That's sad. She's been around for as long as I can remember. RIP Anne.

Every middle class woman in Ireland watches Cornation Street and Emerdale, I grew up listing to this stuff in the background, mother and sister watched it when I was young, wife and daughter now watches it.
They don't watch Eastenders, wife says it too rough for the young one, too much fighting in it!
Cori & Emerdale comes in early in the evening via BBC, or maybe UTV, then it is replayed later by RTE who buy it and re-broadcast under licence. They can't get enough of it, they sometimes watch the first showing then watch the replay on the same night ! Have to say I never watched a full episode of it in my life, only suffered what I had to while I tried to think about anything else. I could never get with or understand any soap operas !
That said she was a good actor, I had a school teacher who looked like her twin and was excellent, probably tried to copy her image, the glasses and all, RIP to both of them. Funny when I was young she looked like an aul one on TV, in recent years I remember thinking that she looked younger than me |

Sad to hear that, she was one of those characters who creep into normal life. I'm sure we have all called someone Deidre Barlow if they had massive glasses on. Reports said she died after a short illness.

I have not watched the street for years - honestly. I did tune in when the tram came of the bridge and demolished Alf's old corner shop....but before that I stopped watching around year 2000.
RIP Anne Kirkbride.
P.S - Kim Marsh - she of Hear'Say fame?

To be fair Tel, I think she was a very heavy smoker (or was). I think I read some years ago about her on a lot of the ciggies - which may or may not be true.
Very talented lady though - never heard a nasty word said about her.
