Role: John Sutton

Synopsis from CBS website:
Jenny (Jane Seymour), a happily married American architect, suddenly begins to experience recurring dreams about a woman named Mary living in a small Irish town with her four children and abusive husband. Soon after the dreams begin, Jenny discovers that she is pregnant. As her pregnancy progresses, Jenny's dreams turn into what seem to be personal recollections of the past. As her visions continue and become more detailed, Jenny realizes that Mary lived in 1930 and that her children could still be alive. Communication with Mary's children proves futile, so she decides to travel to Ireland to search for the children. Memories easily guide Jenny to Mary's hometown and the pieces start to fall into place. Jenny's detailed recollections lead her to Sonny (Hume Cronyn), Mary's eldest child, whose unique relationship with his mother has haunted him as well. While everyone struggles to accept what Jenny proves to be true, she must learn how to make peace with the past and live in the present.

Series Two - Shown 1995 in UK

"The Devil's Novice"
When an obnoxious monk/diplomat goes missing, various family members come under the scrutiny of Brother Cadfael. Eoin is in only one scene, at the very beginning of the episode. Hugh Beringer is off to Westminster to "render account of the shire and it's revenue to the king" (sort of appropriate that I watched this episode on April 15, tax day) and he's leaving the monolithic Sargeant Warden in charge.

"The Virgin in the Ice"

"St. Peter's Fair"
Town and gown strife rears its ugly head, as does murder, during St. Peter's Fair. Brother Cadfael's and Hugh Beringer's friendship suffers as allegiances are questioned and the sheriff gets cranky.

Series Three - Shown 1997 in UK

"The Rose Rent"
Murder hits close to home for Cadfael (Derek Jacobi) when a young, love struck monk (Graham McGrath) is found stabbed to death. The object of the late brother's devotion is a wealthy young widow (Kitty Aldridge) with many rivals for her hand. Can Cadfael expose the thorny assassin before he strikes again? (Description swiped from PBS Mystery Page.)

For some reason they tried to tame Eoin's hair in this episode. What a pity.

"The Raven in the Foregate"

Lovejoy (2/7/93)
Season 4 - "Fly The Flag"
Role: Beau Derek Whittaker

While renovating Shotley Church, "Beau" Derek Whittaker makes a remarkable discovery — an old regimental flag from the American War of Independence is hidden behind one of the statues. A cute show (marred mainly by a ludicrous subplot about a U.S. military officer's greed) with enough appearances by Eoin to make it worth looking for.

Anna Lee (1993)
Episode 1 - "Headcase"
Role: Quex

Anna, a former cop and newly established PI, takes on a missing persons case for an agency, looking for a missing young woman, but the goals change after she's found — in a mental institution, unable to recall her part in what appears to be a murder. (swiped from Television with an Accent! page)

Quex is apparently a large poet in this TV version of the story. Must have been a starving one, though, as he couldn't afford a first name in any episode guides.
