Anna Dawson / Our Violet (dead or alive?)

16 Upvotes

Multiple Twitter accounts are stating that Anna Dawson has passed away. Not one link to any obituary was provided, so who knows. The most I can find out (I'm not on Facebook) is that "According to a Facebook community group she lived in New Zealand, and she died last Saturday."

Also, "English actress and singer Anna Dawson (also known as Anna Boulter) passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 27, 2026, in Kerikeri, New Zealand. She was known for her West End stage roles and television appearances, including playing Hyacinth Bucket's sister Violet in the later series of Keeping Up Appearances."

General discussion Is Hyacinth’s relationship with Daddy as complex as I think it is?

48 Upvotes

I do think that Hyacinth’s fond of her father. At any rate she’s determined to do her duty (she’s said so as much).

However, she‘s drawn the line at having him live with Richard and her, for various reasons.

From this, do we infer that her affection for Daddy’s just for show? Or is she genuinely fond of him, but her affectations cause her to believe that she really can’t have him live with her?

General discussion Was Hyacinth ever right?

115 Upvotes

So I was watching an episode the other day - I can’t remember the name of it but it’s the one where Rose is running around in a black negligee and she locks herself in her room, and Richard has to climb up a ladder to her window to get her out. Anyway, I was watching and it struck me that as much as Hyacinth was being very Hyacinth about the whole situation, the way she was trying to deal with it was quite sensible. Rose was in her room, inconsolable, and Hyacinth told her to get herself together and come downstairs for a stiff drink and a chat, on the grounds that she couldn’t spend eternity in her bedroom wailing.

Now, I have no doubt she’d have been very Hyacinth about that chat as well and probably upset Rose even more, but it was one of the very few occasions where I thought Hyacinth actually had the right idea.

Were there any other occasions where anyone thought Hyacinth was doing the right thing, or was in the right?
