In the mid 90s my dad had two cats that he called Jim and Liz, because one was angry and looked like it had a moustache, and the other was really arrogant and spent its entire life preening and parading around like god's gift.
Whilst the month is generally depressing (especially re Curly and Raquel), the Barlow wedding was actually really funny and sowed the seeds for the later years with Blanche and her famous wit. Such a shame those years ended far too soon, but good to see where they started.
Why doe everyone think Blanche was funny in those days? I found her to be a critical, acid tongue busy body. Not the least bit funny, just downright nasty
4:13:03 - Return of Dastardly Denise, which in my view was the episode that saved November 1996 from being a complete dreary and depressing washout. Denise was such a contrary character: she wanted a man, then she didn't want him; she wanted a hairdressers' shop, then she didn't want it; she wanted a child, then she didn't want him, but then decided she did, and caused no end of havoc in getting him back. Her turning up just as Ken and Deirdre were rekindling their relationship can almost be seen now as the cause of Deirdre getting involved with conman Jon Lindsay just six months later. Had Denise not caused mayhem for Ken, that may never have happened. Denise was contrary, cruel and selfish. Perhaps the only thing she really wanted in life was her sister's husband, and until she got him, she just caused havoc wherever she went and for anyone who came into contact with her.
Who the hell does Liz McDonald think she is, she had half &half with divorce settlement but that cash wot Jim got is his wot his mam left him, inheritance, nowt t do with Liz, let her bookie friend pay.
Oh crumbs, 4:51:01 Sovereign cigarettes, £2.49! I used to smoke them at this time, back when you could get 20 fags and 2 pints of beer and still have change from a fiver.
Its just struck me that Bookie owner, Shaun Skinner would make a great Dracula! He had a vague look of American actor Frank Langella who was a very good Dracula. Wonder if he went on to make any film roles in the Horror genre? Anyway, the Raquel & Curly breakup was very well done & superbly acted, actor Kevin Kennedy really broke his heart & Raquel became cold & steely Once she " became" someone in her own right & believed in herself she changed so much. C'est la vie! Cheers 🇬🇧👧
I felt so sad for Curly and Raquel should never have chosen to leave but then again it really was the writers. I wish someday to see him return to the cobbles.
Just started watching this year's offering for the second time. The way liz (slapper) used to punch, slap, and push Jim. The way she'd deliberately bait him and keep an argument going by constantly adding fuel to it was awful.
Women aren't abusive, they're "fiery" and "passionate", and need a "real man". But seriously, a friend of mine had a girlfriend like that for awhile, she would kick him, punch him, scream at him, do anything she could to try and provoke him. Thank god he eventually saw sense and chucked her.
If i had £1 for every time, 'life goes on' is said in this show? I have been on this earth 70 years and never Have i heard that said. Imagine if you are suffering a trauma and someone said, life goes on? We know life goes on fgs.
The one that always gets me is on Eastenders, any time I watch it a character always angrily/sarcastically says "Like one big 'appy family, is that the idea?" - I have never heard anybody say this in real life.
As much as my heart breaks for Curly I don't think it was Raquel's intention to break his heart although that was always an inevitability. She came back from Maidenhead a much more confident person and Curly didn't like it even though he encouraged her. Like she said to him once..."I'm not your fantasy. I'm a real person." Curly wanted his fantasy of Raquel.
He wanted love,a wife and family. She knew she didn't love him before she married him.she just married to get out of the trouble she was in with Des hurting her.curly gave her everything including financial support to get where she did .
I just knew it deep down Raquel didn’t love ❤️ curly I think she was in love with des but des didn’t love ❤️ her because he had a affair with Tanya behind Raquels back what a carry on
Well i think i can safely add Jamie to the list of kids my mum would've atomised if Jamie had been my brother. So first of all Nicky 5 fingers Platt who wouldn't have gone to Canada under age. Tracy for being gobby. And Jamie for the horse incident.
I only really watched Tracy’s wedding to Robert and see what I think of Dawn playing her. I think she’s pretty good but I can see why Kate took over in 2002 Is it me or is Dawn’s Tracy similar to Amy?
It's a way of saying "against it" I think, meaning he really is against the wedding. Maybe part of the accent in that area? Though Deirdre does speak more posh sounding, compared to say, Uncle Albert Tatlock for instance. Like when they use "innit" instead of "isn't it".
How sad that Jude categorises ‘ a good man’ as someone who doesn’t booze,doesn’t womanise, doesn’t gamble, isn’t violent. Such low expectations of someone ‘decent’.
Unfortunately Raquel was little more than arm candy and sex on tap for Curly. Like a Stepford Wife trapped inside his idea of who she was meant to be. He comes across as a good man sometimes but is on a bit of a psychotic knife edge too so best to leave him sooner rather than later. Seeing her progress in any shape or form was a nightmare for him.
Id been feeling a tad low with having a weep with poor Curley Lying with Raquels dressing gown & crying his heart out 😢 Then Denise sweeping off with baby Daniel, leaving Ken broken However, there are compensations, like the wonderful Fred Elliott.. i just love him! John Savident is such an good actor bringing a massive character like Fred to our hearts Ive watched many tv & film productions starring John & whatever character he plays he stands out in everyone of them. Loving the Maureen & Bill pairing Loving Fionas side line singing! I always liked Angela Griffin & her role of Fiona & just wish shed let herself go singing & belt out a few numbers! Doesn't Andys drippy girlfriend Anne look like American actress Anne Hathaway? Anyway she, Andys Anne is such a Arsewipe! Hope Andy chucks her soon! Des's bit & Maxine both have horrible whistly voices, i really Cant stand those kind of whispery whistling voices ! They Grate on me like nails down a blackboard! Its obvious that Liz's secret admirer is Steves prison mate who looks like a very bad boy! A proper gangster! 😨 Thanks EHS 🇬🇧👧
The writing is terrible and the story lines are bad ... its hard to think Eldarado was cancelled when corrie is so bad in these times.... Tracy is a beautiful girl but by eck she is a foul actress.

So well said. Blanch is so funny and nasty at times but a heart of gold.

Yip. Poor curly. He has hit the nail on the head with everything he has said to Raquel.
He was a good bloke. He didn't really deserve that.
Poor curly😢
Yes, he was spot on. Very well written and acted.
Rita is a little bit odd. She makes a decision but instantly backs out of it if someone else knows before she announces it herself. Red flag.
Poor Curly ! 😭😭😭

I 100% agree.
She didn't even attend her mother -in- law's funeral....
Wot indeed
that did really annoy me too, and to do that when Jim had just lost his mam was cruel.
Liz McDonald was a slapper.
I thought turning the background noise off when Curly's heart was breaking was a powerful decision
Seems Andy preferred a dressing gown to parading round in his boxers like Steve!

Denise has always been a headcase and should have been locked up. She did nothing but mess with Daniel's head from childhood.
It doesnt say much about Alec being an impresario when Fiona clearly has no singing talent whatsoever!
It was the same back in the 1980's with Jenny Bradley. He was sitting there bobbing his head along, smiling with delight while she sang very badly
Exactly. As mediocre as Fiona is, she's miles better than the rest of the talent he trots out, which says it all.
I agree.fiona was poor but bradley was diabolical like her personality.
Fiona's singing was fine. These nasty people commenting otherwise, are a bunch of negative Nellies. Jealousy is an ugly trait.
