Whoever wrote those lines for Bet in this episode when she was talking with Ken and Alec deserves an award! And the acting deserves one too. Best moments in Corrie 😊 well done.😮
Bet walking in on Ken and her subsequent talk with Alec has to be one of the stand out moments in Corrie history. Brilliantly written and a top rate performance by all... so very moving. Golden memories to treasure.
Entirely agree with you, an emotional performance by Julie Goodyear and Bill Roche. Corrie was so good, episodes that would make you laugh and cry. Today the episodes just make you want to change the channel or switch off!
Yes very powerful. The way Bet was looking at him, I mean she's done that look a hundred times but it had another dimension to it plus Ken's face...Roach made him look like a very troubled man at the end of the line. A tear didn't come to my eye although it was quite emotional. I did catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and my eyes were a bit red but that's only coz I put the heating on.
I will be forever grateful to the person who put these up .They get me through struggling with mental illness and also through a very nasty and long bout of nuro virus. Thank you ❤xxxx
Quality acting by Julie(Bet) my favourite ever character she really was multi-faceted could make you cry your eyes out and roar laughing I’m reading her autobiography amazing woman -so sad that she has denentia now 😓 I’m so glad these are available to watch -so that the world can still see how great her talents are Many thanks

@@chrissywales6575 well, short of being with and physically stopping someone themselves, I suppose the thinking is to make it as difficult as possible with as many roadblocks as possible. If someone was truly trying to die by suicided, it might be their stop off at that last chemist/shop, that triggers something in their brain and makes them realise what they're intentions are. But apart from that, if someone truly wants to, they will.
Ken Barlow 51 / William Roache 58. Reg Holdworth's facial expressions never fail to crease me up, the fella is certifiable. (in a good way) Curly accidently touching Vera's knee. 🤦♂
I find it so weird when young mums say their screeching baby isn't due a feed for another 2 hours...it goes against all my motherly instinct....just feed the poor child when she tells you she is hungry!!
Back in the day, when us poor old baby boomers were born, parents were sneered at if they "gave in" to their babies need for food/cuddles/any attention at all outside the "textbook" 4 hours. Thankfully times have changed - except in Corrie.
As anyone else noticed that for the last couple of months on every single show, an emergency vehicle siren can be heard in the distance. An example of which can be heard at 21:37 mins. Seems to me that Weatherfield has become a dangerous place to reside in.
Today, I hear several ambulance sirens a day. Ambulances on the roads and resonating over Lake Garda. Small town. Northern Italy. It started in October 2021. I know the reason. It’s chilling and never seems to stop. When I hear the sirens in Coronation Street is brings predictive programming to mind. There’s a lot of it.
Everywhere you look on screen, there is an iconic character. Was it that it was a different period for soaps/TV/life in general (4 channels, more people watching each show as limited choice, and therefore everyone 'knew' these characters?) Or was it the writing and performances of the actors? Maybe both. But it just makes me so happy to remember the days of coming from my house, to my grannys or a friend's parents house etc and every house was watching the soaps (especially Corrie). We loved those characters.
Christ almighty! Mavis deserves a Lifetime Achievement Award, for excellence in the Daft-Cow category. With "more bother than she's flaming well worth," laurels
Not just Blighty, I’m an even a Mancunian through and through.. and still live here! So hence why I still love old Corrie (and not the dross of the present day show). It’s so nice to hear you can watch these videos over in Canada! Small world eh! 😉
@@professionalgun6674 I've noticed it quite a few times now, Thelma can't seem to hold onto Mavis' voice when the character gets angry, really interesting!
Bet is a star. Reg Holdsworth is a megastar, so funny. Why does the show think that as well as the shouting, screaming and wailing adults, we now want screaming babies on our screens! Thank goodness for the mute button!
This is where things fall apart.... I am sick of the shout shout shout... I expect it from one character, but now it is normal for ALL characters... shout shout shout
Yes. That's what I was thinking. It seems, if you went by Corrie, the typical British couple is incapable of sorting out a problem, without yelling at each other.
The Websters are hard to watch on a normal day but now add in a screaming baby to every scene with Kevin shouting at women as usual and you have to skip every scene. If the Kevin character debuted in the modern world it would never have had such longevity.
The Curly-Kimberley saga must have been one of the most tedious, turn-off inducing storylines this (in other ways) marvelous drama ever had. Her whining voice was enough for me to resort to muting the sound!
Yes. And for a smart and sensitive guy, you'd think Curly would've sussed by now that Kimberly has zero interest in a physical relationship and will likely turn out as repressed as her mother. I have no idea why Curly persists with the relationship.
I wish Mavis would bloody shut up sometimes. The hysterical overreaction, childish drama and wailing is too much. I know that stuff, along with the wittering on and getting flustered is part of her character, but sometimes the writers overdid it and made her intolerable.
Oh aye. Any problem, big or small, real or imagined, they're at each other's throats. I've seen them going at it, hammer and tong, over OTHER PEOPLE'S problems.
