Deirdre Barlow appreciation day

What an excellent though - you are certainly right in saying that Dreary is something different from the classic Corrie woman. In the 1970s Deirdre almost bordered on being a feminist, and many scripts would see her making comments against the chauvinism of the male residents. This all changed when she got with Ken and Deirdre became a bit of a dullard, but in spite of this she's still great.

For the longest time Deirdre has been the voice of sanity and decency between her evil and outrageous mother and daughter - it almost makes you forget that she is anything but sensible herself. She must have gotten some easy care clothing recently, though. In the eighties she seemed to spend all her time at home at the ironing board!

I think we can have appreciation days for all of them some time in the future.. good idea.
