Todd said to Jason don’t think you’re sharing our room tonight, implying that the two boys share a bedroom. There are only 3 of them in the house so is there only 2 bedrooms? yet in modern Corrie Eileen’s house has a cast of thousands living there

Back in the day; most of the houses on actual Coronation Street had 2 bedrooms - a few of them since have had loft conversions to make it make sense that they’ve had got so many people living in each house.

Excellent acting from the senior members of the cast, in the Mike Baldwin birthday party episode, especially Eileen Derbyshire. All in all, a very well written episode.

I loved it, my favourite episode since Kev kicked down the door and saved Sally from Greg Kelly. The older characters are the funnier ones now, watching it as someone twice as old as I was first time round!

“He commented on my girth”, how they all reacted to Archie was brilliant.

I’ve had to pause my catch up but I’m laughing at the thought of Charlie having goldfish. She’s doesn’t strike me as a caring pet owner 😂
 
Massive continuity error in that first episode.

Les was seen being chucked out of Hazel's house without his denim jacket, after taking it off.

Then seen in the Rover's talking to his mate about her, WITH his jacket on.

Then a scene after, with Hazel and Vikram where she said about Les coming round and shoving Les's jacket at Vikram.
 
By the end of the week, we will be three months off this infamous character returning.

(Well be up to 10th March 2002 by Friday).

10th June 2002 is when Bet returned for what supposed to be a permanent return to Corrie.

The original plan was to have her working as Manageress of the Rovers under Fred Elliott's ownership.

Unfortunately it went pear shaped, with Bet only appearing in eight episodes in total. Returning in 2003 for another seven episodes.

When she left in 1995 Corrie were producing three episodes a week in sequence, with rehearsal time.

When she returned in 2002, Corrie was producing four episodes a week, with a semi regular fifth episode occurring - which became permanent in 2003.

Episodes were produced out of sequence, with no time for rehearsals.

So the way Corrie was being produced was somewhat different to when she departed many years previously.

I think I would be pretty pissed off returning to somewhere I worked previously, without being told beforehand what changes had occurred since I was last there.

Do you think they would not have told her there were changes and explained them to her. Maybe (my opinion) she is/was a bit of a Diva who thought they would make an exception for her. This is what I got from her on BB and have read her book Just Julie.

I’m still laughing at yesterday’s episode - “Oh…no. Gail, whatever you do, do not come in this room” (lets her in)

I don’t remember Sunita and Duggie - I barely remember Peter and Shelley! I don’t remember Geena’s mum and I remembered Dennis but not him and Janice or how he died.

Good job young Tom works on the cruise ships (with Debbie and Vinnie maybe?) save then having to ask the actor back

I was watching Corrie regularly in 2002 but I don't remember Sally and Martin being a couple at all! 😮
