Blanche was such a brilliant character. Her delivery and comic timing were outstanding. The casting of Maggie Jones & Anne Kirkbride as mother & daughter was genius. Ken : "You interfering old.....goat !" 🐐 😂

[@antpoo71]

The casting was spot on. I think the same with the actresses, playing Gemma and Bernie is too

[@SteMcgarry-xy5gb]

She was a brilliant actress, her timing was perfect.

[@crevrath7374]

She's Hilarious. Corries writing strong characters like Blanche these days has gone down the pan.

[@debbiehamilton2340]

How I miss Blanche! Thanks for putting that together. What a fun trip down Corrie’s memory lane!

[@TheTalkoftheStreetPodcast]

You’re welcome! There’s also a 1999 version in the Classics playlist that once again is worth it just for the final scene.

[@debbiehamilton2340]

Thank you. I’ll be sure to check it out.

17:43 “now you try explaining thou shalt not steal to some kid who’s off his head on glue” 😂😂😂😂

Ken's face was a picture at that!

[@evanslater4551]

And then Rita’s face 😂😂

[@CharlieFlemingOriginal]

The only thing they understand... Is extreme violence 😂

[@kaysmith8992]

Another fantastic Blanche video. I don't care what they say about the golden age of Corrie, for me Blanche 1999-2009 was THE golden age of Corrie.

[@Anonymous_Anon882]

Lol. Of all the golden decades in Corrie’s history (that even a 16-year-old could tap-into and familiarise-themselves-with if they really wanted to), you’ve gone for a decade that featured some pretty-lacklustre years (2005, 2007, 2008, 2009)?

[@kaysmith8992]

@@Anonymous_Anon882 were they lacklustre years for Blanche though?

[@Anonymous_Anon882]

@@kaysmith8992 no but Blanche was better when she was younger. In her later years she did kind-of morph more into a caricature on acid and at one point she was more annoying than the likes of Norris and Kirk.

Brilliant! When Blanche thought Ken was gay you could tell Anne Kirkbrides laughter was for real. Great writing.

[@CharlieFlemingOriginal]

Miss Blanche so much. EDIT 17:49 Oh my SIDES! "extreme violence" 😄

[@masterknife8423]

One of the few characters I really like from this show

[@blanketyblank5022]

The woman was a natural. Comic genius.

[@Bessie66]

If only todays Corrie was as light hearted as this - stopped watching recent Corrie years ago when the story lines got unrealistic

[@masterknife8423]

I'd argue that it's always been unrealistic

[@allthingsjana7870]

It's terrible now.

[@abbieroseholden4174]

Miss Blanche and Deirdie so much ❤❤

[@shanegordon7111]

I laughed and I cried. An iconic character and a fantastic actress. RIP.

[@ianp7661]

The scenes between Blanche, Deirdre & Ken are my favourite thing about Coronation Street. So so soooo good and funny.

[@Longi1974]

Coronation Street struck gold with the character of Blanche, and the double-act with her long-suffering daughter Dierdre, often the butt of her withering remarks, was genius.

[@collistooth8314]

It should have been DAME Maggie Jones rather than DAME Maureen Lipman... bestowed for Consistent Services to Entertainment... Even in 2023, Maureen's mutterings don't fill the sheer lyrical lynchings that Maggie showcased so slickly... An almost impossible shadow to recreate...

[@stevebb2915]

my favourite blanche quote was when she made peter a cup of tea and he said "cheers nan". She replied "even his gratitude is soaked in alcohol...." lol

[@Rosie19701]

I used to have a mug with my favourite Blanche quote on it. "Good looks are a curse Deidre. You and Kenneth should count yourselves lucky." I was gutted when I broke it, I have been trying to find a replacement ever since.

[@draiocht0180]

10:35 Blanche talking about Bethany not having a dad only for Adam to be her stepdad 21 years later

[@connorwatson7823]

7:17 "Are you just gonna sit there while he abuses your mother" "Yes" 🤣🤣

[@ezioauditore6038]

And you look at Coronation street today with all the bland, boring and uncharismatic characters.....same with Home and Away and all other soaps....the golden age is well and truly over for soaps

[@jrspiritcommunicator7611]

The acting was much better then as well 👍

[@qatiemunro]

Blanche is the GOAT

[@julz3tt3]

Only the insane write letters to newspapers 🤣🤣 truth "Common as muck as that one, at least she's got some go about her"... Ken goes off. Blanche " I don't know why you're picking on me?" Every scene with her was golden. When Sarah was pregnant we all knew Blanche was going to open her mouth. "If they come in here drinking away it's no wonder they've no idea what they're kiddie gets up to". "I mean Audrey was what we used to call a Gym Slip Mam". ..oooh Blanche

If Tracy has gone they have a perfect opportunity to wait five years then get a really good actress back to play her and make her a mini blanch. No Mrs Hunt is one of the many many things the show is missing.

[@fannycraddock99]

The script writers seemed to forget that Blanche was a totally different character before her final return. She was certainly not a prude. She had several men friends. When she started to badmouth Gail, Audrey & Sarah she seemed to conveniently forget that her own daughter was the biggest slapper of them all. Blanche was a really nasty character with no heart or compassion and was totally self centred. She has been compared to Ena Sharples but whilst Ena could be vicious she was never plain evil.

[@007beck9]

She different when she is in the 70s coronation street she nothing like this

Are you jus gonna sit there while he abuses your own mother? Yes.
