Performer biography
Honeysuckle Weeks is an English actor best known as Samantha Stewart, later Wainwright, in the ITV wartime detective drama Foyle's War. The character's long-running partnership with Christopher Foyle made Weeks central to that series.

Career background ↗Honeysuckle Weeks’s Midsomer roles
Honeysuckle Weeks plays Fleur Bridges in Blood Will Out. The Series 2 story concerns a travelling community and a village in conflict with it, placing Fleur within that particular early Tom Barnaby investigation. This credit comes before the television role most strongly associated with Weeks in the existing career profile. The Midsomer character and original episode title are the useful starting points when finding the appearance.
For a rewatch, the Casebook suggests considering the different groups brought together by the episode’s premise and the way the guest characters are introduced around that dispute. This is a spoiler-light viewing angle rather than an account of Fleur’s motives or the eventual solution. The case page adds the remaining cast and named filming connections, while the source below supports the performer-to-role credit. Recognition from later television work belongs to the actor’s biography, not to Fleur Bridges’s fictional past. Keeping those separate makes it easier to compare a familiar face with a role that has its own place in the original Barnaby era.
