I love old Corrie, I wouldn't give tuppence for today's Corrie....

[@notniamh2940]

I wish the Trio of Ena Sharples Martha Longhurst and Minnie Caldwell was still in corrie

[@GLBizzie]

Noooooo they would’ve given them rubbish storys

[@denisesiddon7241]

Same here especially if Ena and Evelyn cross paths. They'll definitely clash as too similar

[@mirandawinstead6540]

A supercentenarian trio?

[@shorelineboy]

What a great wonderful treat , great old corrie. ❤

[@williamf4544]

The Ogdens oldest two kids were taken into care - although Stan and Hilda mellowed as they got older and became better people they paid for their early mistakes - Irma emigrated and was never in touch and Trevor moved away and they only seen him when he wanted something - a reflection of a lot of families backgrounds i think

[@Stiffd1]

william f Fiction but true!

[@Eurafrican]

I don't know Corrie anywhere near as well as EastEnders which I grew up watching, so learning this is interesting and I wish the 2018 Corrie stuck to socially relevant, true to life stories like this which the audience can easily relate to.

[@mirandawinstead6540]

Tbh I've never known anyone who had a breakdown and smashed up their own shop or business

[@williamf4544]

@@mirandawinstead6540 So are you saying it couldnt happen ?

[@Lucy0809]

Worst mistake ever inflicting the bloody Ogdens on people 😢

[@xavcarmic0686]

Me mum went to Fallowfield Central School with Florrie and Elsie Tanner, early 1930s.

2.27 "Its only tomato sauce!" I hope the trousers were red, then, Stan, or that'd be one of the worst stains to have on them when you need to look smart!

[@missjudacia7230]

Eee the hygiene! Hand in a shoe,shoe on table and the same hand handling bread- shrubbing with carbolic and bleach cones to mind

[@clairmarie3130]

Ha lazy butt Stan deserved it lol. Funny how he didn't want her to touch his jacket.

[@carolineg1872]

I think people had higher resistance then.

[@alisongrace4334]

[@arthurvasey]

Did Hilda forget her lines - calling Irma Freda?

[@alliemaria532]

Think freda was irmas real name

[@denisesiddon7241]

She was originally Freda and Trevor was Dudley

[@denisesiddon7241]

Wish Hilda was still on here

[@chicagogyrl4846]
