What age is Jean, I hope she pulls through
She is 88 years old
I remember in the early '70s I was working on a house refurbishment in Halsall belonging to David Moores (Littlewoods) and Jean came round on a pushbike to have a nose around. Real down to earth woman.
Jean Alexander's brother has spoken out about the Coronation Street star's health scare.
The Mirror reported on Thursday that the 88-year-old actress, who famously played Hilda Ogden, had been rushed to hospital after an emergency call to her Merseyside home.
Kenneth Hodgkinson has now thanked fans for their support since the reports emerged, and revealed Alexander is out of hospital and recuperating in rehabilitation.
"She is very grateful for all the interest shown by the public in her. It is very kind of people to still be interested in her," he Hodgkinson told The Mirror.
"She was taken in hospital on Monday. She did not feel too well in the morning. She was a little bit shaky so she was taken in and they tried to assess her to see what was the matter.
"We don't think it is serious, she is getting on very well," he said.
He added that Alexander still has "a bit of difficulty with walking", but is managing to walk with a frame.
"I've heard from the people there, in the home, that she is quite cheerful and she feels alright," he said.
"She seems reasonably chirpy and not in danger. From what I hear she is pottering about and so on. It seems to have passed over." :cheer:
Oh no, Les Dennis is back.
I like to give him a chance and if he makes Gail happy and puts a smile on her face ... who am I to argue :D
I agree, but I can't see Gail being lucky in love for long... :DQuote:

I cant believe Maria is back already, she must have known Fiz would be frosty with her still after all she did
Marcus is so blind in love for Todd
love eva behind the bar at the rovers. her laugh is brilliant. :)
I really enjoyed the inconsequential scenes of David and Kylie chatting about nothing much. I could have throttled them in the garden centre though! :angry:
I had to laugh when Gail told Sally she can spot a bad 'un after all her negative experiences with men. I don't think she'll ever learn.
I hate Kylie at the moment.. I thought they were getting on with Gail again-what has turned their behaviour all upside down again??Quote:

Marcus should have given him a good kicking weeks ago.
He missed a good opportunity in the ginnel where he could have butted him, splitting his nose and then gave him a good kicking.
I feel you may already have writen an extensive screen play for this scene??! ;-)Quote:

How did gail know his shirt size!
Do corrie not check employment law. You cannot just demote someone from receptionist to cleaner because your granddaughter turns up.
im enjoying nasty nick and think kal's daughter has a thing for him
How come that Max can get ADHD out of the blue??!! :D It's a condition that you won't get overnight!! So stupid..
And what has happened to Kylie? Why is she suddenly so mean to Gail again? Did I miss something? I know they didn't get on after she cheated on David with Nick, but they were ok again for a while..what's happened?
I don't get Andrea at all! Why does she want to be with Lloyd when she's not serious of him either-or doesn't love her husband either! She's a player..

She is nasty to Gail because of Michael and I think Andrea loves Lloyd but maybe is not ready to leave her husband just yet ....
Yes I can understand they don't necessarily approve that Gail is getting close with Michael and bringing her into house. But their behavior(hers and David's+Nick's)is totally ott! They have no right going to his work place and getting him fired or threatening him-they far worse than what he(Michael) ever did to them. If I remember right, all we saw was this guy standing in the middle of their living room and fled the scene when Gail and Kylie arrived home-never took anything with him.Quote:

While cleaning a vacant room, left a door ajar while getting something and when I returned I just had this feeling that someone was in the room..can't explain it, weird..I saw curtains moving..and they are heavy curtains..and suddenly this guy appeared from behind one of them laughing and apologizing that he didn't mean to scare me and then just ran out, I was totally frozen. I reported it to security who managed to catch him after he first locked himself in staff dormitories and managed to get a knife to slash the security guard(luckily he wasn't too badly injured..)Afterwards I felt bit shaken thinking what he might have done to me..but I was fine after week or two-athough never left any door ajar while cleaning after that!
Which I don't understand either why doesn't she move out from that house?? She could do whatever she wanted and would serve right those two selfish excuse of human beings when they didn't have a free baby sitting services 24/7!

Parkerman just seen you're browsing this thread, all of us missing your posts and Alan's. Hope you will participate very soon.
Firstly, everybody reacts differently when confronted with crime, because you got over it in a couple of weeks, does not mean everybody else has to. And she is living in what used to be her house for many years and maybe she likes being involved with her son and grandchildren or maybe she can't afford to live on her own. I do agree that is is not up to David, Kylie or Nick to decide that Michael is not good enough for her and certainly getting him sacked and threatening him is totally out of order!!Quote:

This new "nasty Nick" is very entertaining though. I couldn't help but laugh (with horror) at what he said to Kal's family about Leanne.
I hope both Gail and Leanne manage to get their own back!
:wall:All this bickering between Nick and Leanne in front of customers is so unprofessional
Nick's said he'd rather drive the business into the ground than let Leanne have part of it, so I don't think he cares!Quote:
