Has Barbara Knox who plays Rita in Corrie had a Facelift? She's looking like she's walked through a wind tunnel.

I thought that too, she's starting to look a bit scary imho. Wasn't that long ago she took a break and came back all wide eyed.

satc2bringiton · 19/03/2010 14:35

Yes I noticed a difference too. Thought she just looked thinner.

Also - are they ever going to write Blanch out?

ProfYaffle · 19/03/2010 20:40

She seems to have had a personality transplant too - when did she turn into a complete cow?

strig · 19/03/2010 20:45

Just seen her and thought the exact same thing and then saw this post!

Monadami · 20/03/2010 01:46

I definitely think she's had surgery, she shouldn't have bothered at her age, just looks a bit odd now.

Yeah what is with the change in personality - all very odd!

leavingonajetplane · 20/03/2010 20:12

Its very sad Blanche is gone SATC. She was the funniest thing on corrie for years.

Took them ages to write Jack out of Emmerdale too, think they left it until they could do a storyline around the characters death and so have a memorial for him.

Quite well done for Emmerdale, as most of the cast were upset intead of acting.

winstonstimpson · 20/03/2010 20:47

they are going to write her out (think she dies on hols) and will have a full on corrie funeral for her. I think it might happen in May

Scotia · 20/03/2010 20:50

I knew what this thread was going to be about before I opened it I said the same thing to my dh last night - she's gone beyond the point of no return now with the surgery.

leavingonajetplane · 20/03/2010 22:00

Thanks winston. Seems the best way to do it so the cast sort of get to pay tributes to her through the character she acted. Such a shame she wont be around to deal with Tracey coming back.

satc2bringiton · 21/03/2010 14:37

Thanks for the Blanche update and I think that sounds like a great tribute to her memory.

I will be crying buckets when that goes out

purepurple · 21/03/2010 14:40

said the same thing to DH about Rita, just after I asked if she had turned into Danny La Rue

cornsilk · 21/03/2010 14:42

Is she not dead yet then?

satc2bringiton · 21/03/2010 18:13

Well yes (in RL) but not in Corrie as yet.

kittya · 21/03/2010 18:32

what do you think the corrie musical will be like? I just want her back in the shop I cant stand Norris's friend.

nappyzoneloveslindor · 21/03/2010 18:36

I thought she was wearign a wig - i actually wondered if she had been away in ill health .

ProfYaffle · 21/03/2010 18:44

She's also eye wateringly orange. Surely spray tan places should turn people away when they've had one too many, like publicans.

How does Tracey come back into it? Is she out or does she meet Gayle in clink?

kittya · 21/03/2010 18:46

that would be interesting but that story is going to happen with Tony isnt it?

ProfYaffle · 21/03/2010 18:55

He gets turned away from a spray tan place?

kittya · 21/03/2010 19:49

Tony meeting someone in jail and them going onto the street

leavingonajetplane · 21/03/2010 20:27

ProfYaffle.

Isnt tracey meant to get early release in return for information on Gail, after sharing a cell with her or something? I could easily have dreamt though.

loulabelle77 · 03/04/2010 17:35

The character 'Blanche' is currently abroad taking care of her friend who is ill. While Blanche is there, she passes away. The funeral will be shown on tv in May.
Tracey attends the funeral but I think she's only released for the day.

As for Rita, I don't think she's had a facelift but she's definitely had some work done.
When I first saw her I thought she looked weird around the eyes, tighter. It doesn't look right, she looks odd. (but thats just my opinion)

kittya · 03/04/2010 22:39

Her face has grown on me now and I think she looks okay. Im liking the storyline between her and Audrey!

sammysamsam · 04/04/2010 00:05

definately had sommat done.. i still can't figure it out.. botox probably..
