Hi All! Today I purchased www.elainecassidy.co.uk, so you can now get to the site via this URL as well as www.elainecassidy.com (main) and www.love-n-lemons.com.

Speaking of the site, for all new members or followers of Elaine, please stop sending me fan mail or requests for autographs or meet-ups with Elaine. I’m not Elaine nor am I an official representation of Elaine. I’m just a fan, who thinks she rocks and does my best to unofficially represent/promote her and her work to all the fans out there. That is all. No more. No less.

If you would like to contact Elaine and ask for her autograph, you can do so by sending a photo of your choosing or she may be generous enough to send you one of her own official stills, along with a stamped, self-addressed envelope (or an International Reply Coupon if relevant in your country) to:

Elaine Cassidy

You can also find the above information in the sidebar of the site – just scroll down.

If you send an email to me asking for any of the above, I will no longer be replying. Thanks

Irish actress Elaine Cassidy is to star in The Paradise, a new BBC One adaptation of the Emile Zola classic French novel The Ladies’ Paradise.

The eight-part series will also star Sarah Lancashire (Five Daughters), David Hayman (Trial And Retribution), Matthew McNulty (Misfits), Joanna Vanderham (The Runaway) and Emun Elliott (Lip Service, Game Of Thrones) and will be set in England.

Cassidy will play Katherine, a banker’s daughter, in the series which will tell the story of a love affair, set against the backdrop of the opening of the first department store.

The series is written and created by Bill Gallagher and will be produced by BBC Drama Productions. Executive producer for the BBC is Susan Hogg. Filming on the eight-part series, which the BBC says will feature “an addictive mix of love and gossip”, begins outside Durham in June.

The eight hour-long episodes will be screened on BBC One in 2013.
