In the television series Poirot, what is the name of Hercule Poirot’s loyal secretary?

Miss Felicity Lemon is Hercule Poirot’s loyal secretary in the television series Agatha Christie’s Poirot. Pauline Moran played Miss Lemon throughout the ITV series, which starred David Suchet as Poirot.

Miss Lemon is known for her efficiency, excellent filing, and preference for precise organization. She works in Poirot’s London office and helps with correspondence, research, and practical arrangements. Her highly orderly personality fits Poirot’s own insistence on method and neatness.

The television character is based on Miss Lemon from Agatha Christie’s novels and short stories. In Christie’s fiction, Miss Lemon is also an exceptionally competent secretary, although the television series gives her a more developed recurring presence and connects her with Poirot’s wider circle.

Miss Lemon is sometimes confused with Miss Marple because both are recurring female characters in Christie adaptations. They are entirely different: Jane Marple is an amateur village detective, while Miss Lemon is Poirot’s professional secretary. The series ran from 1989 to 2013 and adapted many Poirot cases.
