Classic Coronation Street

[Orphan_Black]

Nick is bloody awful! He is acting like a child and how he has manipulated Leanne is utterly disgusting.

Les, I got 2 jobs, Toyah replies, yeah shovelling muck all day then playing it at night!!
I was never a fan of Toyah when she first appeared, but really like her now!!

The Hayley/Roy marriage story line shows how well soaps can reflect issues that will in the long term change our society. The characters reflect the fact that the majority of people believe in love and don’t care what package it comes in but there are and always will be bigots like Les Battersby. Corrie needs to get back to that. Really enjoyed the wedding and the fact they managed to include comedy. Clever!

 

[Thelmachops]

This will probably be an unpopular opinion but I really can't stand Les!

 

[Jerry Garcia]

My all time favourite Classic Corrie scene.

Betty Turpin and Bet Lynch are on their way to work.

Betty -"Didn't you have your breakfast?'
Bet - "I did, but I only smoked half of it."

 

[LennyBriscoe]

It’s a minor point…but it’s meant to be Christmas time and Greg is in the Rovers dressed like the man from Del Monte

I had a few episodes to catch up on so my wee observations:

1. Janice, what were you thinking girl?! I would’ve been out the door with Tractor Boy faster than Emily Bishop going up a tree on the Red Rec!

2. Sopheh has gone rogue!! If she was going to lock anyone in a cupboard, she could’ve started with her dad and told him she’d only let him out if he shaved his beard off.

3. Even the back of Mike’s head nuzzling into Linda gave me the heave.

4. Whose boss is going to let their staff phone Canada for an hour?!

5. I quite like the wee friendship between Gail and Janice.

i'm still behind , ive got to where Des proposes to Sam , in that episode i saw one of the strangest outfits ive seen, not only for 2021 but even for 1998 , Gary turned up looking like a Russian peasant from the 70s , a Russian furry hat, a yellow jumper and a light blue sleeveless denim jacket that has never been in fashion , for a few minutes it looked like the Rovers was somewhere in communist USSR, even Jim looked him up and down as he said "what about yer Gary"

When Rita confronted Natalie in the back of the Rovers, the episode ended abruptly after Rita said ‘by ‘eck lady…’, I felt there was more to come….

She said: “By hell lady, I’ve met some hard face bitches in my time but you take the bloody gold medal.” ITV3 cut that line out (I presume for the word “bitches”) which is a shame as it’s a great line.

Here’s the original clip

I know Zoe Tattersall is grieving the death of her child but the wig she is wearing after cutting off her hair is dire & doesn't fit properly, you can see her natural hair strands sticking out.

This Deirdre storyline has to be one of the finest of the last 20(ish) years.

 

[LennyBriscoe]

I still hate Les. .but I did enjoy him prouncing "Hospital" as "Hospickle"!

He just shouts all the time! I would’ve decked him too if I was Martin, he’s a horror

 

[Rockin' Robin]

I’m sure Vicky Entwistle and Jane Danson (Leanne) had an argument on Twitter about something Vicky said about Corrie.

ETA article

Corrie's Jane Danson calls Vicky Entwistle's tweets about her storyline 'mean'

Coronation Street star Jane Danson has called her former co-star Vicky Entwistle's tweets 'mean' after she criticised the soap's writing on a recent storyline involving Leanne Battersby

www.mirror.co.uk

Vicky E is right about the quality of the writing, in modern day Corrie.

 

[Maid22]

Roy shouting at Steve today Never knew he had it in him!

Good on Roy!! The actor who plays Roy has won best actor in a soap on TV choice awards, about time too!!!

 

[loolabelle]

I’m still in shock that des was 33

 

[LennyBriscoe]

Good riddance to Greg 'Frank Spencer' Kelly.

Easily one of Corrie's worst villains (as in their portrayal), along with that camp Callum (played by that covid denier Sean Ward) from a couple of years ago.

Both are remembered for the wrong reasons - utter crap.

I didn’t think this recent appearance of Bad Egg Greg showed us Johnny Briggs’ best acting either - he was like something out of Murder She Wrote! Looking at the phone receiver pensively after the call had finished, staring off into yonder at the thought of Alma finding out he’d been doing the horizontal tango with her from Smack the Pony.

The hero we didn’t know we needed in all this Double Denim Kev - even when hoisted up by Mike and Martin, he still gave kicking that front door in a good go. Nobody comes between him and his gerrrrrllls. Except Sally. And Alison. And the garage.

 

[IngressUK]

SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!

 

[Secretadmirer]

I can’t stand modern day Corrie, I don’t watch it but see it on occasions if I’m at my mums or something and always think how terrible it is but classic Corrie I’ve been enjoying

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

Here’s some screenshots of Michael Crawford’s appearance in yesterday’s 1st episode. He casually walks in and orders a pint

 

[Cupid_Stunt]

Ah so the twins were born by the time that happened! Gaynor Faye must have got a better offer and they just killed her off

More than likely an offer from her mother to appear in one of her shows
