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!

@x2boys

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.

I thought that too. Horrible thing to do to Ches, AND Fizz. Dreadful woman!

I’m loving the Christmas lights that are multi coloured, majority are white / blue now !

When did the smoking ban come in ?
Someone was smoking in the rovers the other day
I'm enjoying current epusides too my oldest son was born on boxing day 2006 so i was very heavily pregnant at the time .

JewelleryCat · 05/07/2025 09:43

Apparently the smoking ban came into force in England in July 2007 so it’ll be soon in Corrie I think

thecatdidit · 06/07/2025 07:31

I've just watched the baptism of Eileen and this was in a Catholic service..she couldn't just be baptized there. She'd need godparents, too even as an adult. Plus she'd have needed to practice the faith and have been confirmed.
Should've just been a Protestant baptism.

SabreIsMyFave · 07/07/2025 19:51

I wonder how Sophie is finding out all this stuff about people? (She's pretending she is psychic!)

Cat is out of the bag now with Jamie and Frankie good and proper! Danny's mum knows now!

Cilla is really milking her (fake) cancer diagnosis! Shock

TracyLuv still reeling Claire in with her lies!

Claire was dressed like Ena Sharples today! A 20-something young woman dressed like/looking like an 80 year old (in the 1960s!)

Janice is a really horrible cow. What has Frankie ever done to her?

Less than a week til Christmas! 🎄 (It will be over by the end of this week on Classic Corrie!)

New Year/New Years Eve will probably be next week. 🔔

I watched the Christmas episode already as it’s on ITVX, and think I know how Sophie has managed to find all the info ( won’t give the game away !!!)

I keep looking at Frankie’s pregnant tummy ! And yes what had Claire put on her head ? Can’t remember that fashion 🤣

Clare reminded me of the Victoria wood character in a beret https://images.app.goo.gl/6nPUP8yAeyF57DHU7

Thank you for not telling us the spoiler. I know this is not a spoiler free thread, but I like not knowing. 😆 We'll find out soon anyway! 😃

I must be blind because I never noticed Frankies pregnant tummy lol. I’ve not seen these episodes but I’m guessing someone must be telling Sophie all these things so we shall see if I’m right. Oh I do like seeing that Santa in the Kabin window lol

OnTheBoardwalk · 07/07/2025 21:17

Re smoking ban, yes seems really strange seeing Liz smoking in the pub

ah I miss those days of going to a gig and coming out with cig burns on your favourite top - not!

Kimberley?

HurdyGurdy19 · 08/07/2025 07:14

Yes, Kimberley.

She's really really tall 😁

Oh how we miss the fabulous Victoria Wood 😢

thenightsky · 08/07/2025 09:23

And really really wide. Grin

thecatdidit · 08/07/2025 14:44

I had a sudden recall of Sophie Webster, my memory is not that good so I wonder if it's a true recall or not? Only time will tell, if I had a diary would I look back at it?

HurdyGurdy19 · 08/07/2025 16:44

Ohhhhhh, David. Is this where Devil David really ramps up? Will Gail be taking a trip soon?

Tourist29 · 08/07/2025 20:34

I doubt it happens but I would have liked some background on Charlie to see what made him like he is. I remember him defending Roy When a customer was abusing him but apart from that he’s one dimensional and has no redeeming features.

He also.saved sunita,from the fire and seems to care about Jason they do that Corrie ,even our Terrah,Duckworth occasionally did a bit of good ,it's good to see characters not completely one Dimensional.

OnTheBoardwalk · 08/07/2025 22:08

I remember him sticking up for Roy for no reason for it and he does seem to care about Jason

i suppose this is what makes them seem as 'good guys' to the outside world

Bill Webster has been a right git
