Classic Coronation Street #2 I say Coronation Street #2

Sorry if this has already been asked, but back when this was originally on, roughly how many episodes were shown a week? If anybody can remember please

We’re currently in 1999 so it was 4 times a week - Mon, Wed, Fri & Sunday

So we have just seen the anticipated return of Norris Cole (how could Brian Park be so stupid to axe him in 1997?). Plus the start of his long running partnership with Rita in The Kabin.

Sadly now gone for good in the present day show.

Blanche now around too. Some interesting times ahead for the next few years.

I'll start to lose interest around 2005/2006, as I thought the show started to nosedive around that point.

By that time Danny Baldwin was around calling Janice, 'lippy' and Sean Tully, 'mincemeat'.

There was much more variety back then. Freshcos at least took the residents out of the street.

Roy's upcoming Millennium party.

This is when Rita is persuaded to do 'a singing turn' on the stage...




Performing ''On the Street Where I Live', a song that Barbara Knox actually recorded in 1973.

Aw I absolutely love her. Just don’t let her drive home.

I’m a bit behind and catching up. Sharon put out that she’s been cut from Rita’s will. What a cheek after pocketing £45k

It was genius putting Norris in the cabin. One of the best stories of this era

That was a question on The Chase the other night - originally it was twice a week. I assumed it was just once in the early days

It's quantity over quality

This is Alma's penultimate Xmas in Corrie.

Xmas 2000 will be her very last.

It is also hard to believe that Amanda Barrie will be 87 this year!

I liked Alma, she brought a lot to the Street. And of course with her leaving we get Dastardly Richard Hillman…

Alma was one of my faves, was sad she left.
