81 year old Coronation Street actor Malcolm Hebden reveals he won't be returning to the show to play Norris Cole as his body is not willing even though the mind is.

 

One to watch me thinks.

Malcolm Hebden's character Norris Cole will be killed off offscreen reportedly: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9864935/Coronation-Streets-Norris-Cole-killed-away-screen-cast-film-new-funeral-scenes.html

Just to be clear though,  Malcolm Hebden is not dead, and neither is his character yet?

Awe I'm kind of saddened to hear that. I knew he wasn't returning but I liked the idea like with other characters such as Mavis Wilton and Bet Lynch of Norris being out there somewhere doing his thing...!

Aye, they're missing a trick here - I'm seeing a one-off Christmas spin-off where all these "retired" characters are living in a care home and at Christmas they do Vee Agg Ara and LSD before the turkey!

 

You could film it in one day on one set - not too big an ask, even for June Brown.

There's also a rumor about Audreys' possible death. Anyone seen? :o

Bodybuilder, coach, and YouTube personality, John Meadows, dead at 49. He’d had some health problems over the years.

Probably no need, but I wouldn’t anticipate a QO.

I think this one is true. Another tweet here from yesterday, from one of her friend’s:

 

 

Photo must be “fairly” recent. She looks frail in comparison to the 2019 interview with her which is everywhere online.

 

Media just being slow. She’s definitely a name on a New York Times obit level.

I've heard about him a lot and about his company Nikoli.

 

The modern Sudoku was invented by Howard Garns (1905-1989), American 74-year old freelance puzzle constructor at the time who got his Number Place puzzle in the Dell Pencil Puzzles and Word Games magazine in 1979.

The puzzle called "Number Place" was picked in 1984 by Maki Kaji (1951-2021), Nikoli's founder and President. He made the name "Sudoku" and trademarked it.

 

In 1997 Wayne Gould (1945-) a Hong Kong judge saw a partly completed Sudoku in a Japanese puzzle shop, made a program that creates sudokus, promoted it to The Times in 2004 and after this the popularity spread like wildfire.

Gould's the last one of these three and I am pretty sure he will get obituaries everywhere.

2021 looks like being a bad year for Deathlist with no deaths from the list since April despite COVID.

Fingers crossed for a rush before the year end.

Finally some confirmation. The Lunar and Planetary Institute have put an obit up for Shoemaker.

Sandra Richardson, Liverpool poet and activist, died yesterday according to her wife's instagram (Clare Beloved).

Picked in Deadpools here and there, mostly by me, but also by DDT.
