Finally, after three years of hard work shortly an amazing return of the most beloved detective with unmistakable mustache: Hercule Poirot.
The novel will be published in three languages.

Google for articles about David Suchet and his take on the character, and how he "became" Poirot before a filming, and how he gets back into character. Kind of a hoot!
I felt like there were two Countess Rossakoffs in the series - Kika Markham's character and Orla Brady's. I like Brady's characterization a little better - more vivacious, more personality - but I don't like the way things end between her and Poirot, or how she behaves in trying to protect the killer
The "two Countesses" is just one reason for my sense that there were almost two Poirot series' (pre-2003 and the "darker" one after 2003.)
And I just found a whole imdb thread devoted to that premise (of two series'): www.imdb.com/title/tt0094525/b…

You have GoodOldBaz to thank for my joining at all. I have been watching the final episodes of the David Suchet series and started looking for other people blogging about it, particularly about Poirot and the Countess.
GoodOldBaz came up with "Poirotkoff" for shipping name, which is pretty good, but what about "Poirossakoff?"
There is an entire tumblr blog devoted to Vera Rossakoff, which GoodOldBaz is on: www.tumblr.com/search/vera%20r…
And has everyone seen this blog, which reviews the series? There is one for every episode but there are blogs for characters as well: investigatingpoirot.blogspot.c…
Baz comments with her fanfiction that she refuses to believe Curtain is canon. Well, I was SO looking forward to the Countess's reappearance in Labours, but now I would rather THAT wasn't canon!
Most of the fans who are blogging about it seem to think Poirot made some choice rejecting her, or think they were divided by social class or something. Like this one: opionator.wordpress.com/2013/1…
("Once, he might have redeemed her"; "Had he chosen differently all those years ago, they might have shared a great love."; "too set in their roles.")
But what about her asking him to "spare" a brutal serial killer? Didn't she seem more upset about the arrest than about what said killer had done? Doesn't that upgrade her villainy, so to speak, making her a lot "worse" than we thought? And could she really not have known all that time, that she was with Marrascaud?
Maybe Poirot just realizes she's not trustworthy? The show itself never resolved what she was telling the truth about. Or, are they saying that way back when, when they first met, he could have done something to save her from a life of crime? Don't forget that the first time, he DID choose his feelings over justice, in a way, in that he didn't turn her in.
Though I will say, I do think seeing Alice made him jealous - she was living evidence that the Countess had a more serious relationship with someone else. Or, at least, a more physical one.
And also, while I think both Kika Markham and Orla Brady did fine jobs in their own way, I really had trouble believing they were the same character. The physical resemblance was fine - I just thought the characterization was so different. Orla Brady being, admittedly, a little closer to the books.
In the books, the Countess is in league with the Big Four, but it is not too hard to infer that she is actually secretly working to bring them down. Every time she makes an appearance in that book, she rescues someone. The Big Four are alleged to have cause the Russian revolution so why would she help them?
And when she and Poirot meet again in "The Capture of Cerberus" they act as though they've always been friends (or more.) In that short story, Poirot proves that (although probably still a thief) she is NOT guilty in the drug-dealing that is going on around her...and she rewards him for this with a pretty ardent kiss. This is all in Poirot's flat in the middle of the night! And when Japp arrives, she hides (Where?)
