Classic Coronation Street #5 Just have a little patience cropper!

Blanche reading the wrong book, Grinding Hard

It made me laugh so much that scene did.
It was more seeing Deidre in bits laughing that did it, I miss those two.

Ray Langton - wait until Tracy finds out who he is.

 

[MrsPiggleWiggle]

I think at the time I was so distracted by Katy’s horrific hairstyles that I didn’t notice Sally’s!

tomorrow...

Spoiler: he had it coming

Blanche reading the wrong book, Grinding Hard

I was howling at Emily asking Norris why her pages were stuck together, implying something untoward

 

[Miss.Chanandler.Bong]

Could one of you tell me if this Blanche scene has aired already please?

 

[Ktb]

Could one of you tell me if this Blanche scene has aired already please?

She looks older there than what we’re seeing now so I say it hasn’t.

Blanche to Ray:

"I see your hair has given up the ghost. Quite the young buck you were with that unruley mop."



At this point, Ray was one of the longest gap comebacks. Having last been seen in 1978, nearly 27 years previously.

Blanche and Ray in 1974:



And again in 1978:

I think it has. When Alf or Alma died Blanche went to see Audrey.

All the Blanchisms are delivered brilliantly by Maggie Jones but where are the writers these days who can write lines like these.

Tommy calling Angela a “fat witch” and then gloating to Katy that he was glad he got it wrong about Martin & Sally as it meant she got rid of the baby and then kept banging on about which young girl would be next for Martin. I loved how he practically handed Katy the murder weapon

Sally has no remorse about her affair whatsoever, the randy cow. Poor Rosie has been dragged into her web of lies as well

 

[Maid22]

Now watching, Tommy was a nasty bugger! Martin saying rock on Tommy, did make me laugh though!

 

[Maid22]

How many mothers would have taken that blame? Mine would have rang the police as soon as that had happened and told them it was me....

My mum would have done the same

I put it on X to rewind to make sure it was what I had heard - how on earth did they get away with calling Angie that even then.

I think Angela and Katy are doing a really good job with this storyline. I can feel the angst through the screen. Can't imagine a storyline like that being so well acted in modern corrie.

Edited to add: Is that Beth!??

Yes it is, she appeared in 5 episodes as the family liaison officer

‘Beth’ was in something else I was watching this week from many years ago, was it Classic Emmerdale?

Edit: I’ve just remembered, it was Classic Emmerdale she was in earlier this week. She was playing the mum of Victoria’s friend. Something to do with a mobile phone and their respective daughters lying about what the other daughter had said and Jack went to their house to have it out with the mum
