I’ve watched Hilda’s exit quite a few times now and it always brings a tear to my eye. Jean Alexander was an amazing actress. Coronation street was never the same after she left.
Yes I agree she was a brilliant actress and made me laugh 😂 with her singing…she would enjoy to gossip and she loved her Stan but she did work hard as a cleaner always on the go…in all honesty she played a good character (R.I.P. Hilda)
Hilda left due to a broken heart, she felt the world she knew, her Street, was becoming her prison. Instead of marrying Tom, she left to take care of Dr Lowther's broken heart and to escape hers. A bittersweet exit. And she never wore her turban and rollers after the attack....the old Hilda had gone.😢 We'll always love you ❤
Another actor who died (R.I.P. Eddie) and also (R.I.P. Hilda) so many actors and actresses have gone Mike Baldwin Alf roberts Alec gilroy Percy sugden Jack duckworth Alan Bradley Deirdre Barlow Vera duckworth Betty Turpin (R.I.P. to them all) so sad 😭 but all the actors and actresses played great characters
That is what I miss about Coronation street back in the day; something to laugh and cry about. They had comedy that we still can not find today and touching scenes that made us cry.
There have been some legendary characters come and go: Ena Sharples, Albert Tatlock, Elsie Tanner, Mrs Walker, Stan Ogden, but I think Hilda is perhaps the greatest.
@@flumpaustin1994 ahhhh of course, cheers. I wasn't sure if the op meant hospitals had their own supply of a certain kind of bed. But come to think of it, I suppose they do.
Jean Alexander was The Street, it was never the same after she left. It then gave way to the young actors and the world changing.... and ridiculous storylines.
Thank you so much for uploading these episodes. Corrie at its absolute finest with Rita and Mavis and Bet and Alec. I can't bare Vera's mum though. Always sounds like she's gargling her teeth. Her voice goes right through me.
I can understand why Hilda went to live at Dr Lowther’s. Perhaps Jean Alexander had not yet decided to leave Coronation Street when Tom proposed. I don’t know. After the attack, she admitted to needing to feel useful which was how she had been all her life. In marriage and work. Hilda needed to be needed. After the attack she was lost. A connection had been established with Dr Lowther after the fateful night of the burglary. A positive came from a negative. She would have her reason to get up everyday without being romantically involved, a roof over her head and some income. Proceeds from the house would have provided a nice little nest egg. Hilda was a one man woman which is is so refreshing to see in these modern times where morals leave a lot to be desired. It’s not easy to tune into Jenny’s silly problems in 1988 after saying goodbye.
I said practically said the same thing on another thread. I just wish it was an exit based on happiness rather than loneliness and fear after the attack.
It was nice to see Eddie again back on the street, I think he played a great role and he always had a good giggle with Hilda, He helped her smile and laugh 😆 again when she was feeling down, it was so sad 😭 seeing her leave the street she was a gem 💎 to the street and everyone loved our Hilda ❤❤❤ RIP jean Alexandra ❤❤❤
Reading through the comments, no one has seemed to pick up on the genius of the writers one last trouble making line from Hilda (albeit innocent this time) to Alec about Bet and Mike just before her farewell 😂 And the writers making out Bet was a slag when she's had about 3 or 4 boyfriends to my memory in the previous 10 years from this channels episodes.
hard seeing our hilda like this 😪 then ontop of it that pos trevor thinks it be best she stay home for xmas..he didn't even go and see her after she was almost killed...even though it's just a show theres alot and far too damn many people out there that are just like that trevor
I love watching all these old episodes of Coronation Street. Second time around for me but bring back happy memories. Quick question , does anyone know where I can found missing episodes from 1987.
Pattie x You an American watching this? This was aired in America then or you in UK watching it? Ive always been curious what Americans would think of Coronation st. 😉
@@Joes45 TH-cam! :) I am in America....been sick this last year....British actors that I like, like Joanne Frogget etc....I do the Imbd on them and have found many of them had been on Corrie....so I got curious and started watching from the beginning in 1960....(thanx to ProfessionalGun66) I am up to 1989.....
