Apart from Ken Barlow Emily bishop bet lynch Rita fairclough Gail tilsey Mavis and a couple more characters I know jack and Vera Eddie Yates Betty mrs walker albert tatlock Deirdre as passed so sad really we’ve lost some lovely characters
Can't believe Corrie never got Eddie Yates back at sone points over the years. He was one of the best loved characters on the show and he was working a lot over the years.
As a younger person Hilda made me cringe, now I see her as quite a well developed character. They wrote quite clever retorts to lazy Stan and Eddie (the likeable twicer).
Marion is so horrible, I can't believe she is treating Eddie like this, she seems to expect him to wait around while she chooses between Eddie and Phil, but why should he!
Exactly, you find a few of these kind of frustrating abnormalities in some storylines and this one is really annoying, but I find Marion annoying anyway. I also find it frustrating when important information isn't told by the one who knows it to the one who needs to know asap. I also don't like it when Gail always stops Brian from fighting or arguing, but that's a different subject.
Im sick of people pulling Eddie & Marian to pieces Saying very derogatory things about Marian! Today's society is so obsessed with their looks, having fillers & Injections, surgery so much so that women AND men start looking all the same, plastic Barbie & Ken dolls. Anyone with natural looks & interesting faces have much more character, some people have such unusual looks they are never forgotten & have often become very famous film stars Give me someone with interesting looks any day! I think Marian is cute & sweet Eddie is a lovable Teddy Bear With a heart of gold I know its their characters but Together the actors make their parts work very well, they are just so believable because of their great acting skills They are the Mach 2 of Stan & Hilda ! Ive never known how they worked out in the series, maybe It will be shown sooner or later Thanks 🇬🇧👧
I think they should’ve kept marion and Eddie in. They really worked and yes you’re right it was ordinary looking people living in ordinary houses and that was the big appeal and it still is to me. I still watch things that are very realistic rather than watching TV programs about middle-class people that are all doctors lawyers etc, living in big Plush houses, Real life isn’t like that for most people.
They should make today’s “ writers” of Coronation St in a room to binge watch what made the St great, because there is NOTHING great about it now, constant drivel, dragging storylines on until they die of old age, depressing storylines every episode, far from being an uplifting half hour watch, with a bit of comedy thrown in, its just soooo miserable and depressing, after being a life long Corrie fan, I’m done, back to the old days....there’s comfort here.
@@lorraineydays57 lmao, me too. This arvo I decided to see if there’s any episodes from 64. A very young Ken Barlow goes into his bedroom, throws himself on the bed, low and behold the lamp shade is crooked, I had to laugh 🤣
Knew I recognised Mrs Chadwick! The actress ( Sue Johnstone) was Sheila Grant on Brookside, then years later ( recently) she was Gladys Denker in Downton Abbey!
I remember and loved the 70s & 80s of coronation street, some great characters including the laughs with Stan and Hilda, I also liked bet lynch she also enjoyed a laugh 😅, I also liked jack and Vera for a laugh 😂 and Eddie had a GSOH but all the characters were great 👍
Oh i say! Maggie the Flower Lady resembles a Great White Shark! Those cold cold lethal eyes are un Nerving! I knew straight off when after a 2nd date with Mike she managed to question his machinists about the ins & outs & profitability of his company She buttonholed him from the onset! I thought Mike had become oblivious to the scheming minx & Was swallowing all her piffle But i was pleasantly surprised when he refused to loan her the money! I dont even believe she did borrow the £3,000 from another backer, shes a real player that one! She knew Mike would be intrigued & wondering about someone who would lend her the money so quickly. So hed eventually tell her to drop this mystery backer & give her the real £3,000 !!! Lets hope hes not that stupid! Cheers 🇬🇧👧
When Mikes dad died, Deidre said Mike had no siblings, when in fact that wasnt true. Mike had a brother called Harry, who raised his (Mikes) son Danny (Bradley Walsh), thinking he was his own. Mike had an affair with Harrys wife Viv.
A Fred G. storyline is such fun. Poor Fred nothing comes easily to him. Someone describing Fred: "It's like trying to deal with a fifteen stone toddler".
Lol at Mavis!...She tells Rita that she's got her budgies egg in her bra...Then Eddie walks in and says that he has a mate who's a specialist on Finches and Tits! Great scene and dialogue
In my late 50s and watching these old Corrie episodes that I ordered the pint and half pint glasses that are being used at the rovers - Two “new year/xmas/bank holidays” later - not used them as everything in cans! 😂😂😂
Eddy is so sweet when trying explain to Mavis why the egg won't hatch.☺ Omg😮 she has the egg in her bra😂 Mike ripe for the kill😂 I love Stan he looks like a big old walrus 😙
He was a good enough actor - his character wasnt that likeable - a reflection of real life - how many people in real life do you like - not that many for me
I never found him that bad. Reminds me of people I’ve worked with in the military. I know he lost a wife in some type of accident but haven’t seen any episodes on that. To me he seems a miserable aging, lonely man with not much to look forward to.
I could have sworn the first time I saw Bette, her eyes were blue! Maybe the colored contacts she wore irritated her eyes. And I think that she had a slight nose job, too!
The Bookies wife was played by Sue Johnson who played a main Character, Sheila Grant in Brookside, the as then new Channel 4 She was also in a superb series Starring Trevor Eve as a police detective on Cold Cases & Sue Johnson was a forensic pathologist with her team I think the series was called Cold Case, but im not sure of that! I love Sue Johnson, shes a 1st class actress & if shes in any tv show or film then i know it will be great! Ive said this before but honestly theirs not ONE redeeming quality about fred gee Hes a disgusting vile creature No manners, selfish, greasy & Creepy, foul tempered, dishonest Cunning, sly, bullying, I mainly skip the storylines featuring him! I disliked him intensely when he 1st appeared in Corrie years back & having seen him in these old episodes my dislike has only intensified. I may be casting the man in a bad way but for someone who plays the abhorent fred so well makes me think hes very much like the character he plays. Why Corrie kept him in the show i dont know! Very few viewers liked him & it was mainly women & if they are anything like me Then.... well i shall leave it there! Trillions of thanks PG66 You have made many people happy Regards 🇬🇧👧
It amazes me that folk continually rubbish uncle Albert the character survives the 14-18 war & he’s expected to be a ray of sunshine 😂 men today would be shot for cowardice as there are hardly any real men left just big girls blouses with a whiff of testosterone i’d rather have a country full of Alberts than what we have now.
Right! And when you're as old as he is, you've earned the right to be a curmudgeon. All these people saying how miserable he is will find out for themselves, should they live so long.
I think it's because most of them can't imagine what's it's like to see boys, your pals being killed in front of you and having no time to grieve. Because of them most of us will never know or understand the price that was paid for our freedom. LEST WE FORGET ❤🇬🇧❤
1:51:05 Gawd 'elp us. Only thing they had between them were her nashers. Favourite cuisine, lettuce and carrots. Supplied by Mike Baldwins gold digger. I, think Rita might have been taking Len to the cleaners since they first broke up and he hit her. First she whinged about wanting central heating and a better kitchen in their house. Now she wants the new house and gets it. Be sure to tune in next week, to see Mavis witter on so much she almost lays an egg?
1.03.18 - Ken shows his lefty liberal tendencies once more. Perhaps if he could have seen 40 years into the future, he might realise how wrong he was and how correct Alf, Emily and Uncle Albert were.
You should mound like a right wing moron, one thing I learned young wa ms that liberal people are good and conservatives are hypocritical corrupt and evil.
