OT ~ Coronation Street

[SandraC]

Hi ~ Anyone else watch Corrie? I love it! I started watching in the 70's, then watched only a few times and now I am back into it! S

 

[Rubbertops]

We watch Corrie every day. We have been watching for years. Love it.

 

[mickeywho?]

My disney habit is second only to my corrie habit. I've been watching ever since I can remember - around 1975. Who else remembers Uncle Albert?
And yes, I cried the night Mike died...thought they did that very well... with the three others that have been there with him the longest, Ken, Rita and Emily. Whenever family calls from Ireland they have to be reminded not to tell us what's going on - I hate that we're 11 mos behind!

 

[nflder]

Oh My God Yes!! Huge fan - absolutely love it. Fizz is coming to St. John's in February for a question and answer evening. I gave my mom and my aunt tickets for Christmas. It will be a real girls nite out. My only wish is for CBC to bring it back to an hour a night like it was when they were on strike - we are starting to get really far behind now.

Funny - I was thinking about starting a thread like this to see what other disney fanatics were also corrie fanatics!!

;o( We weren't on strike - we were locked out. Big difference.

Write a letter to programming and ask for what you want. If enough people ask...

Big fan for almost 40 years (since I lived in Scotland).
I remember watching it in black and white with characters like Annie Walker,Elsie Tanner,Len Fairclough etc.
I have to admit that I am very weak and can't help myself when checking out the ITV website to look at the Video Previews for the UK viewers
Actually we are not falling behind (as long as their are no lockouts) we see it Monday through Friday here and they see it Sunday,Monday (2 episodes),Wednesday and Friday.
I can tell you that a main character is murdered.
For those of you that have to know, go to this website.

Ah yes ... good ole' Mrs Walker.
I can't believe you popped in that spoiler....must resist....

 

[Scratch42]

I haven't had the time recently to watch!

So what I hear is true!

Mike Died? OMG!

Will I catch it if I watch this Sunday?

j

 

[nflder]

Sorry scratch - you won't catch it this weekend. But you will catch the racket between Danny and the clan over the will - that's all I'll say!! I don't want to turn this into a spoiler thread. I work too hard not to read ahead!

 

[SandraC]

I remember Aunt Albert! Rita married to Len.....and my FAV

BET!

I loved BET! Remember when she was running after Mike?

I cried when Mike died too!

I know who is murdered? AND.....someone died on Christmas! I won't tell you who! My aunt in the UK calls my mum and tells her the updates, then I get them!

I watch nightly at 7pm CBC!

Who do we write to get MORE CORRIE? Blessings, Sandra

PS: Jamie is my eye-candy and jail bait.....heeheehee

 

[digskat]

I love Corrie too! I can not believe Mike is gone! I wonder if Linda will resurfance?

 

[alohamom]

OMG!!! I used to watch a lot before I had my kids but now I do not have the time.However, just last week I tuned in for fun and Mike had died! Holy cow, I was freaking! Maybe you guys who have been watching can tell me what happened to Bette, Curly, Raquel, Liz and her clan(I saw her son Steve with a lot less hair!) and Martin. I still can't get over Martin and Gail breaking up, I think that was around 1998? How can a show touch so many people?

Hmmm...where to start! Bette, Curly and Raquel left (obviously!). Every now and then Bette shows up for the odd appearance but it's been a while. Liz is back, mutton dressed as lamb as my Mom would say, and Steve's Dad is still in the slammer. Martin and Gail broke up, he then had an affair with a school girl, who murdered her dad, then she died (the school girl), (and her mom is in jail for the murder of her Dad) and now Martin eventually ran off with someone else and is off the street for good. Phew!!

 

[alohamom]

How did they write out the those characters? I remember Curly and Raquel were together and then Curly had a baby with someone and that is about all I remember . I think the last episode I saw with Bette, she and Rita had taken a trip to Spain or something ...anyone have more details?

 

[Debbie]

My fifteeen year old has picked up the Corrie habit this winter. So every night....up she goes to the upstairs t.v. See her an hour later.

 

[Rubbertops]

...anyone have more details?

Good sites for info are www.corrie.net and www.csvu.net

 

[SandraC]

When Gail and Brian were married, didn't they have a son named Nicky? What happened to him?

And who is Richard? Thanks, S

 

[tophee99]

Nick is living in Canada.........Vancouver I believe. My dh is an avid fan....although he swears that he doesn't like any type of "soap opera". I love it too!!! Trying to figure out who gets murdered........

 

[lainey]

this is a joke right.....
You guys in Canada dont really watch Corrie do you ??

 

[briarberry]

Yep! Another huge Corrie fan here. I have been watching it for years. I also cried when Mike died but thought it was very well done. My favourites are Jack and Vera. They crack me up. I have ExpressVu so it's on starting at 6:00 for all the time zones in Canada so I can always catch it.
