Who knew that making a soap opera based on likeable and relatable characters could be as good as this? Writers in 2021 take note

[@mrsWELCOME008]

I wish ITV 3 puts the old 60's episodes from the beginning on - if they did this, they would have huge ratings. The reason I say this, is because Corrie is thought of as an 'Old Friend'. If Corrie is going to celebrate it's 70th Anniversary, what is needed to do achieve this is to get a proper strict Producer, get rid of half it's cast, get rid of half an hour per week and new writers. If this does not happens, it would end up like Crossroads.

[@EveHenleySpread]

Yep I’d be very interested in watching that myself, I’m not sure if they’ve got all the tape - wasn’t there rumours it had been destroyed in a fire!? I might be wrong. I had a free trial on Brit Box and you were able to watch 1 episode from each year which tbh.. isn’t great lol! 🤷‍♀️

[@spartybrearly7221]

The difference then was a cast of superb actors.

[@nativenewlondoner]

2022 they’re saddled with writers who think they’re writing a pantomime and ‘actors’ who act like they’re in one. It’s dreadful.

I love the character of Alma played by Amanda Barry. Shes such an attractive lady & can remember her in the old Carry On films! The glamourous " it " girls in the Carry On films, apart from Barbara Windsor was Amanda Barry & Fenella Fielding. I hope Amanda stays in the street now for a good while longer, i think her role of Alma is a good one & can be developed really well Thank you to EveHenleySpread for these uploads.. 10 out of 10 Regards 🇬🇧👧

"Straight up" Paula Abdul was on tv Bet was watching at end on seen when Alec was ordering her to earn her keep w housework and laundry. That was great. I like how they picked songs relating to what's going on in scene. Very nice touch

Alma was a real cow when she first became a regular.

[@Kiinell]

As much as I love Bet I had no sympathy at all for her in this situation. She knew exactly how Alec would feel about her going out on the razzle with Stella's husband, or anyone else's for that matter. If Stella was such a good mate she should have gone out with her.

Percy and Phyllis remind me of Compo and Nora Batty but with the roles reversed. Here its the woman chasing after the man with romantic ideas and he isn't the slightest bit interested lol

[@cicerodiello1]

Thank you for posting the classic years. I have downloaded 1976-1995. I thought I’d start with 1989 and see Alan Bradley. I just couldn’t get into the episodes of early 2022 and went back to the past. The theme song is better. I did eventually manage to watch February - December 2022. It was crazy! From nothing happening, it was suddenly very busy and my goodness! A forty year old woman off her trolley on booze and drugs is unaware she’s pregnant and next thing, a baby! Now they are essentially repeating the Richard Hillman years by featuring Audrey’s son as a killer who has actually stolen all the equity in her property. Audrey was once the critical thinker and now ? ? I don’t know. I can’t watch one episode at a time. I’ll go back to it after the year has ended and back track. Meanwhile, all these little beauties from the past. They’re rippers! ❤

[@EveHenleySpread]

You’re very welcome Lisa, glad you’re enjoying them… if I were you I’d start at April 1976 (when Elsie Tanner returns)… as for me that period is golden television! But maybe I’m a bit old fashioned! Cheers for the lovely comment! 😉 x

[@cicerodiello1]

@@EveHenleySpreadEve, Thank you again for the uploads. I watched from 1989 to the end of 1996 which is what I was up to to after having seen 1997, 1998, 1999 earlier this year. At the beginning of April I went back to 1976 and have smashed through the years to 1989. You were so right. I adored the seventies and eighties (my childhood years) and agree that the turning point was 1983/84. My absolute favourite is Elsie Tanner. I was sitting there wondering who the magnetic redhead was and there you go! It’s been very interesting observing the culture of Northern England in those days when people just walked into each others houses without knocking. Seeing Deidre walking at night when the real Yorkshire Ripper was on the loose in 1977 chilled me. I’ve downloaded 1960-76 and will go back to the beginning soon. I have enjoyed learning about the breweries selling pubs that previously had long term tenants and managers. Thank you so much. What a legend is Elsie Tanner ❤ I am an Australian who has been residing in Italy for two and a half years. These uploads may have saved my life. The diversion from what’s going on in the world and nostalgia is just beautiful. Eve, 🙏

[@zanducktv2398]

That’s the same policewoman who told Gail about what happened to Brian, isn’t it? I’d like to think Mark had a little chat with Nicky, gave him a drink and a biscuit and maybe a tour of the garage before returning him home to Gail. The photographs scene is touching.

1:18:14 - Bet says, "What do you expect me to do, Alec, lock myself away in the attic like that mad woman in Wuthering Heights?" I think she must mean Bertha Mason, who was the mad woman in the attic, but in Jane Eyre, not Wuthering Heights. The writers got the wrong Bronte story.

What kind of a mother thinks “having” to spend her days raising her children would throw her into a depression?!? And sorry, when you have kids “your own life “ takes a back seat. It’s not a burden it’s a blessing. Being self focused and self obsessed won’t bring happiness (obviously, look at how miserable she is) . It’s quite the opposite, focusing on others and doing selfless things for people you love IS happiness. Sad that some people never learn that lesson. Family and people you love are EVERYTHING. Money, career, material things don’t make you happy. And since when is jumping when your boss snaps, punching a time clock to make fries for truckers some kind of “independence”?!?! It’s so dumb I don’t know how a whole generation (or two) fell for it. Well, women do love a trend

[@tracygrant7931]

Well a career can make you happy. What if you never meet anyone that loves you? Some people don't have that luck you know
