RMweb Gold big jim Posted January 20, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 20, 2015 i was actually quite sad hearing about this on the radio this morning although i'm not a fan of modern day corrie, i only tend to see it when my wife is watching it on catch up, 'deirdrie' was one of those characters that the nation took to heart and many have grown up with, not one of these 2 a penny, 6 month contract, off to record an album and then into the jungle soap stars you get today remember the public outcry when she got sent to prison, her on screen rapport with william roache was brilliant, both very touching and at the same time some funny moments, wasn't their wedding the most watched soap moment at one time? similarly her relationship with her on screen mother, blanche (who also died a few years back) was brilliant, and they looked so similar too be interesting to see how the scrip writers handle her passing, again i dont think the fans will accept the usual soap thing of 'she's moved to london', im sure most will want a proper send off for her! poor ken, whats he going to do now....... ........must remember 'its not real!' as i keep telling my wife when shes explaining whats happening in soap land Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
