Helen McCrory’s death has hit the Peaky Blinders family hard

Both her fans and the Peaky Blinders cast and crew have felt Helen McCrory’s loss. When asked how the show managed without such a powerful character, Steven responded, “In terms of the character, although Polly is gone, her strength and influence and energy remains throughout the series.” Sophie Rundle, who plays Tommy’s sister Ada, recalls being “very intimidated” when she first met Helen but grew close to her co-star.
