Coronation Street - February 1986

[@1977Arrakis]

Gotta love the way ITV kept us guessing with the End of Part Ones. Sometimes they cut at a moment of high drama, sometimes they do it when Alf's ambling towards a front door.

Thank you for all the time you put in for these wonderful memories ❤️ 💖 You are a 🌟

Audrey would try the patience of a Saint.. she doesn't listen to a single word Alf tries to say to her. I keep wanting him to shout "shut up" at her to stop her prattling on.

I know old people looked older back in the day but Phyllis only being 65 is pretty unbelievable....Jill Summers was born in 1910 so she would have actually been nearly 76 when this was filmed. Guess if they had used her real age she would have been too old to work in the cafe.

[@timmytrimble4069]

Percy, about Philys. ''I'd rather sail around Cape Horn in a bucket''

Can’t stand her character and actress is completely ugh

[@bibakroll8999]

She's awful, isn't she? Her character is unpleasant and her acting is rubbish.

[@bsaunders5271]

@@SuzyQ334 allegedly Wendy Walker was written out first chance the writers got, despite having had all kinds of future plans for Susan and Mike, because Johnny Briggs couldn't stand her.

We can all see Mike married her to get back at Ken.

[@ddrose06]

Would you flaming credit it? Audrey, England's most ambitious dosser, finds that 11 Coronation street, is somehow beneath her!

[@gilliangrant8764]

Exactly! She was happy enough to rough it there when Elsie put her up when she had nowhere else!

[@annmear3573]

They made Audrey's character into nothing more than a prostitute. In fact, the way they portray women is really sexist. I never realised.

[@cicerodiello1]

Curly has the Cockatoo haircut.

[@kenix77]

Mike Baldwin to Emily Bishop… ‘No problem at all, thanks Eileen’. Rare faux pas with using the actresses’ name rather than the character’s. Love that though. Thanks PG for putting these up, you’ve seen me through lockdown & a really serious knee injury! 🙌

As used by Arthur Daley.

[@lorraineydays57]

Why Curly thought he'd have had a chance with Susan is beyond me, she was far too up herself to have looked twice at him.

Vera pushes an old woman out of the way in the shop, Because she is "in a hurry" to get back to work, and then stands there gossiping about one topic after another ...

[@estoforte388]

The faux "love" triangle between Phyllis, Percy and Sam is great. It provides light-hearted entertainment and comedy alongside the deeper storylines (such as Barlows/Baldwin).

The music @41 mins onward... Steely Dan, Babylon Sister.... memories.... thanks PG66

Fun to see fashions recycle them ( 60's want their purple) Great big Thank You for all the hours of entertainment

Ken was a bully and a snob!

[@SuzyQ334]

Totally. I would love to have seen Deirdre choose Mike over him when she had the chance. The storylines would have been more interesting, I reckon! Loving these retro episodes though.

[@juliewebb1335]

​@SuzyQ334 Ken was old enough to be Deirdres father as well!

[@leehambleton9919]

I thought Terry was a half decent bloke in these days but got worse when he sold his son

[@soniaclarkstewart]

It was terrible the way they made him turned bad, but his parents were horrible and always arguing I guess he had the choice to turn either way.

[@lorraineydays57]

@leehambleton9919 I think they were trying to keep up with EastEnders who had bad boy Nick Cotton, I would have preferred if they had left the Character be, Terry was likable back then.

[@johnjohnston9917]

Alf. Is that the price or the phone number 😄

[@lyn4108]

Ken did aswel he called Deddrie , Anne in one episode 😅

[@MissMarie1377]

Anyone else notice how Betty is always wrong about everything? She has no idea about people or their behavior at all. She is so naive and so gullible. I don’t know how she has managed this long and it bugs me that she hasn’t figured out her pattern of constantly being wrong . If Betty says a situation is this way, you can be sure it’s not:)

[@alexanderjones9572]

Hearing Hilda say about Kevin needing a ‘guiding hand’ reminded me of something the Dowager said about Mrs Crawley in Downton Abbey-and she’d say the same about Hilda-‘She’s always loved a chance to use her guiding hand...’

Poor dog. It was the actors own dog so Im sure even tho it's not the best scene I agree. I assume the dog was well looked after.

The actress playing Susan Barlow “Wendy Jayne Walker” was the same actress that played her as a toddler in the late 60s and early 70s, so that is maybe why she was cast as older Susan? 🤔
