I thought Cora was brilliant tonight warning Roxy off Max. Ann Mitchell is a force to be reckoned with, hope she gets used a lot more and we get to see her throw her weight around a bit. I love a tough old bird

If you've never seen it before, I'd suggest checking out Lynda la Plante's 'Widows'. It's probably Ann's 'signature' role and she's an absolute force of nature in it. Brilliant!
Whenever I see her in EE, I smile. I know she's going to say or do something unforgettable. She's one of the best.
I met Ann Mitchell, a year or so before she joined EE, and she was lovely. Totally unlike Dolly Rawlins / Cora Cross.
Don't tell me that, I've always hoped that one day Dolly Rawlins would give me a slap
(If you ask her nicely).
Cora's such a fantastic character. She's very wise, and yet hard as nails at the same time. With her consolation of Jean last week and her comforting of Lucy earlier I think the writers are finally tapping into her matriarch potential. Ann is an absolute gem and delivers her performances with such class. Whenever she's on screen I find it hard to look away. I hope she sticks around for a long long time to come and the writers would do well to hang onto this one for as long as they can. They're onto a real winner here.
