  • I haven't watched Corrie for about 5 years, but even so, this news makes me a bit sad. Mind, 75 years, pretty good innings. Especially as she caned the cigs.

  • I think she would have been tickled at having made Holy Moly.
    Shame she never got round to suing Hank Marvin for stealing her look. RIP Blanche.
