[jppd]

Departed coronation character 8-4 tflenaailrew.
Do not watch it THANKS in advance for any help
Hope all my letters are right

[dannyk13]

Does the clue read Coronation or Coronation street?

[jppd]

Coronation street character

[scorpiojo]

Are you sure of the letters?

[elliemay1]

I can't find any Coronation character with (8,4) letters!

[scorpiojo]

Is it 4,8 not 8,4?

[dannyk13]

If 4-8 it could be recently deceased Tina McIntyre (if your letters are way out)

[TheWinner]

The answer is Farewell Tina.

The actual clue was: an ITV tribute, - to a recently departed character.
(not THE NAME of a departed character),
That's what was confusing people.
Anyway, good luck, I hope you win.

[scorpiojo]

Many thanks, TW

Hi everyone, yes, having the correct clue always helps. I have just come in, having picked up this weeks edition, read the clue, and noticed the discrepancy.

^It's amazing how many of the names meant nothing to me even though I've been an avid viewer since the start!

[elliemay1]

^Was just about to post that myself, Baldric.

[dannyk13]

Doh.
