CLASSIC CORRIE THREAD. Now in June 2006.

993 replies

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!

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

Me neither, although I do like a bit of The Jam. Jerry, aka Sinbad fancies Gail!

Did anyone notice that Clare’s new friend, the one with the dog is a very young Rhona from Emmerdale?

HurdyGurdy19 · 20/08/2025 19:19

Thank you @Middlemarch123 - I'd been wracking my brains trying to work out where I knew her from

SabreIsMyFave · 20/08/2025 20:01

Re: The Mortons, I thought Jodie (who was giving Jason a lot of hassle when he was refitting the shop,) was Jerry's wife! I was like Shock when he introduced her as his daughter. Jerry looks like he's in his early 50s, and Jodie looks in her early 40s (to me.) And I thought the 3 children (Daryl, Mel, and Kayleigh,) were his and Jodie's.

Also recognise the lass playing Casey as an Emmerdale character. I don't watch Emmerdale, but do see a lot of clips from it.

Leanne is an Escort! Not shocked really. I knew she wasn't some fancy business woman! And wtf happened to her voice/accent? 😆

TracyLuv is an utter sociopath isn't she? Awful woman! Poor Claire.

@SabreIsMyFave I've just this minute said to DH about being really surprised that she's his daughter and I thought she was his wife.
I googled their dobs, Sinbad is 1957 and Jodie is 1974. But yeah they look very close in age.

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 20/08/2025 21:19

I thought she looked too young to be his wife but old to be his daughter!

Ah ha, so he is 19 years older than her, so could be her dad. But yeah, they do look close in age. So he is 50 in Classic Corrie in 2007 (and I think he looks about 4 years younger than his age,) and is she 33, and I think she looks about 4 years older. So there looks like a 10 year age gap between them roughly. IMO.

LOL yeah, good point. Although I did think she was his wife, but still thought she was younger than him - by maybe a decade. I definitely didn't think she was his daughter though. I do think she looks/seems old enough to be the mother of the Daryl, Mel, Kayleigh.

I also thought Jodie, who'd been nagging at Jason, was married to the Sinbad actor! I wasn't listening very closely though. If I hadn't read the posts above, I'd probably still be thinking that for the next few months and wondering why nothing made sense. Grin

Didn't jodie go onto play the bus driver in the Cbeebie,s programme Me too?
I remember watching it when my now nearly 19 tyear old was a toddler
It was q Scottish programme, it took me ages to realise that Me too and Balamory were two separate programmes, as I didn't really pay attention 🤣🤣

TracyLuv is vile she's doing nothing to help her case arguing with everyone including her defence team ,I'm looking forward to next week's episodes .

I did like today’s episode with just Deirdre and Tracy

Just came on here to say the same, it was very good. Both actors were great. Corrie at its best. Looking forward to the court case.

Me too, Kate Ford is a fantastic actress
TracyLuv is evil!

Mesmerising wasn't it. Tracy's lines in modern Corrie come nowhere close to that episode.

Middlemarch123 · 26/08/2025 10:05

Had to laugh at Blanche’s quips in court. They don’t write lines like that anymore. Loved her and Emily with their sandwiches. And Blanche taking her book, because the first few days can be a bit dull.

How Janice and Joanne are treating Wiki is awful

Yes Janice is just a nasty bully ,a really un pleasant character.

Steve’s so sweet with Amy. And what a pretty little lady she is! All that effort Steve went to to try and get Michelle…all he had to do was show his vulnerable side and she’s smitten.

Absolutely. I'm assuming they get together soon
Well TracyLuv didn't think that one through did she?

The little girl playing Amy is absolutely gorgeous. I wonder if she carried on acting?

Tracyluv played the part so well, but as with everyone else no sympathy for her.

Poor David, having to wait 15 years for his passion with Tracyluv 😂

I don't think so ,I agree she ,s a very pretty child ,but I suspect like most corrie children when the time comes for her to.have a more definitive role she will dissappear for a,while and reappear with a new head 🤣
Now Bethany,s getting a bit older she's appearing more awkward in her role, imo.

I hate Tracy so much but I also hate Diedre. I know she’s her mum and all but blaming herself and saying sorry to Tracy when she knows that Tracy deliberately planned and murdered Charlie is all too much for me. What does it take for Diedre to realise how bad Travy is. I actually didn’t remember that Ken and Diedre found out that Tracey killed him on purpose, seemed all was forgiven in future when Tracy came out of prison and went back home

I think she, s torn Tracy,s her daughter yes she's rotten to the core but it's hard not to love your own child even when you don't like them and she admitted that
I read that Peter Sutcliffe, s Dad rang him every week untill his death
I think she does know how bad Tracy is but how would that make you feel as a parent?
