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!

CARLA!

Sounding far more refined than nowadays. She's not got the nasal tones to her voice. And no strong Manchester accent.

I haven't watched this afternoon's yet. Does she say 'factreh' in 2006? Grin

I've figured out why Becky's accent/way of speaking is bugging me. It's nothing to do with the 'old Yorkshire accent.' I think for me, it's because when she was in it previously - when she worked in the factreh and set up Kelly for a fall, she didn't speak like that then. Why is she speaking like that now?

I'm also willing to bet that in about 4-6 months time, (maybe less,) that she's not speaking like that anymore.

I’ve just watched the one where Danny walks in on Frankie and Jamie. Such good acting. I just can’t even imagine how much of a headf*ck that would be for him.

TennisWithDeborah · 26/06/2025 22:33

They acted that brilliantly, Bradley, Rupert and Debra. Losses to the show, definitely.

Eileen helped the Peacocks when Clurr was ill and they are also colleagues at Streetcars. I’m surprised that Hayley wasn’t asked though, that seems unusually tone deaf of them.

John Savident said the odd “yer sen” as Fred. John is from Guernsey but was brought up in Lancashire so it seems odd.

x2boys · 27/06/2025 20:10

Can anyone explain what exactly is Traceys motive ?
I know how long the story line ends ,but I can't work out what she hopes to going from. it ,everybody already knows Charlie is a nasty piece of work .

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 27/06/2025 20:43

i think she’s trying to set Charlie up as an abuser so he’ll get sent to prison? Revenge for his affair. But can’t remember really.

SabreIsMyFave · 28/06/2025 11:00

The scenes with the actors who play Jamie, Frankie, and Danny were good and it will be a shame to let them go, but I am confused about Danny just giving everything to Jamie and walking off into the dark of the night.

He left him his villa, house, flat, car, the business, all his wordly goods etc, on (seemingly) an old store receipt. They would need solicitors and all sorts, and it would take several weeks to go through. He can't just scribble 'have everything' on a receipt, and then walk away. And where's Danny gone? He has no money, car, clothes, place to stay. Where is he?

And yes, Tracy is setting Charlie up. She's trying to make people believe she is being abused by him.

Yes I understand that but I don't understand why,people already think Charlie is nasty and abusive, so what she have to gain?

Hmmm good point. Maybe she just wants to make sure that people hear him attacking and abusing her.

TennisWithDeborah · 28/06/2025 16:44

I suppose Tracy wants to ensure that there are specific examples when she eventually reports him for abuse. So, Claire can say that she pretended to be ill on a particular day in order to appease Charlie, lending credibility.

UrsulasHerbBag · 30/06/2025 10:31

Tracy knows what she is going to do, her revenge is all planned, she needs Clur as a witness that she was being abused and the abuse and control was ramping up. I don’t want to say too much because I know a few of us won’t know how it plays out.
Danny, Frankie and Jamie played those scenes brilliantly and were a definite loss to the street, although Jamie does come back in a while.

FlibbertyGibbitt · 01/07/2025 16:42

What’s going on with Sean’s tie being around his neck inside his shirt ? I seriously cannot remember this fashion whatsoever! Looks awful 🤣

Middlemarch123 · 02/07/2025 18:28

Tracy is brilliant at the moment isn’t she? Charlie is a monster, but what a brilliant actor too. Those were the days.

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 02/07/2025 19:04

She’s great. She’s a terrible person but Charlie is worse so totally on her side !

Tourist29 · 02/07/2025 19:53

Typical of narcissist Tracey to use Clare in her game when Clare has just been in hospital and lost Fred.

SabreIsMyFave · 02/07/2025 21:36

TracyLuv is unhinged! Shock Burning herself with the iron to pretend Charlie did it!

Poor Violet, pregnant by Jamie. And LOL at Liz thinking it was Michelle!

Yes! I couldn't watch that bit and what does she think this is all doing to AmyLuv ?
Brilliant acting though.

Isn’t AmyLuv camped out with Ken and Deirdre due to the trauma Tracy is suffering? Or she’s upstairs listening to her tapes?

Most of time she's either with Ken and Dreary, or being baby sat by various neighbours, Steve still seems a loving but largely absent father to Amyluv

OnTheBoardwalk · 02/07/2025 22:45

@x2boys like AmyLuv i was obviousness (is that a word) to what was going on at this build up to what was going to happen but am loving it

UrsulasHerbBag · 04/07/2025 13:54

What happened to Bills wife? Wasn’t it Sherri Houston who was supposed to have married Fred?

She's in Germany oblivious but she does return....

SabreIsMyFave · 04/07/2025 21:48

Audreh and Bill are such skanks playing around when he is married! 😖

And Cilla pretending she has the Big C, and hasn't had the all clear! Shock A storyline in current Corrie is running parallel to this! Kev is pretending to Abi that he has not had the all clear, so she doesn't leave him. Cilla appears to be doing it out of revenge for Les doing the dirty with Yana!

Nearly Christmas! 🎄(In Classic Corrie obvs!)

Yeah just when I thought cilla had a heart she does this to our Ches I mean fine punish Les for cheating but to make your 12 year old son think his mam is dying is awful.
