Maggie Stables was a British actress who played the part of the companion Evelyn Smythe in a range of audio dramas by Big Finish Productions based on the BBC television series Doctor Who.
Stables turned to acting as a second career after retiring from a long-held position as a French teacher. After some experience in musical theatre, in 1991, she acted in a production of Jane Eyre, with Nicholas Briggs. This led to Briggs' later casting Stables as Ruthley in Big Finish's first Doctor Who play, The Sirens of Time, and as Evelyn the following year.
