Well I suppose it makes look a bit more realistic but not needed really.

I don't think its necessary to see corpses.......seeing Audrey looking down would have been quite sufficient

Pssst - he wasn't really a corpse, you know - he was just acting.

Yes Billy I know


what I mean is,its unneccesary..its Corrie..not the Hammer house of horror ;D

I also would not like to have to act out lying in a coffin, now I will probably sound superstitious but that seems too much like tempting fate.

I fell about laughing when Audrey touched Fred's hand and remarked how cold he was.

That's because he's dead.!!

BTW did Audrey do Fred's last make-up and head shave? That was her little side-line for a while.

[Nick]

LOL Pearly


I agree mrs D..it is like tempting fate..look at poor Bryan Mosley...not long after being dead in the chair as Alf he died in real life.

my one superstition is ..and it sounds daft.. I won't say something like.....

.....'If its the last thing i do' or 'If it kills me' as in..I'll get this flat clean if it kills me' or 'I'll get to the top of this hill if its the last thing i do'...funny coz I'm not superstitious about anything else

Lucy Mangan in today's Grauniad :

It is possible that all middle-aged women up north are all sozzled all the time. Certainly Bev (Coronation Street, 7.30, ITV) is doing little to disabuse us of the notion. Devastated by Fred's death and further by the fact that it transpired that his enlarged heart was devoted to Audrey all along, she has been not so much hitting the bottle as pounding it into submission and rolling around in the results. "Shall I make you a cup of tea?" said a kindly but naive employee to the landlady, whose eyes were rolling in her head like ice cubes in a recently drained tumbler of the good stuff. "No," she replied. "I'll have a gin. Save on the electric." At this rate, the Rovers will be selling power back to the National Grid.

While the rest of the street went about its business - Kirk spending "a pigging fortune" on a motorbike for Fizz, Jamie edging ever closer to his Oedipal moment, Rosie still raining down tears on Craig's abandoned and curiously well-appointed squat - Ashley, Clurr and Bev went to the reading of Fred's will. As Bev never quite made it to the altar, she got nothing. She returned disconsolate to the pub. "Audrey Roberts has stolen my life!" she declared. Then she added "But the best revenge will be living well!" and strode off to begin a new life saving street kids in Colombia. No, she didn't. She thumped the bar with her fist and cried "Gin! Now!" Attagirl, Bev. Attagirl.

She's pathetic.

[sootycat]

I don't reckon she will be with us for much longer..........jobless. homeless etc, might as well go and join Shelley.

[sallywebster]

In fairness she has just lost her husband (well he would have been had he lived 10 minutes longer!)

[CG Wendy]

I really feel sorry for Bev. But jeez Bev get a grip girl. Before long she`ll break Stan Ogdens record of the most pickled liver in t`Rovers history
;D

[RitaLittlewood]

Stupid way to write her out though - again.

bev is driving me mad when she keeps saying ,10 minutes longer thats all grrr

My friend in Yorkshire isn't much of a Corrie watcher these days but did see Fred's death. She said she had to laugh when Audrey heard the little crash because Fred wasn't the type to create a little crash.
