    Daily Mail reports:

    Hayley Cropper commits suicide in Coronation Street, by Jim Shelley
    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2542798/Hayleys-assisted-suicide-leaves-Roy-nation-tears-For-Weatherfield-Walford-look-chirpy-grim-night-Coronation-Street-writes-Jim-Shelley.html
    The theme tune to Coronation Street had never sounded so funereal, like the type of mournful jazz lament traditionally found during a procession in New Orleans. It announced that Hayley Cropper (nee Harold Patterson) was departing, escaping her cancer by drinking a frothy cocktail of drugs - the climax to a storyline supported by an organisation advocating the controversial issue of terminally ill patients' right to die.
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

      Didn't see it but is that slightly odd remark a reference to the fact that Vaughan Williams's 'Lark Ascending' was, I gather from a relative, in at the kill ...? Which will no doubt send it soaring up the CFM / BBC Breakfast charts. Though good on Corrie for having some decent music. (I've seen a couple of scenes in the past where Roy's had some Mahler going in their flat above 'Roy's Rolls' )
      "...the isle is full of noises,
      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        Most moving Corrie scene since Hilda opened the parcel of Stan's effects she brought home from the hospital ?

          Or the sobering moment of Martha Longhurst's death in the Snug? Ena Sharples loved a good tune too!

            I haven't watched for a while, but I bet there'll be trouble at the funeral!

            I'm told that the lovely Todd is now back from London's fleshpots as an evil character, thus following the rule that the gays have to die or commit terrible deeds.

                Oh, no!!! I couldn't bear to watch it again! As I remember, there was a crowd of regulars laughing and singing out at the bar when suddenly ... and all fell silent.
