[@Deborah4Antiques]

I love the fact Vera & Jack were really good friends in real life!

[@mattburke3457]

First time Mavis says something sensible. Trish has had plenty of notice, she has made zero effort to find somewhere to go. Hasn't called on or viewed anywhere.

[@EveHenleySpread]

Good to see Alec and Bet reunited for one last time this month! Julie Goodyear and Roy Barraclough were a fabulous double act on the street, shame their union wasn’t all that long lasting (5 or so years!).

[@SuzyQ334]

I agree EveHenleySpread - as a couple Bet and Alec were a fabulous double act, just one of many in our brilliant Corrie.

[@michaelgregory8322]

Yes brilliant double act, as times moved on u realize just how many u get in a lifetime

[@daveyshowcaseJohnson]

Awww yeah such a lovely surprise that was! Such a shame there was no reconsolidation possibility.. I wonder if it's because they all knew Julie was going to be leaving soon after ... 😢

[@David-h4z2s]

It was never the same after they both left

[@katy4779]

Vicky was quite the little madam, acting way beyond her years.

Raquel so innocent and lovely genuinely warm person and loyal

[@liamf7838]

gotta love all don scenes miss these days corrie what a cast

[@christinefougere]

The first of Steve's many weddings.

[@David-h4z2s]

His eaten a lot of wedding cakes over the years the size of big macca now He's massive these days 😫

[@GinaRussell-c2c]

My grandma was like Steve loved her wedding cake 4 times wed, I wonder how many times Steve as been wed

[@katy4779]

Awww Roy, little did we know that he would become one of Corrie's most beloved characters.

[@shylinh5939]

He wouldn't have if he'd remained the way he is here, I doubt he'd have been seen much more.

[@mattburke3457]

Can't believe how different he looked and behaved...wow

[@littlecorporal4910]

@@shylinh5939 We have David Neilson's (Roy's actor), wife to thank for him being kept on, she worked with children on the autism spectrum back in 1995, and as such suggested that Roy could have it, explaining his behaviours as being harmless social ineptitude rather than menacing, psychopathic behaviour, and it was this sympathetic reinvention that kept Roy on.

[@SuzyQ334]

Omg he was so creepy.

[@antoinettehowes6964]

Roy's character has changed alright. Back then it seems he was an intrusive character whereas now he is portrayed as a man of high morals and an inability to lie

[@emmaclarke2885]

Liz really babies Steve. He's 21, stop nagging him about every little thing he does. And phoning his dad to come speak to him! And then Jim's like, yeah get married Wednesday, I don't care 😅

[@eddielloyd4070]

what else would you expect from a woman that talks like a 4 yr old and dresses like a bimbo

[@jaclynholland-strauss7054]

I noticed that in the Café, Alma hangs her purse up on the inside of the door separating the café from the rest of the building, as far as I can gather. But it's available to the public, because a man goes in a minute after Alma hangs the purse up. Interesting!

[@londonlady227]

Yes, I've always thought about that, the coats and purses right by the toilets.

[@emmaclarke2885]

Steve's such a plank. Why do all these women keep falling for him?

[@H3len50]

He is a right twat and can't stand him to be honest.

[@jaynehinds3339]

Gives me the creeps

[@jaclynholland-strauss7054]

He has helpful scriptwriters.

[@GC-wm4jz]

He was very handsome back in 1995/6 tho. 4:17:30 is a good example

[@user-dq6kr2gd1y]

It's because of his boy-band looks; that's why this non-actor was cast in the part.

[@standamoza]

Great to see Bill Webster back in town.

[@montrayjones1947]

What a touch of class from Fiona! Don't fight the new woman, send her the bills!

[@eph2817]

Vicky is hardly the new woman.

[@youtubehatesus2651]

ken always has awkwardly tight trousers

[@SuzyQ334]

Ha ha - and even back then faded jeans, worn too tight, didn't look good on a middle-aged man!

[@londonlady227]

He carried a lot of weight back then.

[@heathercreighton9613]

Not as bad as Trisha's.

[@ddrose06]

It's really strange seeing that Tracey, when she's behaving normally. Not tearing a strip off someone, shouting the odds and lashing out.

[@randnsmom]

Love that window in the foyer of Deidres new home.

[@howiseeit5129]

Stunning

[@bonbon0416]

11:08 The look Des gives Raquel.

[@Beaverbush1969]

If Vicky was my granddaughter McDonald would be found in a bin liner.

[@Chillmax]

I thought I had a strong stomach, but 'Denise' in a satin effect nighty has let me know that I was quite wrong.

