Classic Corrie Thread. Now in September 2004.

Continuing from the last thread when 2003 begins! Doesn't time fly in Classic Corrie? The last thread was started 10 months ago, and we have powered through a year and 8 months in that time (20 months.) Wonder where we will be by the end of this one? (If it does eventually come to an end?) Grin

Karen (McDonald) has been stressing about the death of her mum - and trying to be a better person, Martin and Katie are still together, (though Katie's dad Tommy is unimpressed by it,) Kelly Crabtree has just come in, Cilla abandoned Chesney to go on holiday with Les, Sunita and Dev are together at last, and Maya is about to go on a rampage after appearing to forge Sunita's signature for something.

Also, Sean has just come in and started living with Eileen (still is I think!) Jason and Todd are still in it, and Danny Baldwin and his wife Frankie are in charge of Underworld now, with Daniel's 'Uncle Mike' taking lots more time off. Oh, and Danny's son Jamie has just arrived, followed by Frankie and Danny's son Warren...

Charlie the builder is dating Shelly the barmaid, and Sally has just recently started turning into a snob. Jack (Duckworth) was dressed as Ida Fagg posing as a woman for the bowls team, and Norris, Blanche, and Emily have been playing poker!

Roy and Hayley are still together, Ciaran the handsome Irish barman is trying to start up his own business with Penny King, Steve seems to be warming to his little daughter (baby Amy,) and at the moment, there doesn't seem to be much drama with Gail and Audrey's family, or the Barlows, or the Websters, or with Fred and Ashley. Ashley and Clare are dating, but it's still a bit up in the air.

Hope I haven't missed much out, but that covers most stuff going on right now I think. Let's see how much has changed by the end of this thread. Smile

Makes modern day Corrie's characters look so flat and bland doesn't he? I hated the bullying of Roy scenes. They were very hard to watch.

Yes they were horrible .

eggandonion · 20/06/2024 22:46

Charlie is brilliant at manipulation. Poor Shelley.
Betty can see through him.

I dont watch modern corrie
But irl people can be so complex. It's great they are showing the different sides to charlie and it shows why people can be oblivious to abusive behaviour

I love the idea of having Christmassy food whilst watching Classic Corrie Christmas eps! 🌲 ⛄️

Actually, maybe the Christmas 2005 scenes will be aired this December.

I remember how kind Terry Duckworth often was to Hilda. There was scene where they were messing around ballroom dancing at a party in someone’s house. He was also genuinely in love in the late 1980s with that woman who was hitched to the character who was played by Ian Mercer before he got his main role as Gary Mallett.

Charlie risked his life for Sunita and is a good employer to Jason. As @x2boys says, people are complex irl and Classic Corrie writers grasped that.

I’m planning to watch

Allthehorsesintheworld · 24/06/2024 15:11

Sally’s boss is a scum bag. Surely she’d contact ACAS or a solicitor, not accept his crap? I’d wreck him.

JewelleryCat · 24/06/2024 15:58

Anyone else’s telly going in and out with the signal because of the weather? Was doing it to me all throughout the second Classic Corrie and now Morse

JenniferBooth · 24/06/2024 16:03

A scientist at the Uni of Salzburg has worked out what Mozart would have looked like and Corrie fans on TwitterX are delighted. 😃

😂 separated at birth!

Fergie51 · 24/06/2024 19:15

Even though I love Classic Corrie, Katie and her dreadful parents drive me to distraction.

RedYellowPinkGreenPurpleOrangeBlue · 24/06/2024 19:18

I loathe that car salesman bloke more than I can put into words! Angry

Shame on Sally though for doing it with him! Hmm

Allthehorsesintheworld · 24/06/2024 19:26

I agree @RedYellowPinkGreenPurpleOrangeBlue ive missed a few episodes and thought he was sacking her bc she wouldn’t have sex with him, then they’re at each other like rabbits 🤷‍♀️ but he’s pretty 🤢

JenniferBooth · 24/06/2024 19:30

Its Alistair from As Time Goes By

I knew I knew him from somewhere!!

Allthehorsesintheworld · 24/06/2024 19:48

I meant he’s pretty grim, sickening. Thought I’d seen him in something else but couldn’t think what.

Oh yeah I see what you meant now. You meant pretty revolting, with the <sick emoji> Sorry @Allthehorsesintheworld I misunderstood! (Daft I am sometimes!)

Mrspatmoresspoon · 24/06/2024 19:59

And when are sally and Kevin going to get their house decorated?! It’s got to be months since the corner shop was on fire. It’s driving me mad

OCaledonia · 25/06/2024 16:51

I was wondering about that, too. The fire damage would be covered under their insurance, they could have all fresh decor.

footgoldcycle · 26/06/2024 13:44

Just catching up. The character of Charlie was so well written. He's stands up when he sees someone bullying Roy, but he's bullying Shelly at home

eggandonion · 26/06/2024 14:26

Street angel house devil.

And if it wasn’t you’d be prioritising that over going on hols (with your ill gotten affair with your boss gains)

Charlie ripping the earrings out! Shock That turned my stomach.
