THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

I had a crush on her when she was playinng Lucy Collins in Brookside when it first started
She's dead???? I bumped into her in Hampsted a few years ago and started chatting (as you do) despite me probing her about what was she doing in London and does she still teach for the Belvoir Pony Club - she seemed totally bemused - five mins later it suddenly dawned on me that yes I did know her but NOT through Pony Club
Five cups of coffee just to be myself...when I'd rather be somebody else

Katrin Cartlidge who has died aged 41 (of complications from pneumonia and septicaemia) was one of the most fearless and passionately committed performers on screen and stage to have emerged from Britain for years. From her first appearance as Lucy Collins in television's Brookside, through 25 films and many stage appearances, her career was remarkable. (continues)
The Body and Soul poster is also in the movie "The Hidden" with Kyle MacLachlan. I believe it there is also a m*****n "Severina" poster as well. It is seen in the record store scene.
I found a cheap comic, called "Curse of the Transvestite", in a second-hand book store, it was about a transvestite and her killer Ventriloquist Doll.
Near the end the doll puts on the Sisters of Mercy.
The Transvestite begs the doll to stop the music because it's driving her insane, at this point the Ventriloquist doll becomes human and precedes to stab the Transvestite to death.
I have no idea what the comic was about but I was surprised to see the Sisters in a comic.
OH, and I saw this tacky childrens show about crack addicts called Junk.
In the television show all the addicts had posters of the Sisters of Mercy on their walls.
The show was really cheesy, I watched it to see how many posters I could spot.

Speaking of Sisters references popping up in unexpected places, anybody have a copy to hand of the 2000 AD two page p*ss-take of the Sisters from the late 80s? It featured Floodland Era Eldritch and Pat Morrison. I might actually have the damned thing stored in the attic somewhere, but it'd be great if someone's scanned it. If not, will do my best to do the job myself some time