I've binged the lot from the first episode to Hilda singing farewell at the rovers. It's been a delight but it ends here for me. I don't want to spoil things for myself. Thankyou ProfessionalGun 66
So sad to see Hilda go, after just 23 years in the street; but at 2:16:04 - when she spills the beans on Bet living with Mike in earlier years, she tells Alec, "She lived with him at no. 3, you know, for quite some time." If they had, they'd have both been lodging with Emily Bishop. It was no. 5 Mike owned, before selling it to Ray and Deirdre Langton in 1977.
I’m sure Emily lives at no3 , but Mike lived with Bet at no.5 which was then sold to Ray Langton and then the tilsleys after that. It’s the house where Ivy currently lives not Emily x
@@carasmith549 sorry I didn’t word my reply very well, yes I was agreeing with you she says no.3 but it was no.5 , brilliant episodes though I’ve enjoyed watching them x
I love these old Corries. They were built on strong characters not nasty storylines. I haven’t watched the new ones for many years. Have tried but have had to switch off after only a couple of minutes, they are unbearable now.
Tears of sadness for Hilda leaving , but what a final line saying Bet and Mike lived together at No 3 😂, Hilda lives on. 😂. Tears of laughter at Mavis drunk in Rita’s😂.
Rita biting her lip so as not to laugh when Mavis says her father always said two-toned shoes were adulterous shoes. Wonder if her parents were like Lord and Lady Whiteadder in Blackadder?
Jean Alexander was the finest character actress of her era. In her own profession, she was appreciated by Lord Lawrence Olivier, among so many others. I only hope that she remained unhonoured by her own choice; she should have been Dame Jean!
Hilda had to have the last say to Alec lol 😂 I just loved her character she was a brilliant actress R.I.P. jean Alexandra, but i don’t know 🤷♀️ why Alec is on one with bet, the past is the past get over it Alec, I love ❤️ the old ones of coronation street, and I have many fond memories,
Mavis is most annoying character ever in the street . crying like a baby every minute . dithering at every twist and turn . Rita must have patience of a saint to put up with her every minute of the day in the cabin she would drive a man to drink indefinitely.
That 'End of Part One' card is so depressing. A lonely back alley with a dog. I think it was used in the early to Mid 70's then dropped. Why they decided to re-use it in 87/88 again always puzzled me.
@@notonyournelly5475 Oh shut up, last I heard he was still in bed wearing his gravy stained vest, wife by his side, waiting for his sister Hyacinth to come and turn the telly over 🤣
I think Eddies character played by Geoffrey Hughes died very recently, just at the end of last year 2022. I dont know what he died from but remember seeing it on a media news post with Eddies smiling face & a farewell tribute Eddie was brilliant esp with Hilda & Stan! They made Corrie for me Why they EVER wrote Eddie out i will never know! Maybe it was when he took part in the tv hit show The Royal Family With Ricky Tomlinson & Caroline Aherne But he wasnt in every episode & he should have taken many more appearances in Corrie.. shame 🇬🇧👧
Does anyone who was around at the time remember why Eddie disappeared again with no follow up? I know Geoffrey Hughes got cancer at some point. Just wondering if the actor was meant to stay right till Hilda's last scene or if it was always meant to just be a few episodes appearance. Google is no help.
"He says: here yar maw, bound to something here nobody else will want 😭" heeee heeee I love Veras mum...the rotton ol bag 🤭 lol I feel delighted when certain corrie street characters are stressed tf out treated like junk 😅
Folk on here give Percy a booting but he was always kind and helpful to Hilda. Think he had a bit of a fancy for her actually. His "attitude" would be more than welcome in the houses of parliament today. Think about that.
