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
I'm constantly amazed by her. The woman's a total force of life. I think I might actually fancy her. And as a twenty year old guy I find that a little bit disconcerting...

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!
Giving this a bump. We need to spread the Cora love.
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.
I saw the actress who plays Cora at The Barbican Centre last thursday. She was with a group of people, including Jo Joyner and they went to see Paul Heaton perform The 8th.
