My old lady told me about this this afternoon. As a big Corner Gas fan this saddens me.

R.I.P. Janet

Really sad, huge Corner Gas fan

 

[Voight]

She always made me laugh, especially when her and Brents dad were bickering.

 

[Soundgarden]

I loved her in that show. R.I.P.

 

[End on a Hinote]

I always considered Janet Wright and Eric Peterson to be one of the best casting choices I've ever seen on TV. Amazing chemistry between the two and they look like they could actually have been Brent's parents. Sad loss.

Sad to hear this. She was great as Emma Leroy. Her and Oscar certainly made that show. RIP Janet.

 

[Tuggy]

Rip. Big fan of the show.

I could tell she was not doing too well when I watched the Corner Gas movie. I don't believe I saw her standing at all in the movie, and she looked quite sick in her face.

RIP

Only thing I know her from is American Gothic and it was not good at all from what I recall watching movie back in 90's on VHS

RIP

My mom noticed the same thing. We managed to get her name in the credits on that movie - I think this will make the credits mean even more to her now.

A definitely loss, she was a great actress.

If you want a laugh, watch parts 2 and 3 from the episode on the original post. It was really good! I've never watched the show even though I'm Canadian but I'm going to check out more episodes on you tube.
