Melissa as her character Miss Scott. She has a 60’s bob wig and wears a raspberry coat. It’s a screenshot of the recorded shot

A gorgeous wrap on Grantchester series 10 💜

The show that has my heart.

Thank you for letting a badass disabled woman exist in a 1960’s man’s world for the last 5 seasons!

It’s really quite wonderful.

Nancy, the chocolate sprocker spaniel, sits looking at the camera. She has her tongue poking out and her eyes are wide as if she’s pulling a funny face. There a glistening Christmas lights behind her.

Asked Nancy to smile for a photo and this is what I got…

Happy Friday folks 💜

The Cockroach Trailer After a body-altering accident, a woman must find a way forward in her new reality. AWARDS: "Best Drama" @ LA Shorts "Best Editing" @ HollyShorts OFFICIAL…

💫 TRAILER 💫
The Cockroach by Mary Pat Bentel, shot in USA last year.

A job that had my heart ❤️
And that gave me chance to explore the frustration & upset I once felt about my own body when the world we live in told me for so long that it was ugly, unworthy & wrong.

A film poster. Title - The Cochroack by Mary Pat Bentel. Melissa has long blonde hair and stands in front of a glass panel. She has a limb difference. Her right arm stops at the elbow. She wears blue trousers and a pink top. The reflection makes it look like a right arm is reflected in the glass.

Laurels for film festivals plus 

Best Drama at LA Shorts Film Festival
Audience Award at Austin Film Festival
Best Edit at HollyShorts Film Festival 
AND ITS COMING TO LONDON 
The Cockroach is part of the official selection for @hollyshorts London in Decembe

Apart from the usual “please can we drop the Coronation Street headline tag” and that OK! weren’t actually invited to/weren’t at the wedding 👀
But… DID do a lovely interview whilst I was in Sicily…

This article is a really special read for us 💜💫

It says something about how few visibly disabled actors have regular series roles that I assumed digital trickery might be involved with Grantchester's Melissa Johns (I'm also used to seeing prosthetics). Good on the show for letting her be a regular-and quite charming-character.
