Tributes pour in for Corrie’s Vera.

Coronation Street stars have led tributes to Liz Dawn following her death.

Antony Cotton – the soap’s Sean Tully – wrote on Twitter: “I’m devastated. Liz was a wonderful actress, a fascinating storyteller, a hilarious comedian and most importantly a brilliant friend.

“For many people of my generation, Jack and Vera WERE Coronation Street.”

Kym Marsh – who plays Michelle Connor – wrote: “Just heard the terrible news of our lovely Liz Dawn’s passing. I’m so sad.

“What a wonderful lady. She will be so missed. Love to her family x.”

Actor Kevin Kennedy, who played Corrie character Curly Watts for around 20 years, told ITV’s This Morning: “She took all the youngsters (on the show) under her wing.

“She was a lot cleverer than people thought she was, in regards to acting.

“She was brilliant.

“She was very humble in that respect.”

He added that watching her and Bill Tarmey as a double act was “comedy gold and British comedy and British writing at it’s best”.

He ended saying: “I can only smile when I think of Liz. I can’t think of a better epitaph. It is very sad but what she’s left behind her is invaluable.”

Charlie Condou – who played Marcus Dent – wrote: “Vera Duckworth was classic Corrie. Liz Dawn was a wonderful woman. She will be truly missed. A true icon.”

Corrie and Emmerdale star Chris Bisson wrote: “Very sad to hear the news that Liz Dawn has passed away.

“A wonderful person, amazing actress and total LEGEND! Keep smiling down on us Liz.”
