(This post was originally posted by me on the Coronation Street Blog in March 2012.)While I haven’t been enjoying the murder of Frank Foster storyline as much as I’d hoped, I have been enjoying the extra screen time that has been given to his poor mother, Anne Foster.
While I often get the impression that as a character she has only been introduced to facilitate the current storyline (in the same way that poor Amber was used and discarded now Sian has left) I can’t help but enjoy watching her.
She’s very over the top dramatically and I think she’s one step away from going completely bonkers over Frank's death but after seeing her interact more with characters such as Norris, Mary and Stella I think she’d work really well as a long-term character.
In fact I’d love to see her taking over Underworld and turning the place into an almost military style operation or becoming arch nemesis with Norris and/or Sylvia over a tiny misunderstanding that ends up getting blown way out of proportion!
So whether or not the current whodunnit will see the end of Anne or not, I for one have enjoyed her time on Coronation Street and hope that some of you have embraced her as well.

She is an excellent actress! No question about it.
I am very happy that Corrie has attracted such mature, high-calibre talents as Gwen Taylor and Stephanie Cole, and I would love to see both of them become long-term characters.
I totally agree with both posters. I just loved Gwen Taylor in Heartbeat, and Stephanie Cole in many things, so to have these wonderful mature actresses in Corrie is a total bonus.
All this time she has reminded me of someone, but I couldn't quite place it. Then the other night it came to me ...Eilzabeth Edwards, the late wife of disgraced presidential candidate John Edwards. Anyone else see it?