[@pandacutlets83]

I know, right! How dare she have a couple lumps and bumps, and don't get me started on her boobs or her tan...I'm going to look at my perfect self in the mirror now...ta ra!

[@Chillmax]

@@pandacutlets83 Oh dear, you obviously have no taste & no sense of humour. I wasn't referring to her physique in any way, but quite clearly mocking a revolting outfit. For you to think otherwise & to be so offended on her behalf, says much more about you, than anything I did or didn't intend.

[@johnjoyce341]

It's only when you go back at look at it right from the start,Bill Roaches run as Ken Barlow is extraordinary.The changes he's seem on the street and all the characters he's worked with is incredible.

[@MarcoNegrisEye]

I'm 41 and (to my recollection) I haven't seen him in a single other thing but this programme.

[@paullynton-green6570]

The luckiest man in showbiz.

[@chrismacdonald7955]

Not to mention how many times Ken had to rub his CHIN. Drives me mad that.🤔

[@eatmywords]

why has everyone in this show now got an attitude? if they're not pouting, they're shouting.

[@londonlady227]

If they weren't, it would be quite boring.

[@eatmywords]

@@londonlady227 go back 10 years and see how boring it is.

[@londonlady227]

I've watched this repeatedly for over 30 years....I think I know Corrie very well by now.

[@tazzie2shoos]

I agree, the aggressiveness has crept in by now and it's noticeable, the earlier years had more comedy and gentleness.

[@leejones8582]

Don did some evil things before he died but would be nice if David and Sarah mentioned him.

[@principalskinner4633]

Roy Cropper is so creepy here. What a character change he under took and talks so different too.

[@angelapryde1902]

Roy swigging whisky from the bottle n pestering Deidre , completely different character

[@dirkdeboer7061]

What a creep! He's a stalker.

[@David-h4z2s]

Looks weird here before his camp hand bag days

[@londonlady227]

I always thought that pub front room would stink from all that smoke.

[@maxinenickolls1065]

Roy cropper looks sooooo young WOW

[@barbaracockerill6367]

Put the kettle on let's have a cup of tea😂thats all they do it solves everything

[@barbaracockerill6367]

Denise's baby is fascinated with whats going on above him

[@philstrachan]

He's way hong the boom mic moving ❤

[@kathleencorson-lh3pz]

There's Bill Webster your dad standing behind you listening in. He just arrived back in Weatherfield on the cobbles of Coronation Street all the way from Germany and it looks like Percy's niece Elaine Prior isn't with Bill and it also looks like Kev's little brother Carl ain't either. Welcome back Bill Webster. It's good to see you back home on the cobbles you call home.

[@ginagina9720]

Alec to bet “you don’t look a day older” Bet to Alec “I’m not I’m 3 years older” Bet makes me giggle she is very straight forward just gets to the point! A special license for a wedding 👰 I’ve never heard that before!

[@EveHenleySpread]

Alec returning for a month really elevated the show for a bit here - makes you realise how good an onscreen partnership Julie Goodyear and Roy Barraclough had!

[@mattburke3457]

I'm surprised Bet let him swan right back in and plant both feet firmly under the table. She didn't even pretend to try to get him to stay at a b&b or hotel. Thought she wdve at least made some sort of verbal stance or unsubtle dispute on that.

[@tazzie2shoos]

@@mattburke3457 Ahh well that is cunning on Bet's side, if Alec is nearby she stays firmly in the loop of what is going on with Vicky, and can say her two pennyworth, possibly influence the outcome. Either way she misses nothing.

[@maxinenickolls1065]

I love the Duckworths

[@SuzyQ334]

Me too. Definitely Corrie's best married comedy double act. Back in the day (for me) it was Stan and Hilda but Jack and Vera emerged as a brilliant replacement. I love how Jack always referred to Vera as "my little swamp duck".

[@nicolemclean9028]

Didnt like vera, nasty loudmouth

[@noeljr.7724]

Have to laugh at Jamie Armstrong saying "It's that burglar Barlow" 😆

[@H3len50]

Enough with the Vicky and Steve storyline, in fact enough with wooden-top Steve full stop. The storyline is tedious and just as tedious as Mavis and Derek's Gnome.

[@SuzyQ334]

It's dragging on isn't it? They did it with Derek & Mavis (pre-gnome-gate) and that got tired as well. The difference is that Derek & Mavis eventually got married and were and still are quite a good comedy duo whereas with Steve and Vicky there's no humour and no depth to either of the characters. I finally had enough tonight and googled the outcome. No spoilers but I can now fast-forward all scenes with Steve and Vicky (and bloody Alec) knowing I'm not missing anything.

