Maggie Jones, the actress best known for portraying the sharp-tongued Blanche Hunt in Coronation street has died at the age of 75. after appearing to make a good recovery from surgery, she deteriorated rapidly yesterday morning and passed away peacefully in her sleep,
I have to confess to being a fan, I didn’t like her character for a long time, but she wore me down over the last few years.
Her comedy timing was impeccable and she often slipped in her own one liners, surprisingly to which the producers did not object as her contributions were often better than the writers ones.
She won several comedy awards for playing Blanche, although she became a regular cast member only in 1998, after numerous occasional appearances. she was in 830 episodes.
RIP Blanche.
