Patrick Mower Ponytail

Rodney Blackstock received a lukewarm reception when he returned to Emmerdale – all because of his tiny hipster ponytail. The suave silver fox – portrayed on the ITV soap by actor Patrick Mower – appears to have had a Harry Styles-inspired makeover during his absence. But it hasn’t gone down well with fans. After appearing in a scene with onscreen daughter Bernice – portrayed by Samantha Giles – viewers took to Twitter to slam his new ‘do.

“Oh good grief – Rodney Blackstock has got a ponytail. What IS he thinking?!!!! #emmerdale,” wrote one bemused viewer.

While another added: “Lose the ponytail, Hackett. #rodneyblackstock #target #Emmerdale.”

Commenting on Rodney’s flowing luscious locks, one audience member joked: “I’m 37 and bald. Rodney Blackstock is 70 and he has a ponytail! Life is so f***ing unfair!”

Even flame-haired Bernice had something to say on the matter. She told him to get rid of the “ridiculous” look after asking if his new lover had suggested the trendy style. But Rodney turned down her offer of a cut, replying: “You’re not touching my hair.”

Patrick Mower News: When Patrick Mower visited the Cowley Bingo Hall

Source: OXFORD MAIL

OXFORD-born actor Patrick Mower dropped in to a bingo hall to lend a hand with calling the numbers in 1977. The star of cop show Target was visiting the Regal in Cowley Road to present cheques to two lucky winners.

Mr Mower, who lived in Ridgefield Road, Oxford, said he used to sneak in to the hall when he was a child. When he returned to the club he was watched by his proud mum Peggy Johnson who still lived close by and played at the bingo club most afternoons and some evenings.

Nellie Stockford, of Yarnton, who was presented her £500 cheque by Mr Mower, said: “It was wonderful to meet him but I was more nervous than when I called house.”

Mr Mower had just returned from a holiday in Spain and was about to produce a film of his own before starting filming a new series of Target. The BBC series was cancelled in 1978.
