Michelle Holmes who played Tina (who’s had a successful career in film, tv and theatre since Coronation Street) remains friends with Billy Ivory who played Eddie. In fact, Michelle appeared in several projects written and created by Billy Ivory (including Common as Muck) as he’s become a very successful film & theatre writer.

The Ratings are Down Because it's all a load of Rubbish Now👎

[@Reikiman]

One thing I do like about this era (apart from it almost being a masterpiece compared to the rubbish it is now).is hearing music of the time - good memories. Also, there are more scenes away from the Street, adding to the realism. With Corrie, I find the further back I go, the more I appreciate it. I think my earliest 'live' Corrie memories are Ernest B being shot, and Ray going to the Netherlands, leaving Deirdre and TracyLuv behind.

[@EveHenleySpread]

I agree with you there i.e. the further back you go, the better it is! I've found myself just casually watching 1980/81 at the weekend and marvelling at what a masterpiece it was (the drearly Tilsleys aside)! Glad we're still able to enjoy it on here for now! ;-)
