TV favourite Fay Ripley has joined the cast of Doc Martin for its last ever series, but where are the rest of the original Cold Feet cast now?
The hit comedy series Cold Feet started way back in 1997.
It followed the lives of three couples as they navigated their way through the ups and downs of their relationships.
The series carried on all the way through to 2020 introducing lots of new characters throughout the series.
Guests stars even included David’s daughter Olivia, who was later played by Normal People superstar Daisy Edgar-Jones.
But where are the original gang now?
Cold Feet original cast: James Nesbitt played Adam Williams
James Nesbitt starred as Adam Williams who started Cold Feet in heartbreak when he found out Rachel was secretly married.
However, when Adam was diagnosed with testicular cancer in season two, the pair rekindled their relationship.
The pair later went on to have a baby boy after struggling to get pregnant after Rachel’s abortion in season two.
Rachel’s death in a tragic car accident in series 5 remains one of the most shocking TV moments of all time.
James, 57, has gone on to become one of the most popular actors on British TV.
He’s led a variety of crime dramas including Murphy’s Law, The Missing and Netflix’s Stay Close.
Line of Duty fans will also recognise James for playing DCI Marcus Thurwell – albeit infuriatingly briefly!
The actor is also popular for his recent role in the BBC crime thriller Bloodlands.

Season two is coming soon!

John Thomson‘s character Pete Gifford had an absolutely heartbreaking time on the series.
From the breakdown of his first marriage with Jenny to the failure of his second marriage to Jo, Pete didn’t have the best of times with relationships.
Following the death of Harry, an old man Pete was caring for, his life turned to rock bottom and he even contemplated suicide.
However things brightened up in the 2020 series, when Pete moved on and left his emotional issues behind.

In 2021, he was also the voice behind Bush Baby on ITV series The Masked Singer!
Cold Feet original cast: Robert Bathurst starred as David Marsden
Robert‘s character David Marsden and his wife Karen arguably had the most toxic relationship on Cold Feet.
Their marriage was on the rocks during season one after they both tried to sleep with other people – which lead to them both seeking counselling.
Not long after the birth of their twins, Ellie and Olivia, David had an affair with a local resident’s activist.
Karen also had an affair of her own, which eventually leds to the end of their relationship.
In series five, the couple got a divorce and David ended up marrying his divorce lawyer, Robyn.
Robert, 65, is perhaps most famous for his comedic roles, including the brilliant Ed Howzer-Black in Toast.
Of course, he also stars as Johnny Delamere in the comedy series The Larkins in 2021.
He’ll reprise the role in the upcoming series 2.
Robert has also appeared in My Family, Downton Abbey, Blandings, Dracula, and Wild at Heart.
Frankly, we’ll watch him in anything.
Hermione Norris starred as Karen Marsden
Hermione Norris played the role of publisher Karen, who infamously tried to have an affair with a renowned author after editing his work.
Her husband David then tried to get his own back by attempting to sleep with their nanny Romona.
After years of trying to make their marriage work, the pair eventually divorced.
Later on, Karen ended up falling for Adam’s father-in-law!
She also set up her own publishing company and brought Romona in as her personal assistant.
Hermione Norris, 55, is known for starring in a number of crime dramas, including Spooks, Innocent, Wire in the Blood and Luther.
She also featured in the films Separate Lies and Love of My Life.

If Hermione is in it, it’s usually worth watching.
Cold Feet original cast: Fay Ripley was Jenny Gifford
Fay Ripley played Jenny Gifford in Cold Feet.
After the couple’s baby was born, Jenny and Pete’s relationship started to deteriorate.

Helen Baxendale starred as Rachel Bradley
Helen Baxendale’s character Rachel had the shortest time on the series out of the original cast, after her character was killed off in car crash.
We’re still not over it.
At the start of the series, we found out that Rachel was married to another man despite deciding to rent a house with Adam.
After her husband appeared on the show, Rachel found out she was pregnant.
But she revealed to Adam in series two that she aborted her pregnancy and wanted to start a relationship with him.
Shortly after having a baby boy with Adam, Rachel died in a shocking car accident, leaving Adam and the rest of the nation watching at home, devastated.
Helen Baxendale, 52, famously went on to appear in the US sitcom Friends as Ross’ love interest Emily Waltham.
Her character dated Ross in season four before implausibly deciding to get married.
