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!

My son was born in 1992, he was taken to the nursery overnight with all the other babies, just a handwritten tag on his wrist.
I later worked in the same hospital in maternity, babies have two barcode tags, one on the ankle, one on the wrist, checked by two people, and stay with mum unless in NICU.

thecatdidit · 23/01/2026 13:27

@x2boys I had one of my children in 1992, they had the id bracelets stating baby "surname" weight length and dob. I don't know what a security tag is though.
I remember family coming in unannounced during mum rest period and they weren't allowed on the ward so there must have been some sort of security, buzz onto the ward then.
My first was born in 1987 and anyone could walk onto the ward if I recall.

thecatdidit · 23/01/2026 13:33

My message didn't post originally, so it is just repeating one others have said 🤦‍♀️.
My DC tags were handwritten and not barcoded. The DC stayed by my side at all times and DH was there when I took my showers. Obviously I'd have had to leave them alone when I went to the toilet.(& who can remember the fear of trying to open your bowels 😂?)

eggandonion · 23/01/2026 17:24

I think seurity was tightened a lot after Baby Abbie was stolen. Round about the early nineties.

SabreIsMyFave · 27/01/2026 20:07

Anyone still watching? Smile

They have just had Christmas Day on the street, and the shit has hit the fan, as The Websters - and Fizz have found out that Rosie has been having an affair with John Stape. Rosie was absolutely vile. Threatening to tell Fizz herself if John didn't dump her - on Christmas Eve! And then when Sally was upset at what Rosie has done, and called her a common little tart, she said 'you're just jealous because YOU'RE FORTY! And you're past it!' 😱 Past it at 40, LOLOLOLOL! 😆 I suppose 40 does feel old compared to 17.

I don't get why ANYone fancies John Stape. He is deeply unnattractive IMO. Dull and boring with no personality or character. No charisma, average looking, and just..... 💤😴

Sarah has got Uncle Stephen to let her and Jason go to Milan instead of David, and Roy managed to speak to Hayley at the end of Christmas day (where he hosted Becky, Kirk, and Chesney.)

Big Jim turned up at the Rovers so he did. Vernon wasn't happy. I think he can see a spark between Jim and Elizabeth so he can.

Yep I am. Id forgotten how nasty Rosie could be. According to Corriepedia the NYE episode has an incident between Jim and Vernon.

JenniferBooth · 27/01/2026 20:50

I do remember watching the Christmas Day episode at the time. I remember the presents Rosie and Fizzs getting mixed up. Those presents really showed Stapes Madonna/whore complex A sexy basque for Rosie and comfy pyjamas for Fizz.

Yes i agree fizz is a very pretty women in her own right ans so is Rosie but they are very different ,fizz is quirky. And has her own style whereas Rosie is bring portrayed as a Lolita character neither of them deserved the presents they got.

TennisWithDeborah · 27/01/2026 21:48

I was thinking of Abbie Humphries the other day because someone mentioned she’d died about a year ago at the age of 30. Bless her.

FlibbertyGibbitt · 28/01/2026 16:22

Aghhhhh I can’t get last nights second episode, I’m on series 48 episode 262…. Is this correct?

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 28/01/2026 18:40

I think there was only one on yesterday! It was aftermath of Rosie and John affair beimg
exposed.

is anyone else on Sarah’s side? I understand why she planted the drugs on David. David has acted abhorrently for the last while and he gets away with it all the time.

eggandonion · 28/01/2026 18:42

I adore big Jim so I do and saw him in a cafe once. But I do enjoy Vernon too!

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 28/01/2026 18:45

262 was on yesterday and 263 and 264 on the player today.

I kinda can see why Sarah did it. David nearly killed Bethany, he nearly killed Jason (with his loosening the scaffolding stunt,) and he ruined her wedding. And yes, she did see David as behaving appallingly, and getting rewarded for it!

Jason is seeing Sarah as being cold and calculating though, and her telling him she set David up, has now put the final nail in the coffin. Jason and Sarah are over now. Jason went back home and Sarah didn't follow, so that shows what she really thinks of Jason too. If she had cared enough about him/really loved him, she would have come back home with him.

Surely if 'Uncle Stephen' hears about what Sarah did (planting the drugs on David,) he should withdraw the job offer and hand it back to David? David has Gail in the palm of his hands now though. 'You OWE me now Gail!' Shock

Thanks for this. I was able to catch up on itvx as i went out to do the weekly shop this afternoon.

thecatdidit · 29/01/2026 20:38

I record the afternoon episodes on Virgin box. It's very confusing today and the episode numbers were all out of order, one never recorded at all.
I resorted to watching it on the ITV player and that went wrong by going on to "next episode" set really far in the future (I don't want to spoiler it but it was yet another stag night)

OnTheBoardwalk · 29/01/2026 21:19

My sky q recordings have also been all over the place today and yesterday and yes I also saw some spoilers when just trying to watch what I had recorded

I have no idea either why Sarah told Jason and why uncle Stephen wouldn’t just put her on the next flight back

Shoecamp · 30/01/2026 07:44

Feel like I’m going mad. Caught the end of yesterday’s second episode and it was NYE. Went to my virgin box to watch said episode and it was an older one from Christmas Day.
went back to live tv and clicked “watch from start” and it was the Christmas Day one!!
this morning have looked at itvx and can’t even see any normal eps! The series 50, 51 etc are only special ones and not the daily eps.
really want to watch the nye one as it looked good!

You have to find series 48 on ITVX , I’m fed up of the time change as well.

Ah thanks! Yes me too, I much preferred the earlier time

Baffling isn't it? I was also baffled as to why Sarah told Jason what she did. Some things are better left unsaid! 😬

And yes, I am a bit puzzled as to why Uncle Stephen didn't withdraw the offer to Sarah. (Though he very likely doesn't know yet.)

Also, Big Jim's behaviour was atrocious! 'You're mine Elizabeth! MINE!' Punching poor Vernon, and then punching him some more. It wasn't just an angry random punch, he wanted to really hurt Vernon. Liz married Vernon anyway, but before Big Jim attacked him, Liz wasn't going to go through with it. She cares for Vernon, and likes him, but she doesn't love him. That much is certain. Poor bloke. I'm not a fan of Vernon, but I did feel sorry for him all beaten up and bloodied! 😢

I'd love to have seen Liz and Vernon in Nashville.

Why doesn’t Maria phone for help or find someone? She could have done it in daylight rather than waiting for it to get dark

Haven’t seen today’s ep yet but on Friday she said she’d left her phone in the hotel charging

Housewife2010 · 02/02/2026 17:22

I'm fed up of Maria's moaning. She's not a good enough actress to make me care.
