Coronation Street - September 1986

[@rbr2023]

God knows why they were all so happy to have Vera back in that factory she’s got a voice that shatters glass

[@ThatMattOne]

Vera is absolute gold. "I applied for a receptionist job. With a nice speaking voice. Y'know I can just see myself doing that receptioning!" Love it!!! 😂

[@RichardGodber-p1s]

“Ya Whaaaaat? You cheeekeee monkeee”

[@timmytrimble4069]

Nice to see the microphone putting in an apearance. Not seen it for a long time,

[@joannenash1247]

Loved hilda ogden , quality character ❤

[@donnapirihi7242]

Totally agree with you, such a kind person.

[@RichardGodber-p1s]

I’m only watching up til she leaves

[@junesymonds8340]

Thank you again for these precious gems. Very much appreciated.🤩

[@raidenwolfe6495]

Mike you've made my day knocking mighty mouth off her high horse! 😂

[@ryanwilliams1800]

Watching again now i am shocked by how horrible Vera is

[@suzanneholdsworth7869]

She was vile

[@theresapierce3934]

Why should Brian just accept what Gail has done and be happy at the thought of being a father to someone else's child. She was all for leaving Brian, taking Nicky and buggering off to Australia.

[@londonlady227]

Brian's had his flings too, they were brushed over.

[@theresapierce3934]

​@Londonlady I know what Brian did and maybe he would have got over Gail's fling, given his past indiscretion, but I still think expecting him to accept the possibility of the baby being Ians and to play happy families, is a but much.

[@londonlady227]

​@@theresapierce3934I'd probably think he would've made sure that the baby wasnt his first.

[@londonlady227]

Gail should've, she would've had a more exciting life in Oz

[@jstewart3517]

Brian is nothing but a spoiled cuddled momma's boy Ivy created this monster he's a cheatin dog

[@dementednun1175]

I liked Gloria but I don't think they knew what to do with the character

[@londonlady227]

The actress being pregnant was a good story to have her leave.

[@criddyla696]

Off to brook side and a closeted husband

[@suzanneholdsworth7869]

I didn't realise her son played Craig Harris.

[@Aucht52]

Vera Duckworth’s voice grates on my nerves, but she was a brilliant actress. Same with Hilda Ogden. The actress was priceless. Bette Lynch too. When I was younger I’d know idea how fantastic actors they all were.

[@cathy3613]

Gail is a stooge.. sleeping with another guy and then thinking a maybe his pregnancy is just the answer to a good marriage. Taking it out on everyone else is bull

[@philstrachan]

And playing the victim in it all 🙄

[@joannesaltfleet2071]

Gail has a face that could turn milk sour!

This was the golden age of Corrie! A wonderful era of memorable characters and storylines.

Gloria “They have been around a while, one or two of them pies.” Bet “Yeah, well... get Hilda to give it a good dusting.” 😂😂😂

[@MultiKs22]

Vera is just pure class to watch if only of todays coronation street stars could act like Vera. then if would might just become a good soap again like it was in the old days with great actors and actress they had like Elsie. Vera, ivy mike Hilda betty and jack and Phyllis to name but a few. its the first time that mike yelled at Emily bishop and told her get out it its just fantastic to watch.

[@annmc8392]

Vera was begging to be sacked. She needs to engage her brain before putting her mouth in gear.

[@wandaevans9756]

She always irritated me. That voice! Ugh.

[@fluxington]

Come on, it's obviously not possible!

[@perpetualblond1]

thank you so much!!! Im going in order LOL

[@angieo5513]

Lovely! Thanks very much.😀

[@joannesaltfleet2071]

I remember those days when they wrote to you saying you had an interview and to ring them to say if you were going or not.

[@jonathancheetham7683]

All these women defending Gail. If it’d been Brian getting some other woman pregnant, they’d want him dead.

[@brendang8177]

Gail said I can't kill my own child - yet she wanted to get rid of david when she was pregnant with him.

[@MissMarie1377]

She also talked about killing this baby at the very beginning. Before she told Brian it may not be his

[@AriAdu]

Yeah but it made a great story for The child David to find out years later

[@MarcoNegrisEye]

How will Brian divorcing droopy drawers be the end for him and Nicky!? Even if he didn't get custody he would absolutely get shared custody?

[@MissMarie1377]

Did they give shared custody a lot there in the 80’s? Because shared custody is popular now but wasn’t so much then. The dad would get every other weekend (which is 4 days each month) then 2weeks in the summer. It was a standard arrangement , at least where I live, in that time. They thought a father was unnecessary

[@AriAdu]

Some of the lines spoken were just wrong and stupid. That one about him losing Nicky fits the bill.

[@MarcoNegrisEye]

@@MissMarie1377 I don't know how it worked to be honest, I was 4 years old in September 1986 to be fair so...🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@philstrachan]

Not in the 80s.

