    Les Battersby

    Just heard on the radio BBC GMR that the new Corrie producer is planning on killing off Les Battersby after Bruce Jones was axed last year, and his funeral with pave the way for Leanne's mother Andrea.

    Should be interesting to see how Janice is going to react to this. Sad to see Les being killed off though, I had hoped that they might forgive him and bring him back one day.

    Chesney said the other night that Les was managing Status Quo.

    Looks like they're killing Les off as they need to tie up a few loose ends, as it's getting unbelievable.

    In real life Bruce Jones, the actor, slagged everybody off after having too much to drink so they sacked him. In the storyline he went off as roadie with Status Quo, must have been promoted to manager if Chesney is right. He was a fun character and I have missed him.

    O dear

    Such a shame, he was a fun character, although his death could make things interesting, I know that sounds kinda cruel

    i doubt we are supposed to believe Les is manager of Status Quo, i'm guessing that's what Chesney was told by him though to make it sound cooler.

    and i dont really care since his character wasn't going to come back anyway. and if we get Leanne's mum out of the storyline then it should be worthwhile. methinks there's a good story there.

    When the Battersby's first arrived on the street they were entertaining as the street has never seen anyone this common before. But Bruce is just like Keith from EE a loud mouth scruffy layabout. There is no difference in the character he plays to the real Bruce Jones.

    unlike his two screen daughters Leeanne & Toyah who left the cobbles sucessfully purse other project outwith the street. Buce shot himself in the foot when he started bad mouthing other Corrie stars. If he was fed up and wanted to leave Corrie the bosses would have given him a decent exit and left it open for him to return one day. As it was he broke the golden rule that you don't bite the hand that feeds. And if Corrie has decided to kill him off then it's sweet revenge so that he can't ask for his job back.

    Bruce hasn't had any work offers since leaving Corrie and he isn't likely to either unless he signs up for countless realit shows. He has been his own worst enemy and he won't get the kind of income he was getting from Corrie again.
