Vivean Gray (Mrs Mangel) dies aged 92
Reports are starting to come in that Vivean Gray has died aged 92. Can't see anything on the Neighbours website or Twitter feeds yet but the Prisoner feeds are starting to announce this news.

R.I.P Vivean Gray
Mrs Mangel was a great character yes she was rather an old battle axe, but she cared for those close to her |

I remember her as Mrs Jessup in The Sullivans, a character who was very similar to Mrs Mangel

Sad news. Seems even more appropriate we saw the famous Mrs Mangel painting in Neighbours recently.

Oh this is sad. I didn't realise she was born in Cleethorpes either-i always assumed she was born in Australia.

She was a great character back in the day. I loved the whole plain Jane superbrain storyline and her getting together with Mike.
RIP and condolences to her family. |

When I first read this I also questioned it but the originating tweet came from a member of the Prisoner cast. Odd that nothing has been released yet by Neighbours though.

Sad news if true that Vivean Gray has died at the age of 92, she was wonderful as Mrs Mangel and she is one of the all time great soap characters not just in Neighbours but out of soaps in general remarkable considering she was only in Neighbours for a short period really. I have mentioned it on here before but Vivean Gray looked ancient in the 1980's she was 'only' in her early 60's when she was in Neighbours but could of passed as 10 years older at least, my Mum is the same age as Mrs. Mangel was then now but she looks so much younger, i don't know if people seemed to age quicker back then as apposed to now but it seems strange somehow still 92 years of age is a fantastic innings.

Has this been confirmed anywhere? I can't see anything online at all about her death being reported. If it is true, then RIP to a brilliant actress.

RIP, Vivien.
Mrs Mangel was a sour old boot, but such a legendary Neighbours character. Even plenty of non viewers would have been aware of the character. |

I use the term "shameless hussy" to this very day - I'd never heard it until Mrs Mangel uttered it to Madge

I can't find anything other than this thread.
RIP, sad news if she has passed. If not then the thread and hoax is in very poor taste |

Prisoner Cell Block H
6 hrs · Word is reaching us that actress Vivean Gray has passed away at the age of 92. Probably best remembered as Mrs Mangel in Neighbours, she also played the role of Edna Pearson in Prisoner. We send our thoughts to Vivean's family and friends during this time. 6 days after her birthday |
