Betty Driver Memorial Soapstar Superstar Thread

[YoungWillz 19,100]

Posted in the Death Anniversary thread as well, but worth mentioning here that it's 5 years since Betty Driver died.

 

Hilda Ogden and Betty Turpin reunited after 5 years apart.

So now the producers of Corrie will stop constantly pleading for her to return

[The Happy Reaper 219]

Saw something hours ago on Twitter, but couldn't find any corroboration.

 

When acting was a profession, back in't day. Probably my favourite soap character ever.

 

Gawd rest her soul, and like them ducks on't Muriel, fly high Jean.

 

Not just yours. A few years back they ran a poll on the best soap character. Hilda Ogden got 25% of the vote, with the remainder being divided among dozens if not hundreds of other characters - she won by a landslide.

They'll no doubt do a shite on screen tribute that ruins the characters legacy

Euthanised by Doctor Lowther a la Shipman style.

I preseume that we never saw Dr Lowther when she went to keep house for him. Jean was 2 years younger than Hilda. If you follow that logic I always got the impression Dr L was an older gentleman. I imagine both Dr & Mrs Lowther are now dead and Hilda moved in to a nursing home or inflicted herself on her good for nothing son.

Beaten to it by YoungWillz, got another?

[Phantom 2,469]

 

 

I'm thinking of compiling a long-list of actors who've appeared in the big soaps, which shows should be included.

 

The Archers, Eastenders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Crossroads, Brookside, Hollyoaks, Home and Away and Neighbours are the obvious ones but what else?

Casualty, Holby City, El Dorado

 

 

That's not a soap it's an abomination.

 

 

It was on par with Albion Market

Albion Market is available on YouTube if you dare to try it again. Didn't seem awful to me, but neither did it seem great.
