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

[WomanStanleyWoman]

Let the 00s begin…

Sorry to hear that Doris that's awful

Who’d have thought watching today’s episode back in 2001 that Fiz would still be around 21 years later?

And as for how things progressed for Peter and Toyah…

Was Frank the security guard at Freshcoes? I can't remember how him and Alma met
Loving Fiz

Yes, Frank was the security man at Freshco.

Just came on to say how awful Peter Barlow is on classic Corrie at the mo. The way he’s treating toyah after her rape is just terrible

I’m betting Dr Ramsden is regretting moving onto the street…. He can’t even go and get a bun in peace !

Thank you @thenightsky

Jennie McAlpine was fantastic from the get-go, wasn’t she? I also liked the actors who played Chesney and Cilla, who presumably aren’t far off now.

Yes, when he went round banging on the door demanding apologies from her. She never accused him! She made it clear she couldn't remember, but he had to make it all about him.

Anyone else feeling sad for Alms being so happy to start her new life when we know what is going to happen ?

And then Peter and Toyah got together.😮

I never noticed back in the day, but Peter is another one who had a complete character change.

Have just caught up with loads of episodes I think the rape story line was acted brilliantly, I was even touched by Les,s scenes
Where they trying to make the public believe it was the creepy taxi driver who was the rapist?

Future John Stape making a show. The actor not the character

I know ! Recognised him straight away !

And seeing David cry 😭
Such good acting

Really good acting from Sue Nicholls today, I shed a tear along with her at the Dr's today. 😥

Absolutely 😢 We don’t see such strong friendships in Corrie anymore, which is a real shame.

I think Alma is definitely one of the characters I’ve valued more second time around.

Aren’t Sue Nichols and Amanda Barrie outstanding. Brilliant, nuanced acting.

This is the storyline that leads to the introduction of Richard Hillman. Time is marching on!

During the time period we're watching how many nights would Corrie have been on TV?

Was it four? I'm trying to work out how many weeks it takes from Alma's diagnosis until she leaves.

Yes four I think ,not many week ,s I think sadly .

Mondays episode is number 5038 and Alma dies in ep 5058 so probably two weeks.
The acting from Sue Nichols and Amanda Barrie has been amazing throughout this story line.

Loved the drag night, the guys from the garage and Norris stole the show!

Can someone please tell me I’m not going mad and that they also heard a snippet of the Crossroads: King’s Oak theme tune at the end of yesterday’s episode over the Granada logo?!

Just caught up on the drag night - I really thought Norris was going to dress up as Rita!
really missed a trick there! Would’ve been hilarious
