Utterly shocked to learn Kay Mellor has died. She was only 71. What a loss to writing. My sympathies to her loved ones. #KayMellor bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…

‘No woman writer has got through without a struggle and it’s Criminal that I can count on one hand how many women signature writers there are on TV right now. Sometimes it takes a collective to say, 'This is not fair' and it’s not. It’s time things changed.’

Well said #kaymellor twitter.com/chortle/status…

Excited to see fellow Northern Lights Actors Management Neil Hurst interview Rollem Productions ‘s #KayMellor Square Chapel Arts Centre tonight. Research for Lisa Holdsworth brilliant adaptation of Adelle Stripe equally brilliant novel, #blackteethandabrilliantsmile dir. by Kash Arshad & prod by Freedom Studios

Very sad news. She was a good and very popular tv writer. Paul O Grady and I saw her in 'Queen' at the WYP in Leeds and had a drink with her afterwards. Such a talent. Condolences to her loved ones #KayMellor

Band of Gold was the first drama that had me hooked. I was lucky enough to get to work with Kay and watch as she worked her magic. A natural storyteller and a champion of women. She was the best and I’ll miss her dearly. Thoughts go out to Kay’s family, friends, team. #KayMellor

We wrote a show about balls. It never would've happened without the help, guidance and belief of so many incredible women.

Thank you #kaymellor for your support for #1950swomen #waspi in speaking up loudly and clearly at the injustice of the government in changing our state pension by 6 years with no warning. You showed the Tories up for what they are.
