R.I.P.

I was just wondering tonight why she has been off the show so long.

Genuinely shocked,had she been ill?

That's awful, and so out of the blue :( R.I.P.

this is so sad, rip

I read she had said she wasn't going back to The Street after her 3 month break.

What? is this serious???

WTF

Why?

Oh no I really really liked her on the show she was brilliant :(

Awwww no! RIP :sad:

:( at that

I'm honestly and truely choked up at this news, she fought cancer so courageously :(

Why?

Wow. Sudden

Jesus christ, this is shocking, she has been part of Corrie ever since i started watching when i was a kid.. she always seemed full of life & was part of some big storylines not long ago. RIP :sad:

Was she a smoker?

WTF! I'm absolutely gutted. Won't be the same without her there.

R.I.P. An absolute icon.

Heartbreaking

Omg I'm honestly so upset<\3

:love: :(

RIP Anne :(

She has been a big miss of late, RIP Deidre and her stuffed marrow

I cant believe this :(

Its weird coz shes in all of our living rooms 3 nights a weeks its like we knew her.

I read she wasn't returning to the show but I thought after the whole Bill Roach court case she wanted to distance herself.

How did she go? Was she ill?
