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!

Charlie smashing up Maria's flat! Shock He really went to town on it. And now he has got her in bed again, and said he loves her. Confused All very creepy! He has slept with her twice, and been having a fling for what, 2 weeks.......?

Also Fizz dumped poor Kirkeh! And Michelle Connor is back in it (and Liam appeared today.... Michelle's brother....) Wasn't it him who Maria had a baby with? (Her son who is also called Liam?)

Liam is very handsome. I hope he's not a wrong un like that Charlie.

JewelleryCat · 08/05/2025 22:16

It’s nice seeing Liam in this when I’m seeing the actor who plays Liam in Classic Corrie play Barrow in Downton Abbey

UrsulasHerbBag · 09/05/2025 07:55

Charlie is a complete nutcase, @SabreIsMyFave yes he’s literally slept with her twice and now obsessed. I can’t wait for Tracy to find out and destroy him. Liam! Doesn’t he buy the factory with one of his brothers soon and bring the Carla to shake things up? Also Poor Kirkeh!

He is indeed and he reminds of another famous Liam ,Liam Gallagher ,who.I have always had a bit of a crush on .

thenightsky · 09/05/2025 09:30

Charlie is an interesting character. He likes to have someone to manipulate and control as a plaything. He picked Shelley when she was vulnerable after the Peter relationship. When he first arrived he played Shelley's mum and Deirdre off against each other. He played games by trying it on with a drunk Violet, knowing she was with Jason. Now he's got Maria on a string because she's young and naive and living alone for the first time in her life. He keeps pushing Tracy, but she's much stronger and I think he maybe sees her as a challenge to break.

Obv I realise this is only a story! 😂

Many years ago I met someone who was doing a module on soap opera as drama in a modern university. He was doing a dissertation on Take the High Road, which was a fabulous soap set in Scotland with scenery!

You can still.see it on STV !
I used to watch in school/ college holidays so never really followed the storylines .

thecatdidit · 09/05/2025 21:08

@x2boys I can still hear Mrs shopkeeper saying "Dougal" . I used to love watching that.

thecatdidit · 09/05/2025 21:11

My DH has been going on about Liam saying there's something about him I don't like, he's said it several times now.
He never watched classic Corrie and it's just clicked that he was a baddie in Downton, thanks to @JewelleryCat ☺️

Me too Mrs Mac ( I think🤔) and her hat !
I don't really remember many story lines they did seem to spend a lot of time in the local shop?
Did they also have a local.Laird?

eggandonion · 09/05/2025 21:14

There was no pub in Glendarroch, so social occasions were in the posh hotel! And Davy Sneddon was the local baddy.
Barrow was misunderstood in Downton!

thecatdidit · 09/05/2025 21:18

I remember her hat! And Sneddon the baddy ☺️

x2boys · 09/05/2025 21:30

And I think Moira from emmerdale, was in it mid 90,s ?🤔

Type cast 😂
I could never accept Leanne ,s mum being Cindy beale,😂

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 09/05/2025 21:53

I love Liam, both as Liam and as Mr Barrow!

eggandonion · 09/05/2025 22:03

I think Davy Sneddon should have arrived on the street as Jim McDonald's cousin so he should.

Agree with all of that! Poor Kirkeh indeed, although Fizz seems to have had a change of heart, even though he stole the lyrics from Everything I Own and pretended it was a poem he wrote! 😆

Dident,Boy George do a cover version of everything I own in the 80,s?

thecatdidit · 09/05/2025 22:26

Yes @x2boys Boy George did a cover, as did Ken Boothe (a reggae version, really good actually)

SabreIsMyFave · 09/05/2025 22:35

Yes, Boy George did cover that didn't he? (Everything I own...) Smile Late 1980s. I think it got to No 1.

Bread did the original in 1972, but I Ken Boothe had a bigger hit with a reggae version of it in 1974. (Also got to No 1.)

I am just finishing Thursdays episode! Wow I’m embarrassed for Liz. I wonder if she will apologise when she finds out the truth. She certainly won’t dump Vernon. It will only take Shaun or Betty to tell her what happened.

UrsulasHerbBag · 12/05/2025 11:58

Ah! I see it took Eileen to put her straight.

JewelleryCat · 12/05/2025 14:50

Did I miss the episode where Ashley and Claire named the baby Thomas?

UrsulasHerbBag · 12/05/2025 15:30

I think Ashley did it at the registry office last week. Clur didn’t want to go.
