Provably in the next few weeks - I’m sure the Platts come in September 1999 and now it’s August 1999.

Blanche is finally a regular after two brief appearances (1996,1997) and a lengthier return over Xmas 1998.

She certainly made her mark in Corrie fairly early on during this return.

Poor Emily was one of her early victims.

Terry has slithered back, he really is horrid! I felt like shaking Vera, she's so blind when it comes to him

He’s a good soap baddie though. Not as good as Greg Kelly but who is?

Richard Hillman!

Richard Hillman!

Now you’re talking! Corrie have had some good baddies. It was Terry Duckworth and Nick “hello Maaaar” Cotton from Eastenders who stick in my mind but Richard Holman was a great character

I thought Alan Brady was a great everyday villain. Genuinely scary when he tried to attack his shop assistant!

Yes! Him and Rita were a bit before my time so I didn’t see his nastiness but that iconic scene with the tram is Classic Corrie. Hard to believe he was married to Audrey in real life (he sadly passed away on New Year’s Day)

Charlie Stubbs was a good baddie and Tracy Barlow kinda was/is too but I didn’t like her conning Roy Cropper into thinking they’d slept together

I miss Tracy being the street witch

She had a real sneer about her, she was proper trouble

Seems now she’s settled with family & own business she’s mellowed

Looking forward to the Richard Hillman story. ‘You should have stayed at the party Maxine’!

I would happily bludgeon her with the way she’s acting over the wedding! Who picks they’re husband to he’s best man?!

Yes!! She's being a right witch over the wedding, did love Ashley telling her off!!

 

[Libbylulu]

I think Ashley must like domineering women, even Claire nagged at him relentlessly

Vera and Terry in Corrie really do mirror Dot and Nick in EE. No matter what either have done, both Vera and Dot take them back, time after time.
