You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Josephine Caroline Gertrude Mary Faith Harber''' (29 June 1914 &ndash; 30 June 1990), known by the stage name '''Lynne Carol''', was a Welsh born [[actress]], primarily in TV series and telemovies. She was best known for playing busybody [[Martha Longhurst]] in the [[soap opera]] ''[[Coronation Street]]'' from the second episode in 1960 until the character was killed off in 1964.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2ba9672e15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171113061808/http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2ba9672e15|url-status=dead|archive-date=13 November 2017|title=Lynne Carol))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.screenonline.org.uk/tv/id/1136020/index.html|title=BFI Screenonline: Coronation Street – The 1960s|publisher=BFI Screenonline))</ref>

==Biography==
===Early life===
A descendant of six generations of actors, Lynne Carol (also known as  '''Josephine Palmer''') was born in [[Monmouthshire (historic)|Monmouthshire]], south east [[Wales]], where her actor parents Charles Harber and Mina Harber (née McKinnon) were touring in a stage play. Carol started her own acting career at age three. Before landing the part of Martha Longhurst, Carol worked in the provincial theatre for many years.<ref name=":0">((Cite news|date=3 July 1990|title=Lynne Carol – Obituary|work=[[The Times]]))</ref>

===Career===
Carol, although only 46 years old at the time, played Martha Longhurst as a waspish [[Hag|beldam]] many years her senior, who first appeared in December 1960; with [[Ena Sharples]], played by [[Violet Carson]] and [[Minnie Caldwell]], played by [[Margot Bryant]] she made up the formidable trio that held court in the snug of local public house, the ''[[Rovers Return]]''. The verbal interplay between the three epitomised the serial's [[Northern England|North of England]] humanity and yielded some of the 'richest moments' in the programme. The renown of Martha Longhurst became such that Carol's unpublicised visit to the [[Ideal Home Exhibition]] caused a near riot. She was advised to leave the premises for her own safety.((citation needed|date=November 2014))

After only three years in the series, the character of Martha Longhurst was axed by a new producer, who assumed that Carol would be likely to find other acting jobs. Carol was deeply shocked to read in the newspaper that the days of her character were now numbered.<ref>((cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_81vQWGYelwC&q=lynne+carol+actress&pg=PA143|title=The Daily Telegraph Third Book of Obituaries: Entertainers|first=Hugh M.|last=Massingberd|date=12 November 1998|publisher=Pan|isbn=9780330367752|via=Google Books))</ref> Martha died quietly of a heart attack in the snug (one of the three bars in the Rovers, the others being the public and the select) of the public house in May 1964. The subsequent burial took place in the [[Manchester]] General Cemetery where a special grave had been prepared. Carol remained bitter about Martha's death, and believed to the end that a terrible mistake had been made, as her character was so popular. Viewers responded by complaining in their thousands and, later, the writers acknowledged that they had made a mistake.

Carol later appeared in the short-lived BBC serial ''[[The Newcomers (TV series)|The Newcomers]]'', alongside [[Alan Browning]], who later appeared in ''Coronation Street'' as Alan Howard.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.screenonline.org.uk/tv/id/1401049/credits.html|title=BFI Screenonline: Newcomers, The (1965-69) Credits|publisher=BFI Screenonline))</ref> She also appeared in the 1979 film ''[[Yanks]]'' starring [[Richard Gere]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b6955db04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170725020703/http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b6955db04|url-status=dead|archive-date=25 July 2017|title=Yanks (1979)))</ref>

==Personal life==
Carol married Herbert (Bert) Newell Palmer in 1934 in [[Bideford]], [[Devon]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?cite=11NYVR9xhUWpnL8Gls4HcA&scan=1|title=Index entry|accessdate=18 December 2021|work=FreeBMD|publisher=ONS))</ref> Palmer, born 22 April 1900, was a character actor from [[Easingwold]], [[Yorkshire]], who appeared in numerous television roles, including two episodes of ''Coronation Street'' and the pilot episode of its first spin-off, ''[[Pardon the Expression]]''.<ref>General Register Office; United Kingdom; Volume: 40; Page: 0517</ref><ref>((Cite web|title=Bert Palmer|url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0658131/|access-date=2021-12-20|publisher=IMDb))</ref> The couple made their home in [[Blackpool]], had two sons and a daughter, and remained married until Palmer's death on 15 January 1980, at the age of 79. Her eldest son, Michael, was killed in an [[Royal Air Force|R.A.F.]] parachutists' air crash disaster at [[Abingdon-on-Thames|Abingdon]],on 7 July 1965.<ref>((Cite web|title=Lynne Carol|url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0138984/bio|access-date=2021-12-20|publisher=IMDb))</ref>

In April 1990, it was reported that Carol had died in a nursing home in [[Lytham St Annes]], following a hoax telephone call received by Granada Television, while she was visiting her family in [[Düsseldorf]], Germany.<ref name=":0"/>

Carol suffered from [[angina]], being hospitalised in May 1990. She died of a [[Myocardial infarction|heart attack]] in hospital in Blackpool on 30 June 1990, the day after her 76th birthday.<ref>((Cite news|date=1 July 1990|title=Actress dies – Lynne Carol|work=[[Sunday Times]]))</ref>
