This week Rita and Dennis are going to realise their feelings have deepened from friendship to love and we'll be celebrating the coming of a new flame haired Mrs. Tanner on Coronation Street.
Elsie was the first in a long line of red haired women and Rita Littlewood has long been one of the mainstays in that category, which has included Irma Ogden Barlow, Claire Peacock, Fiz Stape, and Jenny Bradley, just to name a few.
Rita, also affectionately known in some online communities as the Big Red Wig, has been on Coronation Street since 1964, though not a regular until the early 70s. With that in mind, I've done a character study on our Reet over here.

Unbelievable. She must be 80-odd and he looks about 50-ish. He doesn't work, we know nothing about him, he sounds like a gold digger and she's as gullible as Audrey.
Thanks for the link to my post Tvor :) But, the link doesn't work for some reason :/
Dennis turns 70 in April this year, so perfectly feasible that he doesn't work.
I don't think he's a gold digger - just an old boy who's fallen on hard times, and it's perfectly plausible that he and Rita should marry, for companionship as much as for love.
Sorry, fixed the link in the other post.
I agree, Nick. I'm a bit perturbed by all this "Dennis is a sponger" and "Dennis should get a job" business. It's clear to me, in all the little scenes we've been getting since last year, that Dennis really does care for Rita...
How is 71 year old Dennis supposed to get a job when 18 year olds cant? Cant he operate a sewing machine like every other resident in the Street?
Annonymous said,'we know nothing about him'...what a silly thing to say! Rita has known Dennis for 45+ years..
I love Rita,she's one of my favourite corrie characters. She has a big heart and endearing personality. She's a beautiful woman and always looks amazing.
