My Take
To most American viewers, Baxendale will always be Emily from Friends, Ross's English fiancée. But in Britain she is Rachel from Cold Feet, and I love how a single performer can carry two completely different signature roles depending on which side of the ocean you grew up on. Stage-trained and later working as a producer, she belongs to that dependable, unflashy strain of British actor who builds a real career instead of a tabloid one. I have a soft spot for performers like her, understated but solid, who simply do good work.
