Slightly off topic here but......

SBS6 has recently started showing Coronation Street - as I am off work today, I just thought I would see from which era they have started showing it from...... I just cannot remember the year.

Linda Baldwin has recently left
Peter Barlow has just started seeing Sally from the Rovers and he is only a cashier at the bookies
Sarah Lou Platt (the new one) is about 12 or 13
Kevin is seeing Molly the Social Worker (funny I forgot about that - he must have a fetsih about women called Molly!!!)
John Bowe (cant remember the characters name) was behind the bar in the episode I saw!


Id say that was late 2001. Duggie died in early 2002 and that kicked off the Richard Hillman storyline which ran for over a year.

I didn't think the Tricky Dickie storyline was that long ago. I thought R Gail got through husbands quicker than that! Wink

She managed to stay married to R Brian for about 7 years (the first time) and Martin for around 9 years. Martin of course was the only one to escape with his life!

In other news apparently Keith Duffy has quit a second time to concentrate on Boyzone. Not a particular surprise IMO.

Did any of you see that the Sport Relief Manchester mile ran through Coronation Street? The mile obviously went through Granada Studios.

She was strangely reinstated. I think it was along the lines of someone told Carla Kelly provoked her so she gave her another chance.

yes I meant trams, was just making the point that in 50 years of corry we've seen 1 train cross the viaduct and that fell off Rolling Eyes

anyway they've shot themselves in the foot with it because we've seen over the last few years that the viaduct has been curtailed and the brewery building runs across it so you can't suddenly have trams going across.

I know somebody's now going to get all narky with me for my continous reference to Corry's implausable continuity


Corrie is full of them, such as the tardis inside The Rovers, and the different dimensions that the Rovers toilets and the Barlows living room are in! Theres also the infamous moving of the Peacock's staircase Laughing

On topic of the show- does anyone know if Gail eventually gets out? I can't bear the jail scenes anymore and it doesn't seem to be drawing to a close any time soon.

Well she will get out at some point as she won't be found guilty, but I think she is in prison until June or whenever they said the trial is.

The Platts are one of the best families in the street so I haven't got a problem with this. New Nick I'm not sure about though. They should get rid of him and bring back Sarah Lou.

Depends on how 'friendly' Tina & Ryan are thesedays? (Didn't they split up off screen, despite her having his kid?)
