These episodes are so addictive. How am I supposed to get any work done?

[@ksc9954]

Pmsl im the same spent hours watching them

[@Ross.Cavendish]

Yes, you're right! I have now started to watch them in date sequence.

[@ara8253]

Tell me about it! Several weeks ago, 3 at most, I started from the first episode in 1960 and am up to here now. I search YT for each year for all episodes available, including the complete 1970 and 1971. It's addictive. Oddly I can clearly remember having watched the episodes from the 1960s when I was just a kid. I'm 72 now and I remember Martha passing. One downside of binge watching is that the long term characters who always irritated me, like Langton and Fairclough, are more so in a binge watch. Conversely Ena comes across better, Minnie is a sweetheart and Tatlock is just, well, Tatlock. I hope I've liked all the episodes I've watched. I've used AuntiCorrie as the base work but thanks go to all posters of old Corrie episodes.

Jerry would have made a very good wife 😂

[@geenasmith7209]

Blanche was pretty when she was young. She looks like Emma Thompson

[@vinniex3098]

I agree. She was a fine looking woman

[@andywright3450]

Peter Adamson Was a class actor sadly missed

[@darganx]

Had a lot of personal demons but agreed, v.good actor.

[@1990-t1j]

Burnley fan.

[@stevenhighams4190]

I saw him that year and got his autograph. I've still got it for some reason.

[@andicampbell8621]

He was a fuckin nonce FFS

[@mikehudson8884]

It's so odd how Anne Kirkbride and Maggie Jones morphed into each other as the years went on. They really did look and sound like Mother and daughter....Brilliant casting.

[@vinniex3098]

Ray Langton had the look of the late Richard Beckinsale. I think it was the hair

[@darganx]

They could have played brothers at this point! There is a link: in one of his early appearances he's living with his sister, played by Paula Wilcox, who shortly after stars with Beckinsale in the Jack Rosenthal comedy The Lovers.

[@reginajohnson353]

Rays hair looks like the prototype for Darth Vader! Or a haircut for a cocker spaniel

[@darganx]

That was the look for men in the mid-70s, House of Stuart chic. Dennis Waterman, Richard Beckinsale, Richard O'Sullivan etc.. even Kevin Keegan! They all had that style then.

[@alexanderjones9572]

Only person who was at the wedding still alive now is Rita. Ray-dead. Deirdre-dead. Blanche-dead. Len-dead. Jerry-dead. (and all in dead in reality too.)

[@booth2710]

I didn't realize Neville Buswell had passed away as well ...

[@annoldham3018]

@@booth2710 yes. Not that long ago. End of 2020 I think 🤔.

[@woohooboy]

@@lyn4108 - He played Ray Langton.

[@MsTinkerbelle87]

Ugh :(

[@PacyMitchEditz]

​@@annoldham3018 he died december 2019 aged 75

[@Sugarbehr1967]

Wow. Look at Deidre and Blanche. So young. :)

[@vinniex3098]

The nurse with Stan Ogden went on to appear in Eastenders as Patrick Trueman’s ex wife. I remember the face, though she was much younger here.

[@darganx]

Mona Hammond. She was in an earlier episode in the hospital after the coach crash.

[@mljm_mljm]

@@darganxThe actress is Connie Skinner-Carter. Not Mona Hammond!

[@darganx]

@@mljm_mljm My bad, cheers

[@swaggerjagg22]

Diedre could have done way better that Langton (even if the actor has done an amazing job as Ray)

[@michaelgregory8322]

I thought the opposite

[@lyn4108]

Years later they got Ray Langton back, he sadly had heart attack in the rover's pub🥲🙏

[@chicagogyrl4846]

Getting married in a coat! The guests look better than she does!! 🤣😂

[@carolineg1872]

I think the Corrie writers rewrote this quickly as they changed their minds about Deirdre and Billy. They knew more sparks would fly between these two.

[@stevenhighams4190]

Kenneth Farrington left over a contract/money issue, otherwise, she would have married Billy instead. It did work better with Ray, though.

[@vinniex3098]

To think there was no Tracy Barlow yet and Steve McDonald had just celebrated his first birthday!

