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Place your bets for how many years out of date the storylines in the title will be by the end of the thread… 😁

Yes @FlibbertyGibbitt ! I was trying to think where I knew him from
I can't remember this part of the story line though, what year was it ?

I can’t either 🤣 must have been 2001 ish ?

We’re up to 2003 at the moment.

Does anyone know why Craig is lying about being in the school play?

As in why was he pretending to be in it in the first place?

I’ve long since forgotten - but I am enjoying the irony of knowing Richard Fleeshman has gone on to be big in musical theatre. Ditto watching Katie roll her eyes at Tyrone’s attentions knowing that they went on to get married in real life 😄

Yeah same Woman. Anyway he’s just explained it - it was just a way to go out of the house without the parents worrying about him and where’s he going.

How continental of Blanche to invite Tracey for her tea at 8.30 on a Saturday night! 😂

I was thinking that! 8.30!

I wish that Nelson family would disappear. Angela and Craig are reasonable but Tommy is a thuggish type and Katy is too full of herself.

I did like it when Tyrone pointed out to Tommy that he was not the boss. But he then ruined it by slinking off.

I understand completely why the Harrises are overly anxious about their children’s welfare. Someone set their house alight. But Tommy’s boorish behaviour towards Tyrone isn’t acceptable.

I liked that too. Tommy tries to rule Tyrone and others with his aggression. I don't like him at all. I don't really like the family much or their storyline. Although Angela has fitted in quite well with the factory girls.

The Nelson family don’t add anything- forgot about he Windass family who were even worse. Feeling like the best days are over sadly

Me too @Tourist29

I have to agree now that Hilman story has finished. What is coming up that had such a great impact or that was so good?

Not sure there’s anything. Can’t help feeling the best years are done now. Daft things like Tracey and Roy, Martin and Katy. Feels very much like the decent storylines have gone and we’re getting into the “eastenders” type ’storylines if you know what I mean. I might go back and watch all through the 80’s!!

Yes, CS is starting to go downhill. But there are a few bright things on the horizon. I thought that Sally Lindsay and Bill Ward were immense in their storyline which I think is imminent. I won’t say more because I know that some are watching it for the first time.

I’m also looking forward to Tracy’s pregnancy. She was horrific to the Croppers over Patience/Amy. Very good acting from all concerned. Some quality comedy from Blanche, too iirc.

I thought that Helen Flanagan was fab in her goth phase. I think she’s underrated as an actor because her glamour stuff etc took over in later years and that’s how people think of her. I thought she was compelling in the Stape storyline also.

I really laughed at Roy's deadpan "have you thought of getting a dog" to Bev 😁

Loved the drunk women in the pub, singing on the tables.

Vera’s hair disaster is kind of a repeat of the same storyline with Hilda back in the mid-1980s. Hers was red I think. 😁She was going to Dr Lowther’s ruby wedding party with Percy.

What an amazing bit of writing Hayley’s speech to Bev was, and immaculately delivered.

I have a couple of friends with purple hair. Vera was before her time.

No episodes today ?

FeltCarrot I do agree with you about Hailey giving Bev a dressing down in the Rovers. It was delivered with such dignity.
Fed up with with Angela, the aggressive husband and her fleece!

Thats what I came to find out
