There’s actually a lot of talent within the Corrie ranks but nostalgia freaks like you would rather live in the past. The likes of Leanne and Carla are played by fantastic actresses.
@@carlaconnor8347 that's one version. You're partly correct. However it's nothing to do with nostalgia. Corrie in its original concept showed life in the North of England. It was an exciting, ground breaking series, that reduced the upper and middle class nonsense, that came before it. If you'd listened to Pat you'd have understood that. Today's actors in many aspects are just as good. However the storylines are not as believable. Or As strong.
Never been much into soaps. Eastenders is just plain depressing and unreal. However Coronation Street, in the past, was an exception. Watched it regularly in the days of Elsie. It had a magic then, which has long gone.
What a wonderful lady she was. Just like all the old stars of that time, Jean Alexander, Noele Gordon - they were big big British stars. We should be very proud of them. Coronation Street is no longer the same today.
I love what Pat and Jean Alexander brought to the show so much that I stopped channel surfing and became glued to the show in university. I just started watching the youtube posted series starting at 1976. What a thrill to enjoy them all over again. Thelma Barlow just returned to film at 94 yrs of age to do a comedy. She’s so adorable.
I passed her in a Chinese restaurant in Bury St. Edmunds with her then husband Alan Browning. She'd appeared at the Theatre Royal. She was a classy lady!
Very loving and caring lady; I remember her once saying when she was asked which way she was going to vote in a General Election (donkeys years ago) and she said Labour of course! She didn’t believe in those that came from not so well off backgrounds, and then all of a sudden became Tory because now they had money and so didn’t matter about others. She never forgot her roots.
Hello The first ever appearance of my string trio 'Humoreske' was on this episode if anyone has a copy! Please weve been trying to find someonz who has it for 35 years!!🙏🙏🙏
"I hope it will go on, it's become part of the British way of life" If only she knew. Every episode today a variety of wrong-doing and crime. They think they're filming the Sweeney every week. It's bloody awful. Everyday life? Far from it. The fun's all gone.
