Subject: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: Arthur_itus Date: 08 Nov 10 - 02:16 PM This is a thread for Coronation Street fans. If you are not, just don't post. What a shame, one of Coronation Street's best loved characters snuffs it tonight 8:30 pm on ITV UK. I am a big fan od CS and its sad to see well respected actors leave. What is your best memory of Jack Duckworth? Mine was pidgeons. Jack loved em but the actor Bill Tarmey hates them. |

Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: Arthur_itus Date: 08 Nov 10 - 04:21 PM Well that was a tear jerker. |
Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: Arthur_itus Date: 08 Nov 10 - 04:22 PM Who will replace him? |
Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: Georgiansilver Date: 08 Nov 10 - 04:32 PM Vera 'Hijacked' him...... |
Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: Arthur_itus Date: 08 Nov 10 - 04:43 PM She drew him into that light tunnel and he couldn't resist. How nice to depart like that. |
Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: GUEST,Jim Martin Date: 08 Nov 10 - 09:45 PM Ken Barlow & Rita are the only "originals" left now aren't they? |
Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: Arthur_itus Date: 09 Nov 10 - 04:31 AM Wasn't Betty hotpot at the start? Ken and Rita have done very well to survive the axe. They must be pretty good, |
Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: Steve Shaw Date: 09 Nov 10 - 05:18 AM Rita isn't an original. It's just Ken, and has been for years. I watched the very first episode when I was nine and shouted to my mum in the kitchen that there was this dead good programme on Channel 9. She told me to shut it. |
Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: Arthur_itus Date: 09 Nov 10 - 05:31 AM Well Steve, you get the Gold award for being the longest watcher. I wonder how many more can say they have seen Corrie from the start. |
Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: Steve Shaw Date: 09 Nov 10 - 05:55 AM I regret to inform you that I stopped watching it (along with every other soap) when Hilda Ogden and her muriels were still in it. However, I get to glimpse it every time I visit my mum, who is an avid watcher (in spite of her initial rebuff). I've actually become totally soap-averse. I have to leave the room whenever my wife puts on Holby City or Casualty (it annoys her muchly when I refer to them as Holby Titty and Casualtitty). If I'm to receive any gold award at all it should be for the fact that I have never watched so much as a single minute of EastEnders, ever. |

Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: Arthur_itus Date: 09 Nov 10 - 06:05 AM Oh dear Steve, you get the Rubber Titty Award instead. :-) |

Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: theleveller Date: 09 Nov 10 - 08:13 AM At least Jack escaped the train crash that promises to be the equivalent of the Emmerdale plane crash. |
Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: Arnie Date: 10 Nov 10 - 06:18 AM Jack was supposedly dying of cancer. He looked pretty good for a man with only days to live. In reality, just before the end, you would not be in a state to get out of bed, let alone stroll down to the Rovers for a pint. If terminal cancer sufferers could simply attend a party and then doze off in a chair then that would be a nicer way to go than the drugged-up reality in some hospital or hospice. The manner of his going would have made more sense if Jack had died of heart failure. That said, another great character has left the street. Get ready for another character purge before Christmas with the tram crash. |
Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: Arthur_itus Date: 10 Nov 10 - 06:50 AM I agree with you Arnie, but hey it's soapland and it's not a good idea to analyse it too much. I bet a few tears were shed from the scene and as such, they managed to get the right reaction :-) |
Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: GUEST,Patsy Date: 10 Nov 10 - 07:20 AM Unfortunately I missed it but I did see a trailer where Jack was releasing his pigeons. Too sad. I didn't realise that it was going to be cancer I agree it would have been better if it had been heart failure or a broken heart instead that would have made it all the more sadder. Emily Newgent/Bishop is an old timer I'm not sure if she was right at the very beginning but I remember her running a shop for Mr Swindley (Arthur Lowe) back then. |
Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: Steve Shaw Date: 10 Nov 10 - 11:35 AM She wasn't there right at the very beginning. Only Ken fits that bill. Didn't we have a train crash a few years ago? Surely not another. They have more disasters and murders in Corrie than you'd expect in the whole of New York City. And beautiful young women, come to think of it. Which I do. |

I wonder how many more can say they have seen Corrie from the start." Me! (Although I'm a lapsed heretic nowadays - gave up watching all soaps a few years ago). I can remember watching the first episode sitting on the settee with me mum and the dog. And Bill Podmore's mum and dad lived in our street when I was a kid. |
Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: Steve Shaw Date: 10 Nov 10 - 12:08 PM My mum was brought up in Silk Street in Salford, nobbut a cockstride away from where they make Corrie. |
Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: Tug the Cox Date: 10 Nov 10 - 01:46 PM Watched it from the start...but gave up years ago. Great in days of Ena Sharples, Elsie Tanner etc, peaked with the Ogdens and co...gradually ran out of steam. |
Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: Edthefolkie Date: 10 Nov 10 - 02:26 PM On a point of order M'lud, it's going to be a TRAM crash. Presumably the CGI Metrolink tram which goes over the viaduct will go even further over the viaduct and annihilate the Street, hopefully with a large and implausible explosion. They seem to like lethal streetcars on Corrie, Rita's nasty boyfriend was run over by a dirty great Blackpool double decker! |
Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: Arthur_itus Date: 10 Nov 10 - 02:35 PM So you win the Gold Medal Backwoodsman :-) |
Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: GUEST,Patsy Date: 11 Nov 10 - 09:01 AM What ever happened to Dennis Tanner? I had my first little girl crush on him. Always did like a naughty boy rather than the usual psycho on Corrie these days. What puzzles me now is why the lack of cute men on Corrie and I know they are there in Manchester somewhere. |
Subject: RE: BS: OMG Jack Duckworth snuffs it ITV 8:30pm From: Tug the Cox Date: 11 Nov 10 - 12:19 PM Dennis went of to be be famous with his Rock n Roll mate Brett Falcon. |
