Gail tells Pauline she wasn't sure about taking Brian back, and she's adamant she doesn't want to re-marry him. Two seconds later, she's accepting his proposal. It's official, she's a flipping head- case.
Why Brian even wanted to marry Gail again, just blows my mind. She always wanted to be the one calling the shots. She was so aggravating. Nothing made her happy.
It all got so much worse after her affair with Ian. And after she had Sarah it's like she aged about 30 years and has stayed the very same until today. Insufferable.
Gail is such a manipulative harpie! She has to control everything and makes everyone pay if they disagree.never happy and spoils everyone's fun.queen of the wet blankets!
It's funny Isn't it? Rita rolls her eyes, at Mavis' codology. Meanwhile she's supporting the Bradleys. Funnier still, Alan quizzing/mocking Mavis about the men in her life, when his and his daughters livelihoods, are supplied by Rita. As if he's somehow superior to Mavis.
Brilliant 😊. A sketch featuring some classic Brian Tilsley...It's just amazing how any one individual can be so unbelievably wooden.i can only imagine he was taunted beyond belief which just made him more driven.
Who else thinks Fanny Carby was too young to play Amy ( Vera’s mum?) unless Amy did like Sarah Lou did years later-and had Vera at 13! Just checked-Fanny Carby was born in 1925, Liz Dawn was born in 1939, so Amy is actually only 14 years older than Vera!
Oh Gail is such a misery guts! So are Harridan Jenny, Mavis, Derek, Kevin and Vera. Sally is a breath of fresh air, even if she over acts a tad at this stage of her career! Thanx for all the wonderful up loads.
Is Gaile ever happy? She cheated on Brian, he came back and forgave her and heck he wants to buy a house for the family and tie the knot again with Gaile (he must be mad).
Alec must be lenient ( or more likely he doesn’t know!) letting Gloria make two personal calls about Mike from the pub’s ( his and Bet’s personal) phone!
I can't warm to this Gloria. She's not the worst character by any means but she is a bit of a non entity and has boring storylines. I think Sue Jenkins played a more memorable character in Brookside.
Surprised no one so far as recognised the young actress Nicola Stephenson (the Cabin papergirl) who some six years later was one half of the famous Brookside same-sex kiss along with Anna Friel. Seems a bit tame now, but at the time very shocking.
@@bsaunders5271 Yes you did make a comment about Nicola, but not until her second short stint on the show some 4 months later when you commented in the June 1988 section.
So many fabulous characters have left by this point. Certain Greats remain, but I find myself skipping more and more scenes. Jenny's whiney voice and tantrums, Alec's constant, miserly ways, Mavis's permenant hysterics, and most irritatingly of all... Sally Webster, have me reaching for the gas tap.
Often hard to pinpoint an exact turning point but it's fair to argue that Hilda's departure at Christmas 1987 marked the start of Corrie going significantly downhill. I'd add the awful Don Brennan to your list of irritating new characters. A combination of wooden (like his leg would be in a few years time), and ridiculous over-acting.
What on earth is Mavis going on dates with an old aged pensioner for? Honestly, she needs to see a psychiatrist to unravel what on earth is going on in her messed up head 😂
For a fairly young woman, Gail’s hair by this point is hideously out of date. Because of that, it really ages her. Even Deirdre has the 80’s layers and perm by this point. But Gail’s still got that heavy 70s mop.
Had to check if Priscilla ( with her attitude) could by any chance be Cilla Battersby-Brown, but Cilla Battersby Brown was born in 1965- making her 23 at this point. Bit old to be a paper girl ( and yes, I know Harry’s older, but she certainly wouldn’t do it to contribute, like Harry was!)
@@bibakroll8999 Outside Broadcast. Basically, all the exterior shots are now recorded on videotape, like in the studio and there's a uniform look. They stopped using film for exteriors.
That’s not true, they used OB cameras for some location work right back to the beginning, sometimes blending with film. Then sometime in the 1970s union regulations meant film was used for *all* location scenes (even Eastenders on location in Venice wasn’t spared this), finally relaxing the requirement in February 1988.
Brian is a slow learner. If he wanted a big wedding, he should've told Gail he wanted a registry office due. Of course, he wants his bumps feeling for going back to the woman that took another man into HIS bed.

