Coranation street as well.!

No. Kitty McGeever is only in Emmerdale and is blind. There is no blind actor in Coronation Street.

Are you thinking of that lady who Jack is seeing at the mo? She looks a bit like the lady in Emmerdale.

[lilacben]

Hi Mrs chappie,
Yes that was the lady I was talking about. very alike aren't they.?
Many thanks barry, is she blind really.!! what surprise I thought she was sighted and just not a good actress as she is alwas looking at the others when she speaks, as if she can see them. She even looks down at her hands.
Many thanks both of you.

[mrs.chappie]

Yes lilacben, they are very much alike.

Something puzzles me about the blind lady. If she is completely blind, how does she manage to put her make-up on so accurately?

[barry1010]

She is completely blind and no doubt her make up is put on by the make up artists.

Rita May, who plays Connie, was Jean in Early Doors.

Hi barry.

There was a scene shown on the tv, where she was touching up her mascara. I struggle to put mine on, and I can see!

[barry1010]

I'd struggle to put it on, sighted or not. My wife always puts her lipstick on without looking in a mirror.

[souldriver]

I remember the woman in corrie from ITV kids show childrens ward.

[lilacben]

Yes thats it I knew I had seen her before.! Many thanks

it amazes me how some people assume that the blind and /or disabled are somehow unable to do things such as putting makeup on ....as i know kitty well i know her to be extremely intelligent and probably the most courageous person i have ever or will ever meet ....
i dont understand the looking down at hands comment ,,,,,she is aware that she has hands and the last time she could see they were at the end of her arms :0)
