OK, so THIS happened yesterday: The Bride and I are HUGE fans of the British soap Coronation Street. It’s a weekly religious experience for us. The writing and acting are top notch. So, just for giggles, we drove to Hamilton to see two of the stars of the show — Sally Ann Matthews, who plays “Jenny” and Charlotte Jordan, who plays “Daisy”. They entertained us for two hours and then came a meet and greet session for those of us who paid a bit extra. Well, having worked at the Canadian Press for a quarter century, I saw and met some celebs over the years — all decent, some more than others. Sally Ann and Charlotte took it to a whole new level. It was as if THEY had purchased tickets to see US. Hugs, heartfelt chats, the works. And they acted that way with everyone in the meet and greet line. Never in my life have I met TV celebrities with less ego. What a treat it was for us to have spent a few minutes with them.
