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Place your bets for how many years out of date the storylines in the title will be by the end of the thread… 😁

I'd completely forgotten that Charlie showed us his true colours so early on. I remember it as being a very slow burner.

I don't really understand why Shelley is so mad at Bev. I mean, Bev was with Charlie first and it was pretty insensitive of Shelley to even go there.

Yes it's a bit grim
I couldn't imagine being interested in someone who had slept with my own mother!

If I was Shelley I'd have the massive ick and wouldn't be able to look at Charlie, never mind sleep with him. I'd have a picture in my head of my mum and him.... urgh

Jack in orange lycra!

I love when Rita calls people Lady.
Cilla is wonderfully awful as is Karen.

So im confused Martin and David went on holiday to Wales last week
A couple of days ago Rita said she paid David to Deliver Sally,s leaflets ,which evidently he didn't
And Martin and David returned from Wales today Did David sneak back from Wales not to deliver Sally,s leaflets 🤔
Also I used to work for the NHS Martins suspension would have lasted months IRL and he would of most likely Been dismissed for gross mis conduct

This is Corrie you're talking about 😂 Since when did they follow rl protocols in stories

Don't even start me with the inaccuracies in most scenes involving Weather fields only police officer PC Craig

Very true I don't watch modern corrie
But can imagine Craig is always on duty when ever a copper is needed
Much like Martin Platt ran Weatherfield General single handedly 🤣🤣

How ominous does this sound?

Yes, ominous. I don’t know anyone who watches CS now. I’m not exaggerating.

Early naughties and earlier, I knew a lot who did.

It can’t just be because of the proliferation of channels/streaming services now. The quality of the show must play a part.

I haven't watched it for years the odd time it's on ,and i have caught a bit it's just appaling imo.

Oooohhh Norman Wisdom trotting past.
I have no recollection of the fountain or Bradley or Frankie....

Was there only one episode today?

No there were two episodes.😊

I missed one too ,I usually watch it later on ITV X and there appears to be only one on there I'm recording tomorrow's repeat

Superannuated Sex and The City 😂😂😂

Great line @CorporaINobbyNobbs 😁

ITVx didn't put yesterday's second episode up. Can anyone fill me in?

Brilliant line
i can’t imagine anyone wanting to watch current Corrie shows in 20 years time, and i can't think of one memorable line or scene from recent episodes
i enjoy Classic so much more than the boring current storylines and actors

It's characters like Blanche, and Norris that bring much needed humour
I love Blanche and her sardonic one liners

I was thinking before Leanne even said anything ‘wait have they all slept with each other at this table??’

Maria is a terrible drunk actress

I’m looking forward to seeing if councillor Crawshaw is related to Mrs Crawshaw of current Corrie !

CyanCrystalViolet I’ve forgotten what happened already 😂 more Leanne taunting Maria and flirting with Nick, more fighting about the fountain. Sarah found out Katie knew about Todd and Karl and is annoyed with Martin and Gail for not telling here that Katie knew before her.
