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!

Oh FGS, bloody Casey turning up on every corner, is like Undead Becky in current Corrie. Hmm Always just there. Never NOT there. Always re-appearing and re-surfacing like a stain you can't get rid of, or a bad smell. And why, just WHY does Ashley let her stay in their house overnight, and wear Claire's dressing gown? And WHY does he let her take Josh off to the park and the museum??? He knows nothing about her. I bet he doesn't even know her surname. Does he know where she lives? No. He knows nothing about her, and yet he trusts her with his CHILD? 😕

I like Lloyd, but he has been annoying this past couple of episodes, and Jamie a bit too, virtually bullying Steve, with regard to his 'experience' in Malta. And Eileen's not much better, she should never have taken the photograph, (of Steve and 'Shania,') and then brought it into the cab office. And of course, Michelle had to see it! 🙄

Very good episode yesterday, David makes an excellent psychopath.
It did annoy me though the conversation between Audrey ,Gail and Sarah implying he,s a bit odd for never having a girlfriend, he's only 16!
Sarah has always had boyfriends and look what happened there!

thenightsky · 11/11/2025 14:22

I'd forgotten just how evil David used to be.

Yes, this is where David starts to get wicked - even more so. 😆 He has been just 'naughty' and 'rebellious' so far. But he's ramping it up now! And I think, that this is the point where he starts calling his mum GAIL. 😂(He did it today!)

I do agree though that it's not nice to laugh at him for not having a girlfriend. Even if he was older than 16! So rude. I hadn't had a boyfriend even by 18 (back in the 1980s it was then, and every other girl my age was engaged, or married, or pregnant, or already a mother!) Several of my extended family members, and several neighbours treated me like I was an oddity, or an anomaly, for still being <<<GASP!!>>> single at the ripe old age of 18!!!

Cousins and workmates mocked me and even asked if I was a lesbian! Well duh, first of all there's nothing wrong with being a lesbian, and if I WAS, I wouldn't be any less likely to be single. Daft.

(I had my first boyfriend at 19. It's not that big a deal to have never had a boyfriend or girlfriend by 16!)

Sorry, went off on a tangent there. But yeah they need to get off David's back!

Oh I am SO sick of Casey (still) and Ashley has really pissed me off by fecking about with her. And WTF is she doing, saying she loves him and they're gonna be together etc etc etc..?! Hopefully this is where Ashley kicks her out of his life. I still wonder who set fire to Ashley and Clurr's house.

Ashley, a big drip ,how he's got two women is beyond me
And Casey saying she's loved him for a long time ,how long has known him a couple of months?
Hopefully the story line will conclude soon.

"And I think, that this is the point where he starts calling his mum GAIL. 😂(He did it today!)"

i absolutely noticed this as well! This is truly the turning point for him

JewelleryCat · 17/11/2025 14:51

The Mortons are really annoying me now. I get Jodie is stressed but there’s no need to speak to Lloyd like that

SabreIsMyFave · 17/11/2025 23:14

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the Mortons. Although Jodie did kind of apologise to Lloyd. She was arsey though, considering he was helping her and her family. The teen boy - who sleeps in the shed - is really annoying. He always seems to be half naked! (Can't recall his name!)

I wonder if Hayley does have a son? (From when she was Harold?) I don't remember this storyline at all!

Poor Audrey feeling bad for keeping Ashley's dirty little secret! But yeah, how DID Ashley manage to get 2 women?! Looks like Casey is out of it now - hopefully LOL! (Hooray!)

I vaguely remember the Hayley/ Harold son storyline ,but im disappointed with it i really dont think it would hsve been in character at all
Poor Freddie he's barely 1 and. So far his mum tried to kill him when she was ill
He's been kidnapped and abandoned I
And casey was going to kill him
Are social services not involved 🤔

I think Roy overreacted today (with regard to Hayley discovering/meeting her son.) I really don't remember this storyline at all....... Confused Hayley's son Harold (who she fathered when she was Harold.)

Claire is really angry, and quite rightly, but I'm baffled at her not only booting Ashley out of the house, but taking charge of Josh too (as well as Freddie.) That house is Ashley's isn't it? (Was Fred's before...) And Josh is Ashley's son with Maxine. Why is he allowing him to stay with Claire?

I mean, I know they're married so Claire could have a 50% claim on the house in the event of a divorce, but surely Ashley could say 'I'm not leaving, this is my home...' He can't sleep on Kevin's couch indefinitely.

It was Ashley and Maxine's house. I think Fred lived with them for a while.

Actually, I think Leanne and Nick lodged with Ashley too at one point. Probably when they first got married.

Were Leanne and nick there atthe same time as the cult storyline?

I thought that too, and did Clur ever officially adopt Joshua ?
I mean I know h calls her mummy now ,but maxine gave birth to him and Ashley's, officially his Dad?.

thenightsky · 19/11/2025 21:39

It was Ashley and Maxine's house. I think Fred lived with them for a while.

Fred bought it when he married Maureen, which ended very quickly
Then he Ashely lived in it with Zoe and baby Shannon and Nick and leanne
I think Fred gave it to Ashley and Maxine aa a wedding present ?
But it did baffle me a few weeks ago when Clur was having strange phone calls and said they had a mortgage on the house ?
It's not been a lucky house for Ashley ,Zoe losing baby Shannon, Maxine being murdered ,Clur also nearly being murdered Freddie nearly being murdered and abducted
I wonder why he still wants to live there?

JewelleryCat · 20/11/2025 08:05

@x2boys I don’t think Claire adopted Joshua unless it was done off screen. It’s quite sad though, you would have thought Ashley would keep Maxine’s memory alive but there’s never any mention of her or of Josh visiting Grandma Doreen

I know or Doeeen visting him
I find it quite strange that joshua visited Matt for a week i know he's is biological father ,but Ashley's his legal father and he was adamant he didn't want him to have much to do with him
I did notice though though child that plays joshua looked suspiciously tanned ,so I assume he had been on holiday IRL😅

thecatdidit · 20/11/2025 18:13

I commented to my DH that the little lad who plays Joshua is a better actor than Ashley.

eggandonion · 20/11/2025 22:37

I liked Ashley and wish he was still on the street. I liked Ashley and Maxine because they were weird together.

SabreIsMyFave · 22/11/2025 20:35

So now, David has nearly killed Bethany!!! Shock Looking after his mate's E tablets, and hid them in Bethany's doll. FFS! 🙄

I was a bit baffled that David said Bethany was 'fitting' though, and when the camera got to her, she was completely still, with her eyes closed!

They should have just said she was unconcious!

OP posts:
thecatdidit · 23/11/2025 08:20

They probably said fitting as that's a sign of someone having taken ecstasy perhaps?
I witnessed my DS having a febrile convulsion when he was a toddler, extremely frightening!

JewelleryCat · 26/11/2025 15:24

Where is Les? Surely he’d want to have welcomed Cilla back but I haven’t seen him on the street for a while. Is this when Bruce Jones got fired?
