This is a place for discussing the classic episodes of Coronation Street. One of the most gripping storylines in the show's history is currently being shown - Jon Lindsay and Deirdre Rachid. I missed it when it was originally shown. It is really well written, and totally compelling.

Lovely. Thank you Rockin Robin
Ooh thanks for doing this thread! I’m loving classic Corrie right now, it’s better than the current one. I remember watching the Deirdre/Jon storyline when is was on and I’m loving it as much this time around, he was a bugger
. Love it x
Yay thanks for this! I’m loving it - so much better than modern Corrie.
Yay! I prefer Classic to Modern too, I record it every a day and catch up on an evening. I was 15/16 when the current episodes were first shown and I remember them well. Loving the Dierdre SL!
Hooray a classic corrie thread , I just need to catch up, Percy has just announced he is leaving where I've got to 
You are a bit behind then, he's been gone a few weeks nowHooray a classic corrie thread , I just need to catch up, Percy has just announced he is leaving where I've got to
I find it sad that you can see how unwell the actor who plays Alf is..since he came back from a break, he is a shadow of his former self..
I thought this too, he's very gaunt and has a pale/yellowish complexion in current episodes. Poor guy. Just looks so poorly.
Love how Audrey and Gail have barely changed though.
I am absolutely loving these episodes currently
Les is an absolute horror
Ashley is far too nice for Corrie

Glad there’s a thread for this, I’ve been watching CC for a few months now and it is miles better than current corrie
He did one of my favourite scenes ever, I didnt remember it from first time, but watching CC I saw one of the best things ever.
It was the scene where Audrey drags Alf to the club , with Mike and who he was with I think , but the best part was Alf being fed up in one scene , and then at the end of the night he is on the dance floor, his hair is floppy and he is dancing with two women
I loved it, cheers me up whenever I think of it
Sad to see him towards the end of his time on corrie
fantastic character, one of my all time favourites
Thanks for setting up this page especially as we are in the midst of one of Corrie’s most iconic and memorable storylines
I have a gif of that, but cant seem to post it here!He did one of my favourite scenes ever, I didnt remember it from first time, but watching CC I saw one of the best things ever.

When I watched these episodes as a kid I thought Alf was boring but it's only when I watch them again through adult eyes I realised what a brilliantly natural actor he was. In fact, a lot of the characters I disliked them, I like now, such as Liz, Mike and Gail. And ones I liked, like Fiona, Steve and Vera i can't bear!He did one of my favourite scenes ever, I didnt remember it from first time, but watching CC I saw one of the best things ever.

yes exactly the same, Percy used to annoy me, but watching now i'm older i can see the fact he was meant to be the character who would annoy people, now made me laugh a lot, he always would have a line before he left the pub that would leave the person banging their heads against a brick wall
The main one though was Bet , when i was younger i just did not like her at all, watching it back i'm so glad to see the pure class behind Julie Goodyears portrayal of her, just the heartbeat of the Rovers, the way she would tell Jack off , but then go into a serious scene with someone in the bar was a treat , Alec being back is excellent, but nothing will ever match those two behind the bar, it didnt bother me when she left the first time , i was absolutely gutted in CC time
PMSL
its his hair and cheeky smile , he always liked it slicked back and neat the fact it was a bit floppy summed up everything, he is pissed and he doesnt care and he is having a dance Audrey looked annoyed at him, yet she was trying to get him to dance,poor Alf could never win
Alec must be one of my all time favourites... Again, another I didn't "get" at the time. I love his conniving, scheming ways and how he almost never gets away with it!yes exactly the same, Percy used to annoy me, but watching now i'm older i can see the fact he was meant to be the character who would annoy people, now made me laugh a lot, he always would have a line before he left the pub that would leave the person banging their heads against a brick wall

I'm so enjoying classic Corrie! I'd only have been little when the current episodes were being shown.
The storylines are great and the acting is of such a higher standard compared to today's Corrie. Poor Deirdre's wobby lip as she was being read the charges!
