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!

Sean has been really annoying me at the moment.

thecatdidit · 01/04/2025 18:52

I've managed to watch the "missing" episode today. It had completely wrong write up (it says about Maria getting nearly knocked down by a car) . The start was about Diggory Compton's stale products and then Danny confronted Lianne in the pizza restaurant.

thecatdidit · 01/04/2025 18:53

Speaking of the Italian restaurant, loads of footage there recently. They're certainly getting their money's worth if it's a hired venue for the production company.

In the first half hour episode Leanne approached Jackie and talked to violet in the yard at the rovers.

I saw that one. Wasn't it on Monday? Leanne asked Violet if she could help her get Jamie to meet her (in a restaurant) so she could try and talk him into forgiving Danny.

It’s gone off the boil a bit for me - too much of a Shaun show and very Amber heavy. Find I’m fast forwarding.

It is a little bit Amber heavy, and to be honest, she's getting on my nerves a bit. I do like Sean in Classic Corrie, (even now I do, although he seems universally loathed on Twitter) but he was a bit annoying going on about his dad.

So im not understanding why Gail has kept David off he says he,s being bullied by kids in the year above whilst we know these are lies ,even if it were true thess kids would have been year 11 so have left anyway 🤔

Yeah, looking it up in an encyclopedia puzzled me actually. This was 2006. We had the internet then, and I am fairly sure Google was about.

We definitely has yahoo and ask Jeeves back then!

JewelleryCat · 04/04/2025 10:37

I thought she looked the word up in a dictionary. Is a dictionary and encyclopaedia the same?

eggandonion · 04/04/2025 12:33

Ask Jeeves was great!
Encyclopedia explained subjects, dictionary words.
For maths an Encyclopedia would have been a better bet.

Have never liked the David character, poor Gail should listen to Audrey more. Met a relative of the actor once, apparently the character isn’t much of a stretch for him

UrsulasHerbBag · 04/04/2025 14:17

David was a nasty piece of work but my god Gail was a deluded enabling fool. Audrey always had him pegged.

*placemarking

been watching Classic since 1995 but have so many episodes to catch up on, I’ll be coming back to read through the thread when I’m up to date 😃

Tourist29 · 07/04/2025 16:57

I just listened to Nigel Havers on the Rosebud podcast with Gyles Brandreth - Suzy Blake (Bev) was his girlfriend through drama school. Funny how he was later in Corrie too.

x2boys · 08/04/2025 06:47

What a bitch Tracy is she doesnt deserve to be a mother
Howeever bad charlie is hes made it abunduntly clear he doesnt see Amy as his responsibility in anyway .

JewelleryCat · 08/04/2025 08:22

I must say, I don’t understand the Charlie and Tracy storyline. With Shelley, we know it was abusive and controlling. Is Charlie trying to do the same with Tracy?

Im not sure i quite understsnd it either ,charlie could msnipulate and control shelley but Tracey is very different to shelley i think they both like playing games.

thenightsky · 08/04/2025 11:44

I find it very scary watching Tracy mess with Charlie. Its like watching someone poking a very large poisonous snake with a stick. I would never trust him to look after little Amy.

Tbf Amy isnt Charlie,s reponsibility hes made it very clear he has no interest whatsoever in her ,and tbf even he stayed in with her after Tracy sneaked out
Tracy is an appaling mother knowing all this but still expecting him just to look after her.

SabreIsMyFave · 08/04/2025 21:13

Yeah, I wouldn't trust Charlie to look after a bloody goldfish! He went out anyway, thinking Amy was alone. Then again, as has been said, Amy is not Charlie's responsibility ... Tracy shouldn't be left in charge of a goldfish either though, let alone a small child. She is a terrible mother! Shock

Exactly and she still doesnt care
Charlie is awful but he never wanted amy
Tracy was the one going along with it hoping he would change his mind shes the neglectful one

I agree! And isn't Charlie a pig, using Shelley like he did/stringing her along, to get her into bed?! It's sad that Shelley didn't realise what he was up to, and I feel bad for her.

Looks like Keith and Craig have gone now. Shame Craig has gone. Don't care that Keith has though!

Sad that Diggory is having to shut his shop...

Yeah charlie is vile and so is Tracy i have no sympathy for eirher of them
I know steve wasent interested in amy in the beginning but he is now and is the better parent ,she should give him primary residence ( although i know this happens in the not to distant future )
I think craig comes back for a while at least.
