Texas   10 #1 Posted June 3, 2008 'The Bill' seems to go on forever, characters come and go, never to be seen again unless on 'Coronation Street'. I'm not a great 'soap' fan but a good few years ago there was a character in the show called 'Yorkie' Smith, played by a Robert Hudson. I think his demise came when he went off his nut directing traffic,and for some reason he always wore gloves. It was just after the pit riots back in Maggie's years. Anyhow, Robert wasn't his real name, his real name was Mark, he must've adopted his dad's name. What ever became of him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

HarmOKnee   10 #3 Posted July 17, 2008 He's still alive & well. Robert is his middle name and also his Dad's name. He had to use his middle name when he was at stage school as there was already another lad there called Mark Hudson. Not sure what Mark or Charlotte are doing at the moment though.

HarmOKnee   10 #7 Posted July 18, 2008 Mark & Charlotte are my cousins but I haven't been in touch with either of them for years. I think they are back in Sheffield at the moment though, my Mum saw their Mum the other day. I'll find out what they're doing when I see my Mum this weekend & let you know.

xenia   11 #8 Posted July 18, 2008 I used to work with Mark when we were students at the Mulberry when Mick Lee was the landlord. Marks mum (cant remember her first name worked there too).   I think he is now with the Hull Truck Theatre company and is doing well I understand.

xenia   11 #11 Posted September 17, 2008 Thats him, never sure why he walked away from "The Bill" but he seems to be a very respected professional now, although not as high profile as the "soap" stars.
