  • Bill Kenwright RIP

    From GordonD@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 24 18:00:30 2023
    Bill Kenwright, who played Gordon Clegg (son of Betty Turpin) has died.
    He was perhaps better known as a theatrical producer and chairman of
    Everton FC.

    I can't place him and since we arrived in Canada in 1967 and CBC did
    not at that point show Corrie, likely that's why, there's a chunk
    there I missed.

    He was in for about a year, then in and out for many years - a few
    episodes at a time mainly

    At one point Gordon was played by another actor because he was unavailable

    Last appearances were Betty's funeral in 2012

    He had a noticeable Scouse accent both in and out of character; he was
    also a presenter on Radio 2 in the UK for some years.

    So sad he didn't live to see the new stadium, but at least he won't see
    us relegated next May.

    Might just miss it, those below seem worse. Ipswich on the other hand... Might see you up there. ;-)
