Current Affairs
61

Left the show only a couple of months back on leave after complaining of not being able to cope with the job.

Now dead after a ‘short illness’.

Of course I’m only speculating.

62

They’ll raise a drink to her in The Rovers.

First Blanche and now this. Steve McDonald can’t catch a break.

Dont follow. You saying she topped herself?

64

Trying to read between the lines - yes.

No mention of a physical illness anywhere.

Died in a hospital anyway.

67

It could well be.

@balbec

What is there to dislike about what I said?

Disagree - fair enough.

I just think you go on about suicide a bit too much. That’s all.

70

Fair enough - that’s your opinion.

But if anything this country has learned is that brushing it under the carpet doesn’t do much good.

Agree. But maybe she just died?

72

I never doubted that ‘she just died’.

Anyway a brain tumour being reported now.

Do i get a prize now?

75

Given that she smoked about 3 boxes of Superkings in every episode of Coronation Street, I’d venture she died of cancer…She loved her fags did Deirdre.

But I, too, am only speculating. Anyway, may she rest in peace.

Your track record of reading between the lines isnt great though…

Spent her last few days in a hospice apparently. Cancer is the cause being confirmed according to the wireless.

Anne Kirkbride’s death stopped me in my tracks last night. But still no celebrity death has shocked and upset me like that of Richard Whiteley. Gone but never forgotten.

79

I noticed that. You broke the almost permanent silence that exists in the apartment to break the news to myself and @LetterkennyMan

I was at my mother’s earlier and she was reading the paper and i oversaw that she was reading a tribute if you will to Deirdre from Coronation Street. There was a picture of her from her younger days, i’d guess early to mid 20’s and she was quite a looker. Lovely long legs on her, i was thinking i’d definitely have given her one. In fact i would have for a long time, probably until she hit her 50’s.
