Ray Langton's Death Part 3

[@johnrider3749]

So many of the cast are no longer with us and the show is a shadow of its former self,

[@tay2229]

Ray Langton's death is quite similar to that of Martha Longhurst. Those of you who know your Corrie history will know what I mean.

[@rickrowlands001]

Her death was the first in corrie….died in the snug

[@anothercomment]

​@rickrowlands001 No, May Hardman was the first Corrie death and then Ken's mother Ida died in 1961.

[@ZowieBBowie]

Yeah, I wonder if Ray will haunt the Rovers Return just like Martha did…

[@filmsforallnations]

So many great Coronation Street actors sorely missed now! 😢

[@vashna3799]

Ray was one of the few genuine working class bloke characters that working class men in northern England could relate too unlike the many caricatures in coronation street that have stereotyped us. A tragic loss, and the one character who could trade insults with Blanche and come out on top.

[@DEC19775]

Storm Hawk it’s a putty Tracy wasn’t the she thought number 1 the cry is fake

[@paulfrost8895]

I have many fond memories of him in Corrie as a kid ' he was a good husband to Deirdre ' just like Ken subsquently came to be ' and very protective ' espc the time when she was attacked under the viaduct ' he went out looking for the bloke to sort him out ' I 'm just glad his family came to forgive and accept him back eventually before he sadly passed in his old local.

[@paulfrost8895]

But even Blanch made her peace with him at the very end ' well in a lukewarm sort of way.

Rest in peace Anne kirkbride 1953-2015 Rest in peace maggie jones 1934-2009

[@PacyMitchEditz]

And Neville Buswell 1943-2019

[@jaycrawshaw-walton7955]

RIP Neville Buswell

[@ysgol3]

I just noticed, the death scene is very similar to Martha Longhurst's in 1964.

[@filmsforallnations]

This scene was a reminiscence of Martha Longhurst’s death in The Rover’s Return.

[@wts456n]

So, having seen both deaths, I've noticed the following. Some people spoke to them in the public. They both sat down when feeling tired. Singing in the public whilst they slip away with a pained look on their faces alone. Jack Walker came in and spoke to martha and chrcked her for sleeping, Blanche taking to Ray then touching his hand. The singing stops as the others realise something is wrong. Yes, definitely similarities indeed

[@ysgol3]

@@wts456n Superb! Thank you.

[@alexanderjones9572]

Notice during Ray and Tracy’s talk ‘Fly me to the moon’ is playing-the song that was on when Jack died! 😢😢

[@annoldham3018]

I remember doing a late shift at hospital when Ray came back. I was a student nurse. I'd made a shedload of toast for the patients. One of the said "it's Ray Langton "! And the toast went flying!🤣

[@andrewjamesfoley3825]

I love the way Liz says are you jealous?

[@steffanhoffmann8937]

Lovely acting by Tracy at Rays demise

[@TheBryan61383]

I have this episode on tape it was so sad at the end when ray died

[@gavinreid8937]

And now Ray IS gone. Neville Buswell thought Corrie would lead to Hollywood!, he ended up a croupier & newsagent. Fame can be fleeting.

[@PaulDoe79]

He wasn't alone. Pat Phoenix, Julie Goodyear and others left for bigger opportunities only to come back

[@MsFanmail]

vera and jack were a g8 comedy act

[@karenwhatley]

SORRY FOR UR LOSS TRACY I LOVE YOU

[@wandacatvenus]

RIP Ray Langton

[@alexanderjones9572]

Ken’s grasp of the obvious gets better. “Tracy, a man died yesterday...”

[@wossamaggiga]

If their husbands were alive they'd be dancin'! - Oh I really really do miss Jack and Vera, my favourite couple on the street :)

[@paulfrost8895]

I miss many of the old characters many of who are no longer with us ' Elsie Tanner ' Albert Tatlock ' The Ogdens ' Eddie Yeats ' to name but many.

Oh no rays passed out in-front of Blanche Deirdre’s mum

"Oh really hope you poke me "!

[@christopherhannaford6348]

Hes the only dead person i have ever seen that is still breathing. Even at the end you can see his chest and stomach move from breathing.

[@alexlazebat839]

yes i know so obvious until other dead bodies you can just see

[@paulfrost8895]

I noticed that too ' must be hard to hold your breath through all those takes.

[@lisamariegreenaway8693]

Was it a heart attack?? I remember watching this but can't remember what happened

[@thomasjones6216]

It was cancer, he came back to make his peace with Tracy

[@alexanderjones9572]

Fred talking about that ‘ole in Audrey’s back garden-prophecy??

She’s Crying because people are there in private she would not cry and carry on as normal

[@kay-marie1076]

What did Ray Die from?

[@SirGregg]

Better than going in a car accident.

[@christinefougere1444]

Ray adored Deirdre and Tracy. It wasn't until Deirdre was sexually assaulted one night and couldn't get past it (as most women can't) she wouldn't let Ray touch her, Ray looked elsewhere and had an affair with a waitress.

[@alexanderjones9572]

Mr Spoon I read that it stopped her wanting sex ( understandably) and so Ray cheated on her because of that.

[@paulfrost8895]

I forgotten about the affair with the waitress ' I recall her being attacked under the nearby viaduct ' Ray went looking for the thug ' would have given him a good sorting if he'd caught him ' some reckon it was Billy Walker who was there at the time ' but who knows.

[@cherylreid-panasiewicz6485]

​@paulfrost8895 No way. Billy Walker adored Deirdre. He was very gentle with her.

to be fair, that could just have been explained as air leaving his body... seeing as he'd only just died... that does happen for real!

Well yes that’s because he’s not really dead
