Steve wouldn't have pulled that stunt on Vicky if Bet had still been on the scene. She was the only one who could put the frighteners on him.

I think a few people lived to regret not helping Bet in her hour of need.

So Liz goes from screaming that she won't have Steve set foot in her house, to inviting him to stay there. Her parental astuteness never ends. And she wonders why Steve is the way he is.

[@carasmith549]

Anyone else finding it rather difficult to feel any sympathy towards 'Lady' Victoria in the McDonald conspiracy court case? Looking back at mid-1995, Steve wasn't really showing any keen interest in her, but she was determined to 'get him': to show Fiona, as well as Bet and Alec, that she was top dog: The Winner. She got more than she bargained for.

[@maureencurry4276]

Very boring story line.

[@tazzie2shoos]

I am finding Ashley's girlfriend/Ken's live in Nanny so tedious, I honestly don't care where she took the baby today and how much easier it would be if she could drive......... but I did enjoy seeing Steve eye rolling Mcdonald get what he deserved.

25 minutes in and I'm hoping we don't see too much more of Fiona. She puts everything on a downer. Her face could turn fresh milk sour from a hundred yards.

[@christinefougere]

She certainly is moody, mostly in a bad mood. What a drip. And she shouts at everyone, LOL

[@TROYTOWN2]

Totally thought the same, she is so moody, bet it hurts her to smile.

[@AriAdu]

A bit harsh...she gave the producers what they wanted. As for her face...she's beautiful

[@Fearless-wi4ng]

Liz is the worst. That overbite, one facial expression and every word sounds like she has a mouthful of spit.

[@lynnem3300]

And her brother is even worse, AND a controlling bully.

[@tresfeles2784]

Des has darker, slicker hair this year. Trying to make him look younger, I guess.

Given the chance I think Ashley would leave Ken's baby in the house by it's self. I don't remember him being so Thoughtless and Selfish. He's leading Amanda into trouble with her job and Ken 😳

3:25:00 onward... really great dialogue.. The young girl can only say "I don't mind" numerous times... I can't even be bothered to count. Is this where Corrie starts going downhill? sorry folks... but I'm trapped in my home, struggling to find anything interesting, I'm unvaxxed therefore a threat to society and confined to my home... I have not had a TV for decades, just t'internet, so am very glad that @EveHenleySpread has posted ALL these for me to catch up... well done you. :)

[@Roryvhs]

Each to their own, I thought the scene with Becky was funny when she just said "I don't mind" to everything, then called Des a plonker 😆Good actress, Emily Aston.

I dont know what effects me more. Real contempt for Steve or frustrated exasperation with Vickey.

[@SuzyQ334]

If we're comparing a soap storyline to real life IMHO they were both too young - Vicky lost her parents and should never have been handed all that money at 18 or got married so young. And no one, I mean no one, deserves a father like Jim McDonald.

[@alicecobb7763]

And no one deserves a mother like Liz .. ( unfaithful x 3)

[@KuchiKopi179]

​​@@SuzyQ334r even if the money was handed at 18, there should have been some financial counciling. £250k especially back then in Manchester would have bought her a lot of houses she could have rented out for extra income. I mean an average terrace was £30k, detached £70k and a semi £45k.

[@ginagina9720]

I love ❤️ the old ones of Corrie I remember watching this, What is Joyce up to? I hope 🤞 Fiona goes to visit Steve in the big house! (As Jim calls it) I think Jim still loves liz but liz is having none of it! I think 🤔 them pictures of jack and Vera are great!

[@SuzyQ334]

By the 1990s there are some seriously tedious storylines that dragged on way too long and made even massive fans hit the ff-button. Sorry, but the Steve & Vicky saga was one for me - plus any scene involving anyone with the last name McDonald.

[@SuzyQ334]

"it's only a prison visit - no big deal" - really? I went through the so-called "care" system in the UK after being born into the family from hell. Now in my 60s, I know no one who has ever been in jail and the only jail I've ever visited was Alcatraz in San Francisco which was a lot of fun. I think 1996 was when Corrie's scriptwriters/producers started losing the plot.

[@bibakroll8999]

I've never heard a visit to Alcatraz as "a lot of fun"! The people I know who've visited found it very moving and quite disturbing. Not meant as criticism of you, just kinda interesting.

[@ThatMattOne]
