Denise is SO MEAN to Ken. Wants to do it all on her own, until she can't cope / wants to go out drinking, then it's Ken to the rescue. If a bloke treated a woman like that they'd be branded a cad. Using cow.
She treats all the men very badly. I think Don is a good character and blame Denise for causing him to go mad that time. * I know there are a few more wild scenes for him coming up in the future.
Steve is a proper little runt. He thinks he's so charming when he pulls that wide eyed, raised eyebrow, gob open expression, but he just looks simple. He never seems to learn from his many mistakes. Fiona would do better dating a brick wall. There is something majorly wrong with his way of thinking.
Alf is also a bit rich for his holier than thou attitude considering how many times he's tried it on with Rita since he's been married. Although I don't blame him for that cos Awwwwwdraaaa is a horrible rat 😂
world's most severe case of Munchhausen here. Don't know why the script writers picked the name Platt. Should have been Lestrange or Riddle for that entire immediate family.
When Deirdre said to Tracy, whilst she was asleep, that there would be no more arguments and disagreements you can't help laughing. Deirdre and Tracy spent the next 20 years, until Deirdre died in 2015, arguing and disagreeing non-stop.
I know a lot of people don't like Ken, but how Denise was with him at this point was well out of order. He was trying to do his best and she just threw it back at him.
Martin is in your party. The way Gail was treating him. He should’ve been left. I’m not saying it right what he did. He should’ve left her before cheating on her or tired counseling 1st because he was being treated unfairly like an outsider she was kinda pushing him away. #justmythoughts ❤
Audrey , the clapped-out old slag, is in her glory, playing holier than thou, with Martin. It's a pity that Martin wasn't aware of Gail's track-record, where adultery is concerned. Would you credit it? Gail tells Martin she's never needed to look beyond her family. It's too bad that she didn't tell him about the episode, where she was more than willing to get on a plane, with her fancy-man, and leave her family behind.
We've seen this scenario on the programme many times over the years, and it's here again. Man has an affair, gives his wife 1 day to 'get over it', blames wife for "putting shutters up"/ shutting him out, tells wife it's up to her whether or not the relationship should continue, berates wife for not forgiving his cheating within 48 hours of being discovered...this time its petulant Martin, whose sulky face makes me want to slap him. Gail's always been an ugly crier, bordering on hysterics, and I can't bear the way she enunciates every syllable when in tears, but MARTIN IS AT FAULT, no matter how he spins it. Its down to him.
@@bsaunders5271 funny how that the shoe is on the other foot ,it is all down to the man,,,HELLO but did gail not do the exact same thing to brian ,with the aussie ,,or does that not count in your eyes ,,,
@@eddielloyd4070 Exactly. Martin's affair is Gail's fault. Her endless shrieking, nagging, overreacting puts a man in the mood of some soft loving. I'm 100% serious and don't care if I'm not politically correct. It's just my opinion.
2:38:19 - Maureen to Reg, "You look just like a film star!". Maud to Reg, "" Aye, Boris Karloff. " Excuse me, Maud, but Boris Karloff had a wonderful face, and as a young man was very dashing. If you want an 'ugly' film star try Charles Laughton. Although he was such a great actor his looks didn't really come into it. I love "Hobson's Choice" which coincidentally featured a youngish Jack Howarth (Albert Tatlock), as Tubby the bootmender.
Funny, isn't it. Even when it came to light that Gail was shagging Brian's cousin, Ian, she still managed to find her way to wallow in self-pity. The puddled cow even found a way to justify her affair AND put the blame on Brian.
Poor Gail 😡 I hate the way Audrey and Martin are acting as though a one night stand is no big deal. Martin doesn't even seem properly sorry. He gets annoyed when Gail gets angry at him and doesn't even deny it when Gail says he'll always be tempted by the female nurses
Can’t understand she’d be attracted to Martin . Saviour of the NHS ( although he’s a student nurse and has no responsibility., 🙄 Plus he struts in to his house with his uniform on 😂😂 infection control ?!?! Can’t stand his character!
Gail is a hypocrite. She cheated on Brian but expected understanding and forgiveness. In that case, I think it was 1986, she was practically in love with the Australian and thought (at first) Sarah-Louise belonged to him. Martin seemed sorry to begin with, but Gail just wanted to scream at him, so he wasn't going to stay remorseful for long. Also Nicky causes no end of problems and ill-feeling in that household, but Gail doesn't seem to see it.
@@heather1882 Martin is awesome. He's a good bloke, quick witted and funny. Gail is a self-centred moping disaster area. She is never happy. She is the most annoying character on this show and a horrible wife.
