Coronation Street - August 1982

[@teenabrunk83]

Classic Coronation St has no equal today! Everyone who carried the show is gone!

[@ginagina9720]

Apart from Ken Barlow Emily bishop bet lynch Rita fairclough Gail tilsey Mavis and a couple more characters I know jack and Vera Eddie Yates Betty mrs walker albert tatlock Deirdre as passed so sad really we’ve lost some lovely characters

[@theculturedthug6609]

Can't believe Corrie never got Eddie Yates back at sone points over the years. He was one of the best loved characters on the show and he was working a lot over the years.

Hilda is so lovely to Eddie, keeping an eye on him

[@elterrifico9522]

RIP Johnny Briggs.

[@lawrencejhutchinson]

Such a brilliant decision to cast Jean Alexander as Hilda in 1964! Betty Driver missed out, but joined Corrie in 1969.

[@ginagina9720]

Both great characters I think Hilda left in 1987 I’m not sure when Betty Turpin left

[@0ldvids]

As a younger person Hilda made me cringe, now I see her as quite a well developed character. They wrote quite clever retorts to lazy Stan and Eddie (the likeable twicer).

Marion is so horrible, I can't believe she is treating Eddie like this, she seems to expect him to wait around while she chooses between Eddie and Phil, but why should he!

[@professionalgun6674]

Exactly, you find a few of these kind of frustrating abnormalities in some storylines and this one is really annoying, but I find Marion annoying anyway. I also find it frustrating when important information isn't told by the one who knows it to the one who needs to know asap. I also don't like it when Gail always stops Brian from fighting or arguing, but that's a different subject.

[@itallia666]

Im sick of people pulling Eddie & Marian to pieces Saying very derogatory things about Marian! Today's society is so obsessed with their looks, having fillers & Injections, surgery so much so that women AND men start looking all the same, plastic Barbie & Ken dolls. Anyone with natural looks & interesting faces have much more character, some people have such unusual looks they are never forgotten & have often become very famous film stars Give me someone with interesting looks any day! I think Marian is cute & sweet Eddie is a lovable Teddy Bear With a heart of gold I know its their characters but Together the actors make their parts work very well, they are just so believable because of their great acting skills They are the Mach 2 of Stan & Hilda ! Ive never known how they worked out in the series, maybe It will be shown sooner or later Thanks 🇬🇧👧

[@williamf4544]

Yes i agree Marian was a good looking woman - always reminded me of Queen Victoria for some reason

[@soniaclarkstewart]

I think they’re a cute couple and I thought it was great how she went searching for him in Liverpool.

[@teresabyrne855]

Well said🙂

[@bethshields4903]

I think they should’ve kept marion and Eddie in. They really worked and yes you’re right it was ordinary looking people living in ordinary houses and that was the big appeal and it still is to me. I still watch things that are very realistic rather than watching TV programs about middle-class people that are all doctors lawyers etc, living in big Plush houses, Real life isn’t like that for most people.

They should make today’s “ writers” of Coronation St in a room to binge watch what made the St great, because there is NOTHING great about it now, constant drivel, dragging storylines on until they die of old age, depressing storylines every episode, far from being an uplifting half hour watch, with a bit of comedy thrown in, its just soooo miserable and depressing, after being a life long Corrie fan, I’m done, back to the old days....there’s comfort here.

I knew straight off when after a 2nd date with Mike she managed to question his machinists about the ins & outs & profitability of his company She buttonholed him from the onset! I thought Mike had become oblivious to the scheming minx & Was swallowing all her piffle But i was pleasantly surprised when he refused to loan her the money! I dont even believe she did borrow the £3,000 from another backer, shes a real player that one! She knew Mike would be intrigued & wondering about someone who would lend her the money so quickly. So hed eventually tell her to drop this mystery backer & give her the real £3,000 !!! Lets hope hes not that stupid! Cheers 🇬🇧👧

The Bookies wife was played by Sue Johnson who played a main Character, Sheila Grant in Brookside, the as then new Channel 4 She was also in a superb series Starring Trevor Eve as a police detective on Cold Cases & Sue Johnson was a forensic pathologist with her team I think the series was called Cold Case, but im not sure of that! I love Sue Johnson, shes a 1st class actress & if shes in any tv show or film then i know it will be great! Ive said this before but honestly theirs not ONE redeeming quality about fred gee Hes a disgusting vile creature No manners, selfish, greasy & Creepy, foul tempered, dishonest Cunning, sly, bullying, I mainly skip the storylines featuring him! I disliked him intensely when he 1st appeared in Corrie years back & having seen him in these old episodes my dislike has only intensified. I may be casting the man in a bad way but for someone who plays the abhorent fred so well makes me think hes very much like the character he plays. Why Corrie kept him in the show i dont know! Very few viewers liked him & it was mainly women & if they are anything like me Then.... well i shall leave it there! Trillions of thanks PG66 You have made many people happy Regards 🇬🇧👧
