Classic Corrie

[Kannet]

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

"They where happily getting remarried a few months ago (surely less than a year in Corrie time)"

Gail mentioned that the funeral was in the first anniversary of the secind wedding. It was a Christian burial, and Ivy surely could have arranged a separate Requiem, or at least had Mass said for him. But you had two strong characters, during a time of sudden and awful stress, painting themselves into corners and being intransigent.

This, combined with Don's attitude to money and gambling, is the start of a significant hardening of Ivy. Poor thing, really.

Does anyone else find Gails hair really irritating?

Ivy should not be apologising to Gail, it should be the other way round. Yes, Gail is very annoying, not just her hair

Alan is right old creepy lech, urrrrgh.

Alan with the breath spray (shudder) - poor Dawn.

Oh Ivy - I agree Cute Gail should be sorry. It was totally wrong to not have Brian buried by Fr. O'Donovan since he had known the family for many years. Gail is very irritating as is her hair!

I wish I had a childminder and friend extraordinaire like Pauline.

I found it odd that Vera and Jack were not at Brian’s funeral, Vera is always going on about how Ivy is her best mate, but didn’t go to to the funeral of her best mate’s only son!

Good point. Perhaps the actors had leave that week - I don't think Jacko was in the pub either.

Just place making

I missed today's. I absolutely love Classic Corrie.

Sole it'll be repeated at 6.20 if you want to see it!

...6 am and 6.25...

I nearly burnt a hole in my ironing willing Rita to find evidence of Alan's fraud.

Great scene with Rita and Dawn. Rita claiming Dawn fancied Alan (as if?) and to sling her hook and then being pulled up short by the Len Fairclough revelation.

Never thought we'd get to meet DP. I suspected Derek was actually unemployed - hence his reluctance to actually buy a house.

Gail was a bit dismissive of Kev - he's kept the garage going alone and should have been kept in the loop or at least given a bonus. She really is quite arrogant. Still haven't forgiven her for the burial.

RITA !! 😱

I'm just catching up. Gail was so spiteful. Why not do a proper funeral to help her ivy

Eeeh kev and Martin in their suits for Jenny's 18th party 🤣🤣🤣

I thought that Gail treated Ivy very callously. I also felt that she should have discussed the sale of the garage with Kevin before Tom Casey showed up.

The outfits at that 18th! Took me back. I'm just a bit younger than Jenny and was (underage) drinking and clubbing in 1989. It made me very nostalgic.

Mark Eden was brilliant, wasn't he.

Loving Emily's new "romance". And Percy's reaction.

Do Emily and Percy get together? I hope so!

Eeeh the scenes with Alan and rita 🙈🙈🙈

The least Gail could have done was give Kevin first refusal.

I am really not liking Gail and actually feel sorry for Ivy.

I don’t think Kevin wanted the garage, Sally is ambitious for him but he never seems to want more than he’s got.

I’m a year younger than Jenny so the teen fashion has been a total nostalgia fest for me. I bet that birthday party smelled of Anais Anais, hair mousse and Archers peach schnapps.

I'm still catching up, but I did feel sorry for Percy when he realised he wasn't invited to the dinner party.

Mark Eden was terrific - so menacing. Poor Jenny - stomping along the hospital corridor in her electric blue taffeta dress with black velvet bodice - she'd really had a rotten time. It was quite shocking that Bradley was actually trying to kill Rita. (Rita's heavy eye make up disappeared between the house and hospital).

Nice to see Emily have an admirer.

It was really quite upsetting, that scene between Rita and Alan. He really doesn't see he's done anything wrong and actually thinks it's all her fault for finding out

The guy that plays Alan is in real life the husband of the woman that plays Audrey

That must have been odd for him. Did he ever do anything after Corrie or was he too typecast.
