did`nt lennard pearce (grandad trotter) play in corrie ? does anyone know what character he played

[MusicalsMakeMyWorldS]

@unclemort1960 14th May 1969 Lennard Pearce played Mr Bracegirdle. He flirts with Annie and gets thrown out of the pub by Jack Walker. I think he only came into that episode.

[BIJMOZ]

OMG who's at 0:29 ?

[MusicalsMakeMyWorldS]

@BIJMOZ The Original actress of Blanche

[kidderguy]

You missed out Noel Dyson who played Ida Barlow.

[MusicalsMakeMyWorldS]

@kidderguy

Is she dead? that's one i never actually found out about :/ what about Doreen Keogh? 

[MusicalsMakeMyWorldS]

@CarlD2 Yeah. I always think in the pub scenes when i see Rita, Emily and Norris together and their gossiping. R Martha, Ena and Minnie going to appear in the booth next to them discussing pointless information, and then i watch arguments and think, bring on those one line remarks from Len and Harry and also think, Elsie/Ena have better arguments. It really isnt the same nemore it is becoming a young persons show i feel, like Hollyoaks, and people are forgetting those who made it a success.

This is a nice tribute. These wonderful actors left us in so many different ways, some natural, some heartbreaking and fast, but they all leave behind such a wonderful legacy. Their work remains so fresh and strong, and we are still marveling at them 20, 30, 40, 50 years later. You really honor them. And that last picture is perfect.

I thought Bernard Yoeunes died of a stroke or heart attack in 1984 off screen & due to this Stanley Ogden died in hospital

[beulahethel]

Who was that baby

[weirdalfan1980]

I never knew her because I am a new fan, but I see what Ena Sharples was like. The show need more Ena Shaples whos a severe character morally on cue and a person you dont wanna mess with. Give Tracy Barlow a run for her life.

You featured two actors there who are still alive (albeit they were in photos with actors who have since left us). Jean Alexander who played Hilda Ogden, and Phillip Lowrie who played Dennis Tanner are still around.
