I didn't like the Battersby family first time round, but watching it back now I don't think they are that bad. I think I've been desensitised over the years by some of the more outrageous characters and genuinely bad actors like Cilla and Gemma!
Over the weekend I watched some old, old episodes and the Ogdens were deemed really common when they arrived too.
My favourite Hilda and Stan scene was when they went to a posh hotel for the night and Stan kissed her.. He asks her what that taste was (lipstick) and she says "woman Stanley, woman"!
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."

Awwwww Hayley 
Has the esteemed Hayley arrived??
Oh I hope she has!
I'm a little behind the rest of you, rapidly fast forwarding due to constant Mallet irritation

For me, Hailey is up there with the best characters
Everything about the staircase being removed from the rovers storyline today made me laugh, Vera & Jack were brilliant 
Brilliant pair of episodes yesterday! The staircase saga was hilarious, something that the current writers just couldn't replicate today! I loved how Alec refused to pay up as they weren't his stairs but then said he had right of access once Jack and Vera had stumped up the cash! The Hayley scenes were sweet but excruciating at the same time. I'd forgotten how shy she was and felt so sorry for her when Audrey sent her packing. I also really liked the Nick and Leanne story, though I think you wouldn't recognise either of the characters in modern corrie as being the same. I've never believed in their relationship at all, they have no chemistry now, but back then they were a good match.
Vera shouting out the window to Jim & Gary they’re barred
Jack taking extra bread up the ladder to butter for the sandwiches Vera taking the ladder so Jack had to stay downstairs so we’ll written & the acting spot on 
It had amazing pathos in them days the whole show was like the best sitcom drama rolled in one . EastEnders was never good at humour it outlived it's early promise pretty much within the first 15 years .
Oh my god got got is Nick thou I seen his nipple in the Scottish scene I nearly had kittens
Nick is like a wet blanket. What Leanne sees in him I’ll never know
ive only just got to the wedding , where jim gatecrashes it to announce him and fiona slept together, what a baffling storyline, ive never seen the point in it tbh, i dont believe she would sleep with jim , and i dont really see fiona and Alan as a couple, all they seem to have done is argue from the first week. I'm in a position of ff most scenes, i cant stand deidre and john, natalie and kevin is annoying and fiona and alan is boring , i'm just glad there is Alec acting like he owns the Rovers 
and Fred bouncing back to want to buy the shop
and Fred bouncing back to want to buy the shopMy fast forwards are :
The dullard Des Barnes,
Hamster faced Kevin Webster,
Gormless pushover "ow-er Ash-laaaay"
The mind numbing Malletts.
I'm just about to watch the woodworm stairs saga you all enjoyed earlier, I just love a good Jack and Vera storyline!

I watched The Syndicate the other night and Judy Mallet is now running a newsagents. Same character different name.
Just a heads up.
Weekdays at 6:00am & 6:25am ITV3 usually repeat the previous weekday afternoon’s Classic Corrie (CC) episodes.
Of course they are not showing CC in the afternoon over Easter (Good Friday & Easter Monday) so naturally you would assume that there will be no ‘repeats’ on Monday & Tuesday morning.
However they are still showing 4 ‘new’ episodes on Monday & Tuesday morning, the same episodes that would have been shown in those previous afternoon slots. Don’t be surprised if you usually watch in the afternoons and tune in on Tuesday afternoon thinking they have skipped 4 episodes
The same is also happening with Classic Emmerdale

Thanks @Cupid_Stunt I’ve given up on today’s Corrie so I’m disappointed that Classic Corrie has been put on the back burner for a few days
She gets that gig, cos her mother wrote it and is the executive director.
Yes I gathered. Nice work if you can get it. Especially as she’s playing the same character. I half expected her to yell Gareh or Keteh any minute
