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!

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?

Oh I know, I do get it, but Tracey blaming her mum for her going to prison is just taking the proverbial and it makes me really angry. It also really got to me when K and D let her off for “date raping” Roy and lying about him being the father and trying to sell the baby. How many times does Tracy get let off the hook??

Tourist29 · 28/08/2025 22:08

I noticed ‘Amy’ really light up with Liz, otherwise she is a bit early Lilly in modern family. David is an awful character, I can’t believe he lasted so long - a dramatic exit is long overdue and I don’t even watch it any more!

I agree she ,s awful ,but I can also understand Deirdre not wanting her to go to prison Tracy isn't greatful to anyone she doesn't really have any redeeming features
I think she loves Amy but poor Amy is secondary to Tracy's dramas

SabreIsMyFave · 28/08/2025 22:26

Today's episodes were good. I agree that TracyLuv (Kate Ford) was really good! Deidre got on my tits today getting at Ken. I know she is upset at her daughter going to prison, but she was such a cow to Ken.

Also agree that Janice is being vile to Wiki. Good for Wiki for saying that lots of people work abroad, including Janice's bloke, and her daughter!

Poor old Jo though, she isn't an 'official' Brit, and is scared of being busted if they check on the Polish girls!

Loved Steve with Amy, and I think Michelle is going soft on him now! 😆

Blance and her packed lunch in the court! 😆

Yeah Janice is plain nasty I think it's quite accurate the factory having some Polish machinist, s my dh has worked I'm a warehouse since 2009 and they have employed quite a lot of Polish and eastern European workers and many do send money home but my Irish grandfather did the same when he moved to England to find work in the 1950,s and had a family to support it's no different but they are not illegal and she's very ignorant to beleuve that

"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 didn't realise either that Tracy confessed her guilt to Deirdre. I also forgot that she was found guilty by the jury 🤦‍♀️. I was certain she came straight home 😂

I don't remember Tracy confessing to Deidre either. She totally blew up her own case. If she hadn't done that, Deidre would have been (sort of) OK! Deidre told the posh solicitor too - and she said to Tracy 'women like you disgust me!' (after she found out about all the lies.)

I think the reality of it all hit Tracy though (in yesterday's second episode) when her cellmate said 'she's a lot like you' when she saw a photo of Amy. Tracy said ''I hope not. I really hope not'' and she looked tearful and regretful.

Amy was very cute yesterday ''when's my mummy coming back?!'' 😢

Steve made me laugh though, when he said ''what's Amy gonna say when someone asks her what her parents do? 'Well..... me dad runs a pub, and me mam runs the wing in Styal womens prison!'' 😂

Steve was quite funny and quirky back then. He's a bit of a blithering buffoon now! 😬

Who is Casey?

HurdyGurdy19 · 31/08/2025 10:42

Casey is the woman that Claire has befriended from the DV support group she volunteers at.

NCTDN · 31/08/2025 23:05

I’m genuinely fascinated by the amount of smoking inside that is still happening in these episodes.

Deidre never stops does she?! 😬

It's so weird (to me) that people were still smoking inside public places just 18 years ago. Glad it's not a thing now!

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this on here yet (I haven't seen it,) but did anyone else hear Rosie (or it may have been Sophie) mention Mr Stape from the school......... ? 👀 It was a couple of episodes ago.

I loved hapless John Stape, and laugh every time I think of his line "well, she's had better days" 😂

Am I right in thinking that Sally had a bit of a crush on him first?

Yes she def did. He comes into their lives because of her really but not as a boyf

thenightsky · 02/09/2025 17:51

I really don't recall the Sinbad from Brookside family at all, yet I watched it religiously around this time. How odd.

Middlemarch123 · 02/09/2025 18:19

Yep, Stape is waiting in the wings… brilliant story line coming up.
I assume Holly the baby that is Charlie’s goes back to her mum, can’t remember this story line at all?

Liz hopefully doesn’t marry lazy drummer boy, fingers crossed

Same here, I was an avid watcher back then and this family are completely wiped from my memory, I was expecting the Windass family to emerge from the car!

eggandonion · 02/09/2025 22:27

I like Vernon. He's so pathetic. I remember Sinbad but not his family.

I vaguely remember sinbad and his family( funny how we all call him sinbad🤣)
The baby holly storyline is ridiculous surely social services would have checked Holly/Chloe was actually being cared for like DNA tests?by family before allowing her to stay with the grimshaws,?
And now it's been established that holly/chloe isnt related to Eileen or jason on what grounds. Does Eileen think she can keep her?

Tourist29 · 03/09/2025 06:56

I’m fast forwarding through most of the sinbad and grimshaw family stuff. Seem to have been bombed by the Conners and the Sinbads. Deidre/Ken and Liz keeping it afloat for me at the moment.

It is ridiculous I agree. I remember Jason being put out when the baby arrived and saying he hadn’t slept with anyone but then I forget if he admitted he had?? He was getting married to Sarah at the time so I’d be surprised if he had cheated but as he accepted holly as his own then I guess he’s either really really thick, or he did admit sleeping with someone

I think he might still have been with violet?
Or just got together with sarah?
But I imagine he's a bit of a " Jack the lad" and has slept around a fair bit so couldn't remember if he had slept wit Emma or not.

He was definitely with Sarah at the time, I remember her being really angry with him because it would have been the lead up to their wedding and he would have cheated on her
