This is Corrie as it was meant to be. Lighthearted and amusing with hints of everyday dramas that everyone could relate to. It's a great break from the overly intense, suck the fun out of a bouncy castle Corrie of today

[@sunnyjim1355]

Agreed, yet those "everyday dramas" are stacked FULL of social commentary.

[@ohwell94]

Same here

[@MorganHaino97]

Couldn't agree more, I do wonder when Coronation Street stopped being lighthearted

[@shanemanchester]

This show used to make me chuckle so much....then it stopped making me chuckle...haven’t watched it in over 10 year. 😓

[@francesgillotti1378]

I watched it all when I was ill. 1960ish to 2018 all my favorites died off 🥲

[@Assistant36]

@@francesgillotti1378 oh eck I hadn't thought of having to watch all of my favourites die off. I very nearly cried when Valerie Barlow suddenly died. Was such a well acted shock (no pun intended) that I needed a Brandy myself but I don't have any haha. Hope you're still well ❤️

Innocent and realistic, without all the over the top unrealistic drama.

[@neilmorton945]

Superior writing back then, It had a pulse. Drama reflects life, and their life's had a inoceence to them, but still maintaining that harshness, that gritty feel along with emmence humour. Unfortunately we've seen it all now, lives hold little or no surprises anymore. 🙁😟

[@dominewimbury2039]

Irma cracks me up! That "me mam" gets me every time I watch this. Wish she had longer in the show or could come back. Hope the actress is still alive?

[@rogertemple7313]

Coronation Street from the 60's,70's,& 80's Were more of a comedy-drama, soap opera, with Stan &Hilda,Jack&Vera,Ena,Martha,Minnie,Eddie, & the Rover's staff, Before I started watching Coronation Street I was used to watching the Sitcoms of the U.K. here on Public tv, My fave is Last of the Summer Wine and that's where I'm used to seeing Jean Alexander as Auntie Wainwright and Geoffrey Hughes I'm used to seeing him on Keeping Up Appearances as Onslow seeing them here on Corrie they make it a humorous show."-🤗.🌐🏘🌐.

Stan looks so thin here

[@booth2710]

I have a theory. I think when soap stars first joint a soap they are always thin ... after a while they soon e to put weight on and I think it's because they eat more because they have found themselves in steady employment and can afford to eat more !

Stan really was a lazy good for nothing, Hilda worshipped him, or should I say felt obliged to because she was married to her, he treated like a doormat most of the time, as he got older he became worse, right down to swiping money out of her purse and selling her stuff for booze money. On screen it was great, but can you imagine living with someone like that in real life

[@Uksoapfan]

Stan was a lazy scrounger. Hilda wanted better from life but Stan never delivered, so they ended up staying in their grotty backstreet house at No 13.

[@kuchikopi4616]

I am just happy Hilda had a good life in the end, a nice cottage in the country and a proposal from Dr Lowther.
