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

Place your bets for how many years out of date the storylines in the title will be by the end of the thread… 😁

Oh and how could I forget!!

The Jason and Gail moment was HILARIOUS!

I don’t think Karl should have told Katy that. It’s like he really wants to ruin Todd and Sarah’s relationship when Todd is still confused about everything

UGH that bloke talking to Fred in the pub

Who is that bloke? He looks so familiar.

Fred’s friend? I think he becomes Laurels father in Emmerdale

I used to know someone who had a ‘Thai bride’. She was even called Lily. He was quite creepy.

He's Duncan Preston who was in a lot of Victoria Wood's programmes - Acorn Antiques & Dinner Ladies.

I'm so annoyed! I've fallen way behind with classic corrie (I've just watched Kieran's stag do) but I was gradually catching up and I've only just realised my sky box stopped recording it nearly a month ago. I've downloaded all the episodes I can but some of them will definitely expire before I get to them. I'm really hoping I won't miss anything too interesting 🤞

@MaePedwarGolau I think you have no choice but to have a classic corrie marathon.

I think you might be right! That's it, no housework for at least a week 😂

So is Fred’s friend and his wife doing a scam then?

Yes I agree @MaePedwarGolau you need a marathon! I have found the past two months or so of classic Corrie to be so good! Really enjoyed it. So definitely try and binge it if you can

I thought the lady on the market stall was a different woman to Lily, his wife.

Definitely a scam building up. And Karl is slimey.

Oh was she? Maybe she was

Thai bride storyline is grim. Don’t remember it at all from first time round. I think I was only half watching but I remember Sarah and Todd and the fallout from his affair.

Yes it’s Grim! Fred wanting young and pretty but not wanting old fat and bald like him! Awful!

that whole idea turns by stomach. Old men buying young women and trying to convince themselves and other people it’s something more. Gross.

Or any men! Not just old men obvs.

Karl and Todd are horrible. Whatever about the affair itself, they’re being so gleeful about tricking Sarah. Laughing at her basically. Ugh.

Eek has Sophie got a new head?

In case of confusion was BeggyMitchell

I had the same kitten T-shirt as Katie! I also had one the same as a Maxine staple. Shame on me. Is anyone else a bit grossed out at Shelley going on a date with a man that slept with her mum and really hurt her?

Sophie was great casting because Brooke looks like Michael Le Vell I think.

Was something up with Helen Worth in 2004? I’m really surprised that we didn’t see her reaction to Nick’s proposal. And the scenes between Sarah and Audrey in the cafe and the flat seem like they were written for Sarah and Gail, with Sue Nichols having to step in last minute to cover the “Gail” role. Just a feeling I have!

Yep. Brooke Vincent was in it yesterday actually.
