I RECEIVED an e-mail from Atherton-born actor Dave Dutton after my article last week.
He says he had a good laugh about his mam telling us he was out playing when he was in his early twenties, but mothers always think of their offspring as still being kids no matter what age they are." How true.
Dave says: "Unfortunately she died last year aged 80. She was a great character and a great mam."
He also reveals that he's back working in Corrie for a couple of episodes as yet another character, the eighth role he has played in the soap, but can't give too much away.
I await in anticipation!
