Where's Rita?

[mrs.chappie]

I've not seen her on Corrie for ages. Anyone know where she's supposed to be?

[sadielady]

Believe she is on a cruise

[sherrardk]

And when are they going to say where Deidre's mam has gone?

[Captin Kirk]

down Canal Street

[mrs.chappie]

Thanks chums. I read somewhere ages ago, the actress who plays her is in her seventies. I was wondering if she's retired.

[Sandy-Wroe]

Retired? I think she's dead. RIP

[mrs.chappie]

Oooh Sandy. I think she looks terrific (for her age).

[jackthehat]

^ barb's answer is the correct one.
Maggie Jones is the one who died............

[sadielady]

In the storyline Blanche is supposed to be away looking after a friend who has broken her leg

[mrs.chappie]

Hi jack.

I wonder how they're going to write Blanche's demise into the storyline. Any ideas? I suppose they could always just say she has died in her sleep.

[Sandy-Wroe]

She was about the same age as Ken Barlow. It must make him think...

[jackthehat]

As she's 'flat-sitting' in Portugal...............I think the storyline writers could probably come up with many topical ways to bump her off. :o)

[sherrardk]

I knew that the actress was dead - just wondered when they are going to 'kill off' her character. I remember years ago in Neighbours that Jim died yet they never buried him (unlike Archie in EE who died ages ago, but they only started discussing the funeral on Tuesday and planted him on Thursday!).

sorry mrs.c you posted asking where to go in York and I posted McArthur Glenn but never got a reply....

[sadielady]

I think they might just leave her at her "friends" as her carer, maybe they will kill her off whilst she's there

[Sandy-Wroe]

Or Harold in Neighbours. He was washed into the sea by a tsunami and returned years later none the worse for wear.

[mrs.chappie]

Craft, are you thinking of someone else? Mrs Overall perhaps? I sometimes get mistaken for her.

I wouldn't ask where to go in York as hubby and I have been many times and he knows it quite well.