She who is without sin and all that ! The holier than thou Gail just nine years earlier indulged in a extra marital affair with Ian the Aussie during her first marriage to our Brian, so she was no stranger to cheating in marriage. Maybe the script writers hoped the viewers had forgotten that fact.
Gail did cheat before, but that was when she was married to R. Brian. She has been faithful to Martin and even told him before she agreed to marry him that she was worried he would cheat with a younger woman. He swore he never would, so she married him. Just goes to show, never say never! Plus, I cannot believe he put his hands on Nick, and screamed at him that the situation wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for him! Way to shift the blame, Martin
I dunno, not condoning Martin AT ALL, but the situation wouldn’t have presented itself if Nick wasn’t such a little brat. So, I can see Martin losing his rag when he starts up again.
Gail manages to question the morals of the nurse who had a drunken one night stand with Martin because she was so young. 😂😂, well at least she didn’t get pregnant.
Age had nothing to do with it Gail; it is your Ivy Jekyll& Hyde personality that pops up every time little Nickie has a hissy fit and you turn on Martin.
Best thing to do in that situation is to kick Gaile out of the house, like how she kicked Brian out when she had an affair with a cousin. Give her a taste of her own medicine.
I love that dialogue between Alma and John The Hairdresser in Jim's Cafe: John: 'I hear there's a car for sale.' Alma: 'I'll take it!' That looks like a lovely MG Midget, glad it worked out for her (no thanks to Mike, by the way).
March 1995 seems to be the Month of Unreasonable/Hysterical Women. Denise's hostility towards Ken Barlow is just unfathomable: she wants him as an unpaid babysitter but doesn't even want to be friends with him. And Gail's hysterics over Martin's very brief fling are way over the top considering she'd had an affair when married to Brian Tilsley. Okay, when she cheated it was on Brian, not Martin, but wow! what a hypocrite.
Totally agree, Gail...aka the "Chinless Wonder" seems to have erased that from her memory and she slept with Brian's cousin, then thought she was pregnant from him and also wanted him to take her to Australia and was most upset when he did not. She also slept with him in her own home and her and her husbands bed.
Comments like this are proof par excellence of the believability of the characters. It's still excellent writing and superlative acting during this era x
She DID cheat on R. Brian, but Martin knew about that before they married. I think Martin was bang out of order sleeping with that young nurse, he will have known how bad it would be for Gail, who has always had a hang up about their age difference. He's a self centred, immature prat.
I loved the Audrey "comfort" scene with Gail. Hilarious. I'm not normally the type to take infidelity lightly or to derive satisfaction in the misfortunes of others, but Gail pushed him away with her constant complaining. Martin was the best husband of them all in spite of his youth.
Can anyone please clarify the situation of Andy McDonald at this point? I thought he'd resumed his studies at university, but he seems to be working at the Rovers most of the time. Surely he couldn't have been commuting between Weatherfield and Sheffield during this period? Or is he studying somewhere more local, in which case - where?
horrible horrible scenes with Gail hatchet voice. I have to wonder if the child actors with her weren't fraumatized for real on some level. Most painful scenes to watch in the history of Corrie... not because of the subject matter, which is painful enough, but because of the way Gail talks!
Never confide to your partner that you had an affair or a fling, particularly if it's over! You may believe that it's best to be honest, but all you do is plant images in your partner's head.
Helen says on the Platt family album special he (Martin) was fickle, and they were all younger lol. Sean was getting a bit portly by the time Martin had a relationship with the other nurse Rebecca a few years later, so probably wasn’t too happy about doing bed scenes with his top off lol.
hes even more portly nowadays its no surprise though he enjoys cheese, apple strudels, welsh rarebit and sourdough bread but at least he plays quash to keep fit i mean hes no fred elliott is he
Well I will make it as quick as I can. Regs hir piece and curly in the car had me in hysterics. Need some Corrie bloopers Steve has been so naughty and bad to the bone. And I do not agree with what he has been doing sticking up the bills at the bookies. However Skinner I don't think has a leg to stand on. Steve can have him done for assault and the rest. . I just wish he would stop lying and and making out like he's not the one in the wrong. Omg. Hate him lying to Fiona.
Ken and Deirdre with their very unconscious in a coma daughter Tracy(played by Dawn Acton). Hope Tracy pulls through so she can identify who the guy was that drugged her resulting Tracy being in the hospital. A mini reunion for Ken and Deirdre at Tracy's side.
