Dame Maureen Lipman has been flooded with praise from Coronation Street viewers after she was involved in heartbreaking scenes. The actress plays Evelyn Plummer in the ITV soap and this week, fans watched as the character said a heartbreaking farewell to her beloved dog, Cerberus.
Viewers across the country were breaking their hearts over the scenes after Evelyn heeded her family's advice and took her beloved greyhound to the vets after he refused to eat his favourite tea and appeared less than his usual self. The vet had clear concern for the greyhound and later confirmed Cerberus was suffering from kidney failure and that it was the kindest thing to put him to sleep.
And, after the tear-jerking episode, there was plenty of praise for Evelyn actress Maureen, with fans wanting her to bag some awards. @Zombiechick1967 tweeted: "Give Maureen Lipman any awards going because she deserves them all after that!! #Corrie #CoronationStreet@40SomethingTalk said: "@itvcorrie Maureen Lipman deserves awards for tonight's episode.
