Red-headed Rita, Queen of the Kabin

I don't know about you but I was shocked and stunned this week on Coronation Street when writer Jonathan Harvey revealed that Rita wasn't a real red-head. As the Queen of the Kabin is my personal favourite Corrie character, I couldn't let that go without a blog post. And so, here's a tribute to red-headed Rita, the Kabin shopkeeper.

Even in black and white, you knew Rita was a fiery red head, never afraid to speak her mind and speak as she finds.







Mind you, it looks like she did go for a darker brown at least once...

... although the green perm might have been a mistake.

Want to see more Corrie hair-do horrors? Gail's is here and Deirdre's is here.

Can we have Jim Macdonld return.
Let him get released and return
to the street to reunit with Liz.
Or hook him up with Eileen.

Jim could work for Kevin, Bill or
Steve running street cars.
Steve could spend more time at the pub.
Emily deserves a new life partner.
And Norris move out when she get
remarried.
