Re: Blanche in Corrie died
Will be a big gap. She was hilarious - she had great lines, well done those scriptwriters. The way she delivered some of those one liners was classiccourtesy of the Mail.
• Telling Liz McDonald off for leaving her washing all over the sitting room in Ken Barlow’s house: ‘Kenneth doesn’t want to stare at thongs all day. The man’s an intellectual!’
• On Liz McDonald: ‘Skirt no bigger than a belt, too much eyeliner, and roots as dark as her soul!’
• As Deirdre rejects the proposal of Ken, who had got down on one knee: 'Well if you leave it much longer he won’t be able to get up again!’
• On men’s fashion: ‘I don’t have any truck with tank tops. They’re unmanly.’
• To Deirdre: ‘Good looks are a curse. You and Ken should count yourselves lucky.’
• To Ken when he spots her watching daytime TV: ‘Don’t worry, it’s only Jeremy Kyle, I’ve more or less been living that show this year.’
• To Steve McDonald: ‘That’s the second fiancée to chuck that ring away. You’d be better off buying a boomerang!’
• To her daughter, Deirdre Barlow: ‘You need to learn to enjoy other people’s misfortune; otherwise you’re going to have a very unhappy old age.’
• To Norris Cole, who has just denounced speed bumps as ‘ugly and unattractive’: ‘So are you, but at least they have some use.’
• Deirdre: ‘If you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all.’ Blanche: ‘I think I’ll go home then.’
• To Emily Bishop, who was reminiscing about their childhood and wishing 'I was three again': 'Oh yes.. rickets, TB, rationing, those were the days.'
