If I'd been Deidre I'd have taken a mallet to that Ken Barlow. Such a condescending and slimy man. I'd have enjoyed doing it too. Smirk now!!

Jack telling Vera he loved her 😢😢😭 x

That banger car race storyline is ridiculous

[@lynnem3300]

Yes. Nobody cares.

Thanks for posting these, Lynne. Watching from Canada

Thankyou for these episodes xx

2:38:33 “More baths than Cleopatra.” 😂 this has to be one of the funniest lines ever from Vera Duckworth!

[@bsaunders5271]

It always makes me laugh when out of the blue, one of the characters appears with a lovely tan. This time, it's Dierdre, Sally, Jack, Mike and Ken who all have smashing tans...the type you don't get from a Sunday stroll along Blackpool prom. I'm sure the actors concerned all had recent tropical holidays...

[@bibakroll8999]

If I remember correctly Anne Kirkbride had a place in Spain that she visited every weekend. That might account for it!

[@alexandramassey9258]

It’s July, so I bet it was filmed in may/June. Could be a uk summer tan

[@chrissywales6575]

I always get a great tan from the May sunshine...and I live in south Wales where we get mostly rain.

[@irenemorley75]

You don't have to go on a tropical holiday to get a tan.....silly comment🙄

[@AriAdu]

Really? Corrie is pale city

[@josephpeters2083]

Why did Diedre leave Mike for Ken? He was and is SO BORING!

[@madwatermelon1316]

1989 was a awesome belter of a year for Coronation Street. Arguably the best.

[@timmytrimble4069]

1984 for me. Perhaps September.

Alf threatening to look the other way whilst someone Decks Audrey lol 😂

[@normasouthwood3182]

@PendleWitch01 Who can blame him? I find Audrey so irritating that she makes my whole body itch! I can't stand her facial expressions, the way she drags out her words, and the way she treats Alf.

Gail is infatuated with Nicky being clean. Just how many times can the poor lad be sent upstairs to either wash his hands, have a bath or to clean his teeth.

[@jonathancheetham7683]

Maurice Jones - the bringer of the next phase of the street and the end of the factory scenes and relationships.

[@user-kl4bh4lq6r]

Deirdres kicking arse i like it👍✊

[@adrianmole7431]

I agree with Ken I don’t like the word mole use source instead.

[@richardmulcahy9919]

Nicky has been playing up since when his Dad Brian Passed

[@shaneclarke1514]

Some observations... Percy... never liked his character. Jack and Vera... best soap couple ever. Ken... smug, smarmy git. So many brilliant, strong female characters. Why has it changed so much? They're so weak now. And I didn't remember that Mike's factory made curtains back then!

[@chrissywales6575]

Hilda and Stan were a great soap couple, especially with Eddie.

[@shylinh5939]

The producers have gone for quantity rather than quality in terms of characters, and sensationalist story lines over strong characterisation. It takes a long time to develop a character, and cast members come and go at a far greater rate than they in the first 20+ years. Not only that, but the programme has been increasingly used as a platform for highlighting specific social issues. I don't think this should be absent from soaps, but it works far better when it's woven in and refers to existing characters, rather than seemingly introducing multiple characters intended specifically to achieve that. But that's what you get when you triple the output.

[@Nats99]

​@@shylinh5939 Brilliantly summed up.

[@bercg]

So Gail goes straight from handling money at the till to making Percy's teacake with her bare hands without washing them. I'm guessing the food safety handbook was a lot thinner in those days.

[@sheenamcguire123]

Yes and that hair should be in a net

[@Alan-ss3xp]

I wrote to Greggs about that as staff did the same in our local shop. Their reply was the usual waffle and no one way would they have someone working solely as a cashier.

[@Nats99]

And were we any the unhealthier for it?

[@EveHenleySpread]

@Nats99 were we eckaslike, a bit of muck does you good! 😉

[@jonathancheetham7683]

Alma is so shameless and embarrassing around Mike. Talk about laying her cards on the table.

[@tinaquinn9042]

Always thought Mike was good hearted

[@MissMarie1377]

Gail is a demon. Gone all day and the few hours a week she does see her kids she is screaming at them and telling them to shut up. What kind of mother says that to her child?

[@tinaquinn9042]

Agreed👍

[@masterknife8423]

It's not real

[@user-kl4bh4lq6r]

Is it not real did not know that 🛌

[@MissMarie1377]

@@masterknife8423 obviously it’s not real, what a weird comment to make. I still have opinions on the show and the characters. Especially when it’s a “soap opera” you get pretty into the characters. It’s the whole point. I don’t even understand why you would point out that TV isn’t real life?! Yeah, water is wet……we all know that. I still stand by my original comment

[@chrissywales6575]

​@@masterknife8423 People are really like that though.

When I watched this when I was young I hadn’t realized what an awful man and husband Ken is. He’s a narcissist.

[@lynnem3300]

​@@jayallen6488Exactly. Zero empathy and totally self-serving

[@Kay_Watermelon]

Wendy Flamin' Crozier!

[@carasmith549]

I cannot abide Wendy Crozier, sneaky council secretary, but she does seem a good match for Ken Barlow: in terms of smugness, self-righteousness, craftiness and bouncy blonde hairdos. Why Deirdre didn't stick with Mike in 1983, goodness knows, but if she had, I suppose she'd have deprived Alma - who's desperate and abrasive at present, but eventually softens to vulnerable and lovable - of her best storylines to come.

[@gretchencomfort6471]

Arrogant Ken!

[@jonathancheetham7683]

The car racing story is so utterly boring.

[@spartybrearly7221]

Alf needs to reevaluate his stock. Corned beef is a popular delicacy and he’s run out. TO BETTABUY!

[@mattburke3457]

If I was Deidre, I would start talking to the gazette.. take them down to all the homeless and try to get them to write the story her beloved husband wdnt write.

[@tazzie2shoos]

If I was Deirdre I would have hired a private investigator to follow Ken for a few weeks, find the mole he was meeting with and got them sacked, then divorced Ken for being a smug, arrogant prawn.

[@deborahwatson2730]

@@tazzie2shoos…have you any idea just how much those people charge, you’re talking a couple of hundred a day or more, they don’t follow people round for the minimum wage.

[@tazzie2shoos]

@@deborahwatson2730 I do, but I guess it depends how important it is to you. In 1 or 2 weeks a PI can catch a lot of info for you. I would do it, even if I had to tighten my belt drastically, so I could get on with the rest of my life. People will pay over £1k for a mobile phone, buy cars, widescreen tvs, holidays - but they won't invest in finding out if they are being taken for a ride.

Tina has a terrible way of treating people all to her benefit.

[@MultiKs22]

I think Maurice jones and Deirdre would have been a good catch it the scriptwriters had written into the script. Maurice was fine catch.
