The producers got the tone perfect with Stan’s passing, Bernard Youens had only died a few months prior to the airing of these episodes and it was still fresh in everyone’s hearts and minds, the final scene the contrast of Vera being critical to Hilda opening the glasses case touched and pulled at everyone’s heart strings and the way the credits rolled with just the sound of Hilda’s sobs gave Stan/Bernard the reverence and tribute he deserved.

Can’t thank you enough for these uploads. Been binge-watching them. 😊 I was 14 when this was broadcast and remember Corrie being on the telly my whole childhood/teenage-hood. Watching them has led me to do some research. I was thrilled to learn that the ‘glasses case’ scene won awards and all those present whilst it was being filmed were in tears. Jean Alexander had to ask everyone if they were all right; she said she was ‘only acting’ 😊 She refused to reprise her role as she wasn’t happy with the amount of ‘sex and violence’ Corrie was including. A very private lady, her son confirmed; you’ll struggle to find any interviews with her. In the 2000s (I’ve forgotten the year, sorry) Hilda was voted the most popular soap character _ever_ by the British Public. Very well deserved. 😊 Thank you again 🥰 Edited to say that at 46:20 I started to get a lump in my throat as soon as Billy was kind to Hilda…🥺

I never seen any of these old episodes and started at yr 76 and for the first year or so of them I called Hilda curlers cause I cdn't remember her name,(was just learning who the old characters were),but I cdnt stand how nosy she was and didn't like her at all. Then she became one of my absolute favorites, Hilda,Stan,Eddie,Elsie,Bet, and Mike Baldwin r all so great. I also loved Bert, he was so calm and chill in a household of chaos. Hilda has me in tears, brilliant acting and I wish I cd give her a hug and buy her a port. I can't believe someone didn't drag Vera out of the pub the second she started walking towards Jack after the funeral smh she is always so disrespectful and loud, and mean to Hilda aka curlers... I haven't watched a single current episode since I found these gems, apart from it being a completely different show, they r in the Rovers hardly at all. Thank you so much professionalgun66 for introducing me to these wonderful characters and keeping my mind occupied. ❤️❤️❤️

It's really quite remarkable, to see how much things have changed. It doesn't seem all that long ago, 38 years isn't really a massive amount of time, yet this is something of another world. Sometimes its just little things, but they all add up. The first thing which struck me was the wooden cash drawer in the Kabin. Like I say, only little things, small details, but they collectively make a big difference. But bigger than that, just the very nature of people. They behave much differently than people do today. Mannerisms, attitudes, society is so different now. Modern times are not all bad, but it's actually somewhat heartbreaking to look into the past and be reminded of old ways of life which will never return.

Again the writers showed how in touch they were with the viewers and the characters with the usual touch of irony. Once we know Stan has died the Rovers Return shuts down, Jack Duckworth gives Stan's name to the police as his identity, he ends up doing Stan's window round.

And what a character he became….

1984 really just the start of when Coronation Street started to decline. Perhaps Bernard Youens' (Stan Ogden's) death was symbolic. Just a few months later, Eastenders was launched and took millions of viewers from Coronation Street. The writers of Eastenders felt that Coronation Street had got out of touch with modern Britain - outdated and nostalgic, rather than reflecting the very gritty, challenging place that Britain was in the 1980s. They felt that Coronation Street was playing to its older viewers who wanted to look back to the past, at the expense of youngers viewers who felt it was outdated. The writers of Eastenders specifically tried to create characters which reflected a wide range of people in 1980s Britain, which included a black family, an Asian couple, a gay couple, a violent racist thug, and the upwardly mobile more 'yuppy' types. Eastenders started to get higher viewing figures than Coronation Street throughout the rest of the 1980s.

The actress lived a quiet life in Southport. Interests were gardening, reading and her cats. Not scandal over the Sunday papers every other week. I have no doubt Granada paid her a fortune..and probably more when she decided to quit. And she deserved every penny..and then some.

I didn't like how the writers portrayed Bet chasing that no good Tony fella. She's never chased a man and this wasn't right for her character. Bet would have vwrablly torn strips off thet jumped up poor excuse of a police sergeant. I'm glad Bet put Rita in her place though. Instead of asking Bet direct about Tony, she was sly and askng others behind Bet's back. Talk about a man eater and a sly back stabber at that. Who needs enemies with a friend like that.

Jean was a great character as was Mavis who let expressions more than lines do the job.

When you think back to the licensing laws how totally ridiculous they were.

For those not keeping track. Using Stan's name, was Jack's 9th cock-up since he's been in the street. He thought he was being clever, as usual.

GPs should never have been allowed to stop making home visits. We who pay their large salaries have allowed them to make rules that entirely suit their own interests.

I didn't know she had one - or don't remember because I was only a kid.

Say what you like about Rita, but I think she did her due diligence before she went out with Tony. Bet jumped the gun again thinking things were more serious than they were 😊😊😊❤

The way they all dominate Hilda when she's ill ... as if she's not downtrodden enough the rest of the time.

Echoing the comments here: Jean Alexander rose to the occasion and gave a terrific performance as Hilda - who is left with the realization her Stan is gone forever and she is now alone. However, the truth is that Stan was not the "loveable layabout" he is often made out to be. The man was a failure as both a husband and father. He spent the duration of their marriage boozing and most of it out of work. He had no interest in wanting to improve himself and honestly became more and more of a burden as the years wore on. He died without a penny to his name and left his wife to struggle on with no support. He didn't deserve Hilda's love and devotion. He wasn't worthy of it.

I think Stan had mental health and alcohol problems. In today's society, this may well have been recognise, and he may have been offered help.

Agreed. The only time I ever saw him give her any love was when her brother died. He'd steal from his own wife who worked herself to exhustion ~ such a low act to someone who was devoted to him.

IMO the 80s was the worst time for hair, makeup and clothes. There were some nice jumpers, but, especially from the mid 80s, most of the stuff was worthy of a call to the fashion police.
