Classic Corrie part two

[Kannet]

Last thread is nearly full.

And yes, in case any of you were wondering, the wardrobe man was gay!

He said he loved buying outfits for Alma and Bet. Going shopping in Manchester with Amanda Barrie and Julie Goodyear, with an unlimited budget from Granada, was the best fun ever!

Can you imagine?

That must have been a fab job ,not so much when buying for Jack and Vera Dickson h though ,I get that was all market stuff and charity shops?

I am quite liking Bet's clothes this time around, I think that I would wear some of them

Oh my goodness, my dream job!

I’ve decided to have bottles of spirits on the top shelf and matching glasses on the bottom. I just need to find a kitsch ice bucket now!

Tracy must start going through her alternative dress phase soon,? I used to frequent the same pubs and clubs as the actress that played Tracy (in classic corrie,not up-to-date corrie) and she used to dress how she dressed on screen dress,s and Doc Martin boots etc .

Loved the exchange between Bet and Alec last night when he accepted some of the responsibility for what Des the decorator did.

Yes, the Bet and Alec exchange was excellently played. If they had to redo that scene again today, there'd be loads of screaming, shouting and immediate leaving of marriage via slammed doors. Then one of them would set fire to the pub.

Just wondering. How is des so flash with cash. He works in a bookies.

Well, Stephs dad gave them the house so I assume he doesn’t have a mortgage but did Steph just give Des her share?

They bought it for cost from him so assume they would still have small
Mortgage.

Oh did they, I must have missed that! If he’s the manager of the bookies he will presumably be on more than the Duckworths for example hence why he splashes the cash?

He’s also getting £20 plus other benefits from Raquel now

Am I the only one who doesn't like Raquel?

Actually I like her more this time around you can see what a good actress she is .

I didn't like Racquel first time round at all

In fact I didn't like Sarah Lancashire as an actress until I saw her in Happy Valley, which showed me just how good she is

I'm enjoying Racquel now

Yes, Steph relinquished everything when she left Des.

She was just so desperate to get out of the marriage.

I warmed to Steph, I’m kind of missing her now!

Sarah Lancashire was amazing in Last Tango I thought.

I'm
Weeks behind. Alex has just left. Guessing he was leaving to do panto :)

DixieLandReject My MIL has a drinks trolley!
I found the scene where Sally cries when she sees the photo of Katie so moving.

I’m unsure whether it’s going to make my brand new kitchen extension look tacky but I think it’s worth it

I hope drinks trolleys make a come back!

In fact they have made a comeback! I’ve just seen some on the Next website !

I ❤❤❤ Phyllis!

She reminds me of my lovely Grandma.

Phyllis is hilarious! Raquel reminds me of myself

I love Phyllis too. I cannot remember how she ended up being played out though. Hope she didn't die.

I'd like to see Percy finally realise she is the woman for him and them both to skip off into the sunset together.

I think they ended up in sheltered accommodation with Maud Grimshaw?

They do.
