Coronation Street - June 1996

[@mfitzy100]

Anyone else addicted to these old episodes? Absolutely brilliant storylines and balance of whit. Characters really engaging

[@rainiegreen5684]

Prefer the old actors than the new ones these days, 👍👍👍👍

[@munchsolidv4830]

Yes I’m addicted too😊👍

[@SuzyQ334]

Everyone who is here is addicted to retro Corrie. I've been binge-watching all year going back to the early 1970s. I think the 1990s was probably the beginning of the end of the great, funny, believable characters and storylines. But it got me through Australia's brutal COVID lockdowns so I'm not complaining. xx

[@jaynehinds3339]

Aye

[@SuzyQ334]

OMG - It's not often Jack gets things right, but he is so right about Terry.

Rewind to 1986.. and he is! 😉

[@SuzyQ334]

Yep, I agree. I liked Alec as well. And even though he and Bet were hardly a marriage made in heaven, they were very funny together.

[@noeljr.7724]

Don has no one to blame but himself. The only research he did into the garage was Josie snooping around Baldwins office to see the value. Why didn't he get a valuer in? Why not talk to the lads who work there to ensure everything is in working order?

[@shylinh5939]

I'm looking forward to Tricia making an exit. A dreadful character who's either arguing and shrieking when she isn't being snarky. I doubt there's even one scene where she's agreeable throughout, it doesn't feel like it anyway. She wasn't written or played with the depth needed to arouse some understanding and empathy for her and the circumstances she's in.

[@EveHenleySpread]

She’s absolutely awful isn’t she.. really marks a point where the quality drops dramatically! Always whining about ‘her Jamie’ etc. No redeeming qualities as a character.

[@shylinh5939]

@@EveHenleySpread Yes, she's truly awful. She does seem to be leading to a dip in quality, as in the arrival of the Battersbys. It just doesn't compare with the days of Stan and Hilda and Mrs Walker, etc. Same name, different programme.

[@georgemeller7173]

Didn't mind tricia tbh but glad when Sam left in June 1998 all she did was boss people about and it wasn't even in a funny way like angie or sally who are both great

[@SuzyQ334]

So true. As a "poor sad single mum" her sense of entitlement was breathtaking. She was so unlikeable. I like the kid who played her son though.

[@newdawn3320]

I second that emotion!

[@MarcoNegrisEye]

The hypocrisy and self righteousness the writers foisted upon Jack's character each time Terry makes an appearance is nauseating. He was an appalling father to Terry and a hopeless husband to Vera. Yet to read the comments you would think Jack was Sir Walter Raleigh. The writers obviously done a great job of conditioning viewers to think otherwise.

[@itallia666]

Y'know, over the last few months watching these wonderful Corries ive come to the conclusion that Jacko Duckworth Is a lovely man! There is alot of kindness & care in him, he tries to bluff things out being the hard man & with pretentions of being a successful business man etc etc but he never sets out to hurt any one or cause trouble... Well only with Vera! Lol In his way he loves her & has stayed with her for over 32yrs Ok hes had his moments esp the hilarious alter ego as Vince St Clair! But if any woman really comes onto him he gets cold feet & backs off in fear! Bless him His Vince St Clair persona is really for himself! To boost his ego & give him self esteem. Id loved those scenes when grandson Tommy was a baby & we saw him babysitting, singing & talking to the baby & any scene where hes with a little one, you can see those babes & toddlers snuggle into him & feel totally at ease with him! That's a true test of character not just of Jack but Bill Tarmey Actor! I bet he was a great dad & grandad & he is devoted to his wife in real life! Long Live the Duckies, they are worth their weight in gold Thanks to EHS for the continuation of our once best beloved soap! We all appreciate your dedication & travail in providing our daily fix I'll bet the viewing figures arent as high for todays Corrie but my deep feeling is that i wanted to keep good memories of Corrie with the good times, i dont want to find out what its come to in These past 15yrs or so! Many many thanks 🇬🇧👧

[@KuchiKopi179]

Yea, cheating and chasing after women most definitely is for himself 😅 wasn't he also incredibly work shy, especially when the Duckworth family was first introduced. Terry was already in his 20's and had been raised by parents like Jack and Vera, yea :/

[@dementednun1175]

Judy's mum the actress was quite good because she gave herself a character trait she was always moving like she was in a hurry, reminds me of my mum

[@mfitzy100]

Remember Band of Gold? She was the leisure centre manager in that!

[@anothercomment]

I think Judy's mom had a load of potential, possibly a Hilda Ogden or Phyllis Pearce type character. It's a pity she was written out when Brian Park took over as producer the following year and introduced one dimensional characters such as Zoe and the new Nick Tilsley.

[@SuzyQ334]

I liked Judy's mum - and I liked Judy and Gary. They were like a young Vera and Jack. Not sure how they ended up though.

[@soniaclarkstewart]

@@SuzyQ334 Judy died. Vera traded her car for Terry's cut and shut car and offered Judy a ride home. There was a minor accident and Judy had a blood clot but never saw a doctor and died hanging up the wash.

[@carasmith549]

10:38 - Who is this nondescript woman Des Barnes is currently carrying on with? She made no impression at all, a waste of a character. There was also a stroppy daughter, wasn't there? Their scenes are ' putting the kettle on time' for me.

[@EveHenleySpread]

Definitely! I agree with Brian Park’s decision to axe 🪓 her, she offered nothing!

[@Chillmax]

@@EveHenleySpread Some actors don't realise or aren't told, that they have to take their part & run with it & make the biggest impression they can, or things may fizzle out. Look at the Reg Holdsworth example, he was just a bit part wasn't he, but the reaction to his over-the-top panto performance went down so well he was promoted to a major permanent roll. I went to stage & drama school & many actors are just empty vessels, only a few know how to push themselves without direction, so unfortunately, she's just another 'also ran'.

[@SuzyQ334]

Thing is Cara Smith, Des Barnes treated his other women so badly so often, I don't think anyone gives a stuff what happens to him.

3:52:30 I swear Nigel Pivaro’s acting got worse and worse every cameo appearance he made! I didn’t think he was so bad when he was in it originally but crikey he’s wooden as hell at this point.

[@SuzyQ334]

@Saul Goodman Yep - I couldn't agree more. And this was how Corrie was heading in the mid-1990s. New producers/scriptwriters who probably were still in nappies when the show began didn't know and didn't care about continuity of characters. "Our Turry" was no one's idea of a good son but a villain in a panto is exactly what they turned him into.

I totally understand. I actually don't feel like that about Fiona but any scene involving any McDonald has me hitting fast-forward. Even Liz annoys the hell out of me - there's no harm in her (apart from her lousy taste in men) but no middle-aged woman should be wearing thigh-high mini-skirts.

The Mallets wiring. The archaic equipment in the garage...does nobody do any due diligence in that street?

[@michaelroberts7374]

Fiona only looks Les Mis cos she gets it tight from all angles. I think hers is a brilliant portrayal of the classic 'tries to have a tough exterior, but is still vulnerable'. It's almost a stereotype, but not quite. As a hairdresser who always has superlative hair, the producers and make up department have it tucked up in bed. Still a brilliant show here!

[@briangatt2956]

Why's Vera acting like she never knew that the Horton's bought Tommy?

[@MarcoNegrisEye]

I think she was under the impression that it was a one off payment rather than annually. Not that it would matter anyway, a parent receiving payment for selfishly selling a child is bad enough. One off payment or not.
