Corrie has gone into crap mode yet again. However I'm still enjoying the David storyline but itlooks like his little plan is about to back fire. Can't wait to see Ken teaching him

And yes I too like Betty and would love her to have a storyline, surely she'd be o.k with a "mini" one. Nana Moon in Eastenders managed it.

The Sean storyline is o.k but he does annoy me at times.

Is there anyone ion the street who Ken Barlow hasnt taught!!!!!?????

Well I guess one way or another he has taught someone something, espec the women on the street

I just love the banter between Ken and Blanche.

Hilda Braid is nowhere near as old as Betty Driver though, over 10 years younger I think. Betty has also suffered from arthritis for many years too, so she would struggle to do much these days.

adn she used to run the pub as well so i reckon that took some doing. The devvy arms i think it was. Shes got to be in her 70s Betty Driver at least.

i guess we'll be seeig her exit soon then ,shes done well for herslef! and she doesnt look 86!

I said she was 86 the other day. She's far older than the rest of the oldies. I think the next oldest of the others is Eileen Derbyshire (Emily) who is 76.

Betty Driver said earlier this year she has no plans to retire yet, but I don't think she'll go on much longer.

I hope she stays until 2009 at least, when she will clock up 40 years at Corrie.

Grechen Franklin (Ethel) was in EE at the age of 89 until she was killed off in that wonderful episode with Dot, so there's no reason why Betty Driver couldn't continue until at least 90, although I don't think she will.

wow! i new she was quite old but never would have thought she was 86!
