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!

@TennisWithDeborah

Luckily, the youngest girl went on to have a consistent career and she married the son of Henry Winkler (the Fonz). Not sure about the others.

Oooh, I didn't know that! I wonder how they met?

Also LOL-ing at everyone calling the new family 'The Sinbads.' The one I LOATHE the most is the mother. Face like a slapped arse - all the time.

Unfortunately she's in it for a while yet. 🙄

Mr Stape looks like a lovely young man. Nice to reconnect with Fizz.

Surely Fizz would have picked up when Ches mentioned him being at school ? Or isn’t he a teacher ?

thecatdidit · 21/09/2025 15:36

I'm just catching up on the thread. Was Fizz in a relationship with John Stape before and if so, was it broadcast or a "background/silent" storyline?
I dare not google it in case of spoilers. Yes I remember some things/ Fizz's surname etc but not everything

OnTheBoardwalk · 21/09/2025 17:11

@thecatdidit It was a back story, Snape was a DJ and Fiz was a teenager. They lost touch when she went into care/was moved away

Don't they went into how deep the relationship went but I think Fiz was a young teenager

eggandonion · 22/09/2025 16:50

I don't remember Clur and the fire at all. There's too much drama.

Waa there an age gap .?

Middlemarch123 · 22/09/2025 17:12

Do we think it was that friend of Clur that burned the house down, the one who now plays Rhona in Emmerdale, or was it one of the Sinbads or David? And I’m fed up of Dreary now, stropping and sobbing all over the place. And I don’t like Liz’s brewery bloke either. Stape needed to forget about cutting his nails and wash his greasy hair. Roy could fry his chips in it.

Not sure if said on show but I have seen that Fiz was 13 and John 19. Hopefully this isn’t a spoiler as it’s a back story! Not seen anything more than this

Thats quite an age gap ,I know it was a different time but still.

eggandonion · 22/09/2025 18:00

I don't remember Ken and Daniel. I remember Ken in the bed and breakfast.

HurdyGurdy19 · 22/09/2025 20:36

I remember there being a fire, but not that it was Ashley and Clurr's house. I thought it was the Sinbads' shed that got burned.

Assume Freddie is safe and well somewhere

thenightsky · 23/09/2025 15:28

Why are Ashley and Clure shouting and screaming at each other and the people trying to help? I've been in an awful, not dissimilar situation and we all sat quietly, knowing screaming would help no one.

Very odd how many are reacting to a baby’s death; strange writing adding ‘humour’

Which baby is dead? Freddie is alive. Is another baby dead?

CherryogDog · 24/09/2025 09:32

Was Claire's falling out with Cacey recent? My TV box died and I missed a few episodes.
What did they fall out over?

thenightsky · 24/09/2025 09:38

As far as I can remember, Casey babysat Freddie, but took him for a walk without telling Claire. Claire arrived home to find both of them not in the house and freaked out. Casey returned (I think) and Claire tore her off a strip.

CherryogDog · 24/09/2025 09:45

@thenightsky thanks! I remember now that you've said that.

I was talking about when they all thought he was dead, before he was found

OnTheBoardwalk · 24/09/2025 22:11

I’ve seen elsewhere the Freddy story was supposed to be a full on abduction story with clure doing police appeals and everything however it was the same time as the Madeline McCann appeals so they quickly shut it down and refilmed

Wow, that's interesting! Thanks @OnTheBoardwalk Makes sense!

I am puzzled about the Casey thing/Clurr counselling her. (And Casey disappearing without a trace...) Would there not have been some kind of paper trail or digital trail from when Clurr spoke to Casey? Seems odd that no-one ever saw her or spoke to her or has any shred of evidence that she existed.

disclaimer, I know very little about these things/counselling people/samaritans type lines etc, so forgive my ignorance.

Yeah I reckon it was Casey.

I also agree about whiny Dreary Barlow. No wonder Ken fecked off to his ex, and his long lost son! 😬 She has treated him like shit.

I also really dislike that brewery bloke (the tall grey/blonde haired one,) but I also dislike Vernon. I dislike them for different reasons that I can't quite articulate!

I don't know why or how people can have affairs, it seems like hard work. So much sneaking around and lying and being devious and cruel, and treating the person you (supposedly) love badly. Why? Just WHY do people do it?! Confused

Oh, and bloody Paul Connor acting like the victim when Carla caught him out with the escort agency thing. What an arsehole! And now he has driven off with Leanne in his car boot!

The one I feel sorry for in all of this is Liam. Nice guy, done nothing wrong, and Leanne is continuing shagging other men for money. Grubby!

thenightsky · 27/09/2025 16:41

Won't Claire have Casey's phone number on her phone seeing as she seemed to be ringing her endlessly a few weeks ago? Police could trace her through that number and the mobile phone company?

SabreIsMyFave · 06/10/2025 21:18

So Casey has handed herself in to the police after Claire gave them a photo of her that was taken on a disposable camera she had forgotten about, but she appears to have talked herself out of it. Not sure how anyone can prove Casey did it (if she did.)

Michelle is annoying me a bit. Liam was annoying me too today. He's gone off for a bit, but I think he will be back soon.

Surely Leanne can't expect Carla to want to run a restaurant with her now?! R.I.P. Paul.

Glad to see Deidre and Ken have made it up.

Don't like Sinbad's annoying dad. (The one who pretended to be dead!)
