She was terrified that one of them might have let slip that Mike Baldwin and Deirdre had an affair that nearly ended Deirdre and Ken’s marriage. Deirdre doesn’t want anyone to lose her moral high ground.
Gail's 'hard as nails' years. As little as I like the character, specially all those 'ickle girl' episodes of years gone by, I have to give Helen Worth her due. She's a great actress, and I've grown to appreciate her range. I'll always hate Gail's ways, though.
The main reason I stopped watching Coronation Street was because I was beyond irritated by stupid people making stupid decisions. Watching this now I think Deidre marked the beginning of the idiocy. Her decisions that led to her being held hostage at Xmas were insane enough. But it just goes on and on. And now, telling Tracy everything about the offer to buy the house, asking for her opinion, telling her that the boyfriend likes the idea - all totally crackpot parenting.
IVYS face was a picture when she was told Gail is pregnant again, She needs to accept that Gail as a new life with Martin and at the end of the day it as nothing to do with IVY
3:42:15 - oh we did see a little bit of steph topless as she got up and walked across the room didn't we? - it was hard to tell at the time and i spent decades wondering ever since!

Ken gets punched out and then kicked around by the women in his life and everyone else. First time I've felt sorry for him even though he did tell plenty of nasty lies (unforgivable ones too) It will be a fleeting moment most likely 😅
Amazing that ridiculous folk like Ivy exist. Imagine getting your bloomers in a nick over that!? I give a toss about very little in this extremely short time frame of my existence cos in the end it doesn't matter. My family, some friends and that's all I really worry about.
Ken is so narcissistic that he can’t commit to one woman. I’m not too sure about his first wife who died, but he became so inconsiderate of all the women he cheated with. I never agreed with Deidre cheating, but Ken always had to have his way and was so boring.
Hypocrite Gail's stance on abortion has changed drastically since 1986, when she was expecting Sarah Louise - whom she thought had been fathered by the Australian cousin. No, even though that child was the supposed result of a brief fling, she wouldn't consider abortion, even to save her marriage to Brian (who turned out to be the real father). Fast forward four years, and she's in a relatively stable relationship with caring and reliable Martin, and all of a sudden, abortion is the first thing she thinks of! How on earth Martin put up with her screeching selfishness for ten years, I'll never know.
It's got nothing to do with her stance on abortion, she wanted the second baby, she didn't want the third, especially under the circumstances after the death of Brian etc. You've really missed the point. Also, even if she did change her stance on abortion, so what? She's allowed to.
Of course, she is allowed to change her mind. But in 1986, during her second pregnancy when her marriage was on the line, her words were: "I can't get rid of it, I can't kill my own child, I can't, I won't", but by 1990, she could, quite willingly.
She's pregnant with David here. Yes, she keeps it. David finds out years later she was going to abort him which leads to a big fall out between the two of them.
When Ken was saying he was leaving, Wendy Crozier should have let out a big cheer.
Served her right, the gonk faced hussy.
Lol.
he is insufferable
Yeah but the rest of us were groaning, because it meant he’d be going straight back to Coronation Street like a boring smell.
I don't know...
It could've been a draw....tie
Ah yes the beginning of the era where Deirdre seemed to do nothing but answer the front door, lol.
With a hairdo that just got bigger and bigger!
@@frazzleface753 and more and even more brittle
Deirdre can't utter a sentence without mentioning Tracy; no wonder the child grew to establish her own distinctive (vile) personality ...

with a voice that's just given in to the test of smoking

Dierdre cracks me up with that perm her exaggerated face big eyes and crazy glasses she cracks me up. You can’t possibly take her seriously.
She's so OTT! But from Dawn Acton's recollections of her time as teenaged Tracy Barlow, Anne Kirkbride herself was full of fun and laughter, despite her serious, teeth gnashing storylines.
@Karuna Azul absolutely
Those perms were awful

My optician always called those big square glasses Deirdres.
Deirdre Anne Kirkbride became real-life partners with David Beckett and were married in 1992. Lovely to see them together in Coronation Street.
Was they married for a long time?

