Title: No more Vera Duckworth.
Post by: loulou on July 22, 2007, 06:53:20 pm

68-year-old Liz Dawn who suffers from the chronic lung disease emphysema, has told Granada bosses she's too ill to carry on in her 200,000-a-year role.

I will be sad if she is written out. Please don't let her be killed off. Maybe she will just have to go to bed with an illness and we will always believe she is upstairs and Jack is caring for her.

She and Jack are a national institution.

I am surprised in a way that she's not being killed off; it would be very sad, but they couldn't split Jack and Vera up, so if Bill Tarmey wants to stay it seems the best option. I'm surprised he's staying as he is in poor health himself, and was talked out of leaving a couple of years back.

Perhaps Vera could get ill and go to Blackpool to stay with the Hortons for an extended period of convalescence - sea air and all that. I know it sounds a bit Victorian, but it would make more sense than the marriage ending. That way Liz Dawn could do a few episodes at Christmas or something.

She will be so much missed. They are a great couple - I just love them to bits.
