Julia Stone was a character in Coronation Street in 1999. She was an ex prostitute who slept with Mike Baldwin then conspired to blackmail him for him not telling his wife Alma. Julia was played by Fiona Allen. I don't know how to do spoilers but the story is here, only a few words. https://coronationstreet.fandom.com/wiki/Fiona_Allen

Thanks @rivermonster! I think we’re in October 1998? Or autumn anyway, with the dates for the Freshco training etc the manager gave to Alma.

I think I forget that back then there would have only been a couple of episodes a week, and that we’re getting through them much quicker. When Des was speaking to Natalie about moving in, I’m thinking it was only a fortnight ago he was with Sam, about four weeks ago he was with the blonde lady who had the daughter (played by Chesney’s sister irl) and six weeks when she’s trying to lure a pregnant Steph back!

I thought the same!! Always wanted her to come back, kick the Tates out and buy Home Farm!!!
I'd forgotten about Julia Stone!
I was glad though Alma got rid of him, she was way too good for Mike!

The way he’s treating Hayley is awful but at the time sadly that was the way it was 😔.

As much as I want Mike to be taken down a peg or two, it was quality when he got rid of Greg and Sally in front of everyone.

Buzzing for Bradley Walsh coming, the way thinks are going that should be about new year!

I know! It’s really weird seeing it after all this time.

I enjoy a bit of the old classic Casualty on the Drama channel and Toyah’s just turned up as a junior Doctor. She’s the same annoying, obnoxious character as she was in Law and Order!
 
I think it’s a very good reminder. I know people aren’t as close minded as the late 90’s but there’s still so much ignorance. Even though it’s tough to watch seeing both Hayley and Roy suffering, it does bring home the message very well that they were the exact same people before and they were liked by the majority. Hayley’s gender change shouldn’t change that. It was an excellent storyline, I’d forgotten how good it was.

It certainly was, I'd forgotten how much her and Roy had to put up, very small minded people, especially the awful Les, I just wanted to punch him in the face, really hard :ROFLMAO:

and Tina Dingle/Linda saying to her that she can’t use the ladies in case she spread germs and they could catch something.

Even if there was a man (for instance Mike) who wanted to use the ladies say because the men’s were out of order would Linda have turned him away for having germs etc? Her and the other girls (minus Liz) are being bullies and it’s horrible to watch
