What was the reason she left Corrie on screen, wasn't she visiting a friend or something?

I wonder how/if they'll write her off.

RIP Anne Kirkbride. Thioughts are with her family and the cast and crew of coronation street. I think what most people will miss most about her is her iconic line 'TRACCCCYYYYY'

Such an amazing actress. Her veins in her neck scared me growing up. Tragic loss to Coronation Street. R.I.P. Anne Kirkbride

Would you rather he came on here and said he didn't fap to Deirdre?

Always seems to take someone dying for people in After Hours to go full retard. its very sad.

Only 60, far too young.
She will just be written out, possibly along with Bill Roach as I don't see where he can go now. He's also well over 80

The Strawman Argument

Her mam was always pretty hilarious, Blanche.

All I can really remember about her is a whole lot of people taking her character's prison sentence a bit too seriously when I was wee, can remember being confused wondering whether they all thought it was real or something.

I honestly couldn't believe it when I read the news only a few minutes ago.

She was one of many fine actresses on Coronation Street. I used to watch it regularly when my late granny used to watch it when I was a kid. For her to go at 60 is unbelievable.

May she rest in peace.

No, he (the fake pilot she was dating) framed her for some fraud. She was Deidre Rachid at the time.

I cant belive I remember this.

Yep Deirdre Rachid cos she married some Morrocan lad ? Shamir ?

anyway, I can't believe I remember it either . RIP - will be tough on Ken and Tracy ...

My thoughts are with Ken, Tracy and Eccles at this sad time.

Notorious97

Not a fan of the show but seen enough of it over the years growing up.

Was only listening to Ian Dempsey laughing at her crying sounds on the radio this morning about her last line before she left late last year.

Had no idea she had left but sad time for her family and friends.

I used to watch Corrie in my teens (80's) but am totally lost if I ever happen to catch some of an episode (normally when visiting my mother - she's been watching it pretty much since day one), I have to say from the little I saw of it, I think the show is a pale reflection of its former self.

IIRC she (the actor) had a bout of cancer ~20 years back and had to take a break, perhaps that had some bearing on her passing. 60 is far too young to die these days. RIP. I'll especially remember her for Deirdre's part in the Baldwin/Barlow triangle (back in the pre-satellite TV days when such things were national news) (and I think she had a fling with Dev at one point, as well as a stint in jail when framed for fraud?)

kenmccarthy

Thanks for replies!!!!! Vaugely remember the morrocan marriage storyline...........
was she ever in anything other than corrie??

Quote from Wiki about this.

The episode in 1983 when she ends her affair with Mike and reconciles with Ken was the highest rated episode and the news was so big it ended up being announced on the scoreboard during a Manchester United vs Arsenal match at Old Trafford, with the words "Ken and Deirdre reunited. Ken 1 - Mike 0" leading to cheers from the spectators.

RIP Anne kirkbride her character Deirdre was part of the glory days of
corrie her glasses gave me a laugh “There’s a fine line between Jackie O and Roy Orbison.”

KatW4

Quite a shock to hear this. I didn't like Deirdre Barlow but you can't deny that she was a great actress.

Venus In Furs

She had cancer a few years back I think.

Haven't watched Corrie in years - it turned into Dallas onth' cobbles due to ratings wars, but before all that shyte I enjoyed it; I liked Deirdre's storylines. Not sure she was that great an actress, but a great character nonetheless.

People talk about her prison storyline and her Moroccan toyboy who died donating a kidney to that little wench Tracy... but does anyone remember I think her first dramatic storyline: having an affair with Mike Baldwin? (When first married to Ken). Apparently made the neon board in Old Trafford during a match.
