Epic! Can't wait to see Vera again

Apparently...

"If the rumours are true, then Jack will bow out of Coronation Street on Monday with a touching dream sequence featuring his beloved Vera."

Aye

Me too and please say Jack confronts Molleh before he snuffs it.

[Smithy]

Omg, tomorrow

[Mrluvaluva]

For the week...

Spoiler:

CORRIE fans are going to be in absolute floods of tears on Monday night.

If Vera Duckworth’s death in 2008 was emotional, then we’ll all be wrecks at the poignant scenes surrounding the death of her husband Jack.

Suffering from cancer, he passes away quietly in his sleep on his 64th birthday, sitting in the same armchair that Vera died in and clutching her photograph.

It happens after he enjoys the surprise birthday party that Tyrone and Molly have arranged for him in the Rovers. He holds court, reminiscing about his three decades on the street and making a speech over his cake.

Molly is taken aback when Jack reveals that he knows about her affair with Kevin and that Tyrone is not baby Jack’s father. But he decides to take the secret to his grave rather than upset everyone.

Tyrone is still heartbroken, though, when he gets home to discover the body of the man who he considers a father figure.

Make sure you tune in on Wednesday to the excellent documentary Farewell Jack, paying tribute to Bill Tarmey’s 31 years on the soap.

Nick is impressed as Leanne works flat out to ensure the opening night of their bar goes ahead, and when he hears that she’s going to miss her wedding dress fitting, he insists he’ll drive her there.

But seeing his ex-wife in a long white dress stirs up old emotions, and by the end of the week the pair are locking lips again, after the high of the successful opening night party.

Meanwhile Leanne’s fiancé Peter is spending more time with Carla, trying to encourage her to stay on the wagon, especially after she’s arrested for drink driving. But when she drunkenly makes a pass at him, he gently pushes her away. If only he knew what Leanne was doing....which Rosie does, after walking in on them in a clinch. Something tells me she’s going to use this knowledge to her own advantage.

John is tormented by silent calls at work, but by the end of the week he discovers who his stalker is.

Sophie and Sian are in a dilemma when the pastor tells them homosexuality is a sin, but they are surprised by the reaction they get from Emily.

Vera was the original head bitch in charge.
that said, not as much crying as I expected

[Angus]

Aww, RIP Jack Duckworth

[Callum]

That was so sad

Vera's appearance was really touching

[Jack_]

Just watched Jack's final episode, very moving - and I've not watched properly in years.

Wasn't he supposed to bow out during the tram crash though? Seems a bit odd that they didn't keep him on until then, or am I missing something?

[Smithy]

I think they wanted him to die separately because he's been in it so long, that he deserved his own send off, rather than it being him and a bunch of others who would have taken away from him dying.

31 years and be given an exit like he got?

Or 31 years, ploughed into by a tram and killed with a few others, kthnxbi

I know which one the producers would have favoured ... I dont think he was ever going to be killed by the tram

[Novo]

Poor Tryone

[Jords]

Vera :') Jack :')

[Jords]

Tyrone is gonna be left with nothing.

No Jack, no Molly if rumours are true shes dying in the fire and no baby Jack because of that twat Kevin.

[Smithy]

I think tbh it'd be best if he died in the tram crash too

[Novo]

Probably would be, there won't be much of a storyline for him after the tram crash.. suppose he could just move away with the baby

[Smithy]

He has no rights to the baby
They'll give it to Kevin just to throw a spanner in the works between him and sally :/

Fair enough.

I don't mean killed by the tram, I too agree that'd be a bad exit for him. But I mean him still being there to witness the crash and the 50th Birthday of the street? Surely as an actor and as a character that's not something you'd want to miss out on, especially after being there for so long? They could've postponed the death until a few days/weeks after the crash.

I wasn't sure whether he died/just left tonight anyway, I just heard it was his 'final scenes' so tuned in.

[bbfan1991]

Aww poor Jack, t'was nice when OUR VERA appeared though. Tbh I did feel emotional but not as much as Carol's grief over Billie in Eastenders.

I'm feeling sorry for poor Tyrone and disliking Molly/Kevin even more, I really like Tyrone and once it all comes out might give his character more life.

Loving Carla tonight, she is so hot and for me she's better than Tina anyday of the week!.

[flamingGalah!]

Was very sad, brilliantly done with Vera coming for Jack, then the camera panning up through the house & up out of the roof for them going up to heaven... Beautiful...

[Scarlett.]

*****ing amazing, seriosuly, I didn't expect to cry, then when Vera replied to Jack...My GOD! It came out by the bucket loads

Oh, and then they hit us with "Goodnight...dad"

[Kerry]

Night Night Jack

This weeks gonna be so tearful. I cried from the minute Ken said goodbye and raised his glass to him
