    No, that's a different actor altogether.

    Anne Kirkbride has died or her character will no longer be on the show?

    The actress has died. Presumably the character will be written out....unless they hire Lucasfilm or something...

    How very sad. I can't imagine there is a person alive that doesn't know her face. A tragic loss of a household face.

    R.I.P. Anne.

    Haven't watched Corrie in years. Was she still in it until recently?

    That's fairly shocking to hear she's dead though, considering Dot Cotton is still on the go.

    Ah bless! RIP Anne Kirkbride. Sad to hear that. Such a tremendous part of Corrie for as long as I can remember!

    Ah was thinking that! Yeah didn't she take a break there due to exhaustion after the Rob/Tracy/Tina storyline?

    Just the other day I read this about her possibly quitting the show for good.

    I thought the title was clear. The actress died.

    Who'll fill in for the character now then?

    Norris has been a bit slack lately, he could cover both of them

    No not really.
    It's just I heard she was returning soon, and then I didn't hear that she had been unwell or anything?
    Shock!

    I always thought she would be 10 years older than that. 60 is no age at all to be dying.
