Susie Blake is returning to CS

Terrific news and great for continuity, given that Deirdre and Bev were so close. It's incredible to think that it's been nine years since Bev last graced the cobbles. I really enjoyed her very believable relationship with Shelley and her role in the domestic abuse plot with Charlie Stubbs. |

This is great. I was worried that they weren't going to bring her back, but now they are. And the same actress as well!

Let's hope that they get this one right. Anne Kirkbride was one of the show's greatest legends and deserves a send-off on a par with the brilliant one that Blanche got back in 2010. The initial signs look promising with both Bev and Peter returning for the funeral.

Yay, so glad Bev is returning, I always liked her and her close friendship with Deirdre was great.
I would quite like to see Shelley back too. |

Terrific news. The amount of times Deirdre's been to see Bev recently it wouldn't have been believable had she not shown up. Nice one Susie Blake. Hopefully we'll get a bit of an update on how Shelley's coping with Charlie's (8-year-old?
) kid now as well.

Truly fantastic news. The only real returns Deirdre's send-off needed was Peter and Bev, I'm delighted she has both coming back. Just their presence is enough.
However, I'm not sure how pleased Bev will be to see Peter in any case! |

Fantastic! Will be lovely to see Bev again, even under the sad circumstances.

I was never a huge fan of the character but I agree it would have been strange had she not been there, given Deirdre has been staying with her!! Well done for that Corrie bosses!!

I'm hoping we'll have some references to Shelley and her son at some point.

It would've been slightly ridiculous if she hadn't returned given that that is where Deidre has been for the past few months.

As others have said, it was necessary given that Deirdre's staying with her. But her first meeting with Peter since 2003 could be explosive...

The article says that she is returning for the funeral but I would like Bev to return to break the sad news that Deirdre has died.

So with Susie Blake returning, it can't be long before Katherine Kelly returns as Becky now surely?

I dont recall Deirdre and Bev being close back when Bev was onscreen. Liz and Eileen were Deirdre's best mates back in the early 00s and bizarrely Frankie Baldwin used to hang around with that group as well despite being at least a couple of decades younger than them. I don't remember Bev being part of their group she was always with Shelley and Fred.
Was Deirdre and Bev's close friendship created (or at least exaggerated) after Bev left to give Deirdre an excuse to go offscreen? As once Liz returned from Spain all of Deirdre's nearest and dearest lived on the street. |

Were Deirdre and Bev really that close? I remember them sharing a few scenes but I've never regarded Bev as a close friend of Deirdre. Apart from her current visit, did Deirdre really continue visiting her after she left the street or is that something they're retconning in now?
It's good that they are making the effort, more than they did for Betty when they couldn't even be bothered to ask Julie Goodyear, who would've probably done it for that reason, to return. |

I agree with the last two posters. I don't remember Bev and Deidre being close at all!

Why? There's no connection between the two situations or characters. Susie Blake is returning for the fictional funeral of a real friend who has died - how is that related to Katherine Kelly and Becky?

Becky was previously married to Steve, who had a daugther with his ex-wife, whose mother was Diedre. So there is a connection.
And don't forget that Becky didn't end on good terms with her; Deirdre let Becky take the flak for Tracy losing the babies when she knew that it wasn't true what Tracy was saying. |
