Classic Corrie 4

[KANNET]

New thread :)

Fiona has some lovely clothes. Maxine and Ashley are sweet together.

I loved the jungle-type print dress she had on yesterday.

Angie does a very good Des impression

There's a good group of twenty somethings just then. I'm not liking Judy though.

Go away Judy, leave Zoe alone. Poor Maud. What miserable people today.

Apart from Leanne she cheered me up with her Spice girls rendition.

Yh she made me laugh, made up for topless Les yesterday 🙈

I could have done without Audrey lusting over topless Les. I know Alf was no prize in that department, but come on Audrey!

I know ,bloody Les!

I'm gradually falling out of love with Classic Corrie.

People are suddenly so argumentative, or just being unnecessarily rude to each other.

Some characters seem to have had personality transplants, and the plotlines are becoming ever more ridiculous.

I remember now why I stopped watching in the late 90s.

It just such a shame.

Yes it's a shame they can stick to normal storylines that everyone enjoys rather than unrealistic sensational storylines

Can,t *

I'm finding that I'm fast forwarding more and more these days. Cant stand watching anything to do with the Battersbys

Yes! Me too with the fast-forwarding.

Maud would never have been so nasty about Sally.

I bet a lot of the cast members hated having to say their lines.

Brian Park has a lot to answer for, in my opinion.

Just because EastEnders was abrasive and shouty - it shouldn't have meant that Corrie had to go the same way.

I'll never forgive him!

I thought that too about Maud. She was always really wise and kind under the abrasive veneer. It was out of character.

I can't stand the Battersbys.
Percy will leave soon and will be missed.

I'm in for the Weatherfield One storyline, but may stop watching soon after that.

I also fast forward through the Battersbys, I don't think it's been the same since Bet left.
Classic Emmerdale has gone the same way, it's all plotting and silly kid stuff. And the way the set has changed really annoys me

I'm waiting for sally to take revenge on Natalie, in case I have false memories of that.

I can’t remember any revenge beside the slap.
I don’t think I can really remember Kevin living at Natalie’s either.
I’m fast forwarding much more now too. I like sally/Kevin storyline and Fiona wedding but not much else at the mo

Aside from the upcoming Deidre storyline, I am looking forward to Fiona's wedding and Jim McDonald's memorable "I love you Fie-owner"

I'm just getting caught up and I totally agree how out of character she was with Sally. I seem to remember dipping in and out at this point in the late 90s, it wasn't the "must see" that it had been for the decade prior.

Audrey’s gossiping is coming across as a bit malicious at the moment too. She was always a gossip, but they’re portraying her as a deliberate stirrer at the moment.

She's bored, so stirs things up. My mother in law loves that.

Was this the era when pigging was first used as a swear word.
Wee Des, all loved up

The quality has declined. It’s noticeable. Maud’s spite towards Sally, Audrey’s malice - so unrealistic. The Battersbys have no nuance at the moment but I think they improve iirc.

Fred Elliot is always good value, Alec too.

Jack’s attitude to Vera is dismissive and unpleasant. I’m uncomfortable watching it.

There had been a big push to move away from ‘Cosy Corrie’ and I think the writers were struggling to adapt. Although Toyah naming her dogs - particularly her ‘bull mah-stiff’ - was a great moment

The till is down £4.99!!!!! Deirdre, that man is a wrong'un. That Natalie is a nasty piece of work.
