Re: End Of An Era
I've never really taken to Jack and Ve.
She was funny back in the old days at Baldwin's Casuals, with her best mate Ivy Tillsley. Always ready to skive, or call a strike, and all very Rag Trade.
The last ten years or so, the writers have given her a bum deal, and in my opinion have made her a bit pathetic, with Jack and Vera becoming little more than pantomime characters, which I think is unfair to Liz Dawn, who could easily have risen to the challenge of a meatier role.
It was sad. I'm sure people that watched all imagined the times when they've faced death, and yes I shed a tear, only one mind, when Tyrone hugged Vera's grandson Paul, even though he knows he's a bad un.
