haha yes this was hilarious! Aired a few weeks back. A lot of people don’t seem to like the Battersbys but I love them, they definitely brought a breath of fresh air that was needed

I didn't like the Battersby family first time round, but watching it back now I don't think they are that bad. I think I've been desensitised over the years by some of the more outrageous characters and genuinely bad actors like Cilla and Gemma!
 
Brilliant pair of episodes yesterday! The staircase saga was hilarious, something that the current writers just couldn't replicate today! I loved how Alec refused to pay up as they weren't his stairs but then said he had right of access once Jack and Vera had stumped up the cash! The Hayley scenes were sweet but excruciating at the same time. I'd forgotten how shy she was and felt so sorry for her when Audrey sent her packing. I also really liked the Nick and Leanne story, though I think you wouldn't recognise either of the characters in modern corrie as being the same. I've never believed in their relationship at all, they have no chemistry now, but back then they were a good match.

Vera shouting out the window to Jim & Gary they’re barred 🤣 Jack taking extra bread up the ladder to butter for the sandwiches 🤣 Vera taking the ladder so Jack had to stay downstairs 🤣 so we’ll written & the acting spot on 👌🏽

I really liked the hilarious storyline around this time where Alec had set up an escort agency called Golden Years and was persuading Ken and one of the dates died in the toilet!

It had amazing pathos in them days the whole show was like the best sitcom drama rolled in one . EastEnders was never good at humour it outlived it's early promise pretty much within the first 15 years .

ive only just got to the wedding , where jim gatecrashes it to announce him and fiona slept together, what a baffling storyline, ive never seen the point in it tbh, i dont believe she would sleep with jim , and i dont really see fiona and Alan as a couple, all they seem to have done is argue from the first week. I'm in a position of ff most scenes, i cant stand deidre and john, natalie and kevin is annoying and fiona and alan is boring , i'm just glad there is Alec acting like he owns the Rovers :D and Fred bouncing back to want to buy the shop
 
My fast forwards are :
The dullard Des Barnes,
Hamster faced Kevin Webster,
Gormless pushover "ow-er Ash-laaaay"
The mind numbing Malletts.
I'm just about to watch the woodworm stairs saga you all enjoyed earlier, I just love a good Jack and Vera storyline!
 
Just a heads up.

Weekdays at 6:00am & 6:25am ITV3 usually repeat the previous weekday afternoon’s Classic Corrie (CC) episodes.

Of course they are not showing CC in the afternoon over Easter (Good Friday & Easter Monday) so naturally you would assume that there will be no ‘repeats’ on Monday & Tuesday morning.

However they are still showing 4 ‘new’ episodes on Monday & Tuesday morning, the same episodes that would have been shown in those previous afternoon slots. Don’t be surprised if you usually watch in the afternoons and tune in on Tuesday afternoon thinking they have skipped 4 episodes

The same is also happening with Classic Emmerdale

Thanks @Cupid_Stunt I’ve given up on today’s Corrie so I’m disappointed that Classic Corrie has been put on the back burner for a few days
