Classic Corrie 6! Leanne’s not a hero - she lied; Linda and Alison will be brides; and Martin’s got a bit on the side

Let the 00s begin…

Those two points are, I realise entirely unconnected.

Dev is just loathsome isn't he?

I'd forgotten all about the Freshco hold up!

Dev is already massively over acting. I remembered him being okay for a while - but apparently not.

Bit of trivia for you - David Fleeshman, who played the Superintendent, is the father of Richard Fleeshman, who played Craig Harris.
Richard Fleeshman's mother is Sue Jenkins who played the barmaid Gloria Todd.

Lovely holiday in France. Going to the Eiffel Tower. Maxine looks like she’s going to spend a day in the office !

[SwankyPants]

Bit late to mention it but all the angst of Gail and Martin divorcing, funny to think she's got 3 more marriages ahead of her

I remember that sort of look being very fashionable around the turn of the century. I had a trouser suit that I wore on nights out when I was about 17 😁

Except with the comically tiny backpack!

Corrie hasn’t done a good overseas jolly in years. The last one I remember is Steve and Eileen going to Malta and Steve accidentally snogging a tranny 😁

[GrasssInPocket]

I love how Kirk's first line was commenting to the Duckworths about the idiots who installed the stone cladding on their house!😂

[FeltCarrot]

The Kabin was huge back in 2000!

Deirdre fawning all over Dev is 😱

[thenightsky]

Only one episode today?

[HazelBite]

It was preceeded by the Xmas special of Classic Emmerdale so only a small time slot

[GreenClock]

Good to see that it’s on as normal on Thursday and Friday. No Carry Ons!

[eggandonion]

Its getting near Christmas isnt it, I wonder is there a good Christmas storyline 🤔

[WomanStanleyWoman2]

The live episode is coming up soon 😃

[Dajeeling]

Lines and writing in this are brilliant-
Jack ‘I want a private reg plate with my initials on’.
Vera ‘hey why not mine?’
Jack ‘think about it’
😂😂

modern episodes can’t touch it in my opinion.

[WomanStanleyWoman2]

I do wonder if the emergence of Netflix, Amazon Prime, digital channels etc. has affected the standard of writer that soaps can attract. In the 80s and 90s the likes of Kay Mellor, Jimmy McGovern and Sally Wainwright all cut their teeth on Corrie. Nowadays promising young writers probably start off small through a less mainstream channel and get their bigger opportunities that way.

[eggandonion]

Writing is occasionally good now but story lines are decidedly weird.
Im waiting to see if Deirdre continues to treat Dev kindly 😉

[eggandonion]

Lizs wedding suit could do with being a bit more bling.
Our Terry is just terrible.

[BeggyMitchell]

Our Terry's a proper wrong'un. Love how Tyrone is Jack's little back-up.

Ooh Deirdre, you caah (wrong accent I know) cockblocking our Geena !

P.s I did use to be on this thread honestly but had to change e-mail MrFsAunt 😬.

[OnTheBoardwalk]

Been away for 2 weeks and have over 40 episodes of classic Corrie and emmerdale to watch. I'll get through them

its simple scenes like Sarah Lou and Candice turning up their school skirts coming out of the house that make the classics so much better than today’s shows

[FourSeasonsTotalLandscaping]

Jack offering Terry the money for the kidney is ever so sad. What a horrible person Terry was.

[Annamariefl]

As soon as Jack won the money we wondered how soon it was going to be taken from them - would have much preferred for them to enjoy it - I bet Tyrone gives them his £1000 back, I love their relationship.

[BeggyMitchell]

I love their relationship

Me too. It's like everything that they've had to go through with our Terry is balanced out by Tyrone, who's more of a son to them .
