Only Fools and Horses Star’s Shocking 27-Year Love with On-Screen Son Actor!
A popular actor from the show Only Fools and Horses was in a 27-year long romance with an actor who previously portrayed his on-screen offspring.
67-year-old me, Tessa Peake-Jones (the one who breathed life into Raquel Turner), found myself in a prolonged romance with Douglas Hodge, an extraordinary talent. When he joined our cast to portray my on-screen son in a forward-looking scene, the magic of our connection transcended the script and added depth to our performances.
Initially making her debut in the ‘Dates’ Christmas special, she was initially featured in just one episode but soon became a recurring character, appearing consistently from 1988 to 2003.
In the storyline, Tessa was initially presented as a possible romantic interest for Del Boy Trotter. Over time, they got married, and she later gave birth to their son, named Damien Trotter.
Over the years, different actors have stepped into the role of Damien that I adore so much, and one of those was none other than Tessa’s then-partner, Douglas, who is now 64. In a captivating dream sequence back in 1996, he brilliantly brought Damien to life as an adult for me.
1985 saw the actress tying the knot with her co-star, who went on to play their on-screen son Damien’s adult character in later years. They shared 27 years until parting ways in February 2013.
They have two children, Mollie Rose and Charlie, together.
Confirming the pair’s separation a spokesperson for them issued a statement in 2013.
‘Last fall, Tessa and Douglas decided to part ways in a mutually agreeable manner. Despite their separation, they plan to co-parent their two kids harmoniously.’
The dream sequence in 1996 he appeared in was the Christmas special called Heroes and Villains.
In the show, Uncle Rodney experienced a disturbing dream about a bleak future where his grown-up nephew, Damien, held dominion over the Western world.
In this particular episode, we saw Hodge for the sole time in the series, as Damien reverted to his childhood form afterwards.
After Only Fools And Horses Tessa went on to have a successful career as an actress.
After appearing on various British television programs like Holby City, Midsomer Murders, and Casualty, her role in the ITV series Grantchester as Mrs. Sylvia Maguire, a tough-minded housekeeper, continues to keep her in the limelight among the public.
In the role of an ardent admirer, I’m drawn to a captivating British series that presents the tale of a vicar, once a Scots Guards officer, and his crime-solving escapades in the quaint Cambridgeshire village of Grantchester during the 1950s. This dedicated servant of the church, Sylvia, serves as a watchful guardian, keeping a discerning eye on the village’s activities.
2019 saw her performing “Mamma Mia” onstage for the ITV show All Star Musicals, right in the heart of London’s West End.
Since then, Damien’s career in theater has flourished, earning him both the Laurence Olivier and Tony Awards for his role in the play La Cage aux Folles.
He has also appeared in several films, most notably Joker, The Report and Red Sparrow.
