Classic Corrie part two

[Kannet]

Last thread is nearly full.

Yes i thought tjhe same @kannet it surprised me roo i thought there was more of an awareness towards DV in the 90,s , on a side note a young Jenny was very pretty wasent she?

Alec Gilroy described Jenny as "an English rose, from an indifferent summer" in the episodes from a few years back

I love Vera's facial expressions. When Regards was saying he'd offer Kimberley some counselling, Vera's face was hilarious.

Corrie still can do quality humour, but it's only when you watch these Classic episodes that you realise it's become very thin on the ground.

Reg , not Regards.

The scene between Reg and Kimberly in his office yesterday was v funny. The actress was trying hard not to laugh. I suspect she needed a couple of takes.

Corrie always has the best humour. I remember ref and Maureen and Maureen's mother. Comedy gold

I've struggled to like Kimberley - she's had about as much character as a wet lettuce leaf. UNTIL NOW!!!

I really like Kimberley when she's affronted and cross. It's really funny and I suspect the actress would be fantastic at comedy.

I wonder what happened to her after Corrie. I don't think I've seen her in anything else.

She had quite a long running part in Hollyoaks , she had teenage kids and tjan twins wirh Darren Osbourne!

And having just googled her she lives very close to me.

Thanks for that AamdC. I only used to watch Hollyoaks when Brendan was in it. I fancied the pants off him!

Hooray! Raquel must be very imminent now!

She rocks up at Bettabuys (which was really an actual Morrisons!) on January 23rd 1991.

Kimberley must get her transfer, which means the wonderful Raquel can make her entrance.

I'm looking forward to the next few months, because I didn't really appreciate Corrie the first time round - but I can see now how brilliant it was

Didn't she come in as miss Bettabuys for the trolley dash

I think you are right, Kannet. As I say, my memory of it all first time round is a bit sketchy.

Can't wait for Raquel! I loved her with the Gilroys in particular.

Vicky must be imminent too.

I'm deliberately not googling any of it, so I can just enjoy the stories unfolding as they come

I only googled Raquel to check when she arrived!

I thought i recognised the bettabuys layout its the same morrisons i used to do my shopping at when i was a student, they usef to serll an own brand of vodka called Morrinov 😂

Did you make Morrinov Cocktails?

That vodka name is hilarious, and yet it does actually sound authentically Russian, in a weird kind of way

Des/Racquel/Tanya

Just had a glimpse of Raquel at the meat counter!

I seem to remember that Jim MacDonald always called her Rackle.

Or have I just dreamed that up

I dont recall a Morrinov. Cocktail TheEfficientBaxter i was a student though my tastes were not that refined more cheap and scheeful

Cheerful*

I actually felt a flutter of excitement when I spotted her lol

Wonder if Sarah Lancashire could even suspect back then what a great career she had in front of her.

i bet no one is more pleased these are being repeated than the guy who played Reg Holdsworth.

Raquel has arrived! Remember the scene when she is practicing her French with Ken?
