'Actor Simon MacCorkindale, who starred in BBC One's Casualty, has died aged 58 after suffering from cancer.
His publicist, Max Clifford, said he died in the arms of his wife, actress Susan George, on Thursday night in a London Clinic.
The actor revealed last year he was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2006, but was told it was terminal after it spread to his lungs a year later.
He spent six years on the BBC medical drama as Dr Harry Harper.
He was also known for starring in 1980s series Manimal and Falcon Crest and appearing in the 1978 Agatha Christie film Death on the Nile.'

I hate to see all the actors from my youth dying off! Makes me feel old.
Wow. Sad news. He really was a good actor. So young.
‘Riddle of the Sands’-also great in that!
Try seeing Britney Spears turn into a trailer trash wreck. I remember at 12 thinking she was the hottest girl ever. I can say to kids “I remember when Britney was hot.”

Duuude, I remember when Helen Thomas was hot.
He and his wife, Susan George
He was a tasty morsel back then... (says this old girl)

RIP.
Both very good at their craft.
R.I.P., Simon.
Remember when she starred in “Mandingo?”
actually no... i never saw that program
I had the privilege of working with Simon in Toronto on Counterstrike. He was the most approachable, generous and kindest of actors and human beings. I will never forget you Simon or your kindness. You have now touched the face of God. Susan, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
