Deirdre showing just how much of a twisted, manipulative and downright evil upper hand women have over men with one question to Liz after asking if Jim knew she was pregnant. "Are you gonna tell 'im?" Unbelievable 😠
Poor Ivy, sad how she left with her funeral off screen. I don't care what anyone says about her, she had a hard life and only ever wanted to keep her son's and husband's memories alive through her grandchildren, which is perfectly understandable to me. Getting them to change their names when Gail married Martin was insensitive to say the least. But then Gail was only ever really about what she wanted, chip off her mother's block! And when poor Stan Ogden died, who was the main one who bothered to see if Hilda was coping and making tea and meals for her? Ivy Tilsley! So farewell to a great character, I thought she was great entertainment.
When Jack goes with Don to look for cars, the car salesman does the unforgivable & assumes the buyer cant afford the most expensive cars because of how they are dressed or how they speak My boss at the Electricity Board Showroom where i worked while i was a student many decades ago told me to NEVER ASSUME ! Years earlier he tried to ignore a strangely dressed oldish woman in the appliances showroom he worked in. She pestered him re; fridge/freezers, large " Rayburn" type ovens etc. She was dressed in a rough tweed coat, tied with a piece of rope, a terribly battered old hat with her wild hair sticking out from her hat, wearing ankle length Wellington type boots Obviously he assumed she was an old tramp & almost turfed her out onto the street, she was very eccentric so he tolerated her telling him she wanted the most expensive fridge/freezer, Same with the outrageously expensive oven & other such products! As she dragged him to his showroom desk, sat down, whipped out her cheque book, ready to write out the very large final total of her purchases, He was flabbergasted to see her name! She was the matriarch of the Guinness family, millionaires!! She was totally legit! This regal like old lady then admonished him, with a smile telling him... Never Assume! My boss said it was a valuable lesson he learned that day! He treat every customer as if they were as royal as the Queen Many times he said, he gained respect & praise & thus success by customers who dressed & seemed like tramps only to find they were famous pop stars or film stars incognito & because he treat them so well, they chose to buy from him because he didnt assume they couldn't afford! I never forgot his story & im in full agreement Never Assume! .. its been fortunate for me to observe this Advice! Cheers 🇬🇧👧
The Wilting Wiltons' "Saga of the Runaway Gnome" is just about the most tedious story of the whole decade of the 1990s, with the possible exception of the grating turn-off inducing Curly-Kimberley romance. First, the Wiltons suffer the Boat Debacle, then the Dormobile Drama, and now the Gnome Nightmare: it's as if they cannot exist without something silly and rather pointless to panic over.
I recall Barbara Knox saying the show was being reduced to the level of a Whitehall farce with the gnome storyline, think she took some time out as a result! Don’t forget Mavis and the Mile Muncher mishap too!
@@zanducktv2398 yes, she was right in a way. the show did bring in a large element of farce, and using the same characters, like the wiltons or the duckworths. this was supposed to balance out the relentless tragedy that could become extremely tiresome and depressing. i found gail's occasional breakdowns awfully tiresome. if, however, we contrast the show from the 70s and early 80s, the characters were much more developed and well rounded. consider the ogdens. yes, they often found themselves in farcical situations, like the donkey, and the colour television. but these farcical situations were much more balanced against the character and the position in society. jean alexander played the role brilliantly. she couldn't help herself from earwigging in other people's conversations, and the way she would worm herself closer to that conversation could be very humorous, and fairly believable. and then contrast the tragedy in their lives. these were very endearing and poignant. who can forget stan's death. after this though hilda's character become very narrow, and the only way the writers could generate sympathy for the woman who often caused a lot problems with her gossip, was through ameliorative sympathy.
Don't forget the most impossible episode of Derek drilling through Rita's ceiling, through the joists, through the airspace then through Reg's joists then through the floorboards then enough drill to go through the water bed🤣
Julie Goodyear plays a great character as bet Gilroy, I loved the Heart ❤️ to heart ❤️ she had with Alec, I was filling up with tears 😭 when she was saying farewell to Alec I only wish they would have stayed together they made a lovely couple
Who on earth thought up this rubbish story about gnomes? Absolute rubbish!! Thelma Barlow deserves better material, excellent actress that she is. Whereas the part where Phyllis cries for her youth! Absolutely brilliant. I understand Phyllis. I am 81 and I was beautiful once and I don't know this woman I see in the mirror nowadays. I get it Phyllis. Great script!
