Classic Corrie 5 - Deirdre’s out on bail, Leanne’s annoying Gail and Hayley was born male

[StillCoughingandLaughing]

New thread... really hope the title doesn’t offend anyone! I actually really admire how sensitively the story was handled!

Anyway... Corrie in 1998.

Sounded like Dave to me but yes surely must be Dev.

Dev's first appearance is down as November 1999 - we are now July (?) as they're talking about the eclipse happening in the next couple of weeks.

Blanche

I didn’t watch Blanche early days first time round. I’m looking forward to this

Why is Ken no longer a teacher has he retired already? Did something happen that he can’t live on a pension?

Ken was let go from Weatherfield Comp by that headteacher Mrs Jeffers.I think they had to get rid of a number of teachers for financial reasons so Ken took early retirement.

The nurse asked Jack if he had any grandchildren and he said “Yes, two, Tommy and Brad.” What about Paul Clayton? Just because they don’t see him doesn’t make him any less of a grand child.

Yes I noticed that @FeltCarrot, Maybe he forgot about him temporarily?

Has Paul Clayton been featured in Corrie yet or do they still assume that Terry’s ex (Andrea Clayton) gave him up for adoption?
Or am I completely misremembering the storyline? !

I think Vera hired a private detective a few years ago before our Tommy ,and our Brad were born to track him down ,so I think they Know Andrea kept him ,but they haven't met him

Ah thanks x2boys

Our Terreh!

Feel quite annoyed with Spider doing the deed on the red rev in middle of the day! I know you don’t expect young love to last especially in soaps but she’s only 16 and he must be what mid 20s. I know 20y who many 16 y had much older boyfriends but still feels much creepier now. Especially as know he doesn’t want to know. Still suppose her dad have him in neck lock
Before long.

He said he was 27,I hadn't realised he was that much older than her ..

I was surprised when he said he was 27. I was thinking 23 or 24 at the most.

Oh must missed that! Wonder what present day Toyah would say to a foster child at 16 who slept with a 27y old!

I’ve warmed to Jack as I child he was quite scary and horrible but they are nice couple actual.

They have mellowed a lot over the years tbh

I thought Spider was a uni dropout who’d travelled for a bit and therefore would be about 23 now. I was surprised to hear that he’s 27. I think that Toyah is 17 because she had to repeat her GCSE year. It’s still a large gap though, despite Toyah being quite mature in some ways (I couldn’t see her in a relationship with her contemporary Tyrone, for example). I can understand why Leanne has concerns.

Strange that Terreh didn’t know about the Websters’ divorce and all the scandal with Greg Kelly. Surely Vera would have told him at some point (presumably they speak occasionally on the phone, she obv had his mobile number).

Oh poor Alison, Terry Duckworth is fabulous. My favourite bad boy of the moment. Spider is a bit of a drip just now.
Poor Auntie Em, computers are very difficult. I wonder if she face times on her ipad now.

What the heck!! I was all set for this being she’s pregnant and the baby who died. Is this their attempt at making her “interesting”

I think Kevin was quite sweet, he's right about what he said about Rosie,if something similar happened with her he would Blame himself not the nine year old child .

Hes also looking quite clean, for a change.

Loved the discussion about home delivery from Freshcos.
