Coronation Street - May 1986

[@amywhite1375]

Love all these old Coronation Streets the present day ones can't hold a candle to these. Hilda should have had her own show

[@antoinettehowes6964]

Fully agree and yes Jean Alexander - amazing actor ❤

[@jennydickson4424]

Hilda was the star of the show in the 80s, she delivered in every scene she was in. Whether it was her nosiness, her gossiping, the truly poignant moments, even just her walk down the street, she was in a class of her own, I miss her interactions with Stan, Annie and elsie

[@samclements8567]

Hello ProfessionalGun 66 just wanted to say thank you for uploading the classic episodes of Coronation Street 1976 onwards really enjoy watching them, whenever I’m in a low mood I go straight onto here and binge watch the episodes and it cheers me up so ta very much. 👍

[@londonlady227]

We love you Hilda, forever ❤

[@katy4779]

Very moving scenes with Hilda. Thank you for uploads, great to watch.

[@perpetualblond1]

I dont know who you are. but I LOVE you- thank you soooooooooo much !!!

[@theresapierce3934]

Thankyou again, I really look forward to your uploads and appreciate them.

This is the real Coronation Street, the scene with Hilda visiting Stans grave was beautifully written, just pure realism and a scene people could relate to. If it was today's Corrie then Stan's mistress,who would never have appeared on screen before, be waiting at the Grave coincidentally and herself and Hilda would end up in a brawl, the writers would include this just for the sake of it.

[@francesgillotti1378]

Stan would never have a mistress are you joking 🙃 he was a slob .

I agree ☝️ with Hilda’s statement. There are things more important than money 💰.

[@stormhawk3319]

Ken Barlow was a right hypocrite. Never was a father to Susan as a kid by shunting her off to Scotland whilst he led the bachelor life.

[@andrealeonie9184]

The talk with Peter and Ken was spot on, he just packed Susan and him to their grandparents and visited them occasionally. He was never a Dad to them.

Ken forgets dierdre went with Mike. Mike didn't force her. She let Ken down not Mike.

[@antoinettehowes6964]

I was thinking the same. Deirdre hurt him more than he did. And of Mike and Deirdre, she was the married one of the pair.

[@Peaceandlove13]

Deidre takes absolutely no accountability, she allow ken to hate mike for her to look like a saint.

[@Rachel-ub3nw]

I can't believe how selfish Ivy Tilsey is. She only ever thinks about how everything effects her.

[@carasmith549]

Very good month for Corrie, with the exception of the Mike Baldwin and Susan Barlow wedding. It looked very uncomfortable for all and felt about as likely as a union between a gangster and Little Bo Peep. Not that it takes long for Susan to turn into a harpy. She really was thoroughly unlikable.

[@CherylReznor162xx]

Just like her dad

[@alexanderjones9572]

When Mike said about someone called Don being best man-I immediately thought of Don Brennan! Look how things ended there! 🚗🚗🚗😱😱😱

[@carasmith549]

The "Don, the Best Man" here is actually Don McCorkindale, stepson of Freddie Mills. He also appeared in Carry On Cabby as one of the drivers, when he was very young.

[@anothercomment]

Yes, 11 years later Don tried to kill Baldwin. Great episode, stunts only happened on occasion in Corrie back in them days, not every week.

[@marjoriejohnston3038]

Did Coronation street keep Ken because he turned out to be grey and despicable, and yet retained misplaced respect because he'd been to university? Educated, against a backdrop where most people weren't, his narcissistic tendencies flourished. Making him a foul man.
