RIP Betty Driver

[dawesome]

I thought she was lovely, doses of sound northern common sense and lovely lamb hotpots, so much nicer than that grubby Kevin Webster
who always spent far too much time tinkering about with 13 year old Escorts.

Because of course they read this forum...

Not particularly selecting this post but why do people start RIP threads on people they aren't related to, didn't know and who didn't know them?

Weird.

You are correct when you state that I never knew the deceased, and neither was I ever likely to either however, what’s wrong with showing empathy?

I’m relatively new to this forum however I no longer enjoy participating. Therefore I want admin or the moderators to delete my account.

I TOO AM SADDENED. THEY COULD HAVE LET HER STAY AND HAVE A LESBIAN AFFAIR OR SOMETHING. MODS PLEASE DELETE ALL MY POSTS AND WIPE MY MEMORY LIKE THAT FLASHING THING IN THAT FILM ABOUT THOSE MEN WHO WEAR BLACK AND CHASE ALIENS. I THINK IT'S CALLED THE MEN WHO CHASE ALIENS AND WEAR BLACK. RIP BETTY, PRINCESS OF R HARTS.

To me, a simple RIP isn't that bad. What I was talking about was the whole American schmaltzy, mawkish, vomitly vomitous treatment, where everything all has to be some big Memorial the size of Denmark, and believe me, you WOULDN'T want THAT!!

It can vary, yes, and there is a reason why I regularly only post in one thread on here these days, but, if you feel you must go, then..... I'm sorry to hear that.... RIP I guess

I wonder how they will write her out of the show ?

Come on some of you creative writers out there.

Lets have your starters for ten.

A tribute. Extreme close up of a sweaty veggie hotpot. That sounds wrong.

What can they do? she'll have had a heart attack or died of old age or sommat and that'll be that.

For the record, up until this thread, I had only ever heard the name Betty Driver, but never really knew who she was, seeing as I am NOT a Corrie fan and all that.

I still don't quite know I would have known who the hell she was if I'd ever met her.

Pur-lees!!

What a drama queen way to flounce!

I am sure a simple PM to Admin or the mods would have sufficed rather than such a petulant post. Even taking the simple step of not logging on again yourself would have done the job admirably. You are not obliged to read or post if you are a member.

They'll dismember her and turn her into a giant hotpot, then when the locals pop into the Rovers they'll be asked, "Would you like some of Betty's hotpot"?

I just think it's sad because she's always been there, part of the furniture. Less personal grief, more the feeling of sadness when they stopped making pickled onion monster munch (I had a party when they brought it back)

Darth,

The scriptwriters could just advertise for a much cheaper unknown actress and say Betty had had a face transplant [with weeks of low-cost filming at her hospital bedside set; showing a stand-in covered in swathes of bandage, until they thrash out the contracts, following her accident with boiling hotpot in the Rovers kitchen; with a dramatic sequence showing Kevin doing a mercy dash through the streets of Weatherfield [filmed in Doncaster to save even more dosh] and him being stopped for speeding and breathalysed in a 'Stop Drinking and Driving' campaign in the run up to Christmas with the finale of the new Betty being presented in the live Christmas episode...

Do I win the Werther's Original?
