AIBU about Pat Phelan

[TheEdgeOfGlory266]

AIBU to want Pat to die or does Eileen deserve some happiness?
Asking for a friend

• light hearted *

I remember Norris & Mary & also Samir

"That kidney was wasted on you Tracy!!!"

Samir! I remember having a holiday romance during that era and really identifying with Deirdre back then, cringe!

what happened to Samir? Was he killed by the fake air pilot(John?) Or was John later? "Free the Wetherfield one" poor Deirdre.

Poor old Samir was attacked by a gang, the day before he was due to donate a kidney to TracyLuv. Think Jon Lindsay was a couple of years later.

Oh that scene at AA is comedy corrie st it's best. Blanche

Blanche was a legend ^^

Thanks spiteful I knew he had died but couldn't remember how.

Extra episodes... 🎉

Hopefully it makes up for the ones I lose because of football 😭😭

I really shouldn't be reading this on my commute! 🤣

Corrie always had ballsy strong women and battleaxes. Where are they now? I think they see Michelle as one but I can't abide her. They seem to keep bringing in a lot of good looking men and women in the younger contingent and waste the older actors (the ones that actually have proper acting chops).

It was very sad when Anne Kirkbride died because she and the writers were definitely turning Deirdre into her mother's daughter and she'd have been the next Blanche. When Eileen Derbyshire left the cobbles were left without its formidable moral compass in Emily although at least Roy is still around to fill a bit of that gap. Barbara Knox and Malcolm Hebden have been underused for years although I gather both Rita and Norris have actually have a storyline each at the moment.

Fred Elliot was a legend too!

I said Fred Elliott was a legend

Agree they're bringing in younger attractive actors who IMO can't act as well as the older ones of the past. They all seem a bit samey. Maybe Sally could be a battleaxe, she's still a bit young for that role though.

I wish they'd kept Karen and the other one Steve married after her, kylie's sister? And kylie. I loved kylie.

Becki! She was a great character and Kylie was good too, a good egg despite her hardness.

I can't bear Pat!! Although the actor is great. I want him to be found out. He's a real Jekyll & Hyde though.?

Yes becki!! Thank you. My head was telling me Kelly but I knew that wasn't right. She was fab. Steve is a bastard for how he treated her. He treats all his partners really badly.

Both actors who played Karen and Becky have gone on to have great acting careers, so I'm sure they're very thankful they left in time!

Samir! I remember having a holiday romance during that era and really identifying with Deirdre back then, cringe!

That's pure gold.

I can't believe I confessed that!!

Yep Steve is a total bastard, he tries to be funny and he's a mummy's boy.

That's true clawdy!!

"This room smells like an anchovy's jockstrap"!
I remember roaring at that at the time, but had forgotten it.

I also remember Elsie Tanner (who'd been round the block a few times herself, so she'd know) chiding Bet Lynch over a one night stand with a very dodgy bloke because, "he's the type of man who'd shout "Get up them stairs" in a bungalow".

Corrie has had many classics... do you remember Reg Holdsworth and the waterbed?
