    The jokes are thick and fast. The characters complimentary and fascinating. It's hilarious and thriling. The actors and writers were phenomenal during this period. It's brilliant.

      1984 was probably one of the worst years in the shows history. 1985 was more on an even keel. I guess nothing lasts forever and ill health meant some actors had to leave, and they died soon after sadly. We still had greats like Bet, Hilda, Betty, Rita, Mavis, Derek, Alf etc.

Together the two incidents affected her health and she later went to a nursing home. Really sad as Doris Speed was fantastic and entertained us all as wonderful Annie Walker.

    And how’s the decorator meant to know the exact colour of the inside of a seashell you once found on a beach in Aberystwyth, Mavis? 😂😂

      I’m sure Mavis would give a two hour long seminar on the subject if she were given the opportunity… Gee’s!… Mave could drone in about total cobblers for eternity… She was a droid…

    «Desperate Dick the decorater», «Eat your heart out James Hunt», I’m really loving Rita at the moment! Being free from Len has been such a good thing for her character.

    Its funny but the characters i liked way back when these were origionally produced, i find when viewing them now, i see them in a totally different light !
    And, vise versa, the characters i disliked then, i like now!
    Apart from fred gee who i couldn't stand then & more so now!
    Like Ivy, i find her a feisty lady
    Who puts on a veneer but shes really vunerable & a little afraid
    Underneath her armour
    But in 1984 i couldnt stand Ivy
    Used to think Mavis was an eccentric oddball & worried too much but now i see her as a manipulator, a spoiled stupid woman full of bitterness & spite
    Wittering for attention
    ALWAYS LOVED ELSIE
    Who could fault that woman!
    In her last scenes in Dec 83 i thought she looked fabulous &
    Yet she was riddled with cancer
    With not long to live
    Yet to the end she was a sensation!
    Never liked Eddie but this time i see him as a real treasure & adorable
    Ken was a boring twerp in 84 & is boring in 2023.
    Stan & Hilda are superstars!
    The glue that held Corrie together along with our Elsie
    Didnt like Jack & Vera but see how brilliant they appear to me now, a perfect comic pair
    Emily then was an Earth Angel
    Now? Ooh a snake in the grass
    Mike was always a favourite
    Both times.
    Why does Ida Clough wear such
    Very PECULIAR hairstyles?
    Honestly some styles look as if shes auditioning for
    The Brides of Dracula! Lol
    Love Reet now, her acerbic wit &
    Dark humour slay me!
    She & Else were 2 beautiful older women, i adore how she teases
    Old Mave, yet i did not appreciate her back then.
    Maybe its because im old now & can really understand certain
    Characters that have hidden dimentions & its a pleasant surprise!
    Sad to see Eddie & Marian go, i wish they had stayed!
    WOW their nipper would be
    over 40yrs old now!
    Cried with Reet when she heard about Len, lovely Len, her acting was amazing
    Cried with Ivy for Bert
    Quick mention to say
    Liked Alf then... not now
    Disliked Audrey then, not now!
    Loved Deirdre then & now
    Disliked Bry-yunnn then & now
    Gail was cute & silly & had lush hair in the early shows but turned into quite a warrior maiden & is very determined to build her future around her family & her budding relationship with Ivy is so interesting to watch
    The backroom girls..Bett &Betty
    Are my favourites
    Bett Lynch is an extraordinary & complex character made that way by the fabulous Julie Goodyear!
    I think she was very underated & deserved much more recognition
    Than she got!
    There are times when shes a study in rather beautiful features in perfect alignment!
    Anyway ive rambled on too long but having watched naught but these episodes almost non stop for the last 3 weeks, in a condensed way, the characters have leaped from 2D to 3D & their interactions with each other,
    Each family home playing its own
    Vignette, taking turns in the storyline month by month
    Presents a tremendous study in
    Human behaviour from the
    1960s 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s
    ( although i stopped watching it very early 2000)
    I predict ( if its not already been done ) that Corrie will be studied in high schools, colleges & universities as encapsulating the
    Human behaviour of the British public in their communities
    Through the decades & its such a rich area to cover, discover &
    Study for young people of our future.
    Brilliant watching for Psychology & sociology students
    Many thanks to Professional Gun 66, for your saving & gathering all these episodes as they will prove to be invaluable for future Brits to learn from & marvel at!
    Ive saved all the episodes on a special file & im thrilled with them
    🇬🇧👧

      Just wanted to say I appreciate your thoughts on Corrie then and now. Personally, I like Ken; he's probably the character I identify with most. My favorite character, though, is the long-departed Jack Walker. He deferred to Annie but could assert himself when needed. I'm still discovering the 1984 characters (I've skipped around in my viewing), but I love the humor and humanity.

  • @isabellajanelee

    Miss all those old characters. They were the foundation of Corrie that has become so woke now . This was a truly fab soap in its day. I can’t stand it now. 😢

  • @williamf4544
    @williamf4544 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I recon that Arthur character and the one before him was written in to see if there was enough chemistry between either of them and Ivy to start a relationship and as there wasnt it was a case of third time lucky with Don - Could be the actressherself had a quiet input into the goings on

      @cise748 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      He did, there’s been lots of actors that got their start in Corrie
      Tosh was working at the dump then fast forward a few years and he was the manager of graffiti club. The big boss originally in the bill was an abusive step father in one ep. I’m trying to think of them all but bad memory
