What a lovely fella Jack Walker,wonder why he hooked up with Annie,total opposites. Ena did have a good heart under that hard exterior.Enjoying these oldies.
fannycraddock99 In those days, people accepted what their age brought them, and didn’t try to pretend they were eternally young. She was an old lady then. People still routinely died in their sixties and seventies more so than now.
Sad part is that She never had any real life children yet any children she came across she was so kind too infact Davy Jones who played Colin her on screen grandson looked to have a Awsome bond with her
Never understood why no one told Vera she was dying. Apart from it being a patient’s right to know, she’d have then known that she would be ‘gone’ before Ena, and wouldn’t have been offended when Ena said that when she (Ena) ‘left this world’ Colin would be all that was left.
It was a different world the 1960s, maybe the Doctor felt Vera wouldn't take the news well, or that she shouldn't be worrying for the little she had left. It's no easier today.
one of the most touching and best acted drama ever seen a lot of folk went with brain tumours in Coronation street could they not think of any other deaths?
Wonderful acting there love jack reminds me of my favourite uncle fred that was sad to watch ena losing her daughter but at least they were spendind some time together
1966.1967 Elsie Tanner changed from Shelley Winters into Elizabeth Taylor - was it a crash diet ? plastic surgery? some secret potion? i guess we will never know
First off Vera died and Jack comforted Ena who was about to break down. Then the silence during the credits was something they did to extend the drama before slowly adding the music. Does that help you?
@@stevesouthall4718 no Steve, Jack Smethurst has died recently. Graham Haberfield, who played Jerry Booth, died in 1975 from a heart attack. He was only 33 bless him. But Jack Smethurst played a character called Eddie Booth in a series called love thy neighbour. Jerry Booth was Graham's Street character name, very confusing. 🥰😁
I can't imagine why Eddie would. He's a stand-up guy, a good soul, someone who tries to do the right thing. Percy was an opportunist who didn't want to spoil his chances of getting whatever he could get. I didn't see racist tendencies in either. How did you?
Not really fluffed lines but back then the episodes went out live, no rehearsals or directors cut, it was, ‘there’s your crypts let’s film it’ mistakes and all.
Jack walker was a lovely man
Hands down my favorite character on Corrie.

I had an Aunt just like Ena. I was her shadow, I got a kick out of how she was plain talking to everyone. She treated me like a favorite child.
Lovely bit between Jack and Ena.
The 'silent' ending is unbelievably brilliant.
No actors left like this any more.
Soooo true on that comment!
The last actress like violet carson was peggy mount
I think only Sandra Gough is the only cast member who is still alive. 😔
Jack such a kind soul.
Eeeee Annie love!🥰
Another Ena excellent performance!
She knew the moment it happened... poor Ena.
Most people's greatest fear is death; the mother of a dead child's greatest fear is living.
Jack was so lovely in this episode.
24:33 on: No dialogue. Just an unseen clock ticking. Excellent acting and use if shadow. One of the best scenes I've seen in Corrie.
Ty so much for uploading these episodes great fan from nz from ❤
Ena always acted like a a very old lady but in reality Violet was only 69!

Wow! I never saw this one before! Thank you for posting.
Great performance. I couldn't stop crying.
Poor Ena 😢😢
She knew Vera had gone - a mothers instinct
Last scene. Pure acting.
Great episode especially the very end!
I like these English Soap Operas
Was Colin Lomax played by Davy Jones from the Monkees? Seem to remember reading that he played Ena's grandson 🤔.
He was
The episode with Davy Jones as Ena’s grandson is on you tube, one of the earliest episodes.
Some truth in what Hilda said to Len! About time someone told him to think before making smart comments!
Notice the Kellog's Corn Flakes box on Elsie's table with Kellog's scored out .
The BBC had policies against promoting commercial product. I guess that's why we don't see the Kellog's name.
@@greggildersleeve3484 Coronation Street was and is nothing to do with the BBC.
@@stevenhighams4190 Oops! :)
Love you Ena
Jack Smethhurst (Love Thy Neighbour) as Percy Bridge . . .
Sadly died just recently 😞 😢.
He played four different parts in the Street.
Some really great lines in this--

2.20 Was that a mistake Peter Adamson (Len) made or deliberate? " He's putting roofs on a slate-uh slates on a roof!" 😂😂😂

What a legend ena was the best 😢😢😢😢😢👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍾🍾🍾
Sounded like Ena called Jack, Len, at 19:50.
A classic episode
Another great show.
The ending 😢
Aye I remember it well... we all had to put black tape on our cornflake packets and even over our eyes if we played volleyball in the nude..
Haha. I guess that's why we didn't see the Kellog's name.

william f having a face lift may have had something to do with it
No just crap actress 😹
Her weight fluctuated a lot during the 60s I've noticed. In the 70s, when I remembered watching her, she seemed to stabilise.
She'd have made a great gangsters Molly, can see her with the Kray twins
If I had a time machine
What was the issue over Stan’s work anyway? Is it explained on a missing episode?
No, he was simply work shy.
😢
Vera Lomax
What happend at the end of the programme then please it was silent why ?????
First off Vera died and Jack comforted Ena who was about to break down. Then the silence during the credits was something they did to extend the drama before slowly adding the music. Does that help you?

Bloody Nora.
He was in it around early 80s too. Think he was a friend of Eddie Yeats 🤔.
Jerry booth

I'm surprised Eddie Booth/Percy Bridge didn't call Stan a racist name when he walked in the pub covered in coal.

All those fluffed lines... was it the LSD or the coke kicking in?