It is funny to see Steve and Tracy hanging out and now they are married.

Gail, Jenny Bradley & Tracy Barlow are the three most aggravating characters in Coronation Street!
I agree
Gail is so bloomin’ miserable
Thank you Eve from Australia 🇦🇺
The noises Martin and Gail make while kissing are only beaten in terms of grossness by the noises Martin makes while slurping his tea.
those noises are gail's eyelids opening and closing.

How funny is Phyllis!
i thought she was a man until i read that her voice had broke
At this point at least liz had her skirts at a decent length.
She was made to look tarty later on.
It’s always someone else’s fault when Gail gets pregnant, what a pain she is !
Yeah she is always miserable
This doesn't mean anything, she's not blaming anyone? She just doesn't want it.
It's simple, she should have been on the Pill.
She’s never heard of contraceptives 😮
And the most moodiest soap character award goes to Gail, the most serious eyes on getting bad news goes to Deidre
If I were Deidre I wouldn’t have taken his crap, I’d send her to Emily.
Rovers hallway got redecorated overnight without mention.
Many would love a husband like Martin. Theyre one in a million, husbands like him
He cheated on Gail twice
Bet looks so much better with her own hair than those horrible wigs.
Reg. was great comedy relief!
Jenny & roommates scenes 🥱🥱🥱🥱
I was expecting Gail to ask for a "second class return to Dottingham, please" when she approached that grille😂
Poor Martin, Gail was brutal at the train station, and then just leaving him there.
Vile woman. Dads have rights too! Women seem to forget they couldn't get pregnant without men. 😡
Alec and Reg where really funny
Mike Baldwin got out of the jean business just before everyone started wearing terrible jean jackets.
I can't believe the Dog and Bottle, a rough hole according to Betty, could be transformed into the massive pleasure temple we saw on screen.
The Rovers name change one of Corries most ridiculous storyline
Why did Deirdre have to track down Ken to get more details about his fight with Mike Baldwin? It was literally none of her business.
I agree with you it had nothing to do with Deirdre, And why should she be Bothered if her name was mentioned in the argument?,
She was terrified that one of them might have let slip that Mike Baldwin and Deirdre had an affair that nearly ended Deirdre and Ken’s marriage. Deirdre doesn’t want anyone to lose her moral high ground.

The fact she get everyone watching to hate her shows she is a good actress
She was brilliant over the years. Lately they’ve just turned her into a pantomime clown
I always felt Gail’s behavior was part of her growing up environment. 😢
Well yes, she is only acting🙄
Yes, brilliant actress. Just not liking the shouting dialogues
Flick is most unconvincing ... the character, and the actress.
She sucked the joy out of every scene she was in. If there was a game where you had to have a drink every time she smiled, you’d be sober as a judge.
Love then 🚂 old blue and white British Rail trains that Martin And Gail were riding on remember them trains
The couple of minutes from 2:03:27 are hilarious when Alec sheepishly tells Bet about the plan for “Yankees”!
God Steve looks so young! 🙂
He had hair in them days 😮
It’s just as well they don’t live in bungalows on Corrie otherwise they’d have nowhere to send the children when their presence wasn’t required 😂

Glad you like them Daisy, I’ll do more when I’ve time.. I’m still learning the ropes from the master PG!
Seeing Alec and Bet at the bar on the Quays, little did we know that the street would have been rebuilt a couple of minutes walk away 30 years later.!
Gasped when I saw the Confederate flag in the bar. It's literally synonymous with white supremacy.

He's always been a snob. 😂
he is really irritating me the man is insufferable
Don’t worry Martin.. Richard Hillman on the way!!
Gail isnt motherly, deidre isnt either
Now that weren't bad. The story of Deidre selling the house is obvious nonsense as is Jenny.
Most of what Jenny says is nonsense, especially when her dad is involved.
@@4evernate28 I thought we'd seen the last of shouty Jenny after her mad dad went.
