CORONATION STREET - JULY 1989 EPISODES 2949 - 2957 (All 9 Episodes) This content doesn't belong to me, it belongs to the people who made it. Property of ITV. I claim no rights and make no profit. This is just for entertainment.
@PendleWitch01 Who can blame him? I find Audrey so irritating that she makes my whole body itch! I can't stand her facial expressions, the way she drags out her words, and the way she treats Alf.
Gail is infatuated with Nicky being clean. Just how many times can the poor lad be sent upstairs to either wash his hands, have a bath or to clean his teeth.
It always makes me laugh when out of the blue, one of the characters appears with a lovely tan. This time, it's Dierdre, Sally, Jack, Mike and Ken who all have smashing tans...the type you don't get from a Sunday stroll along Blackpool prom. I'm sure the actors concerned all had recent tropical holidays...
So Gail goes straight from handling money at the till to making Percy's teacake with her bare hands without washing them. I'm guessing the food safety handbook was a lot thinner in those days.
I wrote to Greggs about that as staff did the same in our local shop. Their reply was the usual waffle and no one way would they have someone working solely as a cashier.
Dawn sounds like she’s just delivering a monologue rather than smoothing things over with Rita. “All over and done with and I can get on with my life…”. Yeah, til autumn 😬
I cannot abide Wendy Crozier, sneaky council secretary, but she does seem a good match for Ken Barlow: in terms of smugness, self-righteousness, craftiness and bouncy blonde hairdos. Why Deirdre didn't stick with Mike in 1983, goodness knows, but if she had, I suppose she'd have deprived Alma - who's desperate and abrasive at present, but eventually softens to vulnerable and lovable - of her best storylines to come.
Some observations... Percy... never liked his character. Jack and Vera... best soap couple ever. Ken... smug, smarmy git. So many brilliant, strong female characters. Why has it changed so much? They're so weak now. And I didn't remember that Mike's factory made curtains back then!
The producers have gone for quantity rather than quality in terms of characters, and sensationalist story lines over strong characterisation. It takes a long time to develop a character, and cast members come and go at a far greater rate than they in the first 20+ years. Not only that, but the programme has been increasingly used as a platform for highlighting specific social issues. I don't think this should be absent from soaps, but it works far better when it's woven in and refers to existing characters, rather than seemingly introducing multiple characters intended specifically to achieve that. But that's what you get when you triple the output.
If I was Deidre, I would start talking to the gazette.. take them down to all the homeless and try to get them to write the story her beloved husband wdnt write.
If I was Deirdre I would have hired a private investigator to follow Ken for a few weeks, find the mole he was meeting with and got them sacked, then divorced Ken for being a smug, arrogant prawn.
@@tazzie2shoos…have you any idea just how much those people charge, you’re talking a couple of hundred a day or more, they don’t follow people round for the minimum wage.
@@deborahwatson2730 I do, but I guess it depends how important it is to you. In 1 or 2 weeks a PI can catch a lot of info for you. I would do it, even if I had to tighten my belt drastically, so I could get on with the rest of my life. People will pay over £1k for a mobile phone, buy cars, widescreen tvs, holidays - but they won't invest in finding out if they are being taken for a ride.
Gail is a demon. Gone all day and the few hours a week she does see her kids she is screaming at them and telling them to shut up. What kind of mother says that to her child?
@@masterknife8423 obviously it’s not real, what a weird comment to make. I still have opinions on the show and the characters. Especially when it’s a “soap opera” you get pretty into the characters. It’s the whole point. I don’t even understand why you would point out that TV isn’t real life?! Yeah, water is wet……we all know that. I still stand by my original comment
That Don character in the cafe just barged in and got served before the poor extra woman - Must think he is better than her because she dont have a speaking part and cant complain
Alec is hilarious. Ken is blah. Deirdre is dull. Alma is awful. Audrey is aggghhh. Mike is smoooth. Vera is LOUD. Jacko is whacko. Gail is a wail. Alf is awww. Sally is shouty. Bet is bubbly. Jenny is ten a penny….Tina is a tease…..please feel free to add
To me this is he beginning of the end of quality for Coronation Street. The car rubbish!! Yawn, yawn, yawn! Alma too obviously annoying! And Tina really lightweight. Implausible story lines! Why??? Before this I couldn't fault it!!
I remember my Gran saying she was speaking to someone who went to school with that Wendy Crozier character and she said she was just the same back then always grassing the other kids off - Windbag Wendy the used to call her