I’ve watched Hilda’s exit quite a few times now and it always brings a tear to my eye. Jean Alexander was an amazing actress. Coronation street was never the same after she left.
i agree it was the beginning of the end for me.
i agree i stopped watching it around 1990.
Yes I agree she was a brilliant actress and made me laugh 😂 with her singing…she would enjoy to gossip and she loved her Stan but she did work hard as a cleaner always on the go…in all honesty she played a good character (R.I.P. Hilda)
She was the best
I’VE WATCHED HILDA’S EXIT QUITE A FEW TIMES NOW AND IT ALWAYS BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYE 👁️. JEAN ALEXANDER WAS AN AMAZING 🥲 GLORY SENGO.
Such a lovely send off for the Queen of British Soaps... ta ra chuck!
Jean was the only true actor on the show. ❤
Hilda left due to a broken heart, she felt the world she knew, her Street, was becoming her prison. Instead of marrying Tom, she left to take care of Dr Lowther's broken heart and to escape hers. A bittersweet exit. And she never wore her turban and rollers after the attack....the old Hilda had gone.😢
We'll always love you ❤
❤🍻🇦🇺
I know this was ages ago but I had tears in my eyes when Hilda left, she is definitely one of my favorites! Jean Alexander was a great actress!
Thank you saddest episode 😢 Hilda marks the end of great acting 😢
@Professional Gun 66 Thank you for your hard work uploading all these years of Coronation Street. You have made me and many people happy 😀
I agree professional gun …..thanks ive enjoyed your uploads soooo much
Thank you professional gun 66 .
Yes ty appreciate them so much
Those sweet singing tones of Hilda were great to hear again
Broke my heart when hilda went to stans grave and said hey Stan I reckon your in the right place
Goodbye Hilda Chuck. The street was never ever the same without you.
Oh Eddie, how I miss you! And nothing will be the same without Hilda.😪
Another actor who died (R.I.P. Eddie) and also (R.I.P. Hilda) so many actors and actresses have gone Mike Baldwin
Alf roberts
Alec gilroy
Percy sugden
Jack duckworth
Alan Bradley
Deirdre Barlow
Vera duckworth
Betty Turpin
(R.I.P. to them all) so sad 😭 but all the actors and actresses played great characters
Eddie and Hilda, my two favourites on the street. Best acting, best characters💜💜Rip Jean Alexander and Geoffrey Hughes.
Farewell to a legend. R.I.P Jean Alexander.
Yes she played a great character
I really don't understand why Corrie didn't do more of a tribute to her when she died. It wasn't even mentioned, like Dierdre's death.
Hilda, what an icon ❤️
Made me cry... Hilda is fantastic
That is what I miss about Coronation street back in the day; something to laugh and cry about. They had comedy that we still can not find today and touching scenes that made us cry.
Mavis and Derek were so so funny. Thelma Barlow is a ridiculously underrated acting genius.
Derek, what a pratt!!!
Comedy gold
I agree 100%
There have been some legendary characters come and go: Ena Sharples, Albert Tatlock, Elsie Tanner, Mrs Walker, Stan Ogden, but I think Hilda is perhaps the greatest.
I agree ❤
Wonderful episode Thankyou for uploading gosh how times change an NHS with actual hospital beds, a time where life was so much easier.
Genuine question. What do you mean "actual hospital beds"?
???
@@MarcoNegrisEyeAvailable beds, ready to accept patients.
@@flumpaustin1994 ahhhh of course, cheers. I wasn't sure if the op meant hospitals had their own supply of a certain kind of bed. But come to think of it, I suppose they do.
Jean Alexander was the best Actress out of all of these.
Always thought percy fancied hilda a bit
Jean Alexander was The Street, it was never the same after she left. It then gave way to the young actors and the world changing.... and ridiculous storylines.

Would of been good if she'd married Tom and they built a life on the street

Love the Rita/Mavis banter-Rita deliberately missing the point of what Mavis is saying.
