Classic Coronation Street 2nd April 1980

[@VincentRE79]

This was Coronation Street at it's peak.

[@paulmcdonald3011]

21 years of golden television history disappeared at 22:30 with Ena Sharples last scene :(

[@kathleenmccann2111]

coronation is always good i love watching it

[@notonyournelly5475]

The street changed hugely from 1980 to 1990

[@peterdockrill9653]

Losing the actors born in the 19 century ,plus bert and elsie, gradually Turning Gail into a psycho ,Mike Baldwin becoming more rapacious,bringing in the Webster's and giving the duckworths a more prominent role ruined it for me

[@notonyournelly5475]

@@peterdockrill9653 yes. Totally agree with you. I haven't seen it for 20 odd years. Are any of these characters still in it. I'm guessing not?

the barber shop choir scene with Fred getting booted off was comedy gold ,so was Annies face !

Ena was pure gold!!!

[@BridgLondon]

This was the final appearance of Ena Sharples.

Thanks. 😀

Where's all the Fairclough's money coming from all of a sudden? Saunas, shopping, walnut salads lol It wasn't too long back they were checking the settee for spare change to pay off a loan and asking the Langtons for money!

[@frazzleface753]

I always got the feeling that Fred Gee (Fred Feast) relished the opportunity to do something different.

I wish he would've- then I could have tried to chat Eunys up x

[@josephlandrut4154]

People who following Coronation street will remember most of the actors because they all have two parts to play fact and fiction.

[@bestgrimbarianever]

a travesty that a legend like ena sharples didn't get a proper send-off and final scene...

[@jokerz7936]

It wasn't meant to be her send off. She was having health issues and left because of them but they thought at the time she would return at some point. Unfortunately her health continued to decline and it never happened.

[@dianabah9397]

What happened to Steve nd who is the new girl at the factory -with the glasses?? I don't see many episodes for January and March.

[@stevebbuk]

Steve got moved to Mike's London factory and Mike poached Pauline Stringer from Aspinall's. However when she granted the workers a shopping hour Mike countermanded the order and she quit saying he had undermined her authority.

[@Shamimsie797]

i can't believe that they had Ena leaving the show at the end because she didn't feel welcome to stay for a week or two at no 1 Coronation Street

[@jimdavis3435]

Ivy left after her second marriage to Don turned sour and he cheated on her...she retreated to a convent where she died in her sleep from a heart attack!!!

[@sherilee6273]

Norma Bates why are you so rude. If you don’t like the show then move along.

[@charlesdixon52]

Can she just serve without asking personal questions I hate to buy a condom in there
