As others have remarked, it’s brilliant to see Eddie back for a couple of episodes this month. Apparently he was keen to act with Jean Alexander one last time as he knew was leaving. What a fantastic actor Geoffrey Hughes was.. he brought so much to role of Eddie Yeats.. and putting him with Stan & Hilda as their lodger was a stroke of genius!
I’m so glad it’s not just me, I never watched it much years ago due to raising a family and working, totally addicted now but blimey, she’s such a bad actress for one and what a spoiled nasty little girl she played, just so ungrateful, I think she’s afraid to smile in case her face cracked
I can't believe eddie just walked in...i had to go have a right good cry! how the hell do we get so into these shows or is just me? never been so happy to see someone in forever lol damn i missed him and stan..the three of them together ❤thats coronation street at its best!
Agreed. Mike was no villain, Susan was an insufferable character who wanted to marry him and Ken was the villain in this with his spiteful vengeful agenda against him.
@@stormhawk3319 Mike was a great character, but the writers made him a selfish and manipulative husband to Susan Barlow. She was insufferable, obviously, but he married a 21 year old woman and was talking about having kids immediately. He wasn't supportive of her working, he even sacked her! And when she did get pregnant, he drives her to the middle of nowhere and tells her that's going to be their new home, and what a wonderful life his children will have there, and how he'll need plenty of boys. She's a couple of months pregnant and it sounds like he's got another four or five pregnancies planned for her. Virtually any woman would walk away from that.
@@shylinh5939Maybe women of 2023 wouldn't like it. Women of 1987 would have loved to be loved and provided for by a man like Mike. Men were men and women were women.
What's going on with Ivy's hair? And I think they brought Vera's mum into be another Hilda as she starts cleaning the pub. Big mistake, you cannot replace a legend.
Susan has issues. She is acting like having a baby is a death sentence She is so selfish and childish, she shouldn’t have gotten married. She should have gotten herself a cat and lots of boxed wine so she could enjoy her empowerment alone
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, with Stan dead, Hilda belongs with Eddie! That character deserved to be put out to pasture with the people she looked at as family, not with Dr. Lowther. I don't get why the scriptwriters chose that end for her, I really don't. For Hilda to leave her home, surely she would only realistically have done so for a really special reason, ie being welcomed into the Yates house as an honorary grandma for Dawn.
I agree, or another nice ending for Hilda would have been for her to have ended up marrying Tom Hopwood and going to live in his bungalow with him. It would have made more sense than Dr. Lowther proposing, just wouldn't have happened in real life
On-screen, Hilda departed for Hartington, Derbyshire, to make a new life for herself as the housekeeper for Doctor Lowther. 27 million viewers watched. It remains the highest-rated episode in Coronation Street's history. It has been described as the most moving scene in Coronation Street that did not involve a death.
Mike Baldwin and Deidra Barlow should have been together. They had a loving and friendly relationship. Ken Should have been a bachelor. Himself is all he cares about.
I always believed that Mike really loved Dierdre. He probably would have ruined it in the longrun if she had left Ken for him, as he can't seem to deal well with the women in his life, but I would have liked to have seen them give it a go. Ken is like a robot in a wig.
@@bsaunders5271 I think Mike said it once. I think to Emily, in the Rovers.He said ' Deirdre was made for me but I don't think I was right for her' Emily said that that was probably very true.
Poor Mike :-( but so glad top be rid of Susan as she was a right wee whinny madam who behaved like a child. The whole storyline with them both was tedious.
Mike is terrible with women though, he can't keep one to save his life. He's too overbearing, and uninterested in their opinions or requirements. In Susan he chose a right cold fish.
Vera really should get done for domestic abuse, she is forever smacking Jack, poor sod. Now if it was the other way about it would be a whole different story.
@@Rachel-ub3nw yeah... You are probably right there. I perhaps thinking more now rather than then. I suffered at the hands of domestic abuse so sadly I know the story well.
@@kuchikopi4631 He improves because it's written in the script. There's no excuse for domestic abuse and no-one 'deserves' it. If you don't like someone then leave them. You absolute fool.
The noises Mavis makes when she is dithering and wittering drive me totally nuts. I can't believe she was never afforded a dry slap during one of her panicking episodes.
Haha you are so right...on the other hand you have to give her her dues as an actress, I mean she must be one of the few, when after the director said "cut" who stopped acting while many others hardly would have altered. I think to make it through one of the many Mavis fluttering fits of nervous convulsions is to remind one's self she is acting, which is hard to do while shouting at her from the settee.
i think she's perhaps the best actress on the show. to portray this emotionally fragile woman, always seemingly on the edge of a nervous breakdown, certainly takes some acting ability. equally, she acts as the touchstone for other people's emotional chaos.
