Ross Poldark. Those who watched the drama unfurl in the 1970s will remember Robin Ellis playing pained protagonist, Ross Poldark as his fiancee ran off with his cousin and he turned to his servant Demelza for comfort.
He was no longer happy living at Trenwith because it reminded him of Elizabeth, and he took Valentine and Ursula to live in Cardew for a while.
George WarlegganGeorge Warleggan is the primary antagonist of Winston Graham's Poldark novels, and its TV adaptations. He was portrayed by Ralph Bates in the 1975 series and by Jack Farthing in the 2015 series.
Related to: Poldark, Season 3. George Warleggan is elected the Member of Parliament for Truro and Ross Poldark is elected as our least favorite grump who refuses to act.
George is still seeing things On the plus side for George, he did get knighted by the king and is now officially Sir George Warleggan. But that fancy title likely won't do him a lot of good if he ends up in the madhouse. If only uncle Cary Warleggan would give Dr. Enys a call.
Warleggan just does not appear as a surname within modern genealogical sources, or indeed within the International Genealogical Index. Variants that do emerge include Worlech, Worlock and Warling, although it appears that in the end both Warleggan and Poldark were created for Graham's books.
After secretly taking a seedy physician's potion, Elizabeth produced a healthy daughter, Ursula, but tragically died of gangrene. Only Dwight, who discovered her empty medicine bottle, knows what happened. George, left alone with only Valentine, his uncle Cary, and baby Ursula, takes Elizabeth's death hard.
She met and fell in love with Dwight Enys, a doctor but Ray forbade them from marrying. They decided to elope, but Dwight was late the evening they arranged to meet up and run away. Caroline then went away without him. Caroline eventually came back to Cornwall, and she and Dwight became close again.
Years after Elizabeth Warleggan died, George remarries out of convenience. His second wife is Lady Harriet Warleggan, a high society widow. Their marriage doesn't go exactly as planned.
In the Poldark Season 4 finale, we see Elizabeth using a fake name to procure a tincture from a back alley doctor to induce early labor. She's warned it could cause complications, but goes ahead with it.
While the events of Poldark are not a true story, notable events and key figures of the early 1800s have certainly influenced the plot. Cornwall, where Poldark is set, was once home to John Wesley, founder of Methodism and well-known anti-slave trade campaigner.
Charlestown. Charlestown near St Austell, famed for its collection of ships and traditional appearance, has long caught the attention of location managers and for the filming of Poldark stood in for Cornwall's city of Truro.
Fans took to social media to discuss Sunday night's episode of Poldark, which saw the antagonist George Warleggan finally realise that the father of Elizabeth's son, Valentine, is actually Ross.

The original Poldark cast before the reign of Aidan Turner and Eleanor Tomlinson - Cornwall Live. Tom Cruise 'seen' in Cornwall is actually Peter from Portsmouth. The Hollywood legend has been understood to be on a rented superyacht off the coast and many have claimed to have seen him out and about in a smaller boat.
In the 1970s sex, scandal and lavish costumes enabled Poldark to set the benchmark for period dramas.

New actor: Ruby Bentall, who first gained acclaim for playing Minnie Mude in Lark Rise To Candleford.
Demelza. Poor Angharad Rees was often referred to as the “unlikely looking” wife of dashing Poldark in her role as lowly servant Demelza. But in reality she became a sex symbol as a result of the hit show. She also went on to be a successful stage actress, bagging a CBE for her services to theatre.
The actress Mary Wimbush went on to become a stalwart of the West End theatre, and also played three separate roles in the long-running BBC Radio 4 soap The Archers.
Elizabeth Chynoweth. In 1975 the nation hated Jill Townsend – or her character, Elizabeth, at least. The object of Poldark's affections ran off with none other than his cousin, Francis. Perhaps she never really regained the love of the public.
