Eleanor Tomlinson: Reigning Queen of Remakes! From On-Screen Adaptations to The Forsyte Saga

She has made her name in on-screen adaptations of novels Poldark and One Day.

And Eleanor Tomlinson is quickly becoming queen of the remakes, as she was snapped filming a new version of The Forsyte Saga. 

It’s the first time Ms Tomlinson has been seen in her role as the Soho dressmaker Louisa Byrne in the six-part series based on John Galsworthy novels. 

The drama, which follows a family from the 1870s into the early 1900s, is adapted by Poldark writer Debbie Horsfield. 

Spotted on set in Bristol, Ms Tomlinson wore a Victorian-style cream dress with blue embroidery. Her auburn curls were tied loosely in a huge silk bow. 

The actress was also seen joking with co-star Danny Griffin between takes. She plays the first love of Griffin’s character, Young Jolyon.

Griffin, who appeared in Guy Ritchie’s 2019 film The Gentlemen, is the latest heartthrob to star opposite Ms Tomlinson. 

She played pin-up Leo Woodall’s spouse in Netflix smash-hit One Day and the wife of Poldark, played by Aidan Turner, in the series. 

Off-screen, Ms Tomlinson had her own fairytale wedding in 2022 when she walked down the aisle with rugby player Will Owen. 

The Nobel Prize-winning novel The Forsyte Saga has previously been adapted for screen by both the BBC and ITV, to critical acclaim. 

This latest version features only British actors – such as Downton Abbey’s Tuppence Middleton, and Doctor Who’s new companion Millie Gibson – despite being aired on US network PBS.
