Coronation Street - June 1995

Love Liz's true friendship with Deirdre. So sad to see her eyes fill with tears as Deirdre boarded the aircraft... she felt her pain. Their characters were so close and caring and that mirrored the relationship that Beverley and Anne enjoyed in real life. RIP Anne

Omg - I love Maud. She reminds me of Ena Sharples and also Deirdre's mum Blanche - they all say out loud what everyone else is thinking but too polite to say. With Maud, I love her many references to the revolting Reg Holdsworth as "that nodding dog". I have to admit, 1994/5 are not my favourite Corrie years (the Deirdre/Samir/Tracy/kidney transplant storyline left me cold as did Tricia ""I'm just a single mum with a kiddie to think about".) But with Corrie back then there was always enough comedy and likeable characters to offset the ones that don't gel. Thanks for the uploads. Loving them all.

5:03:52 - The final scene of June 1995, with "Queen Vicky" showing how bitchy she could be, by flashing her new engagement ring for all - and especially Fiona - to see. Vicky's lust for Steve McDonald was quite embarrassing, but at this stage, she just wanted to own him, and her huge bank account made him more than willing to be bought. What Vicky failed to realise is that if another girl had popped up next day with more money on offer, Steve would have wanted to marry that girl instead (and still keep Fiona on the back burner).

[@shylinh5939]

Yes, it was. And following his death it was refreshing to see Deidre finally waking up to how vile her daughter was and stayed. Pity she soon forgot it.

[@lewiswise7808]

Despite Tracy's silly ways, it was definitely unfair of Deirdre to blame Tracy for Samir's death. However, grief can cause us to not think straight and try to put the blame on others, but as Rita says as time goes on things do heal and you do see sense again. Tracy may not be the most sensible of characters and has no conscience half the time, but she didn't take those drugs to spite Deirdre for marrying Samir, she did it unwittingly. She did, also, feel guilty for dragging Deirdre back from Morocco when she was hospitalized and was quite remorseful for letting it happen in the first place. Tracy may lack sense most of the time, but even she sees the error of her ways occasionally. As Ken said, what happened to Samir was a completely separate incident from what happened to Tracy.

[@mattburke3457]

I'm 3hrs and 40mins in and so far Deirdre hasn't accused Tracy to her face of causing Samir's death... Obviously directly accusing her face to face would be an irrational and unacceptable response, however, not unreasonable for someone in their darkest time of mourning and grief. It is hurtful to see Ken still maintaining his smugness even in these times, and not adamantly defend Deidres actions and say Deidre didn't blame Tracy, tell her she did visit while she was asleep, and had to go bury her husband with his family, even if he was bending the truth. BogFace is the only one entitled to hurt,b angry,and lie(but only if it benefits him) in his eyes and mind. Sad he uses that logic and manipulation even during these times

I love ❤Coronation Street but have never watched the older series, episodes, so this is just brilliant to see this. The way Liz who was Steve’s mum is dressed but it could really be because her hair is bleached blonde and parched nearly fried. For a few seconds it reminded me of that daft slapper from Keeping Up Appearances. Oh it’s a young Ken and Deirdre too in colour is incredible. I’m not familiar with the earlier characters in this.That’s Gale’s mum, Audrey she’s not been around as much on the show recently. Is that meant to be baby Daniel? Yeah there are many differences, and like many people have pointed out this show was different from what is on currently. Then maybe it’s time for the writers to start watching the original series when so many fans are disappointed with the show’s content but change is constantly happening and it’s an end of an era and another era begins. It can be a bit disappointing of how drastically different the early series are in contrast to how the show is now. It’s also a different producer who has say on how or what the show is about. I don’t want to be disparaging when I still appreciate the show being on, and I pay for the streaming service on britbox. But seeing how I pay for it then why aren’t the people in charge, the ones who have the most power to make changes in the show watch these original episodes, series and emulate the show’s characters and content based on the work that was done previously?
