Regular readers (hello, mum) will know by now that Rita is my all-time favourite female Coronation Street character. She always has been and as long as she's on the cobbles, she always will be. So I hope you'll indulge me a blog post in her honour every now and then and she certainly deserves one now. All this nasty business with Colin Grimshaw might have knocked the wind out of Rita's sails but Barbara Knox once again shows what a class act she is and what depth Rita's got.See also:

ReplyDeleteI had a feeling you'd agree! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love Barabara too. Her screen wedding to Len Fairclough was my favourite wedding and her partnership with Thelma Barlow was one of the most enduring of the show's history. The moving scene where Reet was told she was too old to adopt. Staying in that caravan at Morecambe with Bet Lynch and her days as the Weatherfield Nightingale singing in the Gatsby! By 'eck chuck, those were the days.
ReplyDeleteLong may she reign.