Not just you, she is probably the worst character ever on the Street. I have never felt compassion for her in any storyline, she's a whiney harridan and seems to have been since birth. No matter what anyone says, she is 1,000 times worse than Ivy ever was. Ivy used to cause arguments because they meant something to her, Gail just causes arguments for the sake of fighting. Horrible character.
Don couldn't run a welk stall with Ivy breathing down his neck... she seems gob smacked when he buys a few teddy bears for stock; does she think he can sell fresh air?
Corrie is suffering without Hilda in these episodes. However, give me these episodes before any episode in the new millennium.
So true. The current Corrie is a woke mess of sadness and horrible writing.
Thanks professional guy for your hard work and dedication for providing us all with this quality vintage soap gold of yesteryear..please keep it up👍
“I just seem to attract oddballs.” Mavis Riley 😂

Thank you, really enjoying watching these episodes. Corrie was good back in the day!

It would only take two seconds for a pain in the arse like that to realise no one else would be daft enough to marry her.

I have never liked her ...too passive aggressive for me , mind you they all are that's the fun of it 😅
Aggravating. Excellent word to describe Gale/Gail.
It all got so much worse after her affair with Ian. And after she had Sarah it's like she aged about 30 years and has stayed the very same until today. Insufferable.
Life with Ivy has programed him to expect that kind of thing - like it even

I do, I thought she must have been like 10 when Vera was born, LOL. she's a nasty old bird anyway, LOL
I loved Amy
She was a great actress but in Corrie her attempts at a northern accent were crap. She keeps lapsing back into her native cockney vowels.
And Audrey is only 7 years older than Gail.
cannot stand that character, no replacement for hilda
Those paper kids need a thick ear.
Why is Gail so angry ALL the time?
Because she doesn't have a chin.

@@marieince1479 Ain't that the truth!

Only someone as thick as R. Brian could miss the glaring signals Gail is giving off, that she couldn't care less about him.

@@bonapolone every time Ivy says "Brian", she prefaces it with "our". She says "our Brian" so often that in my head it sounds like "R. Brian"
Funny that, cos I couldn't care less about the pair of them 😉

Ivy gives off so many ‘red flags’ how Don didn’t pick up on them I don’t know.
Gail wants to feel loved, without reciprocating ... "Oh, Brian, hold me ..." she wheedles ... yeah, under the bath water...
I remember when our ginger tabby Baby was 1 and her mum got her a cake saying 1 on it!

Mavis, please shut up and let the man pay for dinner!🤣
Is that your kitty in the pic then?
I wish she would shut up in general.

A very odd storyline
Mr Anton Meyer from Holby City taking over The Recorder.

Alec must be lenient ( or more likely he doesn’t know!) letting Gloria make two personal calls about Mike from the pub’s ( his and Bet’s personal) phone!
Mike was a valued punter. Always ordered the good scotch instead of cheap ale! Maybe that's why Alec was lenient.
I can't warm to this Gloria. She's not the worst character by any means but she is a bit of a non entity and has boring storylines. I think Sue Jenkins played a more memorable character in Brookside.
I knew Ken's deal wouldn't go through, he was way too cocky and happy about it for it to succeed 😂😂
Was Sue Nichols ill at this time? Audrey wasn’t seen in the shop in the bit with Amy and Vera-then she suddenly goes to Canada.
Ohhhh Glo sort your barnet 😮
Pauline knows what she's talking about, Gail is ending everything......again.
I wonder if Harry went in the Rovers and had an alf (If you watch Love Thy Neighbour) you'll understand.

A month of very weak stories. And Mavis is such a pain… if she’d existed in real life she’d have been taken to a vet and put to sleep a long time ago.
yeah but Ken said the word bloody
I find her murderous to watch when she is doing her pathetic dithering bit.
