CLASSIC CORRIE THREAD. Now in June 2006.

993 replies

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!

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.

Yeah Tracy and Charlie deserve each other! Steve does seem to have stepped up and seems to care about Amy (which is nice to see...) Smile

I hope Craig does come back! Smile

Craig will be back and Shelley will have the last laugh… although god knows why she fell for his nonsense. Charlie and Tracey are both vile and deserve each other. Steve didn’t even believe Amy was his after Tracy said she was Roy’s and tried to flog her.

Where are Joshua’s grandparents, Doreen and her ex? Does he ever visit them?

Good point, they seem to have disappeared don’t they

I don’t think they’ve ever been mentioned since Maxine's demise. Josh seems to spend all his time with Fred

Doreen was in it briefly when Ashley had got together with Claire. She wasn’t taking it v welll but trying to be nice if I remember right. Not seen her since though

I think they agreed to try and get along for our joshuas sake.

SabreIsMyFave · 14/04/2025 22:05

So based on today's episode, I wonder if Matt - is going to deliver Claire and Ashley's baby? 😱

I don't remember any of this, not even the lovely Vernon. I wonder what I was doing.

Probably 🙄
Corrie women and their extremely fast labours
Does anyone ever give birth in a hospital. ?
Its always so dramatic.

eggandonion · 15/04/2025 11:05

Deedee will show that a home birth is possibly safer...the maternity part of the hospital let her down 😒

LOL so true. Half hour labours for most. What a dream that would be for women!

And yeah, they are rarely actually in hospital!

In real life, most women would get to hospital before the baby popped out! 😬

I could have got to a hospital at the other end of the country before my boys decided to make an appearance 🤣🤣

thecatdidit · 15/04/2025 14:34

My third child was born within an hour of me arriving at the hospital. First two were under five hours labour. If I'd had another I might not have made it to hospital in time !

eggandonion · 15/04/2025 18:06

My third was a speedy arrival too. I watched Corrie and had tea before I went to hospital, I was only there for half an hour!

I think they were playing on Claire feeling embarrassed about the false alarm the day before. I don’t know why they didn’t get someone from the medical centre - isn’t it over the road? Still don’t see why Dr Matt wasn’t struck off for having a relationship/child with a patient.

I like seeing our Josh as he always seems to interact naturally with the actors, unlike many others his age.

x2boys · 17/04/2025 19:09

Janice was suddenly very tanned today!

She was VERY tanned! Almost ridiculously so! 😆

FlibbertyGibbitt · 18/04/2025 09:05

I think they’d all had a spray tan! Janice, Frankie ( been on holiday so can forgive that) and Maria.

I also find Liz’s boyfriend Vernon really, really irritating. I know he’s meant to be but why doesn’t she ever say anything about him being so lazy 🙄

SabreIsMyFave · 24/04/2025 10:28

The thread's gone a bit quiet. Smile

So Leanne has thrown a grenade into Danny's life then. Given Adam a copy of the new/genuine version of Mike's will. Can't say I feel sorry for him, after how nasty he was to Leanne. Leanne's no Angel, but he had some nerve blaming her for his life being upended. He was the man who cheated on his wife - and also his son! He had an affair with his son's girlfriend.

Wonder if Janice will lose her job now.

Why doesn't Craig stay with Salleh and Kev? They did offer. Can't be nice sleeping on a park bench!

Claire seems to be coping way too well after having a baby. It's all going to catch up with her surely...?!

I'm annoyed Matt got his own way. He doesn't deserve to see Joshua.

x2boys · 24/04/2025 13:21

Im thinking both the actress,s who played Rosie webster and Amber were in GCSE year in real life at this point so corrie would have had to give them both study leave hence the rather unbeleivable story line about Rosie going to France for five weeks with school?

UrsulasHerbBag · 24/04/2025 20:50

Glad Danny gets what’s coming to him, I’ve no sympathy for Leanne at all but he could have said no at any point and he could have ended it after the big reveal not move her in and give her a job int factry.

UrsulasHerbBag · 24/04/2025 20:53

@x2boys dont forget Rosie is in posh school and everything is twice as good if you pay for it, including an unbelievable 5 weeks away in France! Jesus they wanted £800 for 3 nights for my son’s trip to France, that’s a LOT of gussets for Sally to sew.

HurdyGurdy19 · 24/04/2025 20:56

Agree that Claire is coping extremely well with being a new mum.

And don't forget that Danny cheated on his wife (Carol) with Frankie, and then cheated on Frankie with his son's girlfriend. He's got a nerve blaming anyone else for his problems.

Craig is irritating me now. He's been offered a bed at his girlfriend's actual house and turned it down. No one ever questioned why he was lugging his bag around with him, if he was meant to be staying with a mate whose parents were away. Why wouldn't he just leave the bag there?
