Characters Not Killed or Replaced Soon After Actor's Death

[DRW50]

On Corrie, Ena Sharples left town in early 1980, planned to return. Violet Carson became too sick to work, and passed away a few years later. The character was never killed off. Ditto for Annie Walker, for many years after Doris Speed suddenly left in 1983.
