I was 10 years old when these episodes went out and I remember all the characters and their names. What is striking, watching as an adult, is the writing. Rita Fairclough - 'Principles are like a trapdoor, stand on them and you fall through'..... a comment made in a working class corner shop, such a gem on life. The scene where Blanche is trying to convince Dierdre to stay in her marriage was like an Alan Bennett scene, two women, sat at the kitchen table with two things between them - the ubiquitous 'gold' carriage clock, a sign of working class aspirational retirement and a ham butty on white bread without a plate, looking wilted and flat.... I almost passed over this as old TV soap rubbish - but honesly, this is just GOLD.

I started watching Coronation Street some time in the mid 80s and always was charmed by the host of characters, the mix of drama and humor. What strikes me is that, here I am, watching from a few years prior to where I started, and still find all that charm very accessable-even though I barely know the deeper plotline. Thank uou Prof -how on earth did you get all these old videos?! LOL. Well however you did-thank you so ever much!

I never thought the actress who played Suzie, Cheryl Murray, was right for the role. Suzie was supposed to be drop dead gorgeous/sexy, hence all the men going gaga over her. But she just wasn't! To be blunt, there were many prettier, more charismatic actresses around, with better figures. But more to the point, Suzie was written as a cheeky, 'naughty but nice', lovable rogue character. But Murray played Suzie as very dislikable! It was hard to warm to her. Sadly I think the actress just couldn't pull off what was required. And as often happens when an actor has settled into a role, the writers started responding to the way it's played. As a result, Suzie Birchall became a more one-dimensional, self-centred 'baddie' the longer she was in it - till finally she became so unredeemingly horrid, she had to be written out for good! Suzie betrayed her old pal Gail by trying to seduce hubby Brian, and after that Elsie finally had enough and showed her the door. Cheryl Murray cried when producer Bill Podmore called her to his office and told her he was axing Suzie. She pleaded with him to reconsider, as she'd just got a huge mortgage on a swanky house, on the strength of future earnings. But his mind was made up - and I think he was right. All Suzie had to recommend her was youth, without the charisma and sex appeal of Pat Phoenix (Elsie Tanner) she would not have aged well as a character.

We knew Hilda would apologise and Deirdre would accept her apology and they’d be friends again, because we wanted it to happen and also because that’s the kind of characters they were. Even Rita softened after being such a cow to her the day before. Alright, Hilda was tactless and incurred Deirdre’s wrath, but there was no need for Rita to be so scathing. If that was a scene between today’s characters, they wouldn’t be speaking for weeks.
@shylinh5939

Rita was regularly rude and snide towards Hilda and scathing about her to others, about the 'the Oggies' in general. She was always a cut above them - a bit of a discount Annie Walker, She ridiculed and bullied Mavis, her so-called best friend, she was arsey towards Deidre and often Bet too. And obviously, she was full of venom when Elsie was around. though why I don't know, she's the one who ended up with Len. On second thoughts, that's enough to make anyone toxic.

I agree, Rita should have kept out of what went on between Hilda and Deirdre, it was none of her business and not very professional for someone running a business. She must be one of the most unlikeable characters in these classic episodes of Corrie, acting all superior and the 'tough' woman. Thankfully, the character became less of a bully in her later years especially after Len dying and grew up somewhat.

Blanche was a very attractive woman in middle age. She went so thin and wizened in old age, and became quite a different character. Very waspish and very funny - but it's hard to believe it's the same woman we see in these episodes!

@@shylinh5939 I agree, Maggie Jones was a very talented actress, and always totally believable as Deidre's mum. They looked increasingly like mother and daughter as the years rolled by, didn't they - even down to the glasses! After graduating from RADA in the late 1950s, Maggie Jones played several leading West End theatre roles, among them in the all-female cast of 'The Women'. Her first ever TV role in 1961 was in Coronation Street - as a policewoman! I recognised her again in a fleeting Corrie role in black and white from 1967. She played Maggie Monks, a scruffy shoplifter who got chatting to a mortified Annie Walker in a police station waiting room. Maggie advised Annie to do what she did whenever she was arrested - pretend to police she had lost her memory! (Annie was there, rather improbably, for accidentally breaking a shop window, while researching football hooliganism for herself!) Maggie took over the role of Blanche Hunt in 1974, after the suicide of actress Patricia Cutts, who played the role for just two episodes. Maggie popped in for flying visits as Blanche from 1974 - 1998, becoming a permanent cast member from 2000 to her death in 2009. She breathed life and fire into the character Blanche Hunt, making her one of the Street's best ever battleaxes. Who could forget Blanche's love-hate relationship with son-in-law Ken Barlow? Blanche had so many hilarious scenes over the years, but for me, two in particular stand out - when she hijacked her grandson Peter's Alcoholics Anonymous meeting and turned it into family therapy, and her sudden, unshakeable conviction that Ken was gay! Maggie died aged 75 in December 2009, and her screen daughter Deirdre, alias Anne Kirkbride, died just over 5 years later in January 2015, aged 60. Two very special and much-missed women and actresses - and an utterly unforgettable screen mother and daughter.

