Sad news for Corrie fans: Betty Driver, who played barmaid Betty Turpin for more than 40 years, has died, aged 91. I have to confess that I used to be a big Corrie fan in its glory days, but I hardly ever watch it now. But I have a very soft spot for down-to-earth stalwart Betty and I've often wondered what was in her famous hot-pot!
The BBC have a full obituary here.

I dont follow CORONATION STREET any more ( I have not for years)
ReplyDeleteBut I will raise a glass of stout to one of the most lovable characters of my childhood years
I watched it for awhile and enjoyed her very much. Rest in Peace, Betty.
ReplyDeleteI still miss Ena Sharples and Minnie Caldwell.
ReplyDeleteI love Coro Street... and Betty did well to live such a long and happy life. She will be missed by millions I reckon.
ReplyDeleteTom... I miss Ena and Minnnie too!
