freelydifferentluminary: The Name Game: Now that I see that Jenna Coleman is set to play Johanna Constatine in The Sandman, I was reminded that Jenna has once starred in another series as another Joanna. Joanna Lindsay in The Cry. It’s spelled differently, but basically the same name. That got me to thinking that Jenna has often played characters with extremely similar names.She has played an Ann (Deever in All My Sons) and an Annie (Desmond in Titanic)She has played a Jasmine (Thomas in Emmerdale) and a Jasmine (in an audition script for Doctor Who)She has played a ‘Drina’ (as in Alexandrina in Victoria) and a ‘Trina’ (as in Katrina in Me Before You)She has played the aforementioned Joanna Lindsay in The Cry and the new Sandman character Johanna Constatine. And she will be playing a Joan (Bright in The War Room) in the next few monthsShe has played a Marie in The Serpent and a Maria in a public service announcement for the NSPCC about child abuseAll in all, that’s a LOT of similar sounding names. I wonder if she’s realized what she is doing. Maybe she’s superstitious. That wouldn’t be IMPOSSIBLE, I guess. Hahaha. -- source link