[@paulacookgomez1046]

Interesting to see Roy Cropper character at the starting point. I find him to be much different than the Roy I know and love. Pestering Deidre for a drink?? I wonder why they changed him so drastically or he evolved with the storylines.

[@christinefougere]

I always wondered that too.

[@littlecorporal4910]

David Neilson (Roy's actor), had a wife who worked with children on the autism spectrum back in the day. He wanted Roy to stay around longer than was originally intended, so he reinvented him as a sympathetic, socially inept character rather than the menacing weirdo he started out as. A lot of Roy's behaviours could be explained by him being autistic, and as no one really knew what Aspergers was in 1995, Roy became a hit with viewers as a result of this new portrayal.

[@jaclynholland-strauss7054]

So often on this show characters start off problematic but end up beloved.

[@angelapryde1902]

I know , so unlike him

[@londonlady227]

He started off a creep tbh and then he mellowed into a very lovable character.

[@kimberlychoiniere5801]

I’m surprised at how dressed-up all of the characters are- even at home on their days off. They have a lot of jewelry, full face make up, heels…men are in suits or their clean pressed clothing…

[@youtubehatesus2651]

people used to dress like that. My mom used to put on high heels and a skirt to do housework when she was first married

[@bsaunders5271]

Very different to the 70s

[@zanducktv2398]

Don’t know whether Bet would allow them in the Rovers, probably lol, but you don’t see the Street menfolk strolling round with their shirts off in summer either lol.

[@christinefougere]

Wow they sure changed Roy's character, He was acting really pervy here.

[@SuzyQ334]

He was very creepy, wasn't he?

[@principalskinner4633]

Does anybody else really like Alec??

[@EveHenleySpread]

I liked him.. I found his miserly Scrooge-like ways hilarious!

[@principalskinner4633]

Him and Bet Great Together

[@dementednun1175]

As soon as Bet Leaves that's me singing off 😌🙃

[@Chillmax]

I feel like that as well, although I did say the same thing about Queen Hilda & here I am, some 7 years after she left. There are plenty of the old characters left after Julie departs, but this really does mark one of the final lines in the sand of old & new Street. I'll grudgingly hang around to see what happens after her departure, whilst trying to find some other cosy old show to takes it's place. It's been great company throughout 'the thing', living on my own in the countryside has it's benefits, but it can be quiet & as most modern TV is unwatchable, this has been great company, since 'it' started, in spring of 2020, I've watched from 1975 up to 95, it's quite a ride watching 20 years of TV in under 2 ;-).

[@EveHenleySpread]

Ha I’ve pretty much the same thing but I’m really really struggling with 96/97.. it seemed to fall off a cliff after Bet and then Raquel left. And to compound my misery Janice Battersby just appeared! 😩

[@Chillmax]

@@EveHenleySpread Ah, they're about to arrive are they, I think many might not see much difference between them & Jack & Vera, but they lack the charm & nuance of the Duckworth's. I'm pretty sure my Granny would have been heard to say "As common as muck", harsh but true. It does sound like my trip down memory lane is now coming to an end. Happy New Year Chuck.

[@EveHenleySpread]

Midway through 1997 they arrive as a family.. although ‘96 was an awful year too tbh - found it a bit dull! Yep sadly it was good whilst it lasted eh! Happy New Year to you dear! 😉

[@shylinh5939]

@@EveHenleySpread The Battersby family make the McDonalds look like the bourgeoisie, particularly Janice. I'll be sorry to see Bet go, but not Raquel, she's irritating.

[@standamoza]

Omg. Well. I never saw David Neilson join the show. Amazing actor. Honestly I don't know if Steve was playing Alec or not. I think part of him wants Vic's money and I don't know about the rest. A great episode. Thank you Eve 💗

[@barbaracockerill6367]

If jack the ripper look alike is not in the rovers he's in the cafe

[@londonlady227]

The actress Sally Dynevor was pregnant in real life at this point.

[@TurquoiseTanooki]

Fiona is crazy, why did she push Derek like that? No wonder Steve wanted to go with Vicky, that hairdresser is out of her mind.

[@mattburke3457]

Never liked Fiona myself, to pushy, bitchy,loud, and jealous, also Steve and Vicky were like each other's first loves...so, obviously they wd gravitate back to each other. Didn't the main reason they broke up in the first place start with her having to b away at school, and they cdnt b together enough for Steve's liking?

[@michaelroberts7374]
