Classic Coronation Street #3 Save the cobbles residents are whining, whilst Deirdre and Dev are 69ing!

Please tell me I'm not the only one who finds Richard strangely attractive.

 

[Rockin' Robin]

So I guess putting Janice and Les back together, was one of the hastily re-wtitten storylines, that occured because of Julie Goodyear's unexpected departure.

How annoying is Karen? Can she go an episode without screaming in Steve’s face? Does anyone know how much longer she’s in Corrie?

A while yet. Her last appearance is December 2004. We have all the Amy and Tracey stuff to come yet

That was a bit rushed with Bet. Dont suppose there was much else they could do tho.
Oh god Karen. She annoys me so much. Her facial expressions.

 

[kachoochoo]

i just loved the shot of karen marching down the street the other day in her big leather coat. almost like a foreshadowing of her in gentleman jack

 

[Orphan_Black]

Oh god Karen. She annoys me so much. Her facial expressions

How is she a beloved, missed character?! She's bloody awful, and oh my gosh, so freaking LOUD. Shut up, shut up, shut up

What was her problem with Joe? Did I miss something or was she just being a bitch? Deserved to be sacked. Ergh, she's horrible.

Maureen Lipman is brilliant as Lillian!

I had a crush on the actor when he was in Grange Hill
I think Brian Capron is French descent, and he does have a French look about him, suave and handsome

Maureen Lipman is brilliant as Lillian!

The scenes between Shelly, Geena and Lillian, plus Norris and Lillian was funny.

"Never Lilly, and never ever, ever, ever Lil."

"So you want us to call you Lillian then?"

"No, Mrs Spencer will do to start with."



Lillian Spencer's 'second growth Claret' she kept boasting about was only a bottle of Sainsbury's Claret.

Mike Baldwin referring to her as Diamond Lil.

Xanadu cocktail bar Cleethorpes.
I can even imagine it!!

 

[kachoochoo]

what a cow! you can't bar norris and rita!

 

[I'veloveditforyears]

I remember Brian Capron in a flat sharing comedy with Su Pollard in the late 70s.

Lillian in today's episode..

"This pub is going upmarket! Plastic earrings and nylon shirts can take themselves off to the Flying Horse!"

About Jack...

"The only ale he could lift was a pint glass to his lips."

Regarding Bet.

Looking at how the story played out, it looked like a down on her luck Bet (after losing the court case) would have been forced to accept Fred's offer of managing The Rovers. Despite previously declining his offer.

Had things of played out, I think we would have seen her return shortly after Lillian Spencer departs.

Lillian was too mean a character to have remained at the Rovers for too long. All the regulars would have been eventually barred!

Was there just one episode on today?

 

[Chip1984]

I wish ITV3 would stop messing around with the start times of Classic Corrie.

One day it starts at 2:30pm, another at 2:15pm. On another day, at a another different time.

 

[Whiffy McBiffy]

I'm not sure what's more frightening: Tricky Dicky, or the fact that this episode will be twenty years old this Sunday
