Classic Corrie - 2003 begins! Maxine’s met a sticky end, but dear old Emily’s on the mend, and Maria’s betrayed her dearest friend

[WomanStanleyWoman2]

Place your bets for how many years out of date the storylines in the title will be by the end of the thread… 😁

Agree with all of this.
Plus, Katie’s hair? Maybe I have a short memory but was that style fashionable 20 years ago? I dont remember anyone having hair quite like that. It looks really awful

Toyah ended up a local uni, but chucked in her course to accompany Spider to that London. Presumably she resumed her studies later to qualify as a counsellor.

Curlys wife

I think Martin is supposed to be 34/35 as me and DH fell over laughing at how silly that seems as he looks a lot older!
Nevertheless it is a very hard storyline to watch!! I didn't know that about the actor objecting over it but it doesn't surprise me.

I'm still a few behind but this whole Tracy and Roy thing is also making me so uncomfortable. I sense it is going to get a lot worse!

I think this too! And hope she gets caught for what she did to Les.

I wasn’t watching at this time but always thought Martin was the good guy even after his affair with Rebecca.

i did the first time round but this time I thought he behaved terribly with Rebecca and Gail and then Sally etc. The first time I watched him with Katie I would have been 23 and I thought it was a bit wrong. Now I’m 43 I think it’s horrible.

Martin actor is 38 at this time. And agree Katie’s hair is awful!

Martin should think about how he would feel if Sarah was sleeping with Tommy!!

Tracey is also a horrible awful person. The things she is saying to Hayley!

I know I watched that one last night! She was horrid to poor Hayley!

That was just a vile onslaught. I did give a small cheer when Hayley dumped the contents of the ice bucket over her!

Thanks , no tv at the moment and did think that was a bit of a leap

Wow... Katie's new hair cut looks like it was done in lockdown 🤣

Why is Tracy so absolutely horrible and vile to Hayley? She's actually horrible and vile to everybody. Including her mother. Where did Deirdre, Ray, and Ken go wrong to produce such a vile putrid toxic article as Tracy? I mean I think she's OK now, (20 years on,) but she really only mellowed, about ten years after she had Amy.

Also agree Katie's hairstyle is absolutely shite. 😆 I was laughing at how awful it looked. Looks like it was cut in the dark. I am still loathing the storyline of her and Martin. It's making my toes curl and making me cringe. He looks like a man old enough to be her dad ...

I also strongly dislike Emma (Curly's wife.) I did think she was alright for a while, but she's such a smug judgmental snarky bint. I can't stand her now. I dislike Curly too just lately. They can both get in the bin now!

Also, I had to laugh at Deirdre coming back from the hairdressers, and her hair looked exactly the same! But also, that dress she had (for the wedding,) was hanging up. How did Adam get shoe polish on it when it was hanging on a door? Basically, how did Adam manage to get shoe polish on it 5 feet up in the air?

Finally, when Shelley was upset this afternoon, after Bev (her mother) said Peter was having an affair, her eyes looked like she had been peeling onions!

Christ Peter was an emotionally abusive gaslighting arsehole

Dont like Keith Duffys character either Complete mysogynist

@JenniferBooth I agree. Peter is absolutely vile. Blaming Shelly, (for the wedding being called off, like it nearly was,) because HE had a fling with another woman. HE is acting the victim because she was saying she wasn't going to marry him! 'Oh poor me what about meeeeeeeeeee Shelley?! You can't do this to meeeeeeeeeee Shelley!!!'

And yes to Kieran (Keith Duffy's character) being a massive misogynist. Saying what a trap marriage is for men, and how women are the only ones to benefit from it, and men are railroaded into it etc. Cheeky arsehole. That's such outdated, sexist bullshit! No-one forces any man to get married. Yet they do. I wonder why, when marriage is such a gloomy existence for them?!

This outdated and ridiculous MYTH is ludicrous!!! That men are downtrodden, and henpecked, and nagged, and bullied by their wives (who FORCED them into marriage!) Whilst for the women, it's a massive life achievement, and having a husband is something they need to aim towards.

SEXIST BULLSHIT!!!

@WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps YES and its women who get the raw deal from marriage not men. Mens lives barely change at all. You only have to read the threads on here where men get to carry on with their hobbies while the OP is ALWAYS default childcare.

Thought Sunita looked incredible. Way too good for him

Agree on all counts! I hate this idea (from some, like Kieran) that it's only women who want marriage. Bullshit. Hardly any men would get married if that were the case!

i seem to remember a survey being done about who is the happiest and it was
1 Single women
2 married men
3 married women

It's true ! I was no.3, now no.1 and wonder why on earth i was ever afraid of it, its's brilliant !

Why are Peter and Shelley still renting the builder’s yard flat when they are living in the Rovers?

And they had an empty flat about the bookies!

Peter is just the worst isn’t he. Why do women keep marrying him?? Some of them twice!

I'm really upset for Roy 😢😢 this is a really hard storyline to watch!
