Here after hearing the sad news that Johnny Briggs has sadly died. What a great actor he was. RIP Johnny.

That was touching when Ken said it's a friend, about someone who for so long has been his enemy

That is because deep down Ken Barlow and Mike Baldwin are old friends.

Johnny Briggs has died today.. I've just come here to watch this scene.. i love how they did it. He didnt remember anyone but ken.. and how ken said it's my friend .. such a great ending for a great character.. soaps cant say goodbye to characters like this anymore.. try to hard... nice and simple.. and its amazing... R.I.P Johnny briggs

This is so accurate and what Mike is saying, a close relative of mine spoke like that too. 01:50 two weeks before she died. It's a very sad condition, and also very frightening for the person who has it.

Didn't watch this at the time. My Nan was also in hospital with terminal cancer. I remember family telling her about this but trying not to listen. So sad to see him end up like that

NO YA DON'T!

Mike, a true Corrie legend.

Because people with dementia remember things from long ago rather than most recent. That’s why he said to Ken about the affair

I think that it was a good idea to have Ken, Emily, and Rita in this scene. I think that it was nice to use the older characters when they're in the process of saying goodbye to one of the original characters. But I'm glad that they did an Alzheimer's storyline. It really spreads awareness. My Grandma had it and it wasn't nice to sit and watch her deteriorate for the last few years of her life.

Kevin Longman Kevin Longman I didn't mean to put an 's' on the end there. I know that Ken is the only original character, and Rita and Emily are the older characters who appeared a lot earlier in Corrie. I think it's nice to have them as the other witnesses to Mike's death (I probably just made no sense whatsoever!)! I think Emily is the longest serving female character, and Rita appeared once in 1964 and then her character started again in 1972 up to now.

Love Eileen Derbyshire who playes Emily, she's incredible really is, its like what her son says about her she's not really a recluse (love her for it actually) she's just not interested in anything other than just acting.or rather that she's of a dying breed of actors who do it purely for the love of acting as she rarely did anything other than just acted, rarely did publicity things like award shows and the rest the only time she's done something like it was for one storyline she was in, though can't exactly remember what it was. She's a great lady!

mike baldwin... wot an actor!

R.I.P. Johnny Briggs and his character he played

@Lighteningpictures yeahh they were there on mikes first day, even rita was there a few years before him. So they all saw 30 years of mike baldwin, moments like that are quite special and takes the show back with its history

I always wanted Mike and Deirdre to get together :( It's sad to see such a great character go like this. You'll be missed Mike Baldwin!

THE END OF A TRUE LEGAND

It was a touching moment between Ken and Mike. Their feud had ended. Ken calling Mike "a friend" was appropriate.

Funny may have not have been the correct word; Ironic may be appropiate. That the one person he can remember is someone who he has feuded against for a very very long time and in his last moments they are both together on their own. Good script writing.

Thanks for doing this, it was great seeing this storyline again. If you've any of the footage leading up to Frankie and Jamie getting together, I'd love to see that too. Thanks.

who remebers when mike,duggie and either kevin or fred was trying to buy pub of Natalie and has anyone ever noticed all the corrie actors end up in waterloo road

Was sad seeing Mike like this

Best story they ever done

So so sad that such a strong character ended life in the street in such a way. Somehow, it seems quite appropriate for Mike to die in Ken's arms and Ken sounding quite distressed about it. An end to the adversity.

CollabInLove Danny lost a lot of business and practically ended up bankrupt so he put the factory up for sale and the Connor brother’s Paul and Liam brought it. When Paul (who was married to Carla) died in a car accident after kidnapping Leanna the factory became her’s and the Connor’s have had it ever since.
