CLASSIC CORRIE THREAD. Now in June 2006.

993 replies

SabreIsMyFave · 26/03/2025 13:51

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!

Oh, is that not allowed then? (Switching the legal aid to a solicitor of choice?) As I say, I know nowt about this kind of thing. 😆

Well as I said the person close to me was allowed too but legal aid hadn't been granted at that point, the preferred solicitor then applied for it ,do I don't know maybe it was becsuse legal aid had already Been granted to the first solicitor?

thecatdidit · 14/08/2025 08:45

Right I've watched very closely and yes definitely the stairs have been moved in Ashley and Claire's house and the living area opened up into the kitchen. It now conforms to Sally and Kevin's layout when they moved in per previous posters comments.

Danny had a refurb and it suddenly gained an upstairs as well as a much bigger factory o must be like the Tardis?

thenightsky · 14/08/2025 18:17

The David and Tracy storyline is making me feel nauseous.

eggandonion · 14/08/2025 18:22

I don't remember this. I remember Charlie being bashed. But not David. Or Sonny. I must edit things out of my memory.
I remember the Polish lady in the factory.

I remember bits but my now nearly 19 year old son was only a couple of months old at this point so I was in a new baby bubble.

Ah ha thanks Smile

@thenightsky · Today 18:17

Yeah, it is a bit gross isn't it? Not least because TracyLuv is 30 and David is 16. He looks like a boy in his mid teens too. VOM! 😖

@eggandonion · Today 18:22

Yeah, same here. I don't remember TracyLuv and David's shenanigans/David lying for her, I don't remember Sonny, but I do (vaguely) remember the Polish lady (Wiki - pronounced 'Vicky.')

Thankyou I thought it had changed!

OnTheBoardwalk · 14/08/2025 21:18

I only noticed the stair move as they spent so long redirecting and made it look more tatty after they had finished

should have waited till they did major re work on the house so they didn’t have to redecorate again

HurdyGurdy19 · 15/08/2025 05:05

I remember the David/Tracyluv storyline, and it's just as uncomfortable to watch now, as it was then. I did laugh at David turning up with chips for Tracy, thinking she might be hungry 😂

No recollection of Sonny at all .

I remember Wiki, and I think there was some kind of tragic outcome for her?

Ridiculous to suddenly have some major structural changes to Ashley and Claire's house, with no reference made to it.

I wonder why they changed it?

Looking forward to seeing the new occupants of Charlie's house. I don't remember any of the family's storylines though 😅. Is this chippy the same one Dev now owns in Corrie? Or is it the one Cilla and Yana work in? Or is it a third chippy?

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 15/08/2025 13:47

oh is this Sinbad from Brookside moving in? I think I must have been only half watching at this point cos I remember David and Tracey (ewww) but not Sonny or what happens with the Sinbads.

Weirdly I had a very clear memory of that scene with Michelle in the red dress but nothing before or after!!!

FlibbertyGibbitt · 15/08/2025 16:05

I have just realised that Ryan from today’s Corrie was Michelle’s son from Classic Corrie !

Yes I googled, I don’t think I watched it back in the day !

OnTheBoardwalk · 15/08/2025 19:28

ah so it is Ryan. How come Carla is so close to him?

She has him sleeping on her sofa, in her new house etc and he's not even a blood relative and doesn't seem particularly close to him, saying that neither does Paul

Ryan is Carla's nephew. Smile Carla was married to Paul Connor who was Michelle Connor's brother. Michelle is Ryan's mum of course. I forgot how pretty Kym Marsh/Michelle is! 😍 I mean, I knew Carla was, and Sarah too. (As are many others in Corrie.) But I forgot about Kym/Michelle. Her hair is so shiny! 😆

I know there is a ridiculous story line coming up about Ryan's parentage
But I actually think the Conners are well casted
I actually think Michelle,Paul and Liam could be siblings IRL and the actor who plays Ryan could be Kym Marsh,s son they all have dark hair and good looks imo.

TennisWithDeborah · 15/08/2025 21:29

Yes the Connors are well cast. They absolutely look like a family.

I think that Brooke Vincent strongly resembles Michael Le Vell as well.

The Sinbad family didn’t work out iirc. The viewers didn’t take to them. There have been a few recent-ish characters that just didn’t land well …Ronnie, Steve’s girlfriend springs to mind. Sonia in the factreh.

Yes I agree about Brooke Vincent and Michael Le vell they could be father and daughter
But I also think Helen flannagan could be Sally Dynevors,daughter they are all well cast too.

And Carla looks like them too! Of course in many years we will find out that she is actually a Connor not just married in - and Paul is her cousin

They’re out on strike at the factory again. Peter’s back which is a bonus. Other than that and all the Conner twists and turns I found today’s a bit flat. Liked Tracey glaring at Maria in the pub. Can’t remember if Maria ends up with Peter…

I think she does briefly, but then who hasent ,she had a fling with?
Same can be said for Peter too though.
Not liking Leanne at that moment she's very arrogant and thinks she's wonderful

I’m not keen on the new people, the Mortons
