Nice to see Spider, I was waiting for him. I wonder if the Shannon/Katy story would be done today. I don't remember it being controversial at the time.

If you changed one of the letters on Ashley’s van reg, it would read mince, that’s like a personalised plate for a butcher 😂

I was surprised by Spider. His acting was a bit wooden and not like I remembered him, guessing he will grow into the role. By the way I have been reading this thread for ages and decided to open an account to become a part of it. With so much wrong with the current world, both you people and the show is a great source of joy to me Flowers

Hello.

Just catching up and got very excited that Liz's boss is Billy Boswell from Bread!

x2boys · 13/03/2021 15:21

Ha ha I noticed Billy Boswell! I don't think he was in much else ?

Ida thinking she’d had a thing with that guy who’d have been about 6 in 1961 😂

Can’t get over Kevin’s hypocrisy.

eggandonion · 15/03/2021 17:46

I wonder if Toyah found out if Spider had any other piercings?

hippychick11 · 15/03/2021 23:12

Just started watching this again today after ages. I think it's back in 1997. It's when Ashley first meets Zoe. I always loved Ashley in it, he was such a sweet and genuine guy

justthecat · 16/03/2021 15:51

Thankgod that’s the end of the turkey storyline

x2boys · 16/03/2021 19:59

Why do Deirdre and John still drink in the Rovers if they live in Hale Barns ?

justthecat · 16/03/2021 21:01

I thought that, why go to a back street pub when you’ve got a fancy house

StillCoughingandLaughing · 16/03/2021 23:16

I remember Friday’s episode (the one-hour special where Kevin left Natalie) so well. My mom had gone on her Christmas ‘girls night out’ and I’d taped it for her. I was so excited to tell her how good it was when she came back! I sat and watched it again with her the minute she got in Grin

Manzanilla55 · 19/03/2021 05:10

I agree as somebody said further up the thread there is so much wrong with society at the moment it is great to sit down and be able to watch Classic Corrie from a different era.

StillCoughingandLaughing · 19/03/2021 07:32

I’m enjoying that Spider has given Emily a new direction. She’d drifted into chasing annoyed-looking people for raffle ticket money and saying very little beyond ‘Mr Sugden, please!’ with a frustrated eye roll.

StillCoughingandLaughing · 19/03/2021 12:28

Ooh, Deborah ‘Angie’ McAndrew was in The Mirror today Smile She’s hardly changed!

She hasn't has she! She must have a self portrait in the attic 🤣

WheresThatCatGoneNow · 19/03/2021 13:12

I feel sorry for Natalie, although she seemed to bounce back very quickly after Kevin's rejection.

I really like her character, and the fun way she takes control of every situation.

I'm glad she's going to be around for a while yet!

I can't remember watching very often in 1997/1998, so not too sure of her storyline - but does anyone else get the feeling that she might be pregnant? 🤔🙄

justthecat · 19/03/2021 13:24

I’ve seen a clip of her pregnant but I don’t think it’s kevins ...

WheresThatCatGoneNow · 19/03/2021 13:39

It's always baffled me how narrow Coronation Street appears to be!

If there were two cars parked directly opposite each other, on both sides of the street, there wouldn't be enough room for another car to drive between them.

And where do they all park anyway?

Let's imagine it's a Sunday afternoon, and everyone is at home.

On the terraced side, Ken, Emily, Les, Curly, and the Websters all have cars.

On the other side, Ashley's got the butchers van, and Des has his Alfa Romeo.

Where are they all?

I imagine Jack and Vera park their Sierra found the corner in Rosamund Street, and Martin parks in the space in front of the garage attached to their house, outside their front door.

And, speaking of Gail and Martin - they're supposedly a two car family. He had that silver Mazda, but then he bought that navy blue Escort off Curly 'for Gail'! What's happened to that, I wonder?

I've never seen Gail behind the wheel of a car - EVER! 🤔

Doesn't really add up, does it?

WheresThatCatGoneNow · 19/03/2021 13:58

In every terraced street I've ever known, everybody wants to park their car in front of their house - or at least a couple of doors down, where they can see it from their window!

If somebody comes home late, and there are no spaces left, they have to park around the corner, or in the next street.

But you can bet they're up at the front window every time they hear an engine start up, in case someone is going out.

And then they grab their car keys, to nip out and move their car into the vacant space!

I've seen this happen so many times!

It's just how it is, living in a terraced street with no off-street parking.

x2boys · 19/03/2021 14:07

They probably all park in their magic garages that appear as and when needed ,just like their magic extra rooms .

StillCoughingandLaughing · 19/03/2021 15:29

I don’t think tie shop girl has done her GDPR training!

WheresThatCatGoneNow · 19/03/2021 20:45

It was quite funny seeing how censorious Ken was about Spider's cannabis fags, compared with how laid-back Emily was!

I could really do with a cannabis fag right now!

Anyone admitting to feeling the same?

WheresThatCatGoneNow · 20/03/2021 20:49

Deirdre did well getting a taxi at short notice like that on New Years Eve!! 🤔
