Maggie Stables (Evelyn Smythe)
We at Project Torchwood, would like to send
condolences to the family of Maggie Stables, who after a long illness, finally
embarked on the long journey into the unknown.
Maggie was an ever loved part of Big Finish, whether
as a character player or in the guise of the ever adorable Evelyn Smythe. The skill of Maggie was ever present, as well
as the passion she put in every performance.
Maggie starred in Big Finish’s first story Sirens of
Time and went on to become a companion of the Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker) and
then the Seventh Doctor (Sylvester McCoy).
The character Evelyn fought many enemies with wit, charm, luck and
sassyness. She never failed to make the
Doctor do the right thing and became a sort of conscious.
My first encounter with Maggie was in her Evelyn
guise, during the webcast Real Time.
From the first moment I heard her voice, I fell in love with this woman
and both laughed and cried with the storyline.
This was the spark, that made me want to know more,
and search out other Big Finish stories.
So you can say Maggie was the woman who introduced me to the world of
imagination and fantasy that is Big Finish.
Maggie I will be forever grateful, and sad I never got to say so in real
life. Without Maggie, I would not be
writing reviews about Big Finish so thank you Maggie, you are forever loved by
the fans and especially me.