Vera “There’s only one boss in family, and that’s ‘usband. That’s something I’ve always said, isn’t it.” 😅😅😅

[@dantemedici8179]

Why does Emily always look like she is in Edwardian fancy dress?

[@MissMarie1377]

I adore that you guys call costumes “fancy dress”. I wish that was a saying here. Makes it sound classy and upscale. I love it.

[@angelapay3718]

Because she is

[@Able363]

Not like Susan who dresses like a 50 year old 😂 And if Ken puts on anymore weight those trousers will burst at the seams 😂😂😂

[@HelloImNik]

she's a spectre that's why 😂

[@ashleybrocklebank2718]

Well Gail get all she deserved, She still hasn’t changed to this day. A man only has to look at Gail and she’s over him like a rash, drives them crazy and ends up in t’ canal. She’ll be all over Martin soon, she’s just waiting for his balls to drop 😂

[@tinaquinn9042]

Gail is getting worse

[@tinaquinn9042]

Vera deserved to get sacked

[@GinaRussell-c2c]

I love ❤️ Corrie back in day and I like 👍 the characters but my favourite 5 characters are bet Hilda Vera jack and Alec, bet Hilda and Vera just get straight to the point and don’t beat around the bush! Thanks for the upload

Who’s Vera kidding? She’s the boss and poor Jack knows it

[@LadyOfShaIott]

Alf - ‘I must need my bumps feeling’…😅

[@alexanderjones9572]

I know a lot of people didn’t like Susan, but it’s nice of her to be on this ‘reinstate Vera’ crusade-when she’s the one Vera had a go at-leading to Vera’s dismissal!

She's a lovely girl.

[@TheMeeja]

Susan wanted rid knowing Deirdre's been given a seeing to on it... With countless others!

[@londonlady227]

I think it represented the bachelor life of Baldwin so it was chucked out and the flat made more feminine.

[@jonathancheetham7683]

Hilda is delightful with the young people!

[@chicagogyrl4846]

Why is Mavis even talking to Derrick when he married someone else??! And why is she counseling him on his marriage??! 😂🤣

[@MissMarie1377]

Actually ivy a little boy suffers far worse consequences without a father than without a mother. (Obviously neither option is good. I’ll say it here so I don’t get the “A mother would be a big loss too” response, that’s obvious but must be said I guess) It’s been long enough and we have made divorce so easy (almost more favored than marriage) that we have seen the consequences on mass. Another thing we trashed with “progress”, the family. And we see how well we are doing now🙄

[@deee1776]

I’m confused as to how Alf can say the baby is DEFINITELY Brian’s.

[@booth2710]

If Ken is short staffed in his newspaper office he could take on Vera

[@philstrachan]

I've been bingecwatching these older episodes - life was so much easier then.

[@stevebbuk9557]

I don't know who wrote the Gail-is-unfaithful storyline but it's completely unbelievable. No wonder I had stopped watching the show several years previously.

[@ara8253]

So many poor actors with just a few exceptions. So many dislikeable characters for a small street and a backstreet pub. I missed the original showing from the mid 80s onwards and have read that Corrie deteriorates, just didn't realise it started so soon. Knowing that certain characters are around for years to come like Gail, Audrey, Barlow etc etc is an encouragement to give up. Wilton reappearing is almost unbearable. Hilda keeps me interested. I might stay to see the 80s out and then reconsider.

[@paulaclayton309]

Awww Sally 😢

[@Deborah4Antiques]

Rita looks much. prettier and softer with the lighter hair.

Annoying Vera who lives in Vera land, where everything revolves around Vera with no consequences for her runaway gob! If she was real I’d keep my distance.

[@simplywonderful1]

It’s true. Her character definitely softened into a bit more of cuddly grandma as time went on

[@phillip8617]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/ol6pontvmLCjZrM Vera's right about being spied on, microphone above them hahaha

[@ddrose06]

Mike has no idea. The only time his employees should ever see him, is at the factory. He shouldn't be drinking in the same pub, or socializing with them. Hell, he went to Jack and Vera's house warming party! As for reversing himself. This is only the first time he fired Vera, then took her back.

[@markstevens9660]

How come Percy got charged 37 p for 1/2 pt and Ken 35 for 1 pt 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ …..

[@mlk1965]

The extra 2p must be for the aggravation of having Percy in the shop.

[@veronicaboyce6962]

Once a cheat always a cheat. No sympathy for Gail. Period. There's no point in any man or woman putting up with an unfaith irresponsible partner caring on with a side-dish in the family home. No thought whatsoever for the child. Bout she love Brian😂😂😂taking the Arthur Bliss😂😂. Outside man played her like a didgeridoo. Brian can be a whole table and Gail will still mess around with a napkin.
