Rita From Corrie

[Mags22]

There's a news snippet comes up on my facebook saying that Rita is being removed from Corrie due to her age!!!!! Has anyone heard anything about this? I think she's great for her age

[TWR]

I doubt it, can you remember Blance, Betty, A Tadlock & a few others?

[mallyh]

wasn't betty in her 90's and emily is older too.

[MargoTester]

I can't see why they would remove her, unless she is unwell or wants to go. They would be accused of ageism if they did!

Or she's been caught drinking...again ;-)

[PankySmooch]

Is drinking a crime now?

[B00]

Tis when you're driving- aye!

[PankySmooch]

Ahh, but you didn't say that

[corylus]

She'll still be there marking up the papers when everybody else in the terrace has been re-housed because of the overcrowding.

Not watched it for years. Is the character still played by that bloke in drag?

[Mamyalynne]

No,they got rid of him - he couldn't walk in heels when he hit 80. So they brought Barbara Knox back.

[Gromit]

Thanks Mamyalynne,

Does she still have her job as a cabaret strip artist?

[Mamyalynne]

Only on Bank Holidays and Christmas these days.

That's one of those advertising scams that draw you in - they mention a star and people click on it to see what its all about.
