New to the thread.

Totally agree it’s been abysmal recently. Can anyone remind me why Eileen and Gail hate each other?

Where are you all watching classic Corrie? Would love to watch from the start.

Did the Gail/Eileen feud start when Todd got Sarah up the duff then went gay?

What Todd and Sarah had a baby??

They had a baby boy called Billy, who died. Very sad, and very well done, as I remember.

Yes the had a little boy who died called billy.

Heard of Billy not that Todd was father. I will have start watching old Corrie!

Oh I didn’t realise the feud went back that far! Thanks

Gail and Eileen fall out over men, historically and comedically. Like Les Dennis and Trouser Smell.

Classic Corrie is on one of those drama channels on Freeview during the day / evening.

I still think the Geoff death will / marriage / probate situation is bloody ridiculous.

@TheLaughingGenome

I still think the Geoff death will / marriage / probate situation is bloody ridiculous.

There’s absolutely no sense to it so I’ve given up trying to work out how it’s going to go. They just make it up according to whatever way they want the story to go.

Geoff must have been living some where for the last 30y first. Yasmin house was already paid off so he must have more than just Yasmins share.

It's as if the current writers are all too young to have ever gone through or heard of the probate process or other legal processes around death and marriage ... they can't all be, surely??

It is utterly bewildering how the Geoff death story is being mis handled, and another insult to all the viewers who have had to live in the real and difficult world this past year.

I agree with pp that the clever writers of the past could have found a wonderful balance between the challenge and the gentle comedy of current life.

But they have failed.

Go on youtube , they don't have all the full episodes but it's much better than watching today's farce They start from the first episode aired Enjoy!

Youd think Ken or someone would know a bit about wills and stuff even if writers don't.
I watch classic corrie on itv3,and then have to turn off or my dh watches midsummer murders instead of working.

ITV player hub also have the classic Corrie episodes available.

But only for the last few weeks or so.

How far back are they at the moment?

I think they’re about 1998/99 at the minute.

Oh great I missed about 10y from 2000 onwards. Thanks for tip will start watching.

Yeah, I watch Classic Corrie on Catch up (Virgin) but it's on every day - two episodes in the afternoons on ITV 3. About 1997/8 at the mo - it's so good (compared to current Corrie).

I absolutely love classic Corrie, Nick and Leanne have just started going out!

Please could someone explain Trouser Smell to me? I've seen it referenced a few times on here!

Johnny Briggs RIP. I rather fancied him in Corrie.

Farewell Mike Baldwin. You were a great character.
