Very sad news. I used to love her role in the Royale Family. May she RIP.

Oh that's so sad, both her and Victoria Wood gone within a couple of months of each other

If memory serves she used t battle depression. Not uncommon for comedians.

Just realised now she's the voice on gogglebox.

Sad to hear of Caroline's death. Such a young age to die and such a loss to the world of comedy. May she Rest In Peace.

Sad news. Didn't know she was ill.

So 2016 strikes again.

That is so sad. An incredibly talented actress and comedian. Genuinely loved watching her...from her early stuff (fast show) right through.

She was brilliant in the royle family. Watch the episode where she goes into labour and her and Ricky Tomlinson sit on the floor talking and you will cry your eyes out.

She will truly be missed. An absolute great.

RIP.

So shocked when I read this.
I absolutely loved The Royle Family when I was younger and still watch re-runs to this day.
She was such a talent. What a loss.

Tipsy McSwagger

A comedy genius. RIP

PTH2009

So sad great comedian and writer. Rip

This also marks the end of the royle family (I don't think Craig cash will write it without her or the rest of the actors will do it out of respect)

El Chapo

She actually co-wrote the Royale Family with Craig Cash (Dave).

Loved her as Denise.

Gets up to make tea.

Jim says "grab my fags while you're in there, love".

Denise replies "shove a brush up my arse and I'll sweep the floor".

RIP.

Hard to believe. A troubled but gifted person.

When is 2016 going to end?

Maireadio

This absolutely sucks. I was a big fan of Caroline's - she was a huge talent.

Not unexpected though, I knew she had lung cancer.

R.I.P Loved her as Mrs Merton. A great talent. The curse of 2016 strikes again.

Tell me how

That's very sad. Commiserations to her family.

Hope Craig Cash is dealing Ok with the news. Must be like losing a partner for him.

Outlaw Pete

Fantastic comedy writer and actress. Loved her on The Fast Show.

RIP.

Throat cancer is a curse. I have laughed so long and so hard at Caroline Aherne over the years. A sad day.

mansize

What first attracted you to millionaire Paul Daniels?


Loved that line. Great comedian.
Fast Show, Royle Family- great writing

Defrosting the turkey in the bath...

It's nearly as if she only appeared on TV for the first time only recently- RIP.

maudgonner

That's awful news.

She had an amazing talent for creating characters that were unlikable and said terribly harsh, funny things but were real and very lovable.

Strumms

She was an insanely talented and hilarious lady. One of those people who I absolutely enjoyed everything she turned her hand to. 2016 has indeed been so ****. RIP Caroline and thanks for all the laughs...:(

Dr Crayfish

Absolutely loved her in the Fast Show. This is so sad. As for the 2016 stuff, get used to it, baby boomers are dropping now like flies (although she was a bit younger than most 2016 celeb deaths), and this was the first generation of celebrity. Wait until 50 years from now when people like Rylan and the singer from the Go Compare ads are dying every 15 minutes (just about the amount of time they were famous for!)

RIP Caroline

Fave Royle Family moment:

"Get your coat on, Barbara"
"Aww Jim, you taking me out then?"
"No, I'm turning the fire off"

Winterlong

She had it tough. Cancer three times. Alcoholism. Broken marriage to Peter Hook and the death of her former partner (cant remember his name).
But boy was she funny. Very funny.
Sad to hear this news.

Gerinspain

This is so sad....she was comedy gold.

Scorchio gets used a lot in our house

Cee-Jay-Cee

So sad, she was such a talented actress. Rest in peace.

K.Flyer

Loved her work, so clever, and brave.
Rest in Peace our Denise.

Am I the only one to have ever noticed she was also actually gorgeous?

Buona Fortuna

Certainly very pretty. I think this might have been overlooked because of the characters she played.

ShagNastii

So gutted about this. Such a talent.

It is easy to lose the run of yourself when a celeb dies but I will echo comments about her genius.

When you think of the premise of The Royal Family. Every episode was written with the characters based solely in the sitting room (talking about this-talking about that) and it never fluctuated from this. Every episode was hilarious and engaging. That takes some talent to write such a sit com.

getzls

Paul Daniels might be having a few words with her.

So Mr. Grim Reaper what first attracted you to Caroline

Personally, I generally only comment on the RIP threads of people I was a fan of, and I was a huge, huge fan of Caroline's so I have no problem saying I feel so sad right now. Watching comedy is a big part of my life and the people who have who made me laugh down the years have had a profound effect on me.

Maireadio

Love this. Very magnanimous of Debbie McGee. Of course, she's had her own sad loss this year.

The episode of Royle family where nana dies for me is the most briliant piece of television ever made. So funny and yet so heartbreaking, its a work of genius. For her many faults Denise was my hero. Thanks for the laughs Caroline

rustynutz

Gutted to hear this, loved her on the Fast Show and the Royle Family, RIP

Very sad to hear of her passing, she was very talented and her writing for 'The Royle Family' was exceptional at times, whilst both of you were watching Pulp Fiction.

LordSutch

My memories of her are from the supermarket checkout girl in the Fast Show!

Talented lady by all accounts, sad loss.

RIP Ms Aherne a lady who gave us so much laughter her Irish wit lives on.

Dirty Dingus McGee

Sad to hear.

The Royle Family is one of the greatest sitcoms ever.

Incredibly well written in that it didn't feel like it was written at all.

The Queen of Sheba episode is one of the most beautiful and moving episodes of television ever created.To be able to get an episode of television so right shows what a genius she was.

Heisenberg1

RIP I absolutely loved the Royle family.

Ethanol is the most common form of which substance ?

Dave: Alcohol I taught you would have known that Denise.

Denise: I've never even drank Ethanol.

Genius writing you will be sorely missed.

worried07

Just so young. 52. Cancer is horrible. I hope she's at peace now.

The royle family is so lifelike, a lot of people can relate to it.

The sunday dinner, the grandmother being there, the neighbours etc

I knw the actor who played Twiggy died a few years ago, did the irish actress who played the neighbour Mary die too ???