Actress who played Trica armstrong is now Mayor of West Yorkshire, Jamie is Vinnie in Brassic. When ever money is mentioned i google inflation calculator, the Duckworths had equivalent to £60,000 in 2024.
This was a period when the principal actors must have said to each other "This is really crap, isn't it. But we're getting well paid for it!" A terrible series of storylines with fairly average actors. Who thought it was a good idea to include Victoria in more than one episode?! She's dreadfully wooden and has no place in a working class community. I think the producers just gave up because everybody was watching Eastenders!!
It was bad in this era looking back but then if you watch Eastenders back then too it was largely shit too, probably better than Corrie but still boring and slow. I watched a fair bit of 1995 stuff during lockdown when it was on uk gold/drama or whatever and it was largely boring and bad too. It was just that in 1995 there was no internet, mobile phones and very few people had sky so soaps could get away with churning out crap. Corrie was known to be particularly bad around this era and in 1996 and that's why Brian Parker came in and changed it alot in 1997 and modernised it. I not watched soaps in years now, lost all interest.
I think Alec should let Vicky learn by her own mistakes and I think 🤔 Alec should have gave Vicky his blessing we all know Steve can be a toe rag but it’s Vicky life and she should be able to marry who she loves and learn by her own mistakes in life…thank you for the video another great episode
Vicky was born to wealth and was an arrogant, cocky ,entitled little madam. When it came to marrying Steve, I would have let her get on with it. She refused advice and acted like a twerp. I don't like her character or stories, so am not invested in what happens to her. If Steve takes all her money, who cares. Steve is a wannabe gangsta spiv.
No actually Thelma Barlow had already decided to leave before the decision to cull Derek was made by Brian Park (the axeman 🪓). She didn’t like the direction the show was going - and who can blame her!
I wonder when Terry Duckworth will turn up when he sniffs out Jack & Vera have come into money? He has an uncanny knack of just knowing when he can con anyone out of their dosh!

@@chrissywales6575 the actor was only 35 here but agreed he looked much older. Anne kirkbride who played Deirdre was 40 here and looked more like 50. Kirkbride had years of bad health, alcoholism and smoked so that aged her. But people back then looked older as styles were different along with old style filming which added years. If you look at stee mc Fadden in this era who plays Phil in EastEnders he was only 35 too but looked much older. The same goes for Ross Kemp who joined Eastenders at age 25 but looked early 30s at the least. Even the actresses who played Sharon and Michelle in Eastenders looked much older in the 90s when they were only in their mid-later 20s but it was the early 90s hair and fashion that aged them a lot. Sharon dressed like a middle aged woman when she was married to Grant and the actress was only 25-28 at this point from 1992 to 1995.

Hard to believe the actors playing Mavis and Derek accepted their large salaries for this pathetic gnome storyline, in good conscience. They must have known how ridiculous it was.
it wasn't their fault. they didn't write the story. i just find it unfair the producers continually used the wiltons and duckworths for farce and ridicule. this moved their characters towards stereotypes that had little scope for development.
Please watch This Is Your Life Programne starring Liz Dawn As Vera! It's a hoot! Vera & Liz are as ditzy & scatterbrained as each other! There are some very funny real life events related by the guests on Liz's " This is Your Life" Including her real name... Sylvia Butterworth! She took her stage name from the Christian names of her 2 daughters Elizabeth & Dawn! Cheers 🇬🇧👧
What language does "Jim MacDonald" speak? I have a friend who was born and bred in Belfast and she reckons she needs subtitles every time this character opens his mouth. "Catch yourself on" is one of her favourite "omg - wtf is he saying?" I guess the Corrie scriptwriters didn't bother to talk to a real Northern Irish person before they wrote the script for "Jim". Either way, Jim Macdonald is up there with Reg Holdsworth as two of the most unpleasant, unlikable men in Corrie.
