Coronation Street - December 1989

[@bsaunders5271]

One of the biggest injustices for me in the whole Rita and Alan business, is that Jenny never gets a slap or gets shouted down for being such a gobby, disrespectful, brat. She shrieks at everybody. Noone ever pulls her up on it, she gets away with everything, every time, and it drives me NUTS.

[@ss-md3vj]

Agreed, Jenny was a right bitch, blaming Rita for the death of her psychopath of a father after she'd done more for her than he ever had.

[@paullynton-green6570]

Spot on.

I would have thought Bet would have been ideal to put her in her place. She was there when Jenny came home and bawled at Rita the night Bradley came back for the first time and terrorised her.

Thanks for this, Eve. I've really enjoyed it. They're good memories. I always thought the Street wasn't worth a light after Mrs Walker left in '83, but these are very entertaining - and I love the sense of the late '80s, with the fashions, the yuppie playing Mike at his own game and so on. And Vera peeling the sprouts on Christmas Day, in her lovely jumper, with a ciggie on and a tub of Vim on her kitchen windowsill. Beautiful scene.

Too bad Jenny didn’t keep her promise of never coming back to this street!

[@leoparkes7536]

Fun fact: Mark Eden/Alan Bradley appeared in every single episode from his return at the trial to his Blackpool demise. 23 episodes on the trot - that’s some going! Goes to show how huge the storyline was.

[@glamdolly30]

Mark Eden was a great actor, it's such a shame Corrie producers (in their wisdom) decided to turn him into a baddie who had to be killed off. He would have been a very worthy successor to Rita's previous man, Len Fairclough - in fact he'd have been a massive improvement on that toad! To me it just didn't ring true that Rita never wanted to marry Alan (a handsome, eligible man on the Weatherfield cobbles was rarer than hen's teeth), and form a family unit with his daughter Jenny who she was inexplicably so fond of. For years we were told Rita was broody and desperate to be a mother. Then along comes Alan with his ready made family, and Rita doesn't go for it but chooses to live in sin with him. It didn't ring true - she'd have snapped his hand off! Mark Eden was very likeable, and could have brought an attractive, middle aged man into the show to be a new husband for Rita. Lord knows she deserved a Prince Charming after that grotty Len Fairclough!

[@bsaunders5271]

@@glamdolly30 when Mark Eden appeared years earlier as Elsie's love interest, I thought his performance was very much like Alan Bradley in his early days. He seemed like a cold fish both times, so I assumed Mark Eden was quite a one dimensional actor. I always wondered if the writers' about turn with Alan's character, from cold and detached to psychopathic, was because the actor's range was quite limited.

[@cicerodiello1]

Mark Eden was cold. Perhaps after a while, the producers saw his potential as a heartless villain. He seemed completely bloodless.

He was also in episodes where the café turned in to the café from a cake shop. In real life he was married to Gail's 'mom' until he passed away recently.

1:06:09 - The attitude and conduct of that nurse in the green uniform was appalling. To begin with, starting the "what's the problem" conversation out in the corridor in front of other waiting patients! Then getting irate when someone tries to explain a delicate situation. That nurse was a total - and very loud-mouthed - disgrace. No wonder Rita bolted.

Yes, that was very badly written, IMO..

Mike: “Close the door when you go out will you” As if Dawn is going to leave the front door wide open?

Tracey is having a wild Christmas

[@simplywonderful1]

Two observations: 1. Audrey was incredibly childish and a Gold Digger. 2. It annoyed me how, only a couple of weeks earlier Mavis was having a nervous breakdown/ had to view a body in the mortuary and then there wasn’t even as much as on-screen reunion once Rita returned…

not a very happy Christmas for the gang this year :(

Lovely to see Gail has grown as a person.

2:43:53 hasn’t a wall just replaced the front door?!

Looks weird?

The oncoming saga of Alec and his grand daughter was so very tedious.

Deidre: “Ken..is there somebody else?” A very long silence…

I like aurderys impression of vera duckworth 1:11:31 then when she returns to coronation street her production came true

This is effn hilarious; Gayle being testy with martin, over loyalties with friends re: Jenny😂

[@robertprees603]

Her jealousy was showing there big time.

Interesting to watch this all over again. At the time I loved the Rita and Alan story, but now I see it was so overly dramatic . But because it got such good reviews and ratings they carried on with more and more dramatic storylines. In other words, the beginning of the end. I don't watch the show anymore, gave up on it years ago

Why did Sally drag Jack out of the Rovers? 🤔

[@bsaunders5271]

Audrey acts like a duchess. She hasn't got two ha'pennies of her own to rub together, she has this really entitled attitude like everything is beneath her, but the only prestige she has, is through her husband. She has to be one of my absolute least favourite characters of all time. She makes my blood boil.

[@David-h4z2s]

Unlucky she was in it for Years after this boring people senseless with her social climbing ways She was so ungrateful to Alf Who took her on with a child that was his and Grandchildren that were not his Decades of boredom to to go with her

Spoiler alert - And after he dies, she seems to rave about 'My Alfaaah' on a pedestal, like she had always appreciated him
