Coroanation Street [Janices Patient]

[Springdouble]

Can anyone tell me who the actor is that played Janice Battersbys Heart attack victim smoking pal in this weeks episode as he looks very familiar. Also, what is the point of this story as we hadn't seen him before and won't again?

[daniela31]

we have seen him before, they have been chatting for a couple of episodes. The story is that she now wants to become a nurse and asks ken for tuition.

[crisgal]

don't know, but whose teeth did he have in? The top set didn't look like his own!
Harry Hill took the mickey, but I thought he acted it well.
I think maybe it was to give Janice a bit of a storyline.

[crisgal]

what the hell does Ken know about being a nurse??

[daniela31]

she is going to ask him what qualifications she needs.

[chinadog]

Kens gonna be too busy with his new ladyfriend to tutor Janice!

[Springdouble]

Thanks for the answers chaps, but I thought Janice was being "managed out" as they say, and Ken is far too busy at the minute w?alking the dog and philandering , isn't he?

[daniela31]

He is not philandering. Just one woman, and it gives him someone to talk to on the same intelectual plane as himself.
Does Drearie know who Blanche Dubois is?

[Ethel]

Mike was played by Anthony Bessick - he's been in a few things including Heartbeat, True Dare Kiss, The Royal

"dreary" probably wouldn't know who Blanche Dubois is, or maybe she will, wasn't her mum, also Blanche named after same?

Anthony Bessick ('Mike') is now featuring a lot on Harry Hill - including last night! Very clever if you like this stuff.
