Lynette McMorrough has suffered a stroke.  Her husband, Nick Wilton. has set up a blog to report on her recovery.  www.howslynette.blogspot.com.    She is currently having physiotheraphy in hospital. I am sure we all wish her a speedy recovery. I met her a couple of years ago, and she is a really lovely lady.

Swift thrombolysis by stroke nurses saves 'fairy godmother'

An actress is recovering after being given emergency stroke treatment at Basildon University Hospital when she collapsed during a performance of Cinderella.
Lynette McMorrough, 53, has had roles in Crossroads and daytime soap Doctors, but was playing the role of the Fairy Godmother at the Thameside Theatre in Grays, when she became ill on 29 December.

Ms McMorrough was taken to Basildon University Hospital, where after an assessment including a CT scan, she was identified as a patient who could be thrombolysed.

Beth Smyth, specialist nurse for stroke at the hosptial, said: 'We started thrombolysing patients in Mid-September 2008 and since then we have assessed 35 patients and six have been given the treatment.
 
'Early intervention by the nursing specialist team makes sure the damage is limited. Thrombolysing the patient dissolves the blood clot, helping to prevent lasting disabilities and allows for a better recovery,' he added.

Jennifer Marshall, ward manager for Pasteur Ward, the hospital's acute stroke unit, said: 'We are not yet able to thrombolyse patients 24/7 but we hope this is something we can offer in the future.'

That's awful news.  I followed your link to the blog her husband has set up, and sent a message to Lynette through her husbands email. 

2009 has certainly not started off very well has it, so many horrible things happening.  Let's hope that she continues to make a speedy recovery.  Bless her.

This dreadful news!  Cry

My very best wishes to Lynette for a FULL recovery.

I'm going to follow Jean9's example and try and send an e-mail too.

I've only seen Lynette briefly in an interview on TV, not long after Crossroads ended. So I have always pictured her as that bubbly, squeaky-voiced Glenda!
What a shock! My best wishes to Lynette and her family.

Oh gosh, that is awful news. I hope Lynette gets well soon too and best wishes to her and her family.

Seeing Lynette's age above, I never thought she was 50 something as she looks younger than 53 definitely.  Smiley

It is very sad news, I found out over christmas as one of the people I was working with was about to do a tour (Hot Flush) with Lynette and I was excited about seeing it,
however she is on the mend and I sure she'd love to hear we're all thinking of her

There is an interview with her on You Tube on This Morning from 2005 for the DVD release. She was a hoot. Made a nice change from the usual Jane Rossington being wheeled out for such things.

I have just had a look at the blog, and a new entry for today states that Lynette is home and getting better, and is slowly gaining movement in her right arm and hand, plus her walking is improving. She is still having a lot of physio, but it is wonderful news to hear that she is on the mend.

What happens when there's a knock to Lynette's front door - a friend answers it and is met by a little man in a cloth cap?

Walter:
How do! Is Lynette up to receiving visitors, I'm a pal of her's, she hasn't seen me in years!
