The Gooner Forum

so sad to hear the news Geoffrey Hughes has died aged 68, to be honest i thought he was a lot younger than that.

I Remember him so much in the 80s playing bin man Eddie Yeats in Corrie, than lazy Onslow in Keeping up appearances and then Twiggy in the Royale Family

Seemed like a real top bloke, and has been taken early to the dread cancer


RIP Geoffrey

RIP

Lupe Ontiveros (September 17, 1942 – July 26, 2012) was an American film and television actress. Ontiveros acted in numerous films and television shows, most often playing a maid or, more recently, an all-knowing grandmother; she once estimated that she had played a maid at least 150 times on stage and screen. She was nominated for an Emmy Award for her work on Desperate Housewives and received critical acclaim for her role in Chuck and Buck, for which she won the National Board of Review award for Best Supporting Actress, and was also nominated for an Independent Spirit Award.

I really believed she'd popped her clogs. Not nice.

Funny, though.

R.I.P Geoffrey.
Was a classic Coronation Street character used to love him and Stan Ogden eating their chips.

And Lupe too.

Olgit has opened a new R.I.P thread to keep them all in one place so in future will post on that.

It would be nice to have a pic in case we don't recognise the name.
