We didn't even get the pay-off to the gag - that he was really the boy's grandad, playing the same game as Liz. He was a very different sort of chap for Liz, not her usual type at all, and I think it a shame it was Cobblestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01636002429906543635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-5099064340032380382016-10-12T01:26:38.707+01:002016-10-12T01:26:38.707+01:00When are they going to show Fat Brenda?

I recall a newspaper piece, possibly late 1990s, which suggested that Rita would be confronted by her long-lost son. It then went on to say that Barbara Knox was, allegedly, furious about the storyline and it died a death.Clinkers (David)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11769819154548522408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-70072015688166483632016-10-09T01:01:04.464+01:002016-10-09T01:01:04.464+01:00HowieHowieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919798449491995676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-83108136725852169182016-10-09T00:58:32.988+01:002016-10-09T00:58:32.988+01:00HowieHowieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919798449491995676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-27872859583454106972016-10-09T00:55:39.865+01:002016-10-09T00:55:39.865+01:00There was an abandoned storyline years ago which w...There was an abandoned storyline years ago which would have seen Rita as landlady of the Rovers! After Bet's departure, Rita and Alec Gilroy were an item for a while. It was planned that they would marry and she would help him run the Rovers. But Roy Barraclough quit his role and that plan ended up on the scrapheap.

I thought they were horribly ill-suited. Audrey has quite enough drama dealing with her own family, anyway! <br /><br />I know things like maternity leaves also often make for very awkward storylines leading to the actor's temporary departure.