@@glamdolly30 Thanks for taking the time to write all this information. It's an interesting rundown on Blanche and Maggie Jones' history in Coronation Street. She and Deidrie made a good mother and daughter combination. Blanche was domineering and intrusive, but Deidrie stood up for herself, which was essential to avoid repeatedly compromising her own life and freedoms, the way Mavis did with her manipulative aunt. Blanche didn't sugarcoat anything, always upfront and direct, unsentimental, indelicate and sometimes wounding. She was also endearing and very funny. I don't remember the episode where she hijacked Peter' AA meeting, but I'd like to see it. I do remember her conviction that Ken was gay -brilliant. I loved the way she cut straight through Ken's pomposity and sense of his own rightness in everything. After years of Ken's moral and intellectual grandstanding over his less well-equipped neighbours, it was so refreshing. Blanche was in the tradition of older no-nonsense strong, opinionated matriarchs but with her own twist, avoiding stereotype. Characters like this are an important addition to soaps and one that's absent from today's CS. Maybe Rita and Audrey come the closest but neither are really in that mould.

@@shylinh5939 It's a real pleasure chatting with another fan of vintage Corrie. I'm fascinated by the plotting and scripting of these old episodes, which are surely some of the finest TV drama the UK's ever produced. Crucially the action is always character-driven, which is what powers it and gives it truth and authenticity. It also boasted a superb cast list back then. I gave up on modern Corrie about 10 years ago. Today it's so far from the quality drama it once was, it shouldn't be allowed to carry the Coronation Street name at all IMO! As you identified, the Street's female characters were fantastic, providing the backbone of the soap from its launch in 1960. Strong women are what made it so gripping - reflecting creator Tony Warren's own family and his formative experiences of working class Lancashire life. They might not have been able to admit it, but the women ran the show - on and off screen! As a child, Tony Warren would hide under his mother's kitchen table and eavesdrop on the women, aunties, grandmas, cousins and family friends, gossiping over pots of tea. This no doubt, is where he got his superb ear for dialogue - especially female badinage - and probably a few juicy plots too! As I mentioned, I don't watch Corrie now, but I recently caught a TV report about Maureen Lipman's character. She was clearly intended to be a battleaxe in the Blanche Hunt style, but the clips of her I saw were just a load of badly overacted, poorly written, cliched insults. Not a patch on Blanche, or any of the legendary battleaxes of old - Hilda Ogden, Ena Sharples, Annie Walker, Vera Duckworth and Ivy Tilsley among them - who graced vintage Coronation Street. Hilarious how Ken was the Street intellectual, regarded on a level with Stephen Hawking just because he went to Uni! The number of professional careers he walked into with ease (some with questionable qualifications), was ridiculous. In the Seventies his council 'job description' appeared to be clutching a clipboard and loitering in the Rovers selling raffle tickets. Did he really need a degree for that?! He also had various stints as a teacher at primary and secondary schools, and a sudden, crunching gear-change to become a taxi driver. In the 'eighties he inexplicably morphed into Weatherfield's answer to Rupert Murdoch, as editor of a free sheet that employed only one reporter! But of course Ken was drunk with power and abused it to do a hatchet job on his nemesis Mike Baldwin's new Graffitti nightclub. The newspaper's owner wasn't having that (Mike was a big buyer of advertising), and put Ken firmly back in his box! Ken's pathological pomposity was constantly asking to be pricked, and a bloody huge, razor sharp 'pin' arrived in the shape of Blanche Hunt. I loved Blanche from her earliest appearances, giving her loutish son-in-law Ray Langton a tongue lashing for refusing to change Tracy-luv's nappies. It's a miracle Deirdre persuaded so many men to marry her (Ken twice), when she came as a package-deal with the mother-in-law from hell! If you've never seen Blanche's magnificent 'Alcoholics Anonymous' takeover of 2009, you are in for a treat. Here's the link - Enjoy! XXX kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5Cnhnhnn756ncU

Agreed, it's shocking how even Deirdre's Mum Blanche who can't bloody stand Ray, is urging her to stick with him after he cheated on her! It shows how sadly dependent women were on men back then. I seem to recall even Rita made a pious little speech about what a fool Deirdre was for throwing out a perfectly good husband. Which was prescient, since she would soon split with her own grotty hubby Len, before taking him back because she couldn't stand supporting herself as a middle aged, single woman!
