to have shed a wee tear at Corrie tonight

[MrsMoosickle]

[Chunkamatic]

Me too! YANBU but maybe don't go admitting it to the real world!!!

[GoldenHaze]

Me too! DP gave me a big cuddle and I realised he was wee bit emotional too!!!

[ChippingIn]

Me too :(

I haven't even seen it in ages, but just felt I wanted to see it tonight. I love Jack, he's such a lovely man and such a corner stone of the program.

[GeruptaSingh]

bugger I have missed it

Was it as sad as when Doctor Kate Rowan died in Heartbeat?

[VinegarTits]

yanbu

[pranma]

me too yanbu at all

[MrsMoosickle]

I know. Ahhhh end of an era really. again.

Nice DP GH. My DH talked pish the whole way through it as he didn't know what else to do!

[greaseistheword]

yanbu me too. i havent watched it for a long time but i just had to tonight.

[backwardpossom]

I'm a teary mess!

[5inthebed]

I was fine until Tyrone said "Goodnight Dad"

[MrsMoosickle]

5inthebed - That was the worst bit for me too. Awful.

[pink4ever]

thank god thought it was just me! even worse because they played the song "softly" which we had at my nanas funeral last year so that set me off!

[ProfYaffle]

Vera was waiting for him. She waited.

[OldLadyKnowsNothing]

Was that a fit of the giggles, ProfYaffle?

Haven't watched it yet, it's been recoded and Dh and I will watch in peace later.

[GoldenHaze]

I felt teardul from when Jack was in his backyard, having his last fag. I don't know why. It's not as though I'm a smoker! It just seemed to humble and sad! :(

I wonder if Molly will tell Tyrone the truth about Baby Jack.

[OldLadyKnowsNothing]

Der, recorded. Not doing anything technical.

[MrsMoosickle]

Awwww....Vera waiting.....horrendous. i couldn't swallow the bloody big throat lump.

Not prepared for that at all tonight.

Off to console myself with a Tunnocks Teacake

[GoldenHaze]

Sorry, I meant "tearful"!

[ProfYaffle]

OldLady! The very idea of giggles! I was distraught!

[GoldenHaze]

BTW, I'm very much appreciating the opportunity to chat about Corrie. It's something I'd never do in front of RL friends!

It's the only TV programme that I watch regularly and I have done all my life. My earliest memory is staying up to watch Corrie with my mother, before she wrapped me up warm and took me down the road to the payphone so I could say "Night night" to my father, who had to work away a lot.

Ooo, these nostalgic feelings aren't helping me cope with the death of Jack Duckworth!

[julybutterfly]

I cried too. Was very well done with Vera being there waiting for him

GeruptaSingh Was that the one who died when it was snowing outside?! That was soooo sad! Nearly as said as Shane dying on Home and Away!

[MrsMoosickle]

GH, funny you posted that. I was thinking the same

I do remember my Mum shattering my illusion that Corrie was real, by telling me that the stairs in Gail Platt's house actually went nowhere.

Innocence lost and I've never quite recovered!

[ProfYaffle]

GH and MrsM - me too! My earliest Corrie memory is when a truck crashed into the front of the Rovers and Deidre thought Tracey had been killed because she'd left her outside in her pram.

I remember the publicity when Jack and Vera first moved into the street. Can't quite believe I've watched the whole 30 odd year character arc.

Plus I'm a northerner exiled in Norfolk so it's nostalgia central for me.

I'm indoctrinating introducing dd1 to the lovely family tradition of Corrie watching.

[GoldenHaze]

Do not say that about Gail Platt's house, MrsMoosickle!

Fingers in ears< I can't hear you, I can't hear you!

[GoldenHaze]

ProfYaffle, I'm a Northerner living in Southern, so it's a good bit of nostalgia for me too. Love it!

Good to see you're passing on the family telly traditions! I intend to with DD too!
