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!

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

Thank you 🙂 I did miss it, don’t remember him going at all

SabreIsMyFave · 12/05/2025 20:22

Poor Hayley. Sad Being accused of hurting baby Thomas, and then being slapped by Clur. She is clearly lying about her mum being ill. I am assuming she is suffering from Post Natal Depression, but oh my gosh she's so angry all the time, and isn't bonding with the new baby. Sad. Sad

If I remember correctly, things get a lot worse for poor Claire.

She was so horrible to poor Hayley

The arrival of the Conners marked the beginning of the end of decent Corrie storylines for me.

Yeah for me too really although I do find liam attractive 😂
Not sure Corrie get back to.what it was .

eggandonion · 15/05/2025 08:15

I love a bit of Carla.

thecatdidit · 15/05/2025 13:29

It's preposterous as usual, sign this contract of sale. No solicitors' involvement or witness to the signature.
I agree that the Connors marked the decline for me, too.

Yeah it was all a bit daft wasn't it? Could Adam even sell the 40% without consulting Danny? I am not au fait with business dealings and legal stuff but it all seems a bit weird/unlikely.

And so very quick
Liam only turned up.last week and with in a few days he owns 40% of the factory surely irl,you would have valuations and solicitors etc involved 🤔

Whilst I think claire is quite realistic as someone with postnatal depression/ psychosis
It did make my laugh how quickly and efficiently they had her detained under the mental health act ,I used to be a mental health nurse irl,it could take days to co ordinate .

And it’s strange to watch a programme without the “ if you’ve been affected by any of the issues raised in the programme “

TennisWithDeborah · 22/05/2025 19:51

I think that Johnny Briggs and John Savident were big losses in 2006. I don’t mind the Connors but I agree that 2006-2007 was the start of the decline.

Getupat8amnow · 23/05/2025 07:44

I have been watching classic corrie since they were showing the late 1980s. I definitely think that the 80s and 90s were brilliant drama with the right mix of humour, big storylines and character led drama. The Richard Hillman storyline was also fantastic with great writing and acting. So I agree that 2006/7 is the beginning of the decline. I actually wish ITV would go back to showing from the late 80s again as we get two classic corrie years for every actual year due to two episodes each week day. They could start from just after Hilda Ogden left.

UrsulasHerbBag · 23/05/2025 09:56

I’m really cross with Deidre! Bev needed a friend, she was told about the baby in confidence, what good does she think it will do telling Tracey? None whatsoever but it will alert nasty Charlie to the baby. Tracey won’t leave him because she won’t believe it.
Im dreading it when Fred goes, he’s one of my favourite characters of all time. Absolutely agree with it starting to go down hill around this time, all the serial killer and “hard hitting” stuff was just constant over kill.

thenightsky · 23/05/2025 10:07

I think Deirdre was grasping at the Bev's baby news as she's so desperate to get Tracy away from Charlie.

Tbf i can see Deidre,s point here ,she dislikes Charlie as much as Bev does and Tracy is her dsughter
I have zero sympathy for the way Tracy is being treated ,as shes horrible to everyone ,but Deidre is just looking out for her daughter.

Yeah I can see why Deidre has told Tracy, and clearly Bev didn't think about Tracy being Deidre's daughter when she blabbed about Shelley's pregnancy.

She really was silly blabbing. Ken knew as well within 5 minutes. I would never tell anyone ANYthing that I didn't want anyone else to know.

Bev only has herself to blame really. Couldn't keep her gob shut!

I detest that line so much (it seems to be on the end credits of most dramas, soaps, and documentaries, even if there was nothing in it that would have triggered someone!)

I loathe is so much that I switch off the programme, the second the end credits begin, before I hear it! 😖
