Marian is portrayed by Lauren McQueen in Robin Hood, the most recent soap adaptation of the timeless tale. She has enjoyed great success in the soap industry in recent years.

The most recent adaptation follows Rob (portrayed by Jack Patten) and Marian during their early years, as has just been released on MGM+.

Before he became the infamous outlaw, Rob was a young 24 year old trying to find his way in life.

Marian is depicted similarly as a young, untrained girl who develops into a woman who finds her own voice.

The role of Marian is played by Lauren McQueen, a 29 year old actress hailing from Liverpool, whose acting debut was in the BBC miniseries, Good Cop.

Her career took off when she joined the cast of Hollyoaks as Lily Drinkwell in 2017 – a role which bagged her two British Soap Awards, reports the Express.

Her character had a relationship with Prince McQueen (Malique Thompson-Dwyer), and a self-harming plot that was based on a car accident.

The Mix, Mind, NSPCC, Samaritans, and Samaritans were the four charities that the show co-hosted the heartbreaking storyline, which then expanded to include group self-harm.

The plot won the British Soap Awards 2018 for Best Storyline and Best Single Episode, and Lauren made the decision to leave the soap to pursue new endeavors the following year.

Her character met a tragic end after her mental health deteriorated and she succumbed to sepsis following a self-harm relapse.

She appeared in Outlander: Blood of My Blood and Belgravia: The Next Chapter after Hollyoaks.

She shared her thoughts on working with her co-stars, including Sean Bean, as the Sheriff of Nottingham, as well as her most recent role in Robin Hood.

She expressed her excitement at working with him. He gives the Sheriff and the show an extra dimension. He is such a genuine, honest individual.

When we first met, we had a pleasant conversation about Liverpool. It was nice to have a personal relationship with him since he had a TV show there. I gained a lot from watching him on the set.

She explained that Marian “came to me naturally” through self-tiring, and that she was prepared to stamp her name on her.

The actor also praised brand-newcomer Jack Patten for playing Robin Hood, saying, “We clicked right away. Final audition was such a blast. Both of us both knew that the roles were appropriate. It sounded very exciting.

With shoulder length brunette hair flicked over to one side while sporting a make-up free complexion, this Celebrity Traitors star looks completely unrecognisable in a throwback picture taken during her time at Cambridge University.

But this is Claudia Winkleman. The TV presenter, who recently caused a stir following her announcement to quit Strictly Come Dancing alongside her co-host Tess Daly, is seen sat among her peers in a photo from her time at Murray Edwards College, in 1990.

The actress was only 18 when she started out, and she was wearing a knitted navy jumper and pair of white jeans, a far cry from her signature fringe and bold outfits.

Claudia, 53, has long been a fan favorite thanks to her sharp wit and extensive eye makeup.

In a heartfelt social media post, she made it known that she was leaving her Strictly role with Tess Daly.

She said at the time, “It’s very difficult to express what Strictly means to me in words. The best relationship I’ve ever had has been. It has been my life’s work since I started working on It Takes Two in 2004. I’m forever grateful for it.

She continued, “I will never forget Len Goodman’s attempt to explain what a cucaracha is (I still don’t know) and how incredible it was to work with Tess on the results show to co-host on Saturday nights.”

It’s been a privilege to be a tiny part of the magical, glittery, fake tanned train, she continued. The incredible talent of the dancers, the band, the hair and makeup, and costume teams, as well as the incredible production team and creatives are all truly amazing.

She ended her post by saying, “I know the new hosts will be wonderful, and I’ve always believed it’s best to leave a party before you’re fully prepared to go.”

The TV personality, who will host Celebrity Traitors’ highly anticipated finale in a few days, first appeared on Strictly in 2004 as the spin-off show It Takes Two.

Years on, she landed the role to co-host the main BBC show. Explaining how the phrase “right place, right time” worked for her , she revealed in her autobiography Quite : “Strictly has been (I don’t want your stomach to turn, so please be prepared) a gift to me. A barnstorming, stonking, thunderbolt of a present.”

She continued, “I started working on It Takes Two in 2004. My son was a baby when they said, “Look, can you talk about the Foxtrot every night live at 6:30 PM,” and there had already been one series. I could spend the morning with him before going to work. I am aware. I was incredibly lucky during the six-week run. After that, I continued to present the results, and when Sir Bruce left, I was given Tess’s job. Sometimes good fortune just slips your way. How did I, an orange, scruffy, short, and idiot, get to appear in one of the country’s favorite TV programs?

There hasn’t been a better example of right place, right time on earth, she continued, “all I can say is that.”

Mendes announced the female actors for his new project on Saturday, saying, “Four fascinating and distinctive figures in their own right, and I’m thrilled that we’ve persuaded four of the most talented women working in film today to join this amazing adventure.”

All four films are currently slated for release in April 2028, with Deadline reporting that Mendes described The Beatles as the “most significant band” of all time. He told the outlet: “I had been trying to do a film for years, but I finally gave up.” He said he felt their “story was too big for one film”, adding that a TV series wasn’t right for it.

He remarked, “The epic story had to be told in a way that the whole generation could understand.” I can assure you that there is still room for exploration and that we have succeeded.

The screenplays will be written by Tony Award-winning actor Jack Thorne, Oscar-winning actor Peter Straughan, and BAFTA-winning actor Jez Butterworth. Whether they will collaborate on all of their movies or work on their own productions is not known as of yet.

Ringo previously praised the Sam Mendes movie project on social media by saying, “We all support the project. Yes, indeed”.

Commenting on Keoghan being cast to play him in the biopic, Ringo also told Entertainment Tonight: “I think he’s great, I believe he’s somewhere taking drum lessons. I hope not too many.”
