Coronation Street - December 1986

[@sharonpearce1352]

Everyday and everynight i am glued to my coronation street as i was back when i used to run home from school to watch it and again when i was pregnant with my first child who is now 33 yrs old, i WOULD BE SO LOST WITHOUT MY CORONATION STREET, REMINDES ME OF HAPPIER TIMES. NEVER TAKE IT OFF, IT IS THE REAL DEAL, LOVE FROM AUSTRALIA.

I prefer the classic episodes myself!

Everything was good about the 80s. The women, the sport, the music and Coronation Street.

[@chicagogyrl4846]

This 80’s Coronation Street is boring, useless, and most of the episodes of any year are unbelievable and make no sense! Bette is not Bette anymore! I skip over most of the content of all episodes, no matter what year! I will be going back to watching the ones from the 70’s and earlier, soon! I’m dying of boredom!

You'd think Vera would stop bad mouthing Susan she just got her job back by the skin of her teeth

[@0flan]

Vera is horrible. I'd sack her if I was mike. I wish vera wasn't in the program.

[@shylinh5939]

She does it to everyone, she's an aggressive person who starts shouting at virtually no provocation, mostly directed at poor Jack. She deserved to lose her job, her attitude sucks and she's inefficient. It's good that the writers softened Vera a lot as she got older, she was much nicer.

[@dirkdeboer7061]

She is a loudmouthed troublemaker and I hate her. Skiving is her middlename.

It brings back memories of 1986 when they play the records that were in the charts then!

Anyone else not give a tuppenny fig about the Gloria/ long lost brother situation?

[@allanjoseph5601]

Yep…I don’t give a fig about the Gloria/long lost brother thing either

[@lucyjane103]

I saw a couple glimps of Gloria looking very pregnant , in the blue stripe shirt, which surprized me. I was thinking that story was to get her off on maternity leave ? On her exit with brother she keeps wrapping that coat over her belly bulge.

Is it just me or is Terry Duckworth becoming more and more unpleasant as the episodes role on? I used to think he was just a cheeky lad - now, he's just nasty.

[@joshirley2308]

Oh he gets much worse.

[@Teener9791]

I used to like his character, he was good despite his parents. At this point he is the worst of his two parents and poor acting as well.

[@memoir4you]

maybe it's because his parents sparring Has rubbed off on him, especially Vera's abrasiveness.

"Young" Susan looks about 45 ...

[@Nats99]

I think they aged her because Mike was so much older. They've done the same with Bet in anticipation of her getting together with Alec.

[@0flan]

Moggies a lier. She didn't want mike when he wouldn't lend her money.

[@alexanderjones9572]

Hang on-Susan said Mike’s 44, and he said he’s been in the business 30 years! That means he started at 14-wouldn’t he have been at school?

[@Rachel-ub3nw]

No lots kids never bothered to go to school back then. I know kids who at 13 use to go and unload the fishing boats in the early hours of the morning. No school, just cash in hand. Parents didn't bother cause the kids weren't clever and wouldn't go to school anyway. Different times, there was no help at school. Well not much.

[@bsaunders5271]

No, he says he was a barrow boy back then

[@MultiKs22]

Susan was never deserving of mike's loyalty she begroaned at every twist and turn at him accusing him of being manipulative saying he only married her to bore him children. mike gave her everything that was going , and when she did get pregnant in year that follow she aborted his child .that's good loyal wife for you.

[@chrissywales6575]

She didn't really abort. She had his son, Adam. He is a solicitor in modern Corrie.

[@roybarnes-thewildlifeman1855]

The car overturning….. poor scriptwriting, very predictable. They could have made more of it by using the occasion to get two very boring characters out of the show once and for all.

Why could Martin never date a girl of his own age? Either much younger (child) with Jenny or Katy Harris or much older Gail

[@chicagogyrl4846]

Much older Gayle??! On the show she is only in her early 20’s! She married Brian when she was 19! And in the future, Gail and Martin will marry! 😂🤣

[@itallia666]

The addition of Alec Gilroy was a stroke of brilliance! A perfect foil for our Bett Im enjoying their storyline very much! The only bad point in the Corrie saga is the tedious Mavis & Derek Tragedy ! It should have ended a good 18mths ago, knocked on the head finito! Keeping up the rediculous Story line is boring & so old hat its embarrassing! They should have buried the idiot derek & brought Victor back in at least he had some pep & his madcap ideas were very funny The Rita & Alan Story line is a tad boring & droopy Mave the Rave & Derek should be put 6ft under Love Love Love Bett & Alec Also big cheers for the Gail & Bry - yunnn saga isnt too bad & its nice seeing gail with a backbone & giving mamas boy bri The run round. Love the little Websters, Kev & Sal are a breath of fresh air. Wish they would set Hilda up with a beau, an old friend of Stans would have been a good idea. They should stop bringing in mediocre families then disappearing them, The Curley & Terry story should be developed more A romantic interlude for Curley & one for Ivy Gloria is a good character but don't know how her story goes They lost the plot with Corrie later on from 2000 onwards The family values & good characters, its proves it by the poor audience for Corrie nowadays & the love for these old episodes! The script writers should be made to watch these old episodes & learn something!! Cheers 🇬🇧👧

[@anothercomment]

I agree with all your points, but I did like Mavis and Derek. The two of them were so eccentric and brought much comedy moments during their time on the soap. 2000 was the year I started to lose interest in Corrie. Cracks were starting to appear during the Brian Park era, although it still had a good balance of drama and comedy.

The cafe that appeared here, Jim's Cafe, isn't shown on screen anymore or hasn't even been mentioned since Roy moved to his current premises on Victoria Street in 1999. Interestingly, the original Kabin was right next door to Jim's Cafe but moved in 1990, and it was never mentioned what became of it despite the Cafe being still on screen for 9 more years.

Isn't that good of Percy? Taking it upon himself to go from house to house, on new years eve, to broadcast bad news, that could easily have kept until a later date.

That's most likely why he had no mates, or anybody that wanted him at their new years festivities.
