Classic Coronation Street #2 I say Coronation Street #2

She wasn't Susannah Farnham. Susannah was the 1st wife whose 2 sons dies in a car crash. She was Patricia Farnham, Max's 2nd wife.

Karen Drury who played Susannah Farnham also played Joe Sugdens girlfriend Angie in Emmerdale for a few weeks.

I don't remember Gwen or the diy shop but i remember Jez, Bobby and Debs. I was studying for my GCSEs at the time this was airing, so I wonder if I just dipped in and out of it.

I've been thinking she was Bernie, same actress, different role!

I thought this for ages when she played Dixie in Casualty! Glad it wasn't just me . I was gobsmacked when I realise she wasn't in Brookie.

Oh my god! I’ve just realised she played Dixie in casualty! Mind blown!

I loved Brookside, I wish one of these millions of channels would show it from the beginning!!!

I don’t remember Bobbi at all. I can hardly remember her from episode to episode never mind 22 years ago

I think it was Jane Hazlegrove who played Dixie in Casualty. She has played two characters in Corrie, Sue Clayton part of the unpopular Clayton family, and Bernie, Gemma Winter's mum.

I really did think she was the one playing the sister.


I was really impressed with her posh voice too! Weren't even her!

Gabrielle Glaister played Debs. She also played Max Farnum's wife in Brookie. And "Bob" in Blackadder of course!

I was watching old The Bill episodes on the Drama Channel app a few years ago and it used to show up only certain episodes but when you got to the last episode, it would show you more. Or maybe once they snare you in after the free trial, it would let you see more.

I subscribe to Britbox and there genuinely is only 8 random episodes

The Bill on the UKTV Drama Catch up app is different as they are showing every episode continuously on the Drama channel like they’re doing with Classic EE so there will be lots of episodes in order

It’s moving at such a fast rate now that it doesn’t seem quite as classic as around a year ago. Many of the newer characters where the rot sets in and so many ‘shock’ stories. Long gone now are Phyllis and Percy, Mavis and Derek. We hardly see Jack and Vera, Emily et all. They are modernising it with newer characters, Nita, Vik, Debs, Becky, Gwen, Bobbi, Douggie. None of these are remotely interesting or memorable. Yet stories are constantly based around them.

The actor playing the private detective on modern Corrie tonight - isn't he the same actor who played the taxi driver Jez made Steve hire, who he's just laid off?

Seems I was right. In fact, he's played several different roles on Corrie throughout the years, according to Corrie fandom:

Steven Hillman (born 10th October 1965 in Middlesbrough) has appeared in Coronation Street in six roles:

• The Jury Foreman present at the trial of Steve and Vicky McDonald heard at Weatherfield Crown Court in May 1996
• A Repossession Man who took back Greg Kelly's car in December 1998
• Taxi driver Rich Raven between April and May 2000
• Weatherfield Arms landlord Colin Rothwell in December 2003
• DS Fordham, who investigated Carla Connor's assault on Tony Gordon in June 2010.
• A Fire Investigator who investigated a case of arson at Webster's Autocentre in January 2017.

I can’t stop looking at the blonde highlight at the front of Jez’s hair . And he sweats a lot, which may be down to the large leather coat. Or the suede one.
