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'm getting to the stage where I'm not really interested in the storylines. But, unless I'm misremembering, there's quite a major one involving Rosie.

It’s starting to get too close to the present for me also thecat I remember all the storylines from now on and it all starts getting a bit mad!

Carla is awful isn’t she. She pursues Peter relentlessly later on when he’s engaged/married to Leanne and Leanne was supposed to be her best mate.

sorry for your losses Sabre

Thank you. 😘

This is all going to blow up in Michelle’s face. Seeing Alex when she said she wouldn’t etc

I know right. So disrespectful to Ryan, seeing Alex when he said he didn't want her to. Michelle (and Alex's parents) were all like 'oooh, we should do what the boys want' and she agreed, and now she is going to see Alex. And lying to Steve too, saying Alex's mum had phoned her, when it was she Michelle who phoned her. As you say, not gonna end well!

I thought the Carla/Leanne friendship was over when Leanne slept with Carla's husband for money and Carla pulled out of the restaurant partnership.

Don't they later go round and round in tedious circles with Peter and Leanne ,then Peter dnd Carla ,then. Nick and Leane and Nick and Carla ?

Yeah they became friends again at some stage. And as x2boys says they partner swap a few times!

SabreIsMyFave · 13/02/2026 21:44

So Michelle has purposely gone to see Alex now then?! And Alex seemed to like her. Poor Ryan!

x2boys · 14/02/2026 08:45

I cant understand why none of them are paticularly a angry with weatherfield general
A baby swap is massively negligent and would have huge impacts on both families and yet they all seem quite blasé about it.

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 14/02/2026 16:04

Yeah they haven’t even reported it or anything have they??! Just done their own research and DNA tests.

it’s funny watching this with knowledge of future events - like Alex is going to end up sleeping with both Carla and Maria in about 10 years time 😀 😬

It was a storyline to enable Michelle to screech. I liked Dr Ali.

Whenever Michelle comes on screen she’s either screeching, rolling her eyes and flipping her hair or crossing her arms and glaring.
@x2boys yes, why has no one gone to the authorities over this? I would have a restraining order on that man, no matter what’s happened he had no right stalking that boy and terrifying them all.
I’m still grinding my teeth at Carla’s behaviour. I’d forgotten how much soaps always turned women on women in cat fights over men.

eggandonion · 15/02/2026 14:36

Michelle has amazing hair though.

Does anyone else think violet is being unfair to Sean?

Yes very much so
I dont remember her saying He would just be a donor when she was trying to get pregnant
Now she wants Jamie to be the Dad.

Yes exactly, I’m sure they were going to have the baby together. Sean can’t even open his mouth without violet over reacting x 100

No, not me. I cannot stand the Sean character.
He thinks he owns Violet and the pregnancy. Totally inappropriate throwing hissy fits about the name, the birth etc and he was despicable pushing to find out the sex
of the baby and then telling other people.
Mouth runs ahead of his brain, so
selfish.

I actually don’t like Sean either. Also agree that the debacle about the sex of the baby was really out of order. But since then, it just feels like Sean isn’t allowed to even mention the baby without violet exploding and going on about he’s making her ill which I just feel is unfair and a massive over reaction. She’s not letting him have any involvement at all and Jamie gets to help choose name, be at birth etc and Sean isn’t getting a look in.

Yes, I think Michelle has nice shiny glossy hair, but I really don't like the hairstyle. 😬

Yes, I do feel sorry for Sean actually. He looks like a wounded puppy. Violet is treating him like shit.

Well today's episode was quite good (episodes I mean!) Carla throwing herself at Liam and saying 'I don't WANT to feel like this about you Liam!' with Liam saying he loves Maria and has ZERO interest in Carla. It's so obvious there's a spark between Liam and Carla, and it does feel that he is only marrying Maria because she's pregnant. And then Maria saw Liam and Carla come out of the house together and have a little 'kiss' goodbye! Shock

And it's the wedding TOMORROW!!!!!!!! 😱

I had that style in the mid noughties, but auburn coloured. It was a nightmare to straighten and smooth out and I soon got sick of it. Far too high maintenance.

SabreIsMyFave · 18/02/2026 20:40

I imagine it is a high maintenance style. (Michelle's.) I have heard posters on Mumsnet saying even though you would technically think having short hair/shorter hair would be less fuss than long/longer hair, they have always found shorter hair more difficult to manage.

Michelle is in an impossible situation though
She clearly loves Ryan as her son she's brought him up for 16 years
But now she's told the son she's adores isn't hers and she's met the son she gave birth too thats. Going to screw anyone up
