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!

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?

Yes, they were both born in early-mid 1990, so would have been taking their GCSEs in Spring/Summer of 2006, so yeah that's very likely why they're disappeared for a bit! Smile

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?

Yeah, it's madness for Craig to sleep rough. Agree about Danny too. He has a nerve blaming others or his downfall. Did you hear him leaving messages to Leanne, he said he would KILL her if she ever comes back/if he sees her. He rattled on about her throwing him under the bus by sending a copy of Mike's will to Adam etc.... If Leanne plays these messages to the police, he's toast! And yes to Claire. I wonder when the post baby blues will kick in...

Leanne was complicit in the deceit and if the will is overturned surely she’d have to pay the £50k back too. Wouldn’t the solicitor in Spain have a copy of the will so it doesn’t matter if it’s photocopy.

Sally has some great lines and has brilliant comic timing. Amazing that not so long ago all parents had to worry about children seeing was an 18 video.

FlibbertyGibbitt · 25/04/2025 20:23

I can see poor Claire having a huge meltdown. She did well to strip all of the lounge and paint in an afternoon . Made me feel quite exhausted !

FlibbertyGibbitt · 29/04/2025 21:04

So the detective who arrested Danny, has he been in Corrie before as he was really familiar?

Apparently he was the Detective involved in the Steve and Ronnie hit and run

Oh yes ! Thanks

Poor Sarah

eggandonion · 01/05/2025 15:20

That Charlie Stubbs is a nasty piece of work.

thenightsky · 01/05/2025 17:05

Charlie is a great, believable baddie. Unlike modern Corrie baddies.

Apreslapluielesoleil · 02/05/2025 15:38

Charlie with Maria 🤢. But brilliantly written and acted. Just when you think he can’t go any lower he does.

Apreslapluielesoleil · 02/05/2025 15:38

And he has that underlying sense of danger. He creates massive tension in the air.

x2boys · 02/05/2025 21:47

He's awful but such a brilliant actor I also like how he's shown to have some redeeming qualities he paid for Jason and Sarah to have a posh night away in a hotel.,I love these little nuances ,it gives the character more dimension than just an out and our baddie

x2boys · 02/05/2025 21:53

I do think Charlie genuinely cares about Jason he even said he felt a bit fatherly towards him I think.he sees him.as his protege ,that doesn't mean he can be excused for all.his vile behaviour but it's an interesting twist.

UrsulasHerbBag · 03/05/2025 08:57

Agree @x2boys they give him just enough humanity to show how easy it is to see these monsters as normal and fall for them. He’s a great actor too, he played an excellent character/victim in emmerdale if I remember rightly. Poor Sarah, no warning that was going to happen, he was literally there until his mum turned up and he went off to the loo.

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 05/05/2025 22:56

Maria has no shame has she. How many times has she had an affair with someone else’s bloke? John (Toyah’s boyfriend), Charlie, Aidan. Cheated on Jason with the gay nurse who then cheated on her with Todd.

I agree. Shameful! 😬And she tried to get back with Tyrone too (I think he was with Fizz,) around 2015. She was going through a bit of a lonely/slightly bleak time IIRC, and she reached out to him and tried to come between him and Fizz.

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 05/05/2025 23:00

Yes didn’t she pretend to be Kirsty (Ruby’s mum) and send loads of weird texts to him. And she tried to get Ty back off Molly the other day on Classic!

UrsulasHerbBag · 06/05/2025 07:53

Maria seems to thrive on other women’s boyfriends. She’s picked the wrong one here because if Charlie doesn’t destroy her Tracey will when she finds out. She definitely tried to get back with Tyrone around 2015 too and fizz nearly smacked her.

I can’t wait for you to see what happens! This is one of my favourite storylines

Apreslapluielesoleil · 06/05/2025 15:29

Did Charlie take something from Maria’s flat when she ended it?

Yes. Not sure what though.

Apreslapluielesoleil · 06/05/2025 19:02

I reckon while Maria is away he’s going to put a camera in her flat.

eggandonion · 08/05/2025 19:37

What's Tracy going to do if she finds out about Maria and Charlie?😮

Ooooh, can't quite remember that with Kirsty - but it does sound a bit. familiar.
