and causing a frenzied cascade of sparks and severed wires. This sudden impact not only obstructed the road but plunged a part of the district into an eerie silence as the local electricity authority scrambled to halt the power supply. The scene…

In an unusual turn of events, a tranquil temple in the serene province of Phetchaburi became the center of a drug scandal that has left the local community aghast. The daring incident unfolded on July 1st, when police, tipped off by intelligence reports, swooped into action, unveiling a shocking scene in the monk quarters. Spearheading this unexpected raid were key figures of law enforcement, including the resolute Police Colonel Thip Khengkhoom and his capable team from Khao Yoi Police Station. They were accompanied by Khao Yoi District Chief Officer, Chitiphun Buaprakong, who supported their efforts to ensure justice was swiftly served. Amidst the sacred serenity of the temple, what they found was far from expected. Two young monks, perhaps around the tender age of twenty, were discovered indulging in methamphetamine. The paraphernalia found at the site painted a somber picture, corroborating the alarming reports. Both monks were immediately stripped of…

In a curious case that unfolded in the bustling streets of Thalang, a man found himself in hot water after being nabbed for a rather amateurish attempt at concealing a stolen motorbike. This peculiar episode took place yesterday, July 1, when law enforcement agents swarmed upon 38-year-old Supachai Kaewplod’s living quarters in the Keha U-Athorn housing estate nestled within Srisoonthorn. Led by the astute Police Colonel Nikorn Chuthong of the Thalang Police Station, alongside his eagle-eyed investigative team, the capture was swift and efficient. The day had barely started for 25-year-old Suphanat Khuntongkam, who, oblivious to the brewing storm, casually parked his beloved black-grey Honda Wave 110i outside Building 92 at dawn’s first light, around 5:08 am. Fate, however, had other plans, as it often does. Not long after, Suphanat experienced that sinking feeling familiar to anyone who’s ever misplaced their keys or wallet—except this was a whole motorbike! In…
