Coronation Street - February 1990

[@Bessie66]

Well, I’ve watched as much as I can and found I’m fast forwarding a great deal 😞 The great coronation street has been lost IMO and tomorrow will be “Gail’s” last day on current coronation street. Thanks for the great uploads x

[@sheenamcguire123]

Thanks for uploading Corrie I really enjoy reliving the old characters bet and Alec my favourites ❤

[@kimmitasha1812]

Just want to thank you for the time that went in to do these episodes .. I’m not well at the moment (not Covid) and your site is so helping pass the time while convalescing xx

You're very welcome Kim! Hope you're feeling better soon! :-)

If only.

My heart sank when Jenn-aay opened that door and when she started crying and let Rita hug her!! Then she smiled and kept breathily saying 'thanks, Reeta.'. Oh no!!! Don't trust her as far as I could throw her.

The McDonalds' house will never be the McDonalds' house. It may have a had a lick of paint, and some chic furniture added to brighten things up, but it will always be Elsie Tanner's house to me, with that red dial phone of hers, and her green kitchen cupboards. It was dark, a bit dingy, and absolutely fantastic. What a wonderful force of nature she was, in comparison to this wishy washy, vanilla family.

[@MultiKs22]

that like saying Kevin and sally house will always be Hilda and stan with the Muriel's and round table and Charles and di plate hung up on the wall. but the mc Donalds were able to act not like todays ones who occupy the house now. on the street whoever the are. since I haven't seeing it in years.

Late 80s to late 90s was a good Corrie period the wheels started to come off mid 2000s

[@carasmith549]

February 1990 marks: the modern side of the Street being completed, with the ultra-modern bickering Barnes's taking up residence; the re-appearance of Victor Pendlebury which throws Mavis' marriage into turmoil; and Liz McDonald is in her phase of screeching "the Arrr-my, the Arr-my, the Arr-my" every few minutes.

[@David-h4z2s]

Liz and Jim were boring as anything by the 2000s and Steve was bland by the time he had a kid with Tracey Barlow 😮

[@standamoza]

Don really has an undying grudge against Mike for sure. He is not the nice person he used to be at all. Such a sad man and grudge holding ever since the last poker game.

[@tazzie2shoos]

I agree about Don, not a pleasant character. Although it did turn my stomach how hard and vicious Mike was over that poker debt. Not letting Don and Ivy pay it off bit by bit, knowing that Ivy worked for him and didn't earn a lot and that Don couldn't earn at all without the car. It seemed very cruel.

[@KuchiKopi179]

​​@@tazzie2shoos yes, but what people seem to forget is that even when Mike has done a favor or be lenient on his employees and friends they never have a good thing to say about him. Even with Hilda, when Mike hired her to clean his house when the factory girls kicked her out and the many times he lent her money. Hilda still had so many bad things to say behind Mike's back, another one is Vera slagging off Mike's wife even when Mike hired her back. No doubt if mike forgave the poker game loss, Don would be going around the Rover's telling everyone that Mike is nothing but a softie. All a bunch of hypocrites imho. I am glad Mike managed to steal Don's order.

[@lynnem3300]

Don was never a nice person. He was a liar from the beginning and always aggressive to the point of violence.

[@R31922]

Don...moan,moan,moan,moan
