When did she die? How sad! She was so funny. She'll be awfully missed.

How will she be written out? Will Deidre go to find her dead in bed one morning or will she run off with someone from that one o'clock club she goes to?

How cross will she be to miss her own funeral?

Don't you think Blanche looked like an exact older version of Deirdre?

This is really sad news :(

In tribute, some of my favourite Blanche quotes:

'Good looks can be a curse Deirdre. You and Ken ought to count yourselves lucky!'
'Shelley Unwin's as weak as this tea. Put another bag in!'
'Ken recently had an affair with an actress. Oh, it wasn't Nicole Kidman or Glenda Jackson. She lived on a tugboat!'

On Deirdre turning down Ken's proposal again: 'Ken'll only go down on one knee so many times Deirdre - and if you leave it much longer at his age, next time he might not be able to get back up again!'

When Liz is staying and has used all the milk: 'It's like having a giant blue tit in residence!'
When Liz leaves her washing lying around: 'Do you think Ken wants to look at thongs all day? He's an intellectual!'

To Rita: 'I'd have thought you'd have more grit about you; you've survived at least one world war!'

And finally, a classic Blanche moment - just six seconds long, but still hilarious:

Thanks so much Smurfy. That was such a fitting tribute. She will be so much missed.