Haha yes! Also Nicky & Tricias son Jamie who looks like Steve So with a bit of magic making Nicky & Jamie the same age Then they could have played another set of twin boys for Jim & Liz MacDonald! Cheers 🇬🇧👧
I so much wanted Bett to ask Alec to stay ^& give it another go! So sad 😢 because they made a great pair! Whether as sparring partners or as sweet romantic lovers! I just miss Alec so much! Thing is, ive seen the monthly picture headers for future Corries which show Alec very much in the show but no Bett! I know she leaves but why & with who? Charlie returning for her? Or someone else?

Ok, Kevin and Sally must have insurance, right??? Why are they acting like Bill has to DIY it? Insurance would cover EVERYTHING. She would get a whole new kitchen. If the carpets are wet from fire trucks, those would get replaced too. I mean, an update, professionally done when you live on their budget would not be terrible. They lost nothing precious, kids were never in danger…..only a new kitchen and whatever that room they eat in is(dining room/living room. I’m not sure)
Insurance wasn't exactly a common thing with working class people in the UK in 80s and 90s and even the early 2000s. Now many mortgage banks require it as an obligation for loans.
@EveHenleySpread really. I bought an old type semi in 1993 and that was 50,500 then, and it was the North East so it certainly wasn't over priced or excessive, so I was just trying to compare. It was a lovely windfall for them and certainly would buy a small terrace, but a business as well just seemed a bit over hopeful.
Ivy passed away in the night. Her death would have been off screen. What or how would Don tell Gail and the his grandchildren Nick,Sarah and David their Grandma Ivy has died. First was the Tilsley brothers Ivy was married to then her Brian was stabbed to death and now Ivy has died Nick and Sarah are the only remaining Tilsleys living on the Street nowadays.

I don't think philis looks well
she has lost a lot of weight since her break. I read she was in hospital at the time.
How can the actress that plays Vera be okay with her being so thick?
She was probably playing herself.. as a lot of the cast were! 🤷♀️🥴
Please watch This Is Your Life
Programne starring Liz Dawn
As Vera!
It's a hoot!
Vera & Liz are as ditzy & scatterbrained as each other!
There are some very funny real life events related by the guests on Liz's " This is Your Life"
Including her real name...
Sylvia Butterworth!
She took her stage name from the Christian names of her 2 daughters
Elizabeth & Dawn!
Cheers
🇬🇧👧
She probably cried all the way to the bank.
Funny to think that the police officer would become Marlon Dingle and would be reunited with Jamie as his cousin Eli in Emmerdale in a few years time!
bit of an oversight by the producers here, as they cast him as a pizza delivery driver last year.
@@eatmywords aye but it's hardly an oversight. Who would remember a pizza delivery guy who had a miniscule scene a YEAR prior to this latest part?
hey yeah Marlon Dingle from Emmerdale
Meet's his brother Eli Dingle
What language does "Jim MacDonald" speak? I have a friend who was born and bred in Belfast and she reckons she needs subtitles every time this character opens his mouth. "Catch yourself on" is one of her favourite "omg - wtf is he saying?" I guess the Corrie scriptwriters didn't bother to talk to a real Northern Irish person before they wrote the script for "Jim". Either way, Jim Macdonald is up there with Reg Holdsworth as two of the most unpleasant, unlikable men in Corrie.
Charles Lawson played Jim Macdonald. Charles was born in Northern Ireland.
A great UK Actor 🇬🇧✊👍
I like Jim, so I do. Fair play to him!
Depends where in NI youre.from. catch yoursel on is was.very common on north coast.area where I grew up
brilliant don at the end kicking off lol he was one best characters ever :)
His character was a right Dopey aggressive nob head and boring 🥱🥱
@@David-h4z2s your openion
Young Nick looks like he cd b Andy's lil bro
Haha yes!
Also Nicky & Tricias son Jamie who looks like Steve
So with a bit of magic making
Nicky & Jamie the same age
Then they could have played another set of twin boys for Jim & Liz MacDonald!
Cheers
🇬🇧👧
This is when the programme started to go downhill. Ridiculous plots, two dimensional characters, and no one would believe the story of the gnome!
I am glad they wrote the Ivy character out. It was obvious they were only her to express the gay creator/writers anti-catholic views.
Vicky was Naive what toerag Steve was
Nick looks a lot older than 13
They've definitely tried to make Vera into the new Hilda this past month or two with the few misappropriations that's been dropped into her script.
I so much wanted Bett to ask Alec to stay ^& give it another go!
