Cold Feet original cast: James Nesbitt played Adam Williams

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.

In the series, James plays DCI Tom Brannick a policeman who is sent on the hunt for an assassin known as ‘Goliath’ as he has chilling connections with a cold case and Tom’s past.

John Thomson portrayed Pete Gifford

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.

John Thomson, 53, has since become been a staple of British TV!

Fans will recognise him for his time on Coronation Street as Jesse Chadwick.

He’s also known for roles in Men Behaving Badly, Spitting Image, Professor T and Dodger.

He recently starred in the hit ITV crime drama McDonald & Dodds.

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.