If we remember, Martin begged Gail to be part of her family, the kids, he was a petulant child when she said no gave him a chance to realise he was probably too young. Now he does nothing but complain about the kids, has a stupid affair, then says Gail is out of proportion for being upset about him cheating on her. Men smh 😂
That Martin Platt was the most awful actor. Just a really irritating person. Skip onto the next scene when he comes on. The others are superb overall. Vera tops the lot! She’s so funny!
I don't think he was awful, but his character was irritating. Bet Lynch's character is obviously popular, but, apart from in small bursts, I can't really appreciate her. She has a good scene or line every twenty or so episodes, but otherwise, she gets too many tired one-liners. I don't like the way she refers to everyone as 'cock', it's dreadful. And she permanently looks like a tarty throwback from the 1960s'. Who had a beehive and wore leopard print in the 90s, ffs?
Don't blame Nick really. I understand clearly why Nick has it in for Martin is because Nick(Nicky) found out that Martin has been messing around behind his mother Gail's back with another woman. Nicky loves his mother but right now he just hates Martin and that I don't blame Nick for feeling this way. Because there's a comparison that Martin is not Brian. And that's very understandable really. I understand where Nicky is coming from. He's Brian and Gail's son. And Sarah is Brian and Gail's daughter not Martin's kids. The only link Martin has to Gail is their son David Platt and David's children Max Turner and Lily Platt. You see here. Don is having a barmy with Josie over his past history with wife Ivy and some woman called Denise. And Nick comes knocking on his grandfather Don's door after a huge row with his stepdad Martin Platt and when Don wasn't there for Nick. Nick saw his grandmother Audrey Roberts in the car. And Audrey was sensing something is up with Nicky since he walked out after the row with Martin. Nicky eventually tells Audrey what the row with Martin was about. Martin is seeing another woman behind Gail's back and is hiding it from Gail. However Gail finds out about Nicky and Martin's row and isn't happy that Martin putting his hands on her son Nick like he did and then Gail and Martin have a row afterwards.
What is it with the Platt's and Christmas, getting cheated on? Kylie slept w Nick and cheated on David on Christmas as well years later. Holiday generosity perhaps smh
Nick is a brat. So badly brought up by doting Gail. The chaos in that house. That's why kids misbehave....it's the parents winding them up. They get them over excited and then wonder why they go off the rails. No stability. I'm with Percy on most things!! Oh no, here come the brickbats!
Ken's got some lovely qualities. Deirdre always seems a bit wooden to me. She always looks lovely but she's never very convincing in her role. These scenes show the deep relationship she and Ken have and I do like this. It adds such depth to the storyline.
Now we all know that Audrey can’t keep her mouth shut so why do they keep telling her things and get upset when they all know she can’t keep her mouth shut
Reg and his rug made me laugh 😆 I like reg I think he played a good part in Corrie always made me giggle 🤭 especially when he sang on karaoke 🎤, and I also liked Maude she made me laugh 😆 when she would call reg a prat 😂😂😂
The irony of the writers with Gail’s script after she was gonna disappear to Australia leaving both husband and kids behind….she needs a wake up call!!! 🤔😳
Can anyone explain why Gail and Martin have to "cook tea" every night when all Gail has to do is bring a meal home from the cafe? Even if they want sommat different that's not on the regular menu, she could still cook it at the cafe and save on their leckie bill. And she's supposed to be supermom.
Oh so Jack COULD be good with children? It's just that he was an absolute disgrace to Terry...but of course Terry is the bad guy from the last couple of years forward ...🙄

Steve has been so naughty and bad to the bone. And I do not agree with what he has been doing sticking up the bills at the bookies.
However Skinner I don't think has a leg to stand on. Steve can have him done for assault and the rest. .
I just wish he would stop lying and and making out like he's not the one in the wrong. Omg. Hate him lying to Fiona.
Ken and Deirdre with their very unconscious in a coma daughter Tracy(played by Dawn Acton). Hope Tracy pulls through so she can identify who the guy was that drugged her resulting Tracy being in the hospital. A mini reunion for Ken and Deirdre at Tracy's side.
Lizs skirts it is the 90ts not the 60ts
Nick would end up working for Mike in 2004 lol
Here here
23:58 Watch the Rovers Return implode!!!
How old was Tracy in this video
18
Yeah Melanie
If we remember, Martin begged Gail to be part of her family, the kids, he was a petulant child when she said no gave him a chance to realise he was probably too young. Now he does nothing but complain about the kids, has a stupid affair, then says Gail is out of proportion for being upset about him cheating on her. Men smh 😂
I do wish the full credits had been included for each ep.
Hi, do you know what year this was showed on itv3, I'm guessing 2020?
Anyone else notice that Gail has had the same bag since the early 70's ???
Gail received the bag as a gift for her 21st birthday from Suzi Birchall.
