Right, so I'm outa here now.

What we're getting, I now realize, is some other thing, not an actual episode of Coronation Street, since whatever this is you've now decided to spoil for me is happening 10 months in our future ... if I believe you ...

Aw Gins....you've bin and gonna spoilt it for our sexcravingangel!

Don't forget, she's way behind the times.......:)

Dea Report 9 Dec 2010 21:26

I AM SORRY......................

But I REALLY can't think of our JC as a 'sexcravingangel'

Is it just me ???

Apologies JC but to my mind, this is just NOT you !!

Perhaps I have known you for too long , and only on here ?

Maybe, in your other life, you are just that ???

You cant expect the whole of the UK to hold tight for 1 Canadian....

Gee Report 9 Dec 2010 21:35

You know, I would love Hilda to come back for a couple of espisodes...how good would that be..

....maybe she will ;)

Dea

Dea Report 9 Dec 2010 21:37

Is she 'still with us' Ginns ??

If so, that would be good - AND Stan ??

It was a very good programme 'in the olden days'

Hilda is still alive I think she lives in Southport, but the Stan actor died a long time ago.


I used to love Hilda's singing, Ena's hairnet and Albert's flat cap!

You're right Dea....it was a good programme back then.


Gee

Gee Report 9 Dec 2010 21:46

Stan died before he died in the soap, Hilda is about 86 and is very much with us

Did you know Alan Bradley's (Ritas bully) eye brows are the wrong way around....thick bits towards his ears.

...how odd

Dea

Dea Report 9 Dec 2010 21:46

Yes, It was - I used to watch it always - particularly when I left home at quite a young age!

I was born and brought up in Salford which is where the programme started - All these characters were quite real to me and reminded me of 'home'

It has changed a lot over the years and I have now 'lost touch'

Such a shame!

I did once hear that the writer of CS got the names of his characters from a local churchyard..........wonder if that's true?

Dea

Dea Report 9 Dec 2010 21:50

I heard that too Cynths !!

I also heard that the writer of 'Upstairs Downstairs' did it too - perhaps that is the way to go if you are a writer??

The whole of the UK?

I guess I thought it was general knowledge that Canada (and other parts) doesn't get current Coronation Street episodes, and we try our best to avoid reading spoilers.


sexcravingangel -- If only I could get that handle back, but Gmail has now cancelled the account! Seems maybe its real owner did get back into it, and violate the T&Cs. Now with an angelic name like that, I can't imagine.

Gee Report 9 Dec 2010 22:15

Well JC the UK wont have much idea of what you watch in Canada, I cant imagine we/I/they think of you watching a soap like Corrie

And you said you were out of here....you cant resist ;)

Thats whats soooooo good about English soaps

I always thought Minnie Caldwell was much under-rated.

I remember watching Coronation Street in the early days ... when I was home on holidays!

I did in fact see episode number 1

Mum and dad, and then dad alone, loved watching it.


I think I've mentioned before the very weird experience I had in 1990

went back to the UK 'cos my brother had died, literally dropped dead. Eventually the coroner gave his decision and sis-i-l could go and register his death etc at the Register Office in Manchester.

I went with her, and stood looking out of a window as she dealt with the clerk

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm


something familiar down there



took me ages to realise



it was the Coronation Street set!
