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Place your bets for how many years out of date the storylines in the title will be by the end of the thread… 😁

One thing I notice about Classic vs modern (apart from how much better the show was back then) is the length of the dialogue between characters, proper conversations you don’t get that now at all, it made me laugh today when Sally gave Kevin her monalogue about the garage and Oakhill, went on for ages!

That apostrophe was no error! Naughty Sal 😃

Oh that was heartbreaking 😢😢

Was Emily still in it at this point? She always seemed to be the resident babysitter/childminder

That tiny little coffin.

I am so thankful that I have never experienced the loss of a child. I cannot even begin to empathise - it's just too awful to contemplate.

Bless little David, wanting to carry Billy's coffin 😪

I know not ashamed to admit I was I tears watching it 😥

I think in the end even Gail must have understood how heartbroken Todd was when he said its Daddy here .

I’ve had a stressful day. I’ve put off watching todays episode

Silly question. But how come Blanche, Ken and Deirdre were all leaving the house for the funeral, while Sarah still had time for a bath.

That is an excellent question. I think time works differently there.
I did think that a nice bath would be good for poor Sarah.

I am BAWLING. 😭 when Sarah was saying to Martin about walking her up the aisle and now it’s behind her baby’s coffin.

Maybe the Barlows were going for a drink before funeral?

I was thinking it was the last thing she needed after a c section!

The funeral did make me weep too. How sad. Very few things are sadder than a child's coffin. 😢

I did tink the normally very sensitive and thoughtful Hayley
Was very insensitive trying to compare how she felt when Princess Diana died to how Sarah must be feeling
Sarah's lost her baby!

Yes, what was that about?!

Couldn’t help but lol at Tracy’s ‘cheer up love it might never happen’.

Yes, a proper WTF moment.

I noticed yesterday they are already setting up Charlie’s storyline - he’s come across all charming up to now but at lunch with Shelley he was picking at Bev and going on about how she’s crazy - first attempt at isolating Shelley from her family and friends??

Love Leanne and Janice together

Oh Bev

I don’t know, I did at first think where is Hayley going with this, but then I thought it actually made sense, explaining to Sarah that acknowledging grief via a funeral is a healthy thing and natural thing

Bev chucked all her fag packer rubbish on the floor ! And I can’t get over them smoking in the cafe etc !

I know if seems so strange now people smoking everywhere.

Would Maria really have never seen a picture of Leanne? She was best friends with Toyah/lived with her etc.

what was going on with Leanne’s hair and makeup??!
