Hilda, Mrs Sharples and Mrs Walker and Elsie Tanner were fundamental characters who were there for a long time, reflecting the Streets very strong Matriarchal theme. Listen to Tony Warren, he wanted to replicate what he knew. There were some strong male characters, but it was very women driven, and it's what made it so great. The characters that this programme was built on were irreplaceable and once they went, and what they represented disappeared, the programme went massively downhill. It stopped focusing on creating lasting characters to characters who were there to carry sensationalist story lines. Who could have imagined a character created to become a serial killer in the earlier post millennium period? Let alone the 60s, 70s and 80s. It's almost like it's ended up as a slasher version of the programme. And it became a load of crap for it.

it was ITV and perfectly acceptable for them to product place, and even take "bribes" from companies to push forward certain items. the bbc was once unable to have any product placement, because it was a public company. you may have noticed a lot of the cars on the show were british made; jaguar, mini, rover. it made no difference, as they were all bankrupt by the end of the 90s.

Corrie was suffering throughout 1988, just like it was in 1985 with all the major departures of the previous few years. 1989 would see Corrie enter a new era. Bill Podmore as producer was a bit stale by this point and new blood was needed at the top. However, as I mentioned in a previous comment, Coronation Street is miles better here than it has been over the past 20 years.

This Lisa woman ain't no friend of Jenny's. She's about to steal Patrice away from Jenny and warn him of Jenny. That's not what friends do for each other. Jenny was never interested in Lisa's so called flirting of a husband. She's in love with Patrice the new French man. And now Lisa is about to ruin Jenny's chance with Patrice. And when Jenny finds out what Lisa said to Patrice about her. She will be more than angry. She'll be upset. Lisa is going to warn Patrice about Jenny as Lisa's way of getting back at Jenny because of that thing regarding Lisa's flirting husband who actually kissed Jenny first not the other way around. Lisa is twisted in the head. She's not happy because she lost her husband and blaming Jenny for it by warning Patrice of Jenny etc. Jenny hasn't done anything to Lisa or Lisa's husband. Lisa should get her facts right first before blaming others for her marriage falling apart which is not Jenny's fault. It's all Lisa's husband's fault. Because Lisa's husband is a womanizer and always will be.

In 90s, I was self employed but could not get mortgage as didn't have (at the time) 3 years worth of accounts. Yet, I switched to PAYE and got accepted for mortgage with 1 months wages. A few years later the firm I worked for went bust. No one knows the future. If, you shout at 'em at mortgage interview Kevin, that will clinch it lad. Wouldn't mind fondling Sally's walnut whips.