[@cn4936]

Stan complaining about the waiting around in hospitals 🤣 Fast forward nigh on 50 years old Stan, it's 1000x worse.

[@aprilfisher4947]

Pretty sure she's expecting tracey here .

[@stevenhighams4190]

No, she wasn't. Hilda was being spiteful.

[@carolineg1872]

Same registry office used for Mavis and Derek's wedding I think. 🤔

[@williamf4544]

And Alf and Reenie

[@williamf4544]

I feel so sorry for married folk - must be grim

[@vinniex3098]

Yep it can be 😂

[@connied2451]

Ray's hair looks like a bad wig in this one!

[@SkyeandsSummer]

what does that hair look like if that's not enough to put you off nothing will 💇💇💇

[@alexanderjones9572]

Sure Blackadder had hair like that on one series!

[@booth2710]

that was a most ridiculous hair style - even for those days !

[@annoldham3018]

It was quintessential 70s. My cousin got married in 1977 and her husband had hair just like this. My mum never let me have long hair as a kid and I was jealous of all these men with flowing tresses. 😆

[@jasbegs1258]

He generally had lovely hair .

[@LouiseGroenewald-hj2vo]

We still called her Deirdre Langton right up u til her last episode

[@MsTinkerbelle87]

I just realized I have never in my life seen Blanche young 🤯 Unrecognizable if it weren’t for her great voice haha 3:00 there she is!!! Ta Auntie!

[@stephenwoodman6015]

Ray needed a haircut!!!

[@michealbrett1983]

I love you coronation street fan micheál

[@MyMargo111]

And to think she ends up with Ken.😊

[@francesgillotti1378]

This is before bathrooms . It was hard then .

[@benclasper2883]

Some hasn’t taken care of that vtr clock sign at the beginning.

[@kevinlongman007]

Six years later she married Ken Barlow.

[@Sarah-z1f6c]

What happened between Billy and Deirdre?

[@carolineg1872]

They just got disinterested and dumped each other, she then went onto a having a fling with Maurice Gordon, then back to where she originally started, dating Ray.

[@martinpensom5103]

It was because Billy used the money he had saved for the wedding to get Bet home from Spain as she missed the flight! Deidre went berserk with him!

[@analogueandy8x10]

Is Langton wearing a lampshade on his head? No wait... that's his hair!

[@geenasmith7209]

😂

[@Footprinces]

Haha 😛

[@andrewwatson5992]

Wood you be able to do the year of 75 and 76 and 73

[@muk8804]

Anyone from Salford area? Not sure if the "register office" is in the buildings in Buile Hill Park ?

[@mohammaddavoudian7897]

Len drinking Champaign out of the tray🙂

[@maryannenagle9985]

The women most of them so attractive. But the men! out of shape, scruffy really bad hair thank god i was a child in the 70s.

[@Ross.Cavendish]

In the 70s, I had the hots for Ray Langton and Billy Walker.

[@annoldham3018]

So was I. Remember the men's hairdos back then. We had a barber/hairdresser called David Charles in our town who looked like Jesus in hippy clothes. He was extremely gentle and having a shampoo by him was amazing. But his salon had all these pictures of men looking like spaniels. 😂😂😂 And the salon was brown of course with orange sinks. 😳🥰

[@rollinstone5217]

@MaryAnn. You got a point there, with the exception of Ken Barlow in my opinion.

[@stevenhighams4190]

A bit shallow, aren't you? If I made a comment like that about the women, you'd be calling me a misogynist and telling me that it's what's underneath that counts. Only one way, it would seem...

[@SkyeandsSummer]

Rita and Blanche looks better than dedrie 👀

[@abcat131]

Is she going to smoke that 🚬

[@cherylreznor181]

I cant make out what someone said just before the second part starts to play. I keep trying to listen to it, but i just can not make it out what they are saying? Can anyone else make out what was is said and then tell me lol, it sounds like blanche talking x

[@cn4936]

It's the direction crew. It's not the actors. The direction crew are just messing around I think. 'Oh Tommy cut that speed', is what is said.

[@JanePilkington]

That Ray is such a jerk. None of these guys is much of a catch. You can just see a short marriage.

[@gilgameshofuruk4060]

Hmmm. I give it three years and two and a half months.
