Anne Kirkbride, the actress who played Deidre Barlow for the last 42 years on Coronation Street has died of cancer,
We all know that the character she played on Coronation Street, smoked too much.
Maybe it was the reason for Anne’s death.
We’ll know tomorrow.
She was a hugely popular figure at Granada Studios, in nearby Manchester.
A Facebook friend of my wife described her as a loving aunt.
Most people I knew as a teenager smoked cigarettes. It was the done thing.
My brother died of bladder cancer last December, and as a massive fan of Corrie he will be talking with Deidre right now, introducing her to life beyond the pearly gates.
Thank you for your input Anne.
