    I loved Lynne Perrie as Ivy Tilsley. Her role as a gritty northern woman in 'Kes' drew acclaim and later Coronation Steet became the perfect platform for her. We viewers were fortunate to be able to enjoy her talent for many years. Superb actress, just superb.

      I think you're right even more so because of just how mental she was and the complete opposite of Ivy outside of the character.

      Yes i agree with you 100%
      So many seem to find fault with Ivy & way back when these episodes were 1st broadcast i also couldnt stand Ivy
      Yet 40 odd years on & rewatching these episodes i find i have a real soft spot for Ivy
      Shes a tiny little woman with steely determination & lives for her family & underneath her armour played exterior is a very tender heart filled with compassion & respect.
      She tries hard to be good & loyal & does her best to provide for her family & friends
      Her inquisitive nature has a tendancy to poke her nose in abit too far but she isn't malicious & only wants to get to the bottom of things & help
      I admire her gutsy attitude but i didnt like Don Brennan!
      He was too slippery & cunning & aggressive & dominated Ivy
      I really loved Bert Tilsley he was such a good kind gentle man to his family & community
      Sadly missed
      I thought Ivy previous chap, George? Mike Baldwin's driver
      Was much better suited to Ivy & only Ivys faith prevented her from marrying him as he was only divorced & not a widower.
      Don't know if you know but Ivys
      ( Lynne Perrie) brother in real life was a very well know comedian, often on tv & comedy shows called Dougie Brown
      In fact i think Lynne & Dougie were twins.
      Anyway nice to see a fellow Ivy fan
      Cheers

      Ah thank you for your correction
      I wasnt quite sure about Lynne & Dougie
      In fact i rather liked Dougie Brown & found him funny
      Its said that Lynne Perrie & Liz Dawn were a comedic duo touring the club circuit with Dougie Brown before they hit the big time in Corrie
      I wonder if Bill Tarmey, Jack Duckworth was also on the club scene?
      Bill is a pretty good piano man & whether he has a good voice in reality & only sings abit iffy because of Jacks character i know not.
      I do remember actress Violet Carson ( Ena Sharples) was a well known pianist in real life & all her scenes where she sat at the organ, was her really playing.
      Makes you wonder who else from the past also started out on club circuits or prior to Corrie, had hidden talents in entertainment

    Ivy Tilsley was an understated and well defined character in Coronation Street. I don’t understand the animosity. She was a loyal wife and mother who stood up for her beliefs. It’s not like she was lining up for her Methadone every morning and stealing and whoring her way through life. She had backbone and was not afraid to stand up to anyone. Look at Tracey Barlow (Kate Ford era). She has gotten away with serious crimes. A truly vile and despicable creature with no morals. But then, that’s the world we live in now eh.

Then a bit of humour from the others before Carole mouthing off while blinkered Rita kept her dignity, ending by looking Carole up and down with an insincere nice meeting you!

      Exactly right ! Gail was an absolute git, she's so stupid. Suddenly the man she did not love and did not want anything to do with, meant so much to her after he died hence why she wanted to do the funeral in her own way telling Ivy practically to bog off. Gail always acted as if she was the victim in every situation. I thought so too that Gail may become more down to earth but obviously not. She's a selfish idiot.

    Why does a wife have more of a say on a man's funeral than his own mother? The mother gave him life, nurtured and protected him through childhood. The mother is his blood and DNA. A wife doesnt come remotely close to that. Why on earth does she, Gail, have more of a say than Ivy? I don't understand that. Brian came from Ivy. She has THE say on how his funeral goes, in my opinion.
