The church tower certainly is on Regent Road M602 junction. The rest long gone with Archie Street. A lot of the redevelopment by 2003 when I lived there was in a poor state and there were plans to redevelop again. If it happened I dont know, but Bonfire night in Ordsall back then made the London fireworks on thames at New Year tame. They burned down a house instead of a bonfire.

Ordsall was a tad rough as you can guess !

Looks like Thursday 30th is the Crossover point- we get the 13/9/94 edition of Emmerdale, and the 12 & 14/9/94 editions of Corrie that day, then Emmerdale pulls ahead after that.
Revolution, Brekkie and Spencer gave kudos

Guess though it'll ultimately level out as Emmerdale added extra episodes quicker than Corrie did.

Back to the present day and the "10,000th episode" is set to air on Friday 7th Feb.

I guess it depends how long it may take to potentionally level out, seeing as Corrie went 4 times a week before Emmerdale even went three times a week, you'll have to wait till late 2000 till Emmerdale was putting out more episodes than Corrie (though there were a few 5 episode weeks over the previous couple of years), and then Corrie started with its 5 episode weeks occasionally in 2001 until they became full time in 2003. The Corrie repeats may never catch up to Emmerdale again!

Will be interesting to see when Drama's EastEnders repeats catch up to both of them, seeing as EE has been producing fewer episodes than either show most of the time. The current gap is around 2 years, 3 months, with EastEnders in May 1992, Emmerdale in July 1994 and Corrie in August 94.

I take it there haven’t been anymore unaired Gplus edits from 1994 cropping up on ITV 3?

No, I think we've passed them now, but for some reason a subplot involving Rita and Rosie was cut out of an episode last week, so the episode ran a couple of minutes short (and the mention of said subplot's been deleted from the Corriepedia page of that episode too for some reason- it's in the plot summary on this edit of the page but has been removed from all the ones after it which seems very strange).

Edit: There's a video on YouTube from the original broadcast, and it doesn't include said subplot either, and that video also runs a couple of minutes shorter than the other episodes that user's uploaded from the original broadcast from the same era. Was this subplot possibly removed last minute from the original broadcast (maybe there was a news story too similar to it?), but possibly left in international broadcasts, hence why it was on the Corriepedia listing for that episode?

It was cut out due to the abduction and murder of Rosie Palmer which happened a week previously.

It wasn't just a similar story, but obviously a child of the same name so it was inevitable that it got cut.

Maybe someone should add it to the notes section?

I always thought it was meant to be a longer story cut not just a few scenes - and that some new scenes were added.

Well I just looked her up on Wikipedia and had no idea she’d died.

Really?? That amazes me. It was huge news at the time, and the NTAs took place just a few days later where there was a big tribute. Where did you think Deirdre went?