I know we remind ourselves about Ken's selfishness and haphazard direction with women, but he was quite right to have told Denise off.
Kareoke Reg was The Best!
That Martin Platt was the most awful actor. Just a really irritating person. Skip onto the next scene when he comes on.
The others are superb overall. Vera tops the lot! She’s so funny!
I don't think he was awful, but his character was irritating. Bet Lynch's character is obviously popular, but, apart from in small bursts, I can't really appreciate her. She has a good scene or line every twenty or so episodes, but otherwise, she gets too many tired one-liners. I don't like the way she refers to everyone as 'cock', it's dreadful. And she permanently looks like a tarty throwback from the 1960s'. Who had a beehive and wore leopard print in the 90s, ffs?
Don't blame Nick really. I understand clearly why Nick has it in for Martin is because Nick(Nicky) found out that Martin has been messing around behind his mother Gail's back with another woman. Nicky loves his mother but right now he just hates Martin and that I don't blame Nick for feeling this way. Because there's a comparison that Martin is not Brian. And that's very understandable really. I understand where Nicky is coming from. He's Brian and Gail's son. And Sarah is Brian and Gail's daughter not Martin's kids. The only link Martin has to Gail is their son David Platt and David's children Max Turner and Lily Platt. You see here. Don is having a barmy with Josie over his past history with wife Ivy and some woman called Denise. And Nick comes knocking on his grandfather Don's door after a huge row with his stepdad Martin Platt and when Don wasn't there for Nick. Nick saw his grandmother Audrey Roberts in the car. And Audrey was sensing something is up with Nicky since he walked out after the row with Martin. Nicky eventually tells Audrey what the row with Martin was about. Martin is seeing another woman behind Gail's back and is hiding it from Gail. However Gail finds out about Nicky and Martin's row and isn't happy that Martin putting his hands on her son Nick like he did and then Gail and Martin have a row afterwards.
What is it with the Platt's and Christmas, getting cheated on? Kylie slept w Nick and cheated on David on Christmas as well years later. Holiday generosity perhaps smh
They do those storylines at Xmas because they know the viewing figures will be high. Viewers expect a bit of scandal at Xmas.
A big part of this is because Christmas is also David's birthday - hence the double whammy.
Why does Nick always hate on Martin. I understand Martin had a fling this time, but even before Nick wasn't nice to him
He isn't his real father so i guess Nick feels angry about it even though its not Martin's fault that Brian died.
Nick is a brat. So badly brought up by doting Gail. The chaos in that house. That's why kids misbehave....it's the parents winding them up. They get them over excited and then wonder why they go off the rails. No stability. I'm with Percy on most things!! Oh no, here come the brickbats!
Gail does my head in.
Poor Gail.
Ken's got some lovely qualities. Deirdre always seems a bit wooden to me. She always looks lovely but she's never very convincing in her role. These scenes show the deep relationship she and Ken have and I do like this. It adds such depth to the storyline.
Now we all know that Audrey can’t keep her mouth shut so why do they keep telling her things and get upset when they all know she can’t keep her mouth shut
Too true!!You can see it coming. Too predictable!!
I want Emily to talk faster
Reg and his rug made me laugh 😆 I like reg I think he played a good part in Corrie always made me giggle 🤭 especially when he sang on karaoke 🎤, and I also liked Maude she made me laugh 😆 when she would call reg a prat 😂😂😂
403:02 - Sonia from Eastenders???
The irony of the writers with Gail’s script after she was gonna disappear to Australia leaving both husband and kids behind….she needs a wake up call!!! 🤔😳
Can anyone explain why Gail and Martin have to "cook tea" every night when all Gail has to do is bring a meal home from the cafe? Even if they want sommat different that's not on the regular menu, she could still cook it at the cafe and save on their leckie bill. And she's supposed to be supermom.
Reg Holdsworth was a despicable character not much different from the real man (see celebrity big brother)
I agree. I can't stand to watch him and have to fast-forward over most of his scenes. Horrible man and all that gurning!
Is Martin doing anyone else’s head in? He is so annoying!
He was always like that for his entire time on the show
@@EveHenleySpread I do agree but more so come 1995! 🙈
4:28:40 Siouxsie!
Elton John definitely styles himself off reg!!!!
Grow up, Gail....!
Oh so Jack COULD be good with children? It's just that he was an absolute disgrace to Terry...but of course Terry is the bad guy from the last couple of years forward ...🙄
OMFG ….they didn’t half drag this dull story of Martin’s infidelity out and tested Helen Worth’ s ‘acting’ to the max 🤔😳🤷🏼♂️
