CLASSIC CORRIE THREAD. Now in June 2006.

Well here we are, a new thread a full year (almost) after the last one. Almost 2 years have passed (in Classic Corrie) since the start of the last thread (we were at September 2004, and it's now June 2006.)

So we have Keith still in it, about to be booted out of his house, after trying to get one over on Charlie Stubbs, who bought the house Keith is living in and gave him notice to move out. (And Keith and Audrey are finished now.)

Steve's girlfriend Ronnie appears to trying to set Steve up for the hit and run that she did in a Streetcars taxi.

Lloyd - Steve's new Streetcars partner has been dating Kelly Crabtree, who has recently been set up for a theft she didn't do by street newcomer Becky. In a drunken stupor, Kelly slept with Steve!

Janice is back (much to Cilla's disgust!)

Leanne and Danny have just got engaged. (Though Danny clearly is still in love with his ex wife Frankie...) Frankie has gone off to Spain leaving Nathan (her new fella) moping around without her. Les adopting Chesney has recently been approved.

Dev's 'long lost' daughter Amber has just moved in with him in his flat. And Dev is making the house he bought for him and Sunita, nice, in the hope that she will return soon with the baby twins (Asha and Aadi.)

Poor Ashley is fighting in court to keep his own son, after the 'bio father' (Matt) turned up trying to make a claim on him FOUR years after his birth, and after FOUR years of having nothing to do with him, (he wants him now because his new wife can't have children!) Ashley's wife Claire is quite heavily pregnant.

Sean has just recently met his dad, who was very cold and had a very unwelcoming wife when he went to see him. His dad came to Coronation Street shortly after to see Sean, but bottled out very quickly and drove off before Sean could see him. Sean prays he comes back.

We still have Blanche in it, being her nosey intrusive self, and also the equally nosey and intrusive Norris. Rita got caught in Norris's wardrobe recently after he had brought a woman home who he'd met in a lonely hearts club. That only lasted 5 minutes though after Norris decided he is better off alone!

Not much going on with the Barlows at the moment, apart from Tracey using everyone she can to look after Amy so she doesn't have to! And Gail is resuming normality as much as possible, after discovering that her son David was the one sending greetings cards signed 'Richard Hillman' for the past few months. David's punishment is to work at Audrey's salon. (Must be how he started working with hair!'

Sarah and Jason are due to be married, and Sarah is super excited about it. Jason, not so much. Sally and Kevin finally accepted the relationship with their daughter Rosie and her boyfriend Craig (the goth.) After many MANY months of resistance, and Rosie becoming a goth too. Rosie and Craig have recently de-gothed themselves though!

Oh, and we recently lost long-standing character Mike Baldwin who died of a massive heart attack. (April 2006.) Sad

I'm sure I've missed bits out, but I think these are the main bits for now. Grin

Let's see where it's all at when this thread finishes!

Yeah it's the house charlie bought and kicked Craig and his Grandad out of
I think Blanche is still renting to Frankie isn't she?

Aha yes of course. I remember now. Thank you @x2boys Smile

I have to agree though Bill Ward is a superb actor he's almost pyschopathetic in his portrayel of Charlie
But can come across as being incredibly charming
I think Jack P shepherd's also a very good actor.

As despicable as charlie is ,why on earth did Tracy think she had any right to
his house?

Yes it's completely bonkers that Tracy thought she'd kick Charlie out.

Mrsplants · 16/06/2025 07:19

I think Jack looks good for 70!

Mrsplants · 16/06/2025 07:20

I know the whole Jamie and Frankie storyline is really awkward and cringey… but is it me or have they suddenly made Jamie’s acting really weird and creepy 😂

I agree he's like a stalker always staring at Frankie

JewelleryCat · 16/06/2025 09:40

I’m also finding Jamie really creepy

SabreIsMyFave · 16/06/2025 20:23

Yes, Jamie is weird and creepy now. And I can't fathom for the life of me why he suddenly fancies Frankie. I mean she's really pretty, and not much older than him, but she's his stepmum (since he was 7) and he has never looked at her 'that way' before. (AFAIK.) Why is he obsessed with her now?

Also, what's going on with Tracy? She was acting weirdly around Clurr.

I wish Bev would sod off LOL.

Is Tracyluv getting on Claire's good side. Trying to make out she's friendly, and then going to turn on her. Just for kicks, as seems to be Tracyluv's way? It was very out of character for her to be friendly in any way to anyone, let alone someone like Claire.

I think it's more gearing up to the big story line and TracyLuv making out she was abused by charlie and she wants to get clur on her side that she was being abused
Notice she told Clur, she would come round for the washing so charlie wouldn't think she was completely hopeless ?

Agree and Frankie too yes the age gap isn't massive but she got with his dad when Jamie was seven, seven year olds still sometimes need support with personal care and she would have washed his clothes and fed him etc all very icky .

eggandonion · 17/06/2025 15:22

Lots of drama today.

I seem to remember rumours at the time and a couple of actors leaving (I won’t say who) and some of the stories do seem wedged in and unconvincing.

FlibbertyGibbitt · 18/06/2025 18:13

Is Frankie pregnant in real life ? That apron and coat looked tight !

have people not seen these episodes first time round? I’m never sure how much to disclose about upcoming storylines!!

It feels to me like it came out of nowhere! He was in love with Violet one minute and then totally in love with Frankie!

No, I haven’t and I don’t understand why Tracy is being all pally with Claire. I do know what happens to Charlie so I’m guessing this is the build up

I was wondering the same thing.

According to Debra Stephensons Wiki her second child was born in January 2007 so yes

No a lot of people on the chat haven’t seen these episodes first time round. We obviously know some of the big stories but are enjoying seeing the build up to them first time round

SabreIsMyFave · 18/06/2025 22:53

Ewwwww, Jamie and Frankie did the deed. 😖 Made me feel a bit queasy it did. Just nasty!

Deb Stephenson looks very pregnant! They're not doing much to hide it are they? 😆 She looked a good 6 months pregnant today.

Becky's back. She's pretty horrible isn't she?! No redeeming qualities at all! Not even remotely contrite for messing up Kelly's life!

Wonder what's going on with Bill? And why is he CONSTANTLY on the piss?! None stop boozing!

Bev is getting on my nerves now.

What's Cilla doing sending Chesney away from his own home? (Into the cold November weather!)

Not long to Christmas now! (I think it's maybe mid November there now...)

okay I’ll keep my mouth shut in that case! I actually haven’t seen some of these either as I was living in Australia in 2006 but I think I must have started watching again around now.

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 18/06/2025 23:44

I definitely remember Frankie and Jamie storyline (eww) and the Connors showing up.

OnTheBoardwalk · 18/06/2025 23:53

@CorporaINobbyNobbs as you know these were the days when you watched it or you never saw it again till 20 years later 😁

Absolutely! I’ve been in and out so many times now I don’t know where I am 😂. I was amused the other day when Audrey said something about going to see her son Stephen “the good one” 😂😂
