One of the legends lost , but not forgotten. He played the character remarkably well. Stemming back in the 70’s till his departure he was a solid performer.

i love how ken describes mike on the phone as a friend of his despite all the shit that has flown between them over the years. mike and ken were friends.

What a moving scene with legendary Johnny Briggs and William Roache. Mike & Ken always hated each other. This was so great with them together. R I P Johnny, what an outstanding actor

Probably most iconic, moving, fitting scenes in all British soap history. I guess being born early enough to remember helps

Back in the day when Coronation Street was worth watching! Pity about the music spoiling the scene

It enhanced it for me (yes,I know it’s EastEnders- but it’s usually used for deaths of popular characters. I’ve also seen it used for Ashley Thomas and Val Pollard in Emmerdale).

Brilliant scene, goodbye to a Corrie legend

Johnny briggs aka mike baldwin was one of the best english actors ever for me. Certainly one of the best actors ever on corrie. RIP johnny.

MICHAEL BALDWIN/JOHNNY BRIGGS and KEN BARLOW/WILLIAM ROACHE’S finest moment

Rip Johnny Briggs 2021 ❤️

I went to Florida in 1998 when I was 6 to do Disneyland. Was an avid corrie watcher at the time. I saw Mike Baldwin in a restaurant and was so excited I thought I would burst. It was all I talked about for months afterwards.

Rest in peace to a legend

This was sad! I remember it so well

Extraordinary scene. But most profoundly of all. Is what it reminds us about.. No matter whats happened. Were all human family. And should allways respond to those suffering or dying, with help. Dignified. With respect and wisdom. Or with true love. 😊

The Opening Sequence looks so much like a Promo for a U S Soap. He was quite a legend.

Tragic. RIP Johnny

Those last lines ‘you’re finished, Barlow! Deirdre loves me - I’ are deep tho

Fantastic acting by Johnny Briggs 👍

That's when Coronation Street died for me, anyway! All went downhill after that!

Not to miss the point, but it’s odd how Ken says “Let’s get you inside” and starts leading Mike to Underworld instead of no 1. Anyone else notice the direction they’re headed?

A very moving scene-a shame that Ken and Mike never really buried the hatchet,and became friends though.

Still gets to me..... 😢

The Eastenders themed ruined it
