Classic Corrie

[Kannet]

Is anyone else watching classic Corrie on itv 3. I’m actually quite enjoying it

I've given up on "new" Corrie since finding "proper" Corrie. Is anyone else surprised at how much goes on off street? In the new ones they hardly ever seem to film away from the set but I suppose that's down to the increase in episodes per week since the 80s. We must be getting near the McDonalds arriving on the street as well as Alma, Raquel and Des Barnes? When did the houses that Mavis and Derek and the Platts live in get built?

I notice the lack of teenagers and young children in “proper “ Corrie. There is Nicky, Sarah Louise, Tracey , Jenny and the lads who deliver the papers and that’s it. Very different from now.

Oh Rita, crying and begging that slimeball Alan to come back, find your dignity woman

Just catching up with yesterday's had to laugh when Rita was begging Alan and said "I've seen the future and it terrifies me". Oh Rita, if only you knew.....

Enjoyed the Christmas episodes. So much to like.
Wow - the Deirdre kidnap was really well done.Very tense. Annoyed that Ken will be able to crow that he was right and Deirdre will feel she has "to get back in her box". Alan Bradley has gone very bad pretending to be Len at the bank . Why is he always chewing and kissing? Liked seeing him dance with Audrey at Mavis and Derek's soiree.

Mavis is so funny , wanting holey cokey (perhaps Huddersfield style) and Derek avoiding and wanting a nice cup of tea. Bet smoking at Emily's Christmas dinner table and Alf boasting how the hotel room will have an ensuite!

hokey cokey

I don't like Emily on the repeats. For such a devout woman she can be quite unpleasant with her pained faces and moaning.

Loved the Christmas dinner scene, Bet: " I have been ravished all morning"

I want to know what Hokey Cokey Huddersfield Style is too

I'm just catching up. Can't believe pc Bellamy works in Manchester lol

I know, how young did he look?

Excellent scene when Deirdre and Bet talked about Deirdre being held in that guys flat. Deirdre's description of the fear and the thought process was eerily accurate and very well put. Loved that scene, loved Bet in it. How frustrating for Deirdre that she can't explain this to Ken because he's too busy being pompous angry to listen.

Ken never seemed very nice to Deirdre. Very condescending all the time.

Anyone else noticed Tracyluv's a completely different child?

With Glo now gone off (presumably to become Jackie Corkhill, I'd love a Brookside repeat run) it can't be that long until Raquel turns up.

I think the new Traceyluv stayed in it until she was about 20, although i could be wrong.

Tracey the future murderer reading a Jack the Ripper book

I thought that too DS Ken is vile.
Emily was pretty horrid to Mavis (when she invited Emily for holidays at their proposed new pad). Don Brennan makes my skin crawl. Mark Eden as Alan Bradley is excellent.

I agree chevalier that sense that you are so vunerable and aware you are a woman and what could happen... Take note writers - you don't have to have a violent rape to make your character feel violated.

I also think Gloria left with a whimper. Bit unfair for a long term character

Yes - you'd think Bet would have gone to see Glo, she was her bridesmaid after all. Did Glo stay with the bloke and just found another pub to work in?

I think it would have been nicer if Glo had decided to go back to Canada to work with her rich brother.

I would have liked to see a Gloria wedding and then moving somewhere exciting

I would have liked to see a Gloria wedding and then moving somewhere exciting
She went to Brookside (3 years later), is that more exciting?

Gloria left as the actress was having a baby.

It can't be long until th new houses are built across the street can it. I remember Mavis and Derek bought one

Which house did Mavis & derek buy ?😯
