Classic Corrie part two

I'll join please even though I've got loads of episodes to catch up on. I love reading about it all.

Thanks Kannet.

Thanks

Liz has definitely had a nose job since those early episodes.
Thanks for new thread Kannet

So Wendy is having g a quiet lunch on her own and ken pops in. Why is she dressed to the nines and why is he wearing a suit!!!

I couldn't help but cry at the scene with Deirdre sobbing on the sofa.
I want to punch Ken, expecting his wife to stay strong while he gets it out of his system.
I love the scenes between Bet and Alec, they play every emotion so well. I got a real pang when Bet said to Betty about if she'd managed to give Alec a daughter.

It's all starting to get a bit dreary and depressing. Definitely a change in tone. Thank God for Bet.

I have just watched the first episode of eastenders. I can't believe how gritty it is in comparison.

I think that why people found it a shock at the time, now all the soaps are trying to out do each other on the shock front, which doesn’t allow create good television imho. There is enough shock horror in real life.

Really enjoying seeing young Liz! One of my favourites

Just started a classic Eastenders thread but no idea how to link it using the app

carrie agree her nose is completely different now.
Xmas episode was brilliant love Deirdre and her reaction.

MrsSteve I’ve dug my old Coronation street book out in your honour!

That's fantastic

what is it with Steve McDonald? He is just a thin, pasty faced young boy, I don't get it?

Steve was a very pretty boy.

Oh I miss Blanche. Mind when she turned up to AA with Peter and he says "Do you wonder why I drink?"

I wonder if one of you classic Corrie watchers can help me with one of my most vivid childhood memories now the McDonald's have turned up.

I used to watch Corrie with my mum all the time and I remember one episode when Steve and Andy had started a pirate radio show and phoned the Kabin to tell Rita to
turn on the radio when they did an advertisement for the shop and a customer looked disgusted and walked out.

I've no idea why this always sticks in my head but I can see the scene as clear as day and would love to rewatch it to see how much I do actually remember acuratly and how much I've made up over the years.

Has this scene or anything close to it been shown!

This scene hasn’t been shown, the MacDonald’s have only just arrived.

More Sydney Youngblood today Sit and Wait was playing in the cafe.

Why’s bet covering her lovely hair with that awful wig?

I thought that too! And surely Rita must be wearing a wig.
