I always fast forward on boring bits. Kevin and Sally and the car stuff is terrible!

[@MosesDeLaRoses]

The only vaguely interesting thing about that storyline is that the guy who played Mark Casey played Herbie in Dead Man's Shoes

[@Ksim3000]

Welcome to the 21st century! Back in 1989 you had no choice but to watch Kevin and Sally and the car saga.. 😂

[@startracker5895]

Kevin and Sally were very boring characters back then. Their sickly sweet marriage was intolerable! Luckily Natalie Horrocks saved the day and ruined their marriage! 🙈😂

[@morrieholmes6384]

Thank you so much for all these months of being able to watch classic Corrie events. I grew up in New Zealand with mum and dad watching this wonderful programme. I wouldn't call it it a soap like many would agree as Bill Roach thinks as well. So great to see the beginnings if relationship's like those of Sally and Rita and of course Alma and Mike. I would say I have never seen the episodes of the past 88 and 89 at all. So it is fantastic to see the build up of what have have seen later on. For example I had seen Alan Bradley with the deeds of the house and the next thing I saw of this storyline was him and Rita in Blackpool.. and now Sally is calling Mrs Roberts Audrey. Lmao 🤣 just so greatfull with what I am seeing. And thank you so much again. I did see in July that alma was in the bar spoke to Mike had a red Blazer on and then flicked to the rovers backroom, when filming came back to the bar on the same episode Alma was wearing a red Blazer. So sorry to go on. But it's just a blast and a privilege to see what I am watching Take care All. It is said with thoughts and well wishes to everyone who may see my comment all around the world 🌎.

You’re very welcome Morrie, glad you’re enjoying it down there in NZ! 😉

Sorry. My mistake. Was a red Blazer that Alma was wearing then it became a cream Blazer. Such a brilliant actress she is.

Alma at first wasnt particularly likeable then loved her character after that.

Percy is a legend

[@MosesDeLaRoses]

Percy's right about a lot of things. The man fought and beat the Bosch. Scumbags like Kevin Webster and boaster boys like Des Barnes would be speaking German if it wasn't for him, yet all they could do was make fun of him

@AriAdu he’s talking about Eddie Yeats and Stan Ogden… both absolute legends from the 70s and early 80s!

[@bsaunders5271]

The one good thing that comes from the irritating twosome Audrey and Alma, is that Alma gives Audrey a taste of her own medicine. Audrey has been getting away with her terrible behaviour for years, so it's good to see Alma keeping her on her toes. I could cheerfully throttle them both though

I always backed Mike against Ken who was way too self satisfied and smarmy for his own good. Loved to see Mike getting one over on him.

[@carasmith549]

I liked Mike but he was very shady when he sold the factory as a "going concern" knowing full well it was going to be closed and demolished for housing. He cheated his workers of their redunancies, to keep all his profit from the sale for himself. It was fair dues when Dawn's brother conned him shortly afterwards.

I find it really sad to see how badly Audrey treats poor Alf. I know what he sees in her, and she does lighten him up with her sense of fun, but she takes outrageous liberties. She is so shallow, dizzy, and worst of all, disrespectful to the person who gave her a decent life. Once a tomcat, always a tomcat.

He's obviously going to print it. That wd b a terrible way to have to live... having to edit yourself because your husband will put whatever u tell him in the paper...

[@MosesDeLaRoses]

I read somewhere that Bryan Quinten bad-mouthed his fellow cast members something rotten. He fancied himself a Hollywood star, and thought he was above life on the cobbles. Maybe killing Ar' Brian off and barely ever mentioning him again was a way of teaching Boaster Boy a lesson

[@jamesmorrison4581]

Oh no it weren't. In the 70s your electricity was switched off between certain hours,bins were Pilling up in the streets & the dead were left unburied. The 80s were fantastic. Thatcher crushed the Marxists of the 70s who were running the country into the ground. We had a backbone & no absolute loonytoon woke nonsense. You could also have an opinion without being "cancelled" for it. 👍🏻

[@EveHenleySpread]

@jonathancheetham7683 yeah they basically replaced the factory with the supermarket (which I suppose was a sign of the times as Britain’s manufacturing era was pretty much over)… but it wasn’t as much fun, I loved all the laughs at Baldwin’s Casuals personally much more than anything at Bettabuys.

I’m a bit confused here with the layout of coronation street, what is that big building opposite? I thought it was where Dez and Gail lived with the Kabin on the corner?
