Russell T Davies joined Helena to discuss her latest project, Nolly, which follows the life of Crossroads star Noele Gordon and is due for release sometime this year.
New Role: Helena plays the late Crossroads star Noele, who was fired without ceremony, warning or explanation at the height of the show’s success in 1981.

The couple were all smiles as they took the stage to discuss their project before seeing the preview.
Speaking about her role, according to The Mirror, Helena said: “When I read the script, it was like a gift. A dream. It’s like meeting someone and falling in love.
I saw Crossroads. So I knew Noele Gordon as a figure, but I hadn’t really been aware of the looting. Mark added that filming her part was “a pleasure.”
All smiles: Helena styled the number with a coordinating midi skirt, tights, and chunky patent leather sneakers.
Co-stars: She swept her brunette hair into a chic style, leaving loose strands of pink while adding a series of red bow clips

The three-part miniseries, written by Russell, will explore the all-powerful reign and fall from grace of the inimitable Noele, who died in 1985.
Noele was declared the ‘Queen of the Midlands’ thanks to Meg Mortimer’s iconic role in Crossroads and was the darling of the establishment until it turned on her.
In the role of the grey-haired widow Meg in the long-running soap opera Crossroads, Noele became one of the most famous people in Britain.
Good cheer: She was joined by Russell T Davies to discuss her latest project, Nolly, which portrays the life of Crossroads star Noele Gordon and is due for release sometime this year.
Then, in 1981, at the height of the show’s success and the height of her fame, she was fired without ceremony, without notice, and without explanation, with the soap finally ending two years later.
With the boss’s words “all good things must come to an end” ringing in her ears, Noele found herself thrown out of the show that had been her life for over 18 years.
A love letter to a television legend and the wacky soap opera she starred in, Nolly will be an entertaining journey through Noele’s most tumultuous years and a sharp, loving and heartbreaking portrait of a forgotten icon.
Exciting: The couple were all smiles as they took the stage to discuss their project before seeing the preview.
