The film industry today mourns the passing of a legend. In the early hours of this morning it was reported that the actor Maren Gilligan, who had been critically ill in hospital following a crazed fan’s knife attack, has died. A statement from Gilligan’s PA team, including the woman who attempted to save her from the attack confirms that a sudden massive internal haemorrage was the cause of death.

Tributes have poured in from directors, co-stars, friends and fans, describing Gilligan as “a classic beauty who shone on the screen” and praising her “subtle and controlled acting, which exemplified the artform”.

The funeral will be held in an undisclosed location on Monday.

OK, practically everyone with telecommunications on the planet has been requesting this one. Way to jam up the switchboards people. So here goes: “Angel Fire” by Dreama. This one’s for you Maren.

The bulletin ends. The theme strikes up, ends. The last drop of water plicks into Andaw’s carpet from the limp glass at his thigh.

Cadderine wobbles on her feet for a moment before, eyes rolling to clouds, she falls to the floor, cracking her head like an egg against the bookcase as the music plays.
