Blanche was such a brilliant character. Her delivery and comic timing were outstanding. The casting of Maggie Jones & Anne Kirkbride as mother & daughter was genius. Ken : "You interfering old.....goat !" 🐐 😂

The casting was spot on. I think the same with the actresses, playing Gemma and Bernie is too

She was a brilliant actress, her timing was perfect.

She's Hilarious. Corries writing strong characters like Blanche these days has gone down the pan.

You’re welcome! There’s also a 1999 version in the Classics playlist that once again is worth it just for the final scene.

Another fantastic Blanche video. I don't care what they say about the golden age of Corrie, for me Blanche 1999-2009 was THE golden age of Corrie.

Lol. Of all the golden decades in Corrie’s history (that even a 16-year-old could tap-into and familiarise-themselves-with if they really wanted to), you’ve gone for a decade that featured some pretty-lacklustre years (2005, 2007, 2008, 2009)?

this is fantastic! Blanche was one of the best CS characters of all time!

Brilliant! When Blanche thought Ken was gay you could tell Anne Kirkbrides laughter was for real. Great writing.

I laughed and I cried. An iconic character and a fantastic actress. RIP.

The scenes between Blanche, Deirdre & Ken are my favourite thing about Coronation Street. So so soooo good and funny.

Blanche was a brilliant character.

The woman was a natural. Comic genius.

my favourite blanche quote was when she made peter a cup of tea and he said "cheers nan". She replied "even his gratitude is soaked in alcohol...." lol

Blanche is an absolute legend

One of the few characters I really like from this show

Blanche is the GOAT

If only todays Corrie was as light hearted as this - stopped watching recent Corrie years ago when the story lines got unrealistic

Miss Blanche and Deirdie so much ❤❤

I love Blanche coronation Street is not the same without her

What a fantastic Acterss blanch was

You're a LEGEND!!! Thank you so much!

Great writer's at that time...

Blanche was the mother in law Ken deserved, she always twisted the knife in after the initial blow. Loved watching her verbally annihilate him at every opportunity. 😂❤😂

I miss blanch so much 😢 😞

I have not seen Half There’s Blanche Sense Before

Blanche was so funny 😂😂😂😂

😂😂 Blanche was gold

I love the way Blanche Spoke to Elliott

7:17 "Are you just gonna sit there while he abuses your mother" "Yes" 🤣🤣

Love this 😂.. Fantastic.

4:00 it's Jacqueline Chadwick who also played Tina Dingle on Emmerdale 😅

Blanch is such a Funny actress

Blanche the much missed Maggie Jones should have had an open Mike night she was hilarious

How many scarves did Blanche have 😂😂😂

Never watch now..Blanch was a true character. The best.. Lancashire humour,,,,

Oh my goodness. Its me mother!!!!

Oh listen to him the mouse that roars 😂

Only the insane write letters to newspapers 🤣🤣 truth "Common as muck as that one, at least she's got some go about her"... Ken goes off. Blanche " I don't know why you're picking on me?" Every scene with her was golden. When Sarah was pregnant we all knew Blanche was going to open her mouth. "If they come in here drinking away it's no wonder they've no idea what they're kiddie gets up to". "I mean Audrey was what we used to call a Gym Slip Mam". ..oooh Blanche

If Tracy has gone they have a perfect opportunity to wait five years then get a really good actress back to play her and make her a mini blanch. No Mrs Hunt is one of the many many things the show is missing.

It should have been DAME Maggie Jones rather than DAME Maureen Lipman... bestowed for Consistent Services to Entertainment... Even in 2023, Maureen's mutterings don't fill the sheer lyrical lynchings that Maggie showcased so slickly... An almost impossible shadow to recreate...

Our Heritage... these were the good days. Wish I could sign Max's petition.

Thus began Ken's nine year long nightmare!

7:19 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 YES

Makes me sad...I used to love it....Then came to a point...

The acting was much better then as well 👍

The script writers seemed to forget that Blanche was a totally different character before her final return. She was certainly not a prude. She had several men friends. When she started to badmouth Gail, Audrey & Sarah she seemed to conveniently forget that her own daughter was the biggest slapper of them all. Blanche was a really nasty character with no heart or compassion and was totally self centred. She has been compared to Ena Sharples but whilst Ena could be vicious she was never plain evil.
