i remember the days when folk who rembered days gone by on comment sections could easily find themselves in a self huggable kimono! wrapped up in a lovely pink squidgely Boobie Hatch and medicated deeply,, every 4 hrs dear!
My Goodness looking back now on the Rita story line, I was only a kid when it was aired, didnt understand the depths of it but now I do and how well it was researched and played out, really feel for Rita in that situation, the acting was so close to the bone of reality, how the man always seems to switch the blame to the woman making her feel shes the one that caused it all. This can affect any woman in any situation, upper/lower/middle classes are not immune from this and the feelings the woman must hide- The anger/resentment and guilt because none of his friends ever saw him like that so therefore you must be to blame, when you do finally get out the amount of time it takes to get your inner confidence back is mind blowing. The writing/acting of this was spot on.
@@muk8804 OMG Your comment has really scared me. You honestly think that domestic violence only happens in working class peoples lives ffs! DV happens in EVERY SINGLE CLASS SYSTEM are you so blind.....or are you too young to know this or appreciate this fact? OR, have you totally not understood my comment? You have really shocked me, its scary to think that people only think DV is a working class problem! 😮😮 seriously??
Sally Webster's guffawing sister, the rough and raucous Gina, must be the most unbearable character of 1988. Ten seconds of her on screen, and I'm pressing the 'mute' button. On the plus side, October '88 starts the six-month saga of the slow betrayal of Rita by cheating Alan Bradley. One of the best six months in the whole history of Corrie, and for me, he was a much more enjoyable villain than Richard Hillman, who came along about fourteen years later. Richard was far more sinister - a real psycho and killer, whereas Alan was more of an old-fashioned con man.
I won't watch any episodes of Corrie after 1999. It became ridiculous. The whole Richard Hillman storyline was over blown. And to be honest he should have killed Gail but sadly he failed lol.
Not really that rosy in those days! Four to eight dollars per hour, and financing a car for 6-8000 dollars for 16- 18 per cent interest, just to put things in perspective!
@@chrissywales6575you're right there. My mum bought a microwave in the early 80s and I got yelled at and a full box of Cornflakes thrown at my head when she thought I had broken it when I turned the dial the wrong way 😬
Jack couldn't have had much sense, all he needed was a basic savings account which in those days were easy to open, and could have deposited the cheque that way
My mum lived and died and had never been in a bank in her life , never been in an aeroplane , dont think she had ever been in a taxi either as far as i know - A generation that were brought up to know their place and have very limited asperations
That pie can, Mavis, won't participate in "tittle-tattle," with Mike Baldwin, when she's just after blurting out Rita's personal business, in the bloody pub!
Alan has endless ambitions standing on Rita's inheritance from Len,and Audrey on an endless shopping spree because of Alfs inheritance from Renee! 😂😂😂 ps.Never should a woman with a little brass mess with a broke dude,it always ends in tears for the lady.😢😢😢
Deirdre going to visit Mike was brainless..."I did it for you" she tells Ken, how could she not have known Ken would flip his chips the second he found out....she makes some really dumb decisions, that woman.
Wat i mean is.....could'nt you be less automotant and say somat else, we get the picture.....we see.... but perhaps no more gratitudes it makes me need to wee wee and i have a hard enough time holdin' it in readin half of these lollll
When did it become acceptable to say crap on Corrie! When Gail & Brian were arguing before he went out to a nightclub and met his demise, he told Gail don’t give me all that feminist crap!
I can't believe how insensitive Mavis and Derek are. It's obvious that Rita is going through an emotionally difficult time, and those two are oblivious to it. Obviously, they're focused on their wedding, but they aren't dumb and blind. Let's hope their honeymoon is a long one.
What happened in the next four months for things to change so dramatically for Brian and Gail. They seem to be getting on great here. Then a few months later they’re splitting up? Bit strange.
I’ve heard it used in the late 70s and early 80s. British television permitted more light profanity on a regular basis in the 70s. You would never hear bloody bastard but bastard and bloody were occasionally uttered.
If people om the street just stopped "Helping" and being "interested" in the others, I guess there wouldn't be a soap series! These people need other things to do - like on "Midsomer Murders". Joyce Barnaby joins every group and committee known to man.
Am sorry what ever Rita get from Alan and jenny she bought wholesale, she put on blinders for the pair and everybody can see he's violent and Jenny a disrespectful banshee but Rita.😂😂
Apologies if I've inadvertently given the game away but did Sally's sister end up being a junkie? This is the first I'm seeing this era so I genuinely don't know but I just that vibe from her.
Seems as we've progressed through 1988 the comments sections has attracted quite the number of crackpots and general pains in the arse. Some people really shouldn't be allowed fingers and thumbs 😂
they're building to the usual xmas creshendo, you know, that famous time of peace on earth and goodwill to all men. the writers of this series must have been embittered sadists.

