Coronation Street - October 1986

[@bsaunders5271]

Watching this in the sad knowledge that the irreplaceable Hilda will leave at end of the following year. So many of the all time greatest characters have already gone (Stan, Elsie, Ena, Eddie..) . Can't imagine it without Hilda. At least there are years still to come with Bet and Rita.

[@shanemanchester]

Hilda the best ever actress in The Street. It’s hard to believe she was never actually married off screen.

[@mattburke3457]

Wow really? Really hard to believe she never married. She is such a gem

[@Alan-ss3xp]

Perhaps all the men watching thought Hilda was not acting!

I could never understand why Brian Tilsley was considered a sort of heart-throb of The Street, I could not abide him. Arrogant man.

[@H3len50]

Me neither, always thought he was a horrible person.

Nice hair, but does he ever open his mouth all the way. He talks through his teeth.

[@staceygrove5976]

@@H3len50 More boring than horrible.

[@MarcoNegrisEye]

If you want to understand anything, you could have a go at how the writers expect us to believe brain of Britain Barlow had a Eureka moment courtesy of a childs suggestion of drawing a name out a box re the competition fiasco. And furthermore expecting the viewers to wear it as a realistic solution 😂

[@nicolataylor6011]

Because compared to Jack Duckworth Percy Sugden, Alec Gilroy, Derek Wilton and Alf Roberts..he was..

[@memoir4you]

Hilda really came into her own in 1986 , acting mediator between Kevin & Terry earlier in the year and for sticking up for Kevin & Sally here. Plus ,she helped re open the Rovers .

[@H3len50]

Gail does my head in, how dare she be all high and mighty when she cheated on her husband. She seems to have forgotten this. What a lovely person she is when she is using her child as a weapon against her husband. The Chinless wonder really is a right arse ;-)

[@4evernate28]

To know she’s still on the show to this day really makes me wonder how much longer I’ll be able to go on before i have to drop out.

Thinking after seeing Susan here, were did the Barlow twins both go to get rid of their Glasgow accents?!

[@suzanndurrette120]

not only accents but eventually a major change in Peter's hair colour, then Simon's. No disrespect, but any person with common sense has to wonder. Fun with DNA and everyone is happy :)

[@SOLARSHED13]

How can Simon Barlow be halfcast when both parents are white. No one has ever mentioned this.

[@shylinh5939]

Hilda told Sally that Stan never laid a hand on her, but in the early days he used to be violent towards her and their youngest children, who ended up being taken into care. Very different from later Stan, thankfully.

[@nicolemclean9028]

Adopted out & never mentioned again, just forgotten

[@shylinh5939]

​@@nicolemclean9028 That is so unrealistic, even if the kids were never returned, no one would behave as though they'd never existed. I didn't know Stan's character had been violent in the past until I read about these other children.

[@mosaicmuse9797]

[@ryanwilliams1800]

Ivy to me seems ok. Gail, Vera and Susan are all awful though. Ivy at times went a bit OTT over her religious beliefs but she always stood by her son when he was treated unfairly by Gail or anyone else.

2:08:20 Derek says he dislikes golf and can't play despite taking lessons. Yet just two years earlier In August 1984 (before the wedding that never was) he was entertaining Mavis at his house and said he played golf a lot and had a handicap of 22 which he said "wasn't bad"
