Tough time for Kate to resist her emotions

Kate-FordKate Ford, the 'Coronation Street' star admitted that she tried her best, but could not stop her from showing the real-life emotions while filming her screen grandmother Blanche Hunt's funeral scenes.

Tracy Barlow, her jailed character in the soap, will be shown first time in three years next month following her day of release to pay her last tribute to Weatherfield battleaxe.

In an interview to Manchester Evening news, Ford said "I went to Maggi's funeral in London- that was beautiful. But for me, personally, I had to not think about Maggie when it was Blanche's funeral because that would have been too hard to get through the day".

She said that Maggie had a naughty sense of humour. While some of her statements shocked her, Maggie was a really good fun, she added.

Paying tribute to her, Ford said that no one can forget Maggie for her spirit and also for the fact that she was a good actress.