Ive often thought that Brian Tinsley spoke somtimes with a Geordie twank, i dont no where he come from but i always thought he was more from Manchester rather than Newcastle, But he def wasnt a Geordie cause he wld have spoke it all the time, but def had the odd word that jumped out as thou a Geordie, does anybody else think that? Or no where he does come from ?
Chris Quentin was born & bred in Middlesbrough near Newcastle His accent is a wearside accent like the Sunderland twang Chris was often seen out & about in Newcastle ( the night life) also opening clubs & bars during his time on Corrie I live just outside Newcastle & did see him a few times in his Celeb status & he was such a poseur! Hes quite small & really loved himself & very few females found him attractive, i think he had plans to make his name in America ( no one was impressed with him up here) He left Corrie went to the States & married this very well known female tv presenter, which i gathered didnt last & he didnt make his name!! Dont know what happened to him after that, i wasnt that interested! Cheers 🇬🇧👧
Among your responses to your remarks on Brian , a woman mentioned she has seen him in person , she said he was quite small in stature , I noticed in a different episode , that he wears elevator platform shoes, with a 3 inch heal .. I see why now . I never liked his caricature, very know it all ,very bossy like a lot of men that are short . He fancied himself as somewhat of a hunk , I didn’t find him one bit attractive .
Many years ago when I was 20 I had gone to the job centre and got an interview at a place for later that day and I was in casual clothes and the job centre worker said to me that was fine as what I had on was neat and clean and off I went and got the job there! I had started working there and the manager had said to me as I was wearing Spice girl type boots where's your sensible shoes? The job was in Llandaff in west Cardiff on the Ely Road and at the time I lived in East Central Cardiff and going from east to west Cardiff is a nightmare! Years later I worked at an office at Eastern Business park in Cardiff and there was a colleague there who lived in Fairwater in the West of the city and she had found it an absolute nightmare getting from west to the far east of the city! She was fine when the office was in east central but when it moved to the far east of the city travelling for her was a nightmare!

I love that Bet has a picture of Annie Walker in the sitting room.💙💜🦦
Ken is like a spoilt child ... Full of double standards ...he really annoys me 😡
I like ken he adopted & brought up derdries brat not a lot men would do that
He would go over my knee - that would smack the spoiltness out of him
Hey give Ken a break, hes 91 now and still got a full head of sensible hair. 🤣
Ken is utterly insufferable. Deirdre should have chucked him years before
She'd have had some laughs if she'd had stuck with Mike Baldwin
@@Assistant36 I won't be popular but am I the only one who likes Ken? I don't really know why!! Funny that!

I can relate to that because I endured the same behaviour, everything you have said here is insightful and reflects my experiences to the last letter.
Can't wait to see it. I started watching Corrie a few years later.

Kevin shouts every line 😅 over mundane stuff!
He always does this..very loud and annoying.
He does and it's incredibly annoying!
The start of the Rita and Alan saga compelling after some snore fests at the start of this upload re- Deirdre and Ken!
The Ken story line was so boring, you remember the tabloids back in the day calling him boring ken, Im sure he sued them in real life 🤣
You'd think when they gave Deidre the line "it's still the same old boring nonsense" they would have at least given themselves a hint?
That wonderful exchange at 1:46:00, a masterpiece of comic timing between 5 actors! ❤
Feel so sorry for Martin being fired then not fired then fired then hired again poor lad still puts up with that bully Allan

Washing machine, a bed and microwave for less than £600, those were the days
Not really that rosy in those days! Four to eight dollars per hour, and financing a car for 6-8000 dollars for 16- 18 per cent interest, just to put things in perspective!
It just goes to show how rampant inflation has been
Most of the money probably went on the microwave. They were a new concept back then and cost a fortune.
It was not 600, it was 550.

Knowing what Ken suspects Deirdre of doing at Mike’s flat, their argument would be a perfectopportunity for her to go “A DIDN’T-DO-ANY OF IT!”

don't you dare slag off Dierdre. she's a warm, kind soul, it's not her fault if people like you are warped with cynicism.
She certainly does! Her dumbest one was choosing Ken over Mike, in fact choosing Ken over anyone is dumb.

They're both planks. Wardrobe made sure to make them look like planks as well.

Rita stick to her guns? Doesn't Alan come back when he wants more money?
This is so out of character for Rita, she would have booted him out.
With hindsight, I bet she wished she had.
just a pity we have to wait a year to see the swine sliced by a Blackpool tram
Len the nonce belted her too and she still stayed with him.
Sometimes its hard to be a woman
Percy sugden is an old busybody!

First use of the word bastard on the street.
I’ve heard it used in the late 70s and early 80s. British television permitted more light profanity on a regular basis in the 70s. You would never hear bloody bastard but bastard and bloody were occasionally uttered.
Gail used it last month during her rant to Alf. Also uttered bitch in the same sentence.
If Percy Sugden existed in reality, hed've ended up under somebody's paving years ago.
