So sad

Heard about this a while ago, didn't post as I didn't want to upset people, glad someone did.

A truly British TV icon.
A while ago? It's breaking news!

Were you at the hospital?
I thought it was an odd comment to make. I think he is after some kind of badge of recognition.
Drop it out eh? I stopped posting these threads as people just started having a go at me at making them. I was just happy there was a thread about it, thats all. She has played an iconic character on British TV for donkeys years and although, of course, having a thread here doesn't mean anything, considering what she has achieved on British TV, I thought it was deserved.

Anyway, enough with the obsessing over me please.

What did she achieve exactly, she was stuck in a shitty soap for over 40 years and never moved on because no else would have her, soaps are the second lowest form of entertainment with shitty acting after reality shows.

R.I.P Deidre Barlow, or is that Anne Kirkbride.

Her achievements will certainly pale into insignificance compared with yours, user Phil-McCrack

+1 here. This thread has steered off topic here and there for sure - but slagging her off (and the life she led) in this thread is just plain wrong.

By post count, it would seem like deidre is the most popular dead celebrity among EG forumites ever.

Deleted user 21 January 2015 08:58:33

Hmm, I believe Savile wins that award

He was a Titan of the music biz, and now he's Checking (it) Out for good...

Sorry, Lil but a whole thread of your own seems extravagant.

Not a single newspaper went with the Lil Chris Ch Ch Checks Out headline

That's sad. I wonder what it was.

Call me crazy, but I'm gonna guess drugs.

I read the article on the bbc and it mentioned the street he died on. I google mapped it and if that's where he lived after getting moderate (probably pushing it) fame I'd probably be on drugs too.

Bullshit aside I remember the programe and he always seemed like a nice cheery lad though. A shame.

Good things come to those who wait.

But, I'd prefer it to be Robbie Williams first tbh.

Heh. I'm sat here humming it and someone asks 'did you know he died?'

No, I got a spectacularly accurate psychic premonition

Deleted user 24 March 2015 16:24:18

You should've feigned surprise and say "Erm, I *think* Big Nick would've been told if his brother Lil Chris had died"

I had to look for the most...er....least appropriate place to put it before LetsGhoul (Copyright PES) did his own one.
