omg vera's death was heartbreaking because you could see how broken jack was, it was like he turned into a scared little boy :'( no matter how much they would have fights, they truly loved each other :'(
I’d say Tyrone and Fiz are pretty good- particularly when for a bit of ‘comedy’ in an episode that was mainly about Oliver, Fiz said she’d just realised they were BECOMING Jack and Vera ( she actually looks like a young Vera) and Tyrone said something like “Ok my little swamp duck, I’ll just go and check me’ pigeons.”:in a deliberately gravelly voice. 😂😂
@@masterknife8423 it's become more like Hollyoaks now in many ways. The original premise of coronation Street doesn't really work in many ways now. It was originally based on a very small close knit community, in an era where people hardly ever went more than two streets away from where they lived, had little experience of the outside world, and spent their lives gossiping about eachother. Society has totally changed now, and that kind of soap opera no longer works. Instead, coronation Street has become sensationalist and quite unbelievable in many ways. In the old days it worked because it was based on very mundane experiences that working class people knew well. Everyone knew a Hilda Ogden, Elsie Tanner, Ena Sharples or Annie Walker. As society has changed so much, that has changed too.
Saddest death ever in corrie or even any soap was Stan Ogden, Hilda was perfect in that scene no dialogue just alone with her thoughts very poignant nothing has ever or will ever come near
That tune that was playing on the car radio whilst Derek Wilton was dying from a heart attack called tit willow what a tune to hear ringing in your ears in the final moments of your life.
As weird as this sounds, one thing that I really like about Coronation Street is that when the characters are older - they let them die a natural death on camera - So often times the characters to stay on the show forever or leave to go “live with a relative”
In Corrie land, Blackpool seems to be cursed - first Rita's close shave with Alan Bradley and a tram, then Des Barnes dies immediately after promising Natalie a trip up the tower, and then poor Vera is murdered by the "Sea Air".
@@prochoicenotantivax119As a colleague of mine replied, when asked why she thought someone was stupid for looking forward to going to Blackpool, "It's s*** and full of chavs."
The most poignant moment of Corrie ever when Stan died and you added music?!? The silence is what brings the raw emotion of it. Sorry, but that ruined the video for me.
I'd never seen anything as powerful on tv as when Hilda unwrapped Stans clothes. I was only 12 but it really left an impression. They were part of our lives all those characters.
Especially as we cut to it from Vera being snide about Hilda not crying at the funeral. "Still, y'know what they say. Where there's no sense there's no feeling."
Last death I saw in Classic Corrie was Brendan Scott. People responded as soon as he dropped to the floor. Had it been EastEnders, they’d have spent five minutes shouting his name to see if he was dead. ( and asked if he was ok!)
The fact is that now-a-days we know when characters are going to 'head west' because the Tv guides announce the fact several weeks before the show has even been broadcast. There's no point trying CPR because we know that actor has already been fired.
I can only hope that Mike learned to be a bit more careful when entering a room after his hand in Ernests demise. The robbers were more careful than he was.
The Hilda Ogden sequence never had any background music in the original. The scene as broadcast stood perfectly well without it. Completely spoilt. Why?
I have not watched the show in 20 years, so I don't know a lot of these people. Thank goodness I never had to watch Curlie or Angie Freeman die. That would have destroyed me.

Alma"s death is very emotional,so is Mike's to..The Duckworths death is very touching,all just know to how to pull on the emotional heartstrings 😥😥😥😢😢😢
The death of Mike Baldwin was one of the most ludicrous overkills ever. First, he was diagnosed with dementia, which lasts for years. So to hurry him off, they gave him pneumonia. But he wasn't dying fast enough, so he had a heart attack. I'm only surprised a tram didn't derail and land on him just to make sure. Meanwhile Ken Barlow was cradling him and doing BIG ACTING at him. Just what did Mike do that irritated the scriptwriters that much?
My gran said Ernie's death was really shocking - because in those days we didn't have the internet so when something shocking (like this) happened - you didn't know about it in advance.
Alma's was one of the best deaths. The actress decided to leave the series, but for once, they decided to keep it simple ans realistic. No explosions, no car crashes, no serial killers, just cancer. Similarly the heart attack deaths of Fred, Alf, Judy and Ray - these very 'real' types of death are so much more effective, dramatically. Writers please take note!
why on earth didnt you leave the silent audio alone for Hilda looking at Stans glasses....the most emotional scene ever in corrie.The playout was supposed to be silent and it was ruined.
Does anyone notice when the cat jumps down it doesn't meow when it jumps down meows someone in the show is gonna die pretty cool easter egg if you ask me
Who put that music over the late Jean Alexander's perfect acting when Hilda opened the package of Stans's belongings? The scene was so much better without it
Kienan4321 Do you mean Nicola Wheeler who played Melanie Tindall? Melanie was Maxine's schoolfriend and her bridesmaid at Maxine's and Ashley's wedding. And since 2001, Nicola Wheeler has been in and out of Emmerdale as Nicola Blackstock.
Kienan4321 The only other person I can think of was Joanne Froggatt who played Zoe Tattersall, Ashley's other friend and a friend of Leanne's as well. I don't know if Joanne ever appeared in Emmerdale. Her character, Zoe also knew Judy Mallett, played by Gaynor Faye who also played Megan in Emmerdale. Zoe left with that cult she got involved in, who worshipped this non-existent character called "Nirab", who they had an illustration of (an anagram of the executive producer, Brian Park who helped improve Corrie's ratings from 1997 to 1999) that she followed after the death of her daughter, Shannon.
