    One of the biggest injustices for me in the whole Rita and Alan business, is that Jenny never gets a slap or gets shouted down for being such a gobby, disrespectful, brat. She shrieks at everybody. Noone ever pulls her up on it, she gets away with everything, every time, and it drives me NUTS.

    Thanks for this, Eve. I've really enjoyed it. They're good memories. I always thought the Street wasn't worth a light after Mrs Walker left in '83, but these are very entertaining - and I love the sense of the late '80s, with the fashions, the yuppie playing Mike at his own game and so on. And Vera peeling the sprouts on Christmas Day, in her lovely jumper, with a ciggie on and a tub of Vim on her kitchen windowsill. Beautiful scene.

    Fun fact: Mark Eden/Alan Bradley appeared in every single episode from his return at the trial to his Blackpool demise. 23 episodes on the trot - that’s some going! Goes to show how huge the storyline was.

    • @glamdolly30
      @glamdolly30 3 роки тому +12

      Mark Eden was a great actor, it's such a shame Corrie producers (in their wisdom) decided to turn him into a baddie who had to be killed off. He would have been a very worthy successor to Rita's previous man, Len Fairclough - in fact he'd have been a massive improvement on that toad!
      To me it just didn't ring true that Rita never wanted to marry Alan (a handsome, eligible man on the Weatherfield cobbles was rarer than hen's teeth), and form a family unit with his daughter Jenny who she was inexplicably so fond of. For years we were told Rita was broody and desperate to be a mother. Then along comes Alan with his ready made family, and Rita doesn't go for it but chooses to live in sin with him. It didn't ring true - she'd have snapped his hand off!
      Mark Eden was very likeable, and could have brought an attractive, middle aged man into the show to be a new husband for Rita. Lord knows she deserved a Prince Charming after that grotty Len Fairclough!

      @@glamdolly30 when Mark Eden appeared years earlier as Elsie's love interest, I thought his performance was very much like Alan Bradley in his early days. He seemed like a cold fish both times, so I assumed Mark Eden was quite a one dimensional actor. I always wondered if the writers' about turn with Alan's character, from cold and detached to psychopathic, was because the actor's range was quite limited.

I have loved binge watching years of classic fabulous Corrie (thank you so much ProfessionalGun 66) but sadly, I am noticing the nearer we get to the 1990s the more glimpses there are of the stupid, humourless storylines to come. Meanwhile, the humour we all love lives on through Jack and Vera and even Audrey & Alf.

He is being an utter creep, doing his damndest to blame Dierdre for the 'distance' between them and wishy washying between staying and going. Ugh.

      The tram that was filmed killing Alan was number 710 was saved and is now moving to Blackpool's Tramtown Museum. The hotel where Rita stayed, The Strand, has its own blue plaque outside stating that this was the place she was dragged out by Alan and basically opposite, Alan was killed. The plaque was unveiled in 2009 by Mark Eden (Alan) and money was raised for a local charity. People still want to stay in "Rita's room"...where there is Corrie memorabilia scattered about.

    The Alan Bradley storyline has always been my favorite storyline.. I've always been ambivalent. I love and hate at the same time. The acting was so realistic. I felt that Jenny loved her dad unconditionally. She also loved Rita too but she was easy to manipulate. When she told her dad she's not doing Dad, it's all in your mind now... I felt it ♥️ she really wished they were both back together. She wanted things to be back to the way they were... I felt a bit emotional at that scene...and the funeral I felt emotional and when Rita said she will always love her.. I felt that with Jenny.. ambivalence.. there's a bit of both. Love and hate... I felt that too

    Over the years, so many cheating characters have said the same things: "I didn't plan it / it wasn't LIKE that", which isn't exactly helpful for the person being cheated on. I guess it all adds to the drama, as do the constant misunderstandings, and characters' seeming inability to be straightforward. Without such (sometimes excruciating) moments, I suppose the plots would be over in one episode.

      Actually no (as you’ll discover further along).. her memory lapse appears to place her in a period when Len was still alive and she was married to him, but obviously went by Rita Littlewood as her original stage name (and obviously maiden name).
