To all the other commenters on this post, thanks for your eloquence and special way with words concerning Anne...and for your humor Humpty regarding the marrow and orifice lol.

For Annie or anyone. 60 is far too young to die, especially by cancer or however she died. I didnt know her but it hurts me that someone who was loyal to her job and loved by her colleagues had to die so young. I looked forward to seeing her character grow old and morph into blanche.

When a character on the show "dies" we may find it distressing, but we know it's not real. With Deirdre "away", having been written out to enable Anne to have some personal time, we were expecting her eventual return.

Eventually, though, the Street is big enough to cope with such choices. We don't grieve for Vera's character in the same way as we'll grieve for Deirdre's.
