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

Anyway... Corrie in 1998.

Just catching up on Xmas day , so Xmas has always been depressing lol

I’m sure that photo collage is still in Rovers on the wall!

x2boys · 13/01/2022 21:35

I think Corrie had a far better millennium than I did ,as I recall most of the local pubs and clubs closed as nobody wanted to pay their ridiculous prices ,I went to my sister's house party,she was all loved up and had just moved in with her boyfriend ( they are now divorced) I got to drunk early on and fell asleep for about 10.30 pm and woke up for the fireworks thinking is this it !
Apparently my dh who I haven't met by then also had a shot millennium 🤣

@Iwantacampervan

Sarah Lou wearing a dress with 'Baby' on the front (dressed as Baby Spice I assume)- the signals were there! I didn't see these episodes the first time - busy with my 2 month old.
I had a 2 month old too!

Definitely better than my millennium: getting trampled by the masses down near the Dome to see the fireworks, having an argument with my bf and losing my shoes.

WomanStanleyWoman · 14/01/2022 13:46

I got lost near Trafalgar Square and ended up spending midnight on my own! Sad I feel your pain!

I was in my neighbours house, his mil was there,nobody knew what to do at midnight so he said the Lord's Prayer.

Am loving today's episode. Raquel returning with her news for Curly. I have found it well acted and very moving.

Yes it was very good made me cry .
eggandonion · 14/01/2022 15:48

Ohhh poor Curly, I'd love him to return.

FeltCarrot · 14/01/2022 16:01

Are we supposed to believe that Sarah Lou is pregnant with Bethany now? Alison said something like it had taken her 3 months to get over Kevin, so she must be at least 3 months pregnant and don’t they both end up giving birth at the same time?

x2boys · 14/01/2022 16:15

Sarah and Gail find out in February that she is five months pregnant, neither the viewers or Sarah know yet ,but she must be three and half months at this point

FeltCarrot · 14/01/2022 19:08

We have only really seen Sarah acting up in the last couple of months since Candice came on the scene, no mention of boys before her.

FeltCarrot · 14/01/2022 19:15

And as I’m a few days behind I was shocked at the factory girls stripping poor Mark to his underwear! 😲

Yes but tbf old head Sarah-Lou couldn't act her way out of a paper bag which is why she only got the odd line ,said very unconvincingly

I did shed a tear too. Scenes like that never happen nowadays.

I've caught up with this episode - very well done and definitely emotional. I then watched tonight's offering and thought that not many of the cast of 2022 could carry it off.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 14/01/2022 22:35

I had a 2 month old too!
I had my DS who was 3 weeks old (and DH and I had given up on the memory that was sleep !)

I'm watching the Millenium episodes now , Jez Quigley is trying to co-erce Leanne into letting him rob the Rovers .
Martin is like a dog on heat Hmm

They all look so young
Tyrone
Kevin
Steve
Gail is quite feisty not like now she's so dumbed down
I'm loving Ashley's new wallpaper (green) and Natalies terracotta aztec print in the Rovers (ver' ver' 90s . In the Minellium it was silver/blue/lilac )

Feel really old now Xmas Grin

Guacamole001 · 15/01/2022 10:21

Kevin has not aged well at all over the years lol. Today he looks a real wreck!

CounsellorTroi · 16/01/2022 12:22

Everyone female has their hair short or bobbed, apart from Linda. Not like the ubiquitous long hair of today.

It was fantastic. Really reminded me of why I used to love Corrie so much.

We could well've crossed paths WSW as we walked one of us barefoot back to Maida Vale.

How did you lose your shoes?
Akire · 16/01/2022 14:51

Not watched it with Raquel in so not sure what she was like. Thought so mean say you have 2.5y old. What was backstory at the time? Funny how mobiles just started and camera just being a thing. Hence carrying photographs around. Oh how times have changed.
