DID YOU KNOW?[]
The role of Lady Kensington was originally going to be played by Maddie Moate, who had previously appeared as her descendant, Isabelle Kensington in The Two Fold Bond. Although it is not seen in close up, the photo Mycroft Holmes has for Violet is that of Maddie Moate. However, due to a commitment filming as an O2 Guru, Maddie was unable to fit the role in. The role was subsequently recast to Victoria-Jane Appleton (who would play Miss Bliss in Reign Will Fall), who pulled out one day prior due to illness. This resulted in a last minute recasting with Cassie Parkes eventually taking the role - with just 10 hours remaining till shoot.