Good bye wonderful Jean Alexander. Cannot for a minute think of Corrie without you.💐
Reading through the comments, no one has seemed to pick up on the genius of the writers one last trouble making line from Hilda (albeit innocent this time) to Alec about Bet and Mike just before her farewell 😂 And the writers making out Bet was a slag when she's had about 3 or 4 boyfriends to my memory in the previous 10 years from this channels episodes.

The writers overdid it with Mavis as the 'scarlet woman' storyline, and Thelma Barlow, who's usually excellent, overacted in virtually every scene.
Not sure how much more of Mavis I can take.
What a great ending for Hilda
yes, to end her days in servility. determinism rather than idealism.
@@eatmywords you should search yt for her real last appearance in 1990. Anything but servile.
Hilda was true Northern gritt,
I love watching all these old episodes of Coronation Street. Second time around for me but bring back happy memories. Quick question , does anyone know where I can found missing episodes from 1987.
Rita is a legend old Corrie is so much better than the rubbish now
Seeya later Hilda, chook! Xx
Hilda Ogden!...."Jean Alexander "...a queen of an actress...just outstanding!!!! Cheers chook!!!❤🎉
End of an era 😢
and so this American sheds a tear as she says goodbye to a legend.

Thanks Pg-your wonderful. Love these.
I'm at the beginning of the video. I need to know, does Hilda take that lovely cat with her, when she leaves? :)
Yep. Just before she goes to London to visit the Queen.
Yes she does, to Derbyshire and Dr Lowther.
So sad to see Hilda go, after just 23 years in the street; but at 2:16:04 - when she spills the beans on Bet living with Mike in earlier years, she tells Alec, "She lived with him at no. 3, you know, for quite some time."

Hilda was the Queen of the street a brilliant actress in every thing she ever did 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant episodes
Ty professional gun luv it and a big ty from nz
Bet's jumper has more diamonds then the queens coronation robes.....
I love these old Corries. They were built on strong characters not nasty storylines. I haven’t watched the new ones for many years. Have tried but have had to switch off after only a couple of minutes, they are unbearable now.
Oh my god, Mavis is driving me totally mad
Ugg Mavis really is awful so dopey about Derek
Tears of sadness for Hilda leaving , but what a final line saying Bet and Mike lived together at No 3 😂, Hilda lives on. 😂.
Tears of laughter at Mavis drunk in Rita’s😂.
Very moving.. Not the same after Hilda left.
That Don spoils it for me. He's like a marshmallow.
Mavis the innocent wuss. Derek the devious wuss. Talk about stretchin the ass out of a storyline!
Am I the only one who found the whole Derek and Mavis saga soooo tiresome?
Nope, they are a right pain in the arse and so boring!
Nope. It was annoying!
Very boring and Derek is so annoying. Also, the Jenny storyline - I always fast forward her!
@@4oclocktimefortea794 so do I
Could kill me
My favourites Mike and hilda Stan Eddie Mike was always kind to hilda
As was Percy. But nobody ever gives him any credit on here 😂
rita and jenny could nearly pass for mother and daughter . thanks for uploading
Rita biting her lip so as not to laugh when Mavis says her father always said two-toned shoes were adulterous shoes. Wonder if her parents were like Lord and Lady Whiteadder in Blackadder?
Thank you
Alex takes Hilda a bottle of beer only to return to The Rovers with bottle still in hand. He's so tight 😂
Jean Alexander was the finest character actress of her era. In her own profession, she was appreciated by Lord Lawrence Olivier, among so many others. I only hope that she remained unhonoured by her own choice; she should have been Dame Jean!
Aw found that little moment with Hilda and Ivy moving 🥲
Derek is such a wet lettuce
Looks like Mike dyed his hair special for Christmas. Mavis and Derek were so dull.
