Tributes flood in for Liz Dawn

(This post was originally posted by Flaming Nora on the Coronation Street Blog September 2017, reposted to this blog with permission.)


Tributes have flooded in for the actress Liz Dawn who passed away this week.  A lot of the Coronation Street cast, writers and directors, via Twitter, have shared memories and photographs of their time working with the actress who played Vera Duckworth for over 30 years.  The BBC have compiled some of the tributes from the cast here.

Samia Longchambon (Maria Connor) and Alan Halsall (Tyrone Dobbs) spoke to BBC 5 live's Adrian Chiles about their experience of working alongside the actress.  You can listen to their interview here.

Yesterday on the BBC national news at 6pm, William Roache (Ken Barlow) and Alan Halsall (Tyrone Dobbs) spoke about their time working with Liz Dawn.  And also in that news segment our blogger Michael Adams was interviewed outside of the Coronation Street studios in Salford to give a fan view of what Vera meant to us.
