Blighty’s Corrie Fan Newsletter is saddened to learn that actress Maggie Jones, who played the role of Blanche Hunt on Coronation Street, has passed away. She was 75 years old.
As previously reported in this newsletter, Maggie received surgery for an undisclosed life-threatening condition a few weeks ago. It had been reported that she was recovering and had been in good spirits, but sadly she passed away in her sleep on Wednesday 2nd December in hospital in England.
Blighty’s Corrie Fan Newsletter will pay tribute to Maggie in our next issue. I am sure that all Corrie fans will share our sorrow in losing so fine an actress. May she walk forever, without pain or distress, on heaven’s own cobbles.

My condolences to Maggie’s family and friends. Her sharp tongue will definately be missed on the street.
I have been watching Corrie since I have been a youngster here in Canada. Although Maggie as Blanche was most annoying, she sure played the part to perfection. I will surely miss her busybody ways on the Street.
RIP Maggie. I will miss you so much. You never let us down.
sorry to heart of Maggie’s passing. It seems strange to see her on the show still as we still see episodes with her in it. I will miss Blanche’s biting wit!
Oh, I’m so sad that Maggie Jones passed away. I loved watching her scenes…you never knew what was going to come out of her mouth. LOL She will be greatly missed on the show!
