British TV Icon Gerald Harper Dies at 96 - Once Romantically Linked to ‘Coupling’ Star Sarah Alexander



Beloved British actor Gerald Harper has passed away at the age of 96, marking the end of an era for fans of classic 60s and 70s television. Best known for his roles as the dashing lead in Hadleigh and the time-traveling Edwardian hero in Adam Adamant Lives!, Harper was a staple of the golden age of British drama.


His passing was confirmed in a heartfelt statement by CDM Talent Agency on Friday:


“It is with great sadness that Gerald Harper has recently passed away he was a valued client before he went to Spain to enjoy his retirement.”


Harper’s off-screen life was just as fascinating as his on-screen roles. In the mid-1990s, he made headlines for his relationship with Coupling star Sarah Alexander. At the time, Alexander was just 25 years old, while Harper was 68—a 43-year age difference that sparked considerable media attention. The pair were first spotted together in 1996, and according to one eyewitness quoted by the Sunday People, “They were super-glued together! They were all over each other and didn’t care who saw them.”


Despite their age gap, the couple appeared smitten and unapologetically affectionate during their time together. Though their romance eventually faded from the spotlight, it remained a memorable chapter in Harper’s eventful life.


Harper leaves behind a legacy of charm, talent, and unforgettable television moments. His contributions to British entertainment and his charismatic presence on and off screen will be long remembered.
