Throwback: Linda played Tracey in the hit comedy series, alongside her on-screen sister Sharon, played by Pauline Quirke, while Lesley played their sexy neighbour Dorien Green

Linda played Tracey Stubbs in the hit comedy series, alongside her on-screen sister Sharon Theodopolopodous, played by Pauline Quirke, while Lesley played their sexy neighbour Dorien Green.

Last summer, Linda shut down any rumours of a rift with Pauline as she took to Instagram share a nostalgic snap as they enjoyed a reunion lunch with Lesley in London’s Covent Garden.

Writing on her post as she cuddled up to her former TV colleagues Linda penned: ‘A lovely lunch with my beautiful friends in the @thedelaunay.’ 

In 2021, it was reported that Linda and Pauline were no longer on speaking terms, with it alleged that things became so heated that the childhood friends had to be separated by crew members during filming at Teddington Studios. 

Pauline was absent from the 2020 Birds of a Feather special – sparking rumours of a fallout.

Addressing the supposed rift Linda told The Mirror: ‘People say Pauline and I have fallen out. Obviously I couldn’t see her during lockdown but I’ve seen her since. She just doesn’t want to act anymore. She’s had enough – it’s long hours.’

Linda added that Pauline has taken a step back from acting to concentrate on her drama academies, adding that the actress is ‘very hands on’ with the project.

Birds of a Feather ran for 12 seasons, between 1989 and 2020 with the last episode being a special that aired in December 2020 with Tracey and Dorien coping with lockdown amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

In February 2022, writer Laurence Marks confirmed he would never write another episode.

He told the Daily Star: ‘You move on. I can’t imagine what more we could say. Also, the girls are very much older.

‘When we created Sharon and Tracey, they were kids in their 20s. They had a whole sexual life in front of them and the show was all about sex. Now they’re women in their 60s, so it’s a different sort of series.’
