The late actress portrayed the iconic Hilda Ogden on the
popular soap from 1964 to 1987, and surpassed away just days earlier than her
ninetieth birthday in October this yr after being taken ill and rushed to
health facility.
The special function may be constituted of conventional
clips from her time as Hilda, as well as coronary heart-warming messages from
friends, family, and forged members.
The special will air as part of the festive agenda due to
"big public affection" for the celebrity and her "exceptionally
famous cleaning soap individual".
even though the broadcaster agree Jean's legacy deserves a
festive season slot, the programme won't take the pinnacle spot on Christmas
Day (25.12.16), rather airing on December 20.
An ITV supply told the every day mirror newspaper:
"there was even communicate of placing the tribute to Jean Alexander out
on Christmas Day she was that massive a character on display for ITV, however
it is now searching like airing just before on December 20.
"The tribute may be packed complete of fun and circle
of relatives humour and the programme is already being filmed and is expected
to be a real ratings winner.
"Jean become a much loved actress and the general
public out pouring of grief following her demise reminded many at the pinnacle
of television how iconic cleaning soap characters were in the days before
television had such a lot of channels."
'Coronation road' did air a unique episode in memory of Jean
at the time of her passing, however bosses say they desired to recollect her

And It isn't always the first time Jean has stolen hearts
over Christmas both, as she bid originally goodbye to the traditional cleaning
soap on Christmas Day in 1987.
