Rita's not really leaving 'Coronation Street'
Published Thursday, Jul 16 2009, 14:05 BST | By Kris Green | Add comment
Tablod reports today suggesting that Rita Sullivan (Barbara Knox) is quitting her Coronation Street workplace The Kabin - and the soap - are untrue.
Barbara's very much staying with the show and with its 50th anniversary just around the corner, why wouldn't she?
In a September storyline, Rita announces her intention to retire and decides to sell her share of the business to Norris (Malcolm Hebden), who owns the other part.
Her decision is part of a comedy storyline and Rita's retirement doesn't last long at all - she's back where she belongs in no time.
Mind you, I wouldn't believe all the soapy hype in the papers - the same tabloid also claimed that Betty Williams (Betty Driver) was to lose her job behind the bar at The Rovers. At the time it sounded a permanent move but it lasted all of one episode. Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.
