Former Coronation Street actress Kerri Quinn has said she is “thrilled” to be portraying a pro-lifer in BBC’s upcoming drama ‘The Awakening’.
The Northern Irish actress, who played Vicky Jeffries in the soap until Boxing Day 2019, is pro-life herself and comes from a strongly pro-life family.
Quinn, 37, lost her brother Kevin when he was just three years old due to a hole in his heart.
‘Life is precious’
The Belfast actress said: “I play a pro-lifer which I was delighted about because my whole family are pro-life, so it was a role I really wanted to portray and portray properly.”
It s been said that staying in is the new going out.
You d have thought, however, that New Year s Eve would be an exception - but not this time.
One of the most traumatic years in decades ended with a whimper on Thursday night.
Yes, there were still some fireworks, but who got out to see them?
It seems that everyone these days is watching our Covid-riddled world through screens.
That was certainly the case early on Thursday as we watched blue and gold fireworks exploding over the Sydney Opera House, but not the usual thousands of awestruck Australians who normally stare up at them from the Harbour Bridge area.
PITTSFORD â Police, climate change and LGBTQ issues were the topics that the winners of the first Brandon Writes contest chose to focus their essays on.
Brandon Writes is a contest put on by Michael Shank, of Brandon, who was behind the Brandon Environmental Film Competition. Both are similar in concept. Students in the Brandon area submit films, or in this case pieces of writing, and their work is judged locally with cash prizes awarded by Shank.
Taking the $500 first prize was Jazmin Rivera, an eighth-grader at Otter Valley Middle School, who wrote âInequality of Police Brutality.â
Rivera, of Pittsford, won her first essay contest last year after being told about it by her English teacher, Cameron Perta, who makes a habit of informing his students about contest opportunities.
