Classic Corrie 3

[Kannet]

Here you go

If you look at the Corrie Wiki, Roy would've been 41 in 1995.

So Roy is supposed to be almost 80 now

No because the episodes are 25 years ago so if he was 41 he'll be 66 now

This is on itvplayer now 👍

The Roy of today is rather different to the Roy at the start. 2020 Roy wondering around with half bottle of whisky? Social awkwardness aside.

Yes ,he's rather creepy in classic corrie .

This often happens though. Sally was a real flighty piece at first!

True Polo ,and Jim whilst he has a,bad temper can be a bit hit out first ask questions later ,genuinely seems to.love his family look how that turns out

I didn't realise Roy was so sinister in the beginning

Roy. Sister?

I thought that @Candodad ,oh Jamie is so funny ,he's a cracking little actor .

Watching Deirdre getting freaked out by Roy, it suddenly occurred to me - he (very briefly) ends up being her son-in-law!

Oh God, yes! Some stories are completely weird.
I quite like some of bets clothes, I'm becoming eccentric in my old age. They are actually aging better than Audrey and Alma type outfits.

Is the house Roy is at now the same house that Feelan was dealing with?

It looks like it, it is gloomy and haunted looking.

The final scenes with Bet and Alec were brilliant. People wax lyrical about how much better the old episodes were, but so much of that is down to nostalgia. These were genuinely fantastically written and acted scenes - no shouting or histrionics required.

Have I missed it, or has it even been mentioned what happened to Vicky’s parents’ house? They’re all talking like she’s worth a fortune after inheriting a quarter of a million, but even in the 90s the house would have been worth at least double that.

Yes I wondered about the house @StillCoughingandLaughing I can only think they had a mortgage pay off debts etc plus ,the school fees at her boarding school wouldn't have been cheap?

Was it Des behind the tedious Derek and Mavis and the gnome saga

Nope...

Is it still a spoiler to reveal the culprit now given it happened 25 years ago?

No don't tell me, I can't remember so am going to be surprised.

I always thought it was des. I'm intrigued

I couldn't remember but had a suspicion. Just googled and I am right!

I have to admit I googled too Lver ,I was so wrong😂

A Dingle as a copper.

I agree that the scenes between Bet and Alec were brilliant - Corrie at its best, so poignant.

He was a pizza delivery guy a while back @Candodad ,I'm sure I spotted a very young Joe wicks( from Eastenders in the cafe earlier ) he was from Bolton so it could of been in the realms of possibility.