You've never had a newborn, have you Marilyn? Babies cry because they have no other way to communicate their needs, ie they're hungry, thirsty, tired, need changing or a cuddle. As for Sally and Kevin, there are some very good reasons why totalitarian regimes use sleep deprivation as a form of torture. As a mum, I think Corrie's take on Sally and Kevin is about right for first-time parents.
Would've been poetic justice for Ken to go through with the pills,he should've known better,he rejected his ex wife for cheating and leave and she unalived herself,he deserves the same justice. ⚖⏳⚖
I'm just wondering does anyone know where I can find the episode from this era of Coronation Street where there's the scene of Liz with teenage Steve and Andy in their house with the Home And Away theme song playing on their TV? I remember being surprised to hear it on that episode the last time I saw it here on TH-cam.
I bet the set dressers had a field day deciding which titles to stack Rita’s bookshelf with. Can’t make them all out cos they’re a bit blurry in the background but the Koko one is a horror mystery novel by Peter Straub. Just read the plot summary and it’s a bit gruesome so didn’t think it’d be to Rita’s taste. Perhaps it’s Jenny’s lol.
Cannot stand the Kimberly character. She acts like a twelve year old kid. I always fast forward through scenes with her. As for Sally and Kevin, if they would stop shouting at each other the poor kid might get some sleep. LOL
I'm sure at one point Alec Gilroy says nearly the same thing about Jack, except he could hide behind a spiral staircase! I love these little insults the writers put in! :-)
Rita is my least favourite long term character. I don't know why she was and is so popular. She sneers and mocks everyone and has ideas above her station, despite the only reason she has ANYTHING is because she married money. And she is weaker than anyone she mocks, whenever the going got tough for her she would always do a runner. I just find her unlikable all round, and she was a nasty cow about poor Emily inviting her to go along to the tea dance. Mind you, Mavis was a bit snooty about Emily too, calling her an old maid. Mavis was happy enough for her company before she was married, she went on holiday with her and used to go to the pictures regularly with Emily.
Rita was a great character with a sharp sense of humour but she was never intentionally nasty. She put up with Mavis for god's sake. I think I'd rather have brain surgery than the kind of sense of humour bypass suffered by the Rita haters on here.
@@SuzyQ334 Agreed, I like Rita, I love her witty one liners. I live in Australia but I was born in Lancashire and had a weekend job in a little pub just like The Rover’s Return. Watching this has brought back lots of memories and nostalgia. Thank you so much !
I wanted to mention bet alone But so many great characters that are missed to this day Personally even tho it was slightly before my time 73-84 was my favourite coronation street era In 84 corrie lost a good few of their best Albert Stan Elsie to name a few I think it took till 91 here to start to flow again even tho storylines took over the characters I don’t watch the current corrie anymore phelan storyline was the end for me - out of all the soaps coronation street created the best characters ones we will never forget
Up to 2:26:03 For the last hour nothing really significant has happened and from what I can gather hidden under very thinly veiled storylines are couples splitting up, couples arguing over rumour and or paranoia or Rita who may get together and form a couple with...Reg!? Please someone tell me the latter goes no further. I know that relationships are the main stay in Corrie but with no secure storylines around any of the above, they stick out half a mile. I know I keep asking what happens next but it's because I haven't learned to be patient with these new extended never-getting-to-the- point-til-the-last-breath teasing, and it's getting on my wick.
Well spoiler alert as I’m not that far ahead of you with my Corrie marathon.. no the relationship with Reg is very short lived of course , I have to say I do find Ken Morley’s portrayal of Reg quite funny in parts, his pompousness strutting around the supermarket are what keep me mildly interested. It’s when it gets to more Derek & Mavis storylines that I lose interest.. did the writers really think it was funny? Beggars belief! I’m not remotely interested in the drama side of things too..Gail & Martin? Will they get married? Will Ivy approve? Who gives a flying flamingo? Lol
@@EveHenleySpread Reg is funny, like a character you'd find in an episode of George and Mildred. I was only kidding about the Rita thing all the rest I meant. That time mark I put up, if you watch an hour after and before it it's two hours of hardly any storey. Just now finished this month. I'll get a couple of hours in on Feb now.
And yet - decades on, like pompous Ken Barlow and the feckless Audrey Roberts - Kevin got his job for life. In their heyday, Kevin and Sally were great IMHO.
Wow!! Ken and Bet, drama. Derek and Mavis inebriation comedy. Now I know why I used to watch Coronation Street, way back then! Superlative acting and script. Wow!!! Curly and Klueless Kimberley...yawn...Curly deserves better! Dreary's so self-righteously ANNOYING! And Tracey-luv's only got one facial expression except very occasionally when she manages to crack a sort of smile. Still great watching. As for Steph she's even more maddening than Weary Dreary.🤨🤣😅
I bet Jack was dashing and handsome. He still is good looking, especially the eyes and eyebrows. It's his character, he lies and cheats and gambles, not assets for sure 😊
