The recent Stars on the Street programme reminded me of how great Sir Ian McKellen was on Corrie. Mel Hutchwright was a brilliant character. His digs at Ken were - and Corrie fans will know that this is praise of the highest order - almost as good as the classics from sorely missed Blanche. But more importantly - whatever happened to Emily's Dresden figurines, which Mel nicked from her mantelpiece? Will he ever develop a conscience and bring them back (unlikely)? Did he flog them on Ebay? Have they turned up on Dickinson's Real Deal yet?By the way, it's great to see an older actor who doesn't have massive dazzling white teeth for once. I notice that Rula Lenska has had her gnashers done. I suppose they all feel obliged to, nowadays, but call me weird (or just old), I prefer teeth with a bit of "age" to them, i.e. the yellowy brown NHS look. According to Julie Goodyear's thoroughly entertaining autobiography "Just Julie", Pat Phoenix used to keep her choppers in a glass in her dressingroom between takes - now that's class.
