is this death a real death caught on camera apparently someone said it was! wots truth!

[MusicalsMakeMyWorldS]

@pianogirlie123 Nope. It was a hard scene for the cast because Lynne Carol was sacked from the show in the cast clear out stupidly brought in with the new producer. The cast struggled because Lynne was such a good actress to work with and her death (in most people's view) was one of the stupidest things they ever did with the street. But yeah Len Fairclough announces she's dead, but the actor couldn't bring himself to say it as everyone knew that was the last scene with Lynne.

@pianogirlie123 So i think somewhere in the information you read you got mixed up, i can see how it is easily done when there's so much different information about. But yeah this death was a planned one and the actress lived until 1990 :) hope that cleared it up for you :)

The sound is really good on this considering how old it is !

Has it been remastered?

[MusicalsMakeMyWorldS]

@thekroton i don't think so. Think that's the quality it was :)

[EmoDeathStar121]

They Should of Brought her back like let her have the heart attack but survive it

[MusicalsMakeMyWorldS]

They had to kill her off coz they stupidly made the decision to fire her. Much to annoyance of the viewers and the cast.

What a great way to go - all your pals and neighbours around you - in the warmth of the snug.

The snug and select and public bars were ripped out in 1986 after the fire with barmaids and pub manager bet lynch ( soon bet gilroy) Granada had built an outside set and the rovers was redesigned knocking 3 bars into 1. Ena, Minnie and Martha were like sisters. Where 1 was the other 2 were aswell. That was one of 2 deaths seen in the rovers. Ex builder ray Langton died in 2005 after stomach problems. It's interesting the fact that the soaps are like families to us. When a person passes away
