Anne Kirkbride - Deidre Barlow of Corrie

[von Boom]

Sad news. My wife really liked her character on Corrie.

My mother in law is going to be gutted.

Blimey, Origa's additions to the GitS OST's where vital in setting up the tone for those great series. 44 is no age to go out for such a strong talent.

This one really hits me hard because, GITS: SAC being one of the first shows I picked up on DVD when I came back to anime, her vocal on the intro tune literally made me sit up and go 'WOAH!'

She was, by all accounts, a really lovely human being.

And now, today, waking up to the news about Anne Kirkbride is similarly awful. A lynchpin of British TV, and often a figure of parody... gone at 60.

What a bloody shame.

Hate soaps with a passion but Anne obviously was a big part of people's lives and meant something to them. So RIP Anne. Z

Saddened to hear this, electronic pioneer Edgar Froese of Tangerine Dream.

Demis Roussos.
My Mum was a fan of his and he was the singer of this classic.......

It's weird I only heard 666 at the end of last year and really dug it! RIP Demis

Given today's Greek Vote and the Demise of Demis, I thought this song was very appropriate: http://open.spotify.com/track/3wqirUxd7aQfnGfS0gfZj0

[Mattofthespurs]

Any mention of Demis Roussos automatically makes me think of 'Abigail's Party'.

The brilliant Geraldine McEwan - overwhelming associated with Miss Marple but had a long and incredible career. Best known to me as the brilliantly sharp Cassandra in the otherwise risible eighth series of Red Dwarf:

Sad news about Ms. McEwan. Strangely, I just started watching Red Dwarf from the beginning yesterday.

[Goaty]

Aww she was the best thing with Alan Rickman in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
