Re: coronation street girls

I see Polly James sometimes, she is a friend of Julia Foster, who's now an antique dealer (she was in Half a Sixpence amongst other things, and she married Lionel from the Four Pennies, didn't last). I see Julia, usually at antique fairs, and we always have a chat about Blackburn and Accy (she had a shop in Blackburn for a while). Polly went to Paddock House (later than me), so we compare notes on the nuns.

Nah...I'm being unfair to you.....course I've heard of them, but never watch them.

If you think they are the right sort of characters for Accy Hall of Fame...you say so!

But are they world famous?
They have thousands of fans over here in Ontario Canada. Corrie is a "do not mess with soap that has been showinf here for about 30 years.

Does Church and Ossie really count as Accy born and bred though??

Re: coronation street girls

Corrie is the piece of Lancashire that we really enjoy here in Canada. Many times we are really laughing hard at an expression we have not heard in many years. The things you forget when not using is mind boggling. There are times that I just can't hear the Lancs accent in my mind. Then I get with my sister and we are zapped right back into being Accy lass's again. I have been here 38 years this May and my sister has been here 30 years. Time flys by especially as you get older.

Re: coronation street girls

LOL oh thos enames zap me back a few years. I disliked Swindley, wanted to throttle him. I can still see prim and proper Emily with her hair up in a French roll. I gained new respect for her when she spent the night in a tree in protest.

We are behind you guys with the episodes , we are having our stomachs curdled with Todd and Carl right now. In fact last night Todd told Eileen. More fun tonight !!

Re: coronation street girls

You're not that far behind,[about six months,] they leave all the gay politics & get a really funny gay character Sean who is more like the down to earth female characters of the past. Think a cross between Hilda & Raquel,[ voulez-vous couchez avec moi Ken?], with just a touch of the Minnie Caldwells!

Re: coronation street girls

Oh those balck and white Minni, Ena and ???? I can see her but no name is coming. She loved Sonny Jim. The Rovers trio.

Elsie Tanner what a character, rolling sleeves up to go bash some one that said something she din't like. Gail living with Elsie or has my son used to call Gail, "big hair gal". Lovely walk down memory lane.

Re: coronation street girls

What about the Corrie men? The street has had it's heroe's and villans over the years. When did we have the first villan? Was it when Ernie Bishop was shot or before that.

It is amazing how much goes on in one street and has been going on for what45 years?
