I hope she pulls through 
| Quote: | Coronation Street star Maggie Jones, who plays Blanche Hunt, is "seriously ill" after major surgery.
It is not clear what sort of operation she has undergone, but a spokeswoman told BBC Radio 5 live the 75-year-old had been written out for a while.
She did not give any more details about the actress's condition, but denied recent newspaper reports that Jones had ruptured her spleen.
"Everyone's wishing her a speedy recovery," the spokeswoman said.
"She's had an operation and obviously she's in her 70s. Our thoughts are with her.
"She's been written out of storylines for the time being, everyone's wishing her a speedy recovery."
Jones's character, Blanche, is best known for her cutting putdowns and frank comments.
'My beautiful Maggie'
She has appeared in the ITV soap as Deirdre's mother regularly since the late 1990s.
Her fellow actor Bill Tarmey, who plays pensioner Jack Duckworth, said his thoughts were with the actress.
"My beautiful Maggie," he said. "She is a delight, she is wonderful and I am just hoping she will be OK.
"We just sit and laugh together and I need her to get better otherwise I will be sitting on my own." |

I suppose I should explain 
I actually can't stand the character of Blanche  and she is one of the many reasons I stopped watching Corrie 
I do however, as already said, wish Maggie Jones who plays her a speedy recovery  |