Sad watching bet when shes slowly fading away poor thing dementia is a terrible thing to have all my love to her husband
th-cam.com/video/BlE5kapeqWg/w-d-xo.html
One of Hilda's best episodes, where she played football.Oct 1st 1969.
I never saw Hilda as the moral compass of coronation street….hindsight is 20/20
All this screaming with Jack, wife and now MIL. It’s awful!
Hildas ducks 🤭❤😊
Hilda had to have the last say to Alec lol 😂 I just loved her character she was a brilliant actress R.I.P. jean Alexandra, but i don’t know 🤷♀️ why Alec is on one with bet, the past is the past get over it Alec, I love ❤️ the old ones of coronation street, and I have many fond memories,
I can't bear Jenny!
So does Alan work anywhere? How is he earning $, or is he just living off Rita right now?
Matt Burke Yea living off Rita, like Don did with Ivy
Love Bets Cleaning Lady Look 🏚️🍺🍻🥃☕🍾
Vera's mother..volume down definitely.
The Cabin, is so budget looking
Don Boring Brenon🥱🚖
So many years to come… 😂
Mavis and Derek...recycling an already rehashed storyline
I'm about the same age as Sally she was a hottie back then my 1987 self would thinks. lol
Derek and Mavis jack and vera and Alec gilroy comedy gold
Why is Vera older than her mother? Horrible casting
Vera's mother could be related to Fred Elliot,i say Fred Elliot😅😅
Can't stand her teeth
Eddie couldn't give Hilda a kiss goodbye 23:34
Mavis is most annoying character ever in the street . crying like a baby every minute . dithering at every twist and turn . Rita must have patience of a saint to put up with her every minute of the day in the cabin she would drive a man to drink indefinitely.
I like Mavis. The chemistry between her and Rita is great. Mavis and Derek are certainly suited to each other.
That 'End of Part One' card is so depressing. A lonely back alley with a dog. I think it was used in the early to Mid 70's then dropped. Why they decided to re-use it in 87/88 again always puzzled me.
Manch, I miss Eddie Yates. I wonder what he’s doing today?
He's dead.
@@notonyournelly5475 Oh shut up, last I heard he was still in bed wearing his gravy stained vest, wife by his side, waiting for his sister Hyacinth to come and turn the telly over 🤣

I dont know what he died from but remember seeing it on a media news post with Eddies smiling face & a farewell tribute
Eddie was brilliant esp with Hilda & Stan! They made Corrie for me

Maybe it was when he took part in the tv hit show
The Royal Family
With Ricky Tomlinson & Caroline Aherne
But he wasnt in every episode & he should have taken many more appearances in Corrie.. shame

It's Onslow And Jackie Corkhill At The Rovers🍻🍺🥃
What happened to mike and susan?
They divorced. Susan doesn't appear.again until 2001.
I missed the episode where the cabin got a coat of red paint🤔 Must have been while I was fast forwarding past the Mavis and Derek farce
Noticed that Curly & Martin were well into Hilda’s (suddenly wall-less) parlour at 2:23:25
Be kind , rewind.
They’re beautiful Percy, just wish that middle one would buck itself up a bit 😂
Funny Rita and Mavis chandler and Joey 😅😅😅😅😅 5:25 SU garden
I'm finding Sally really grating this month, more than normal 😬
Derek 🤣 @17:54
2:33:56 Rick Astley record playing in the background at Sally's party 😉
"He says: here yar maw, bound to something here nobody else will want 😭" heeee heeee I love Veras mum...the rotton ol bag 🤭 lol I feel delighted when certain corrie street characters are stressed tf out treated like junk 😅
Controversial….but I wonder if the rest of the cast got on with ‘Jenny’ 🤔 ….she strikes me as being irritating and annoying ….and very cocksure 😳
Oh Eddie sally 6:14 never see him before mrs buton oh Vera Burton oh wonderful Jack put her in the jungle 😅😅😅😅😅😅 SU garden
Jenny 🤮
