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!

@x2boys

Michelle is in an impossible situation 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

Yeah it's messed up and would screw with most peoples heads. I'm not keen on the storyline though, and Michelle is annoying me a bit. I don't think I could honestly be bothered with her if I was Steve. Waaaaay too much baggage IMO.

Surely Maria would have had the sense to wear waterproof mascara on her wedding day?

PlattyCat · 19/02/2026 19:42

I was wondering the other day why Ryan and Michelle have the last name Connor. Wouldnt they have had Deans last name ? I them thought they mustn't have married but then in the episode I watched today she referred to Dean as her husband

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 19/02/2026 22:27

Michelle didn’t change her name when she married Steve (I remember because every woman in Corrie changes their name within seconds of being married usually) so possible she didn’t change when marrying Dean either but you’re right unusual for Ryan not to have his name whatever it was.

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 19/02/2026 22:32

although presumably Michelle wasn’t married yet when she had Ryan as they were only teenagers so maybe she never changed his name from Connor after they did marry

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 19/02/2026 22:32

Or possibly the Corrie writers didn’t think about it too hard 😂

Shoecamp · 20/02/2026 20:18

Just catching up after a few days. Can’t believe Michelle told Carla about Liam calling her name after his accident. What was she thinking

UrsulasHerbBag · 21/02/2026 02:52

@PlattyCat good spot about the names. You are right she has always said “my husband” yet she’s a Connor. Also @Shoecamp yep what was Michelle thinking? The last thing I would be thinking is to tell my sister-in-law from my eldest dead brother, my younger brother was shouting out his dead brothers wife’s name. I would have gone ballistic with Liam (my brother) and I would have knocked Carla into the back of next week and if I didn’t my mother would have done.

JenniferBooth · 23/02/2026 17:06

Fucking Dev laughing about the Ryan/Alex situation. What a prick

JenniferBooth · 23/02/2026 17:27

Oh i had that handbag

FlibbertyGibbitt · 24/02/2026 17:50

Who can remember being given a leather embossed bookmark as a holiday souvenir ? Was on tonight’s episode, brought back memories !!!!

I still have one of those moving hologram ones with my name and the meaning of my name on it. I still use it. Was my DB who brought it back from a holiday.

Housewife2010 · 25/02/2026 17:21

I don't think Violet should have an audience when she gives birth.

Me neither but I’m not sure Violet cared in that moment

Housewife2010 · 25/02/2026 17:27

I would have done.

Haven’t seen today’s eps yet. But, yesterday! Violet and Jamie planning a moonlight flit to get away from Sean!! So harsh

SabreIsMyFave · 25/02/2026 17:54

I've not watched today's yet either. Will watch them with my evening meal - around 6.30pm!

I wondered that too.

It was kind of like a gym top I think, like the one in the pic here.. But yes, it did look like a bra. (I could be wrong, it could have been a bra!)

Michelle is pissing me off quite a bit. She seems to be putting the feelings of Alex ahead of anyone else's feelings. Just inviting him to stay in the pub. It's not even her place. She didn't even ask Steve! And she seems to forget (sometimes) about Ryan!

CLASSIC CORRIE THREAD. Now in June 2006.

So violet had her baby in about half an hour like always happens on soaps. Wish that had happened to me!!

Indeed
My boys arrived after being induced over several days , and very slow long labours 🙄

eggandonion · 26/02/2026 11:40

My third one was fast. My first one wasn't. I liked Marcus.

Shoecamp · 26/02/2026 11:47

I’m sure violet didn’t really want everyone watching. When vernon mentioned the head coming out I was like 😫
