I am deeply, deeply troubled by the death of Vera Duckworth, mostly because I think the scriptwriters over the last 4 years have based her on my own Nanna to be point where they now model near identical haircuts.
I agree, Junky: I hope she doesnt meet a grisly end. For once could the Gods at Corrie let one of their elder statesmen go in their sleep?
PS can we start referring to it as 'a retirement bungalow in the sky'?

I do love Vera so- I remember so vividly how sad I was for her the time her son sold her grandson (or something). It was so sad.

The black week has descended. Vera Duckworth is not going to a bungalow in Blackpool as she thinks but instead a soggy grave. For shame. According to Wikipedia she will either be murdered, commit suicide or be electrocuted via a dodgy massage chair. I'm not happy with any of these options. I really love the fact that I don't know how she's going to die. Has it not been leaked, or have I just been avoiding spoilers? I'm expecting it just to happen on the sofa though, as I don't think Wonderful Liz Dawn can do much standing. The dodgy massage chair electrocution is a great death idea, but not for such a good and well loved character. Save it for a Morton. |

I'd like to see Vera die by choking on one of Bettys Hotpots.

What terrible planning junky. Shame on you. I have just turned down the pub so that I can stay in and mourn the passing of one of the greatest television show's greatest characters. I fancy a nice big cry actually. I also hope that there'll be one final mention of her being related to the Queen.

The front page is amazing guys- well done.
Oh and the shoplifting episode has brought back so many memories- poor Vera.
PS Watching now and all I have seen is a rather foxy photo of V and Jack.

They're so sweet, a proper old couple. Jack's just getting her slippers, I'm awaiting the death at any moment.

I turned down dinner in a nice pub with hot Germans for this. It better be either bloody or really sickeningly mawkish. So far it's going for the latter.

The Corrie Gods are giving and taking in episode two tonight. We lose Vera but we get Wiki hosting an Ann Summers party for the factory girls.
Oh god Jack's just gone to the pub. Vera had better not die alone.

We could have had a sweepstake for cause of death. I'd have gone for a fall down the stairs.

I'm guessing a heart attack in her chair.

RUBBISH.
I do love Jack but they should have realised that a such an important scene should not have to be sold by his acting abilities.
Bye bye Vera,

I agree. I hope episode two picks up a bit, otherwise they've given her a rubbish send-off. |

Judy James would have a field day with his body language, all that self hugging.
And Schmindie wins the sweepstake. Get yourself a tight perm on our expense.

Sorry but that had me in tears- I thought it was really well done- death is usually very mundane. Then again I'm a sentimental old fool and i do love Vera.
Jack saying "Dont leave me alone" really set me off- how can Jack survive without Vera?

I couldn't work out if she had gone for blue lipstick during the day or if a bit of Revlon Bleu was the most they could be bothered doing to make it look like she was dead.

Aw, this is quite sweet now.
And if Jack keeps Vera for a few weeks in a Bombhead type storyline then all the better.

It's pretty much just giving me the creeps.
If I wandered home to a corpse, I'd probably be more likely to dial 999 than find a brush and run it through its wig.
'There you go Cinderella....'
The neighbours reaction was shit

The white pigeon!
It's a bit like Helen dying on Neighbours, but I guess Liz probably wanted her to go in an understated way. It'd be nice if she could've gone in the Rovers but I like how she went in her home.

I never saw the first episode, how did she die? Heart attack?
