Jeff Hordley has had Crohn's disease that already killed his mum:

Certainly not in any immediate danger but 64 year old scouse actor Dean Sullivan who played Jimmy Corkhill in Brookside has revealed he has recently been treated for prostate  cancer. Successful but one maybe to keep an eye on.

Wish you'd stop doing this.  Every time it gives the impression that the person has died, especially as it takes time to scroll down to the actual news.

There was a twist in the tale a few days ago with a Gooseberry post when he posted like this only to reveal Edd Byrnes was actually dead, not having a birthday. :o:D

As a Corrie fan, he was a fine actor during the late 60s until he left in 1978. The reintroduction of Ray in 2005 was a time when bringing a character back just worked and his scenes with Anne Kirkbride and Bill Roache were excellent.

Just checked the StarTiger autograph community.

People were receiving signed photos from her as recently as mid-2017.

I would be surprised if she died off radar.
