Blanches Goodbye on Coronation Street
Sadly, on Monday we learned that poor Deirdre’s mother had died whilst in Portugal on Coronation St, so no wonder she was in tears when she found out. Especially after holding a welcome home get-together for when he mother arrived home.
Seeing as Deirdre couldn’t say her last goodbyes to her blessed old mum, she decides with Ken that they will travel to Portugal so that she can be in the last place that her mother was. However, when the couple arrive at the holiday destination, they find a bit more than what they bargained for.
Blanche must have known that Deirdre would go to home abroad, so she left her a little letter with jobs to be done and a goodbye.
Ken finds the letter tonight in the holiday home so obviously once Deirdre gave it a look over you can bet she’ll go into hysteria – all those contained and bottled up feelings finally coming out. To top it all off, it comes that time when all the funeral arrangements are being made and because of Deirdre’s state, it looks as if Peter will be making all of those arrangements himself.
As we know Maggie Jones, who played (Blanch) died in real life in December 2010 at the age of 75 after a short illness. So the bosses at Coronation St have waited until the time was right for her to leave the street also.
Let’s not forget about Norris and Mary’s recently odd trip, where we literally saw Mary keeping Norris as a hostage in the most unseen way as possible (to Norris’s eyes not ours), well that was until he clocked on and gained the courage to find a phone and ring the police.
So tonight Norris is making his statement about what happened on the trip, and because of his nature you can bet he was having a whale of a time to be in the making of getting Mary jailed.
But that merry circumstance doesn’t last for long once Norris finds out that Mary has in fact been released and is a free woman until further notice – if only the Corrie characters could have witnessed what we, the public, did when Norris was trapped with Mary.