So sad 😢 because they made a great pair! Whether as sparring partners or as sweet romantic lovers!
I just miss Alec so much!
Thing is, ive seen the monthly picture headers for future Corries which show Alec very much in the show but no Bett!
I know she leaves but why & with who?
Charlie returning for her?
Or someone else?
Or does she go back to Spain to
Serve in her own bar?
All the best ones leave... 😭
Thank you EHS
🇬🇧👧
Nope.. she leaves by herself.. with no-one!
@@EveHenleySpread
Awww how sad😢
Our wonderful beautiful Queen of the Rovers, my Heroine Bett
Id hoped she left with Charlie who came back & carried her out to a new life, like gypsies!
Or dear cuddly " Tiger" Alec coming back & declaring his undying love for her & refusing to take No for an answer!
Or someone new, dashing, honest & head over heels in love with our dearest Bett, taking her away to a luxury Malibu beach house!
No no no, not leaving on her own!
Not our Bett!
Shes perfection & a Goddess!
Cheers & thank you
🇬🇧👧
Marlon Dingle, a cop and a pizza delivery driver.
4:13:53 Maude is so fun. 😊
Jim Saying To Andy He's Lucky!!! Being British Male 🇬🇧✊ Young Almost A Crime In These Horrible Woke Time's Love This Era Of Corrie👍 Unlike The Crap It Is Now😫😭
Ah man why couldn’t Alec & Bet given it another go 😢
The butcher guy gives me serial killer vibes 😳
Sick of seeing crying babies
Vicky was God Awful.
The car salesman to Jack should learn to never a judge a book by its cover.
Unless it's a w ank book of course.
Derek gets stranger 😂everyday. 😅 1:35:35
Kevin can really be a nasty piece of work.
Leo looks like feargal sharkey
Alec only wanted the best for stuck up vicky she is only 18
Ok, Kevin and Sally must have insurance, right???
Why are they acting like Bill has to DIY it? Insurance would cover EVERYTHING. She would get a whole new kitchen. If the carpets are wet from fire trucks, those would get replaced too. I mean, an update, professionally done when you live on their budget would not be terrible. They lost nothing precious, kids were never in danger…..only a new kitchen and whatever that room they eat in is(dining room/living room. I’m not sure)
Insurance wasn't exactly a common thing with working class people in the UK in 80s and 90s and even the early 2000s. Now many mortgage banks require it as an obligation for loans.
Would 30,000 have actually bought a shop and business in 1995. Doesn't seem a lot.
Yes it definitely would have
@EveHenleySpread really. I bought an old type semi in 1993 and that was 50,500 then, and it was the North East so it certainly wasn't over priced or excessive, so I was just trying to compare. It was a lovely windfall for them and certainly would buy a small terrace, but a business as well just seemed a bit over hopeful.
Bill Webster 🥱🥱🥱
Good to see Tom clarkson from Waterloo road and marlon dingle from emmerdale in coronation street
Why are catholic fathers are always portrayed with bald heads with the tufts on the side.... makes me laugh.
They like to make any Christian look like a fool.
That £30,000 wont last jack and Vera long if they don’t get employment soon,and the way jack is spreading it and now he wants a new car 🚗
Embarrassing watching the Duckworth's constant penny-pinching.
Ivy passed away in the night. Her death would have been off screen. What or how would Don tell Gail and the his grandchildren Nick,Sarah and David their Grandma Ivy has died. First was the Tilsley brothers Ivy was married to then her Brian was stabbed to death and now Ivy has died Nick and Sarah are the only remaining Tilsleys living on the Street nowadays.
It wasnt davids grandma
Don was Ivy's husband the house belongs to Don not Nicky/ all these ppl disliked Ivy she was evil n nasty still causing trouble from the grave
She told Don she was leaving the house to Nicky well before she went to the retreat
Nasty ivy left nicky her house & sarah got nothing left to her, not even a crumb
Omg our Marlon 1:29:17
Why does Jamie look the spit of Steve McDonald
Why don't they put the groceries in the kitchen?
Could they have written Vera to be anymore stupid for heaven’s sake 🤷🏼♂️😳
I hate watching somebody like Kevin eat by holding his fork with his fist and pushing food onto the fork with his knife. 😖
Vickie not even married and already paying for everything.
Y