Of course Mike didn’t mean to sack Hilda or throw Alan out- he was just angry about what Susan had done ( understandably). And Alan unwittingly saying at least there were no kids involved ( as there had been- Jenny-with him and his first wife) just made it worse.
Yep, though her character was more an old boiler than a girl, implausibly finding Butler irresistible. Incidentally, the actress playing Vera's mum can't do a northern accent to save her life. It's awful.
Eddie left Corrie I read that he didn't think Eddie would have got married and he felt it wasn't true to the character. He was a big plus for Corrie!!!
I wouldnt mind a rich husband who bought a lovely house in the country, theyd also have at least a maid/cook and babysitters or a fulltime nanny.... he could afford it... and id ask for a jaguar of my own too 😊 Plus Mike is a softie at heart
Wow Snuffing out a baby because you are too focused on yourself and you don’t want anything to get in the way of your total self focused happiness?!?! Wow. That is sick
Actually, Hilda, you could still have a job with Mike. He’s obviously not broadcasting it yet- but the move to near Glossop that him and Susan were planning is definitely out of the question…
1p0% fathers to this day have little rights but people seem to forget that withouy the male "spark" it's not going to jappen anyway. Bout time Dad's got a voice. Corrie was way ahead of its time in that regatd.
I’m very pro choice but what Susan did to Mike is disgusting. If she felt so strongly, she should’ve maintained that position instead of agreeing to try for a baby a few months ago. Poor Mike 😢
Unpopular opinion - I don’t think Granada did much to help Wendy Jane Walker. She’s actually not that bad an actress (look at her compared to Brian, Kevin, Alan, Jenny) and she was so very young at the time (about 21) where she was largely working with older actors. There’s rumours she and Johnny Briggs didn’t get on and everyone seems to blame her. Couldn’t he have been the difficult one? We’ve seen how young people (women & men) are effectively abused, bullied and harassed in this industry so imagine what it was like in 1985 when she came back on the show. I imagine she was treated quite poorly. I also think it was rotten of the much older Bill Podmore to criticise her casting. No wonder she left the business. Ask yourself this - at 21 in an industry full of sexism, bullying and being paired up with established older men to act love scenes with - how would you have come off in 1985 as someone who was really just a kid. Perhaps she stood up to them? Perhaps it gave her mental health issues? I don’t think it’s a coincidence she never acted again. Wendy now lives a very happy, quiet life in Cornwall with her family. I’m Pleased to hear it. I can’t believe she was so bad she became the unpopular figure she seems to be. But it seems the producers wanted to write little comments about a character they named Wendy in to the script and had Susan abort her baby behind the father (a popular character’s) back. They knew in 1987 that the audience would largely dislike Susan for that. I feel like they did it on purpose to further demonise Wendy.
yes she was a good enough actress to have had a decent career - The Corrie script did her no favour an as you say conpared to the vile Jenny she was way way above in her acting
Ive always hated Bet Lynch but when she bothered to go see Hilda changed my mind. These great actresses were so under-appreciated. Jean more than Julie, was the only true actress.
I dunno..derek trying to squeeze into mavis's bed and seeing hilda like this and mavis flying around hoping to lose her virginity lol I'm sitting here laughing and crying like a crazy person 😮 lol
It was VERY badly written. They could have done so much more but the scriptwriters back then werent hugely untalented. Red wine on a Friday "writers lunch" 🙄
Interesting that they had a character called Wendy in the last episode of Wendy Jane Walker. And wrote a line into it "not very well brought up, is she - WENDY!" Too much to be a coincidence. It seems the actress wasn't very well liked
Bet has always supported Hilda, when she needed it. Look at the concern and support she's giving her now. Meanwhile, all Hilda has done, lately, is run around behind Bet's back, putting the poison and boot in, everytime Bet has any problems.
Even if they didn’t interact much previously I’d have thought Vera knew Eddie well enough to have a brief catch up chat rather than just a quick token hiya. I know he was sat with Kev, Sally and Curly so maybe she didn’t want to intrude but that’s never stopped her before lol.

Eddie!!! One of my all time favourites. Eddie and Hilda together again. I absolutely loved Eddie.
Ohhh Eddie!!!!! I never expected to see him! Him and Hilda having a little laugh together made my day. I just love him.
I felt like crying seeing Eddie again. Hilda, Stan and Eddie were a great act and Corrie was never the same after all three were gone.
Absolutely
totally agree
Agree.had a little weep.
100% right ❤
Loved Eddie Yates ❤ He had the same chuckle as Hilda
must be a Liverpool chuckle they have lol
I can't stand him!
Eddie and Hilda together are just the best!

Thank goodness Susan is on her way out of the show. Mike was silly for marrying her in the first place.
She is the most boring flat personality. Don't know what he saw in her! But he genuinely cares about her.

Shame on story she had to portray killing a life instead if having the baby and getting a nanny then getting on with her career!!!
Yeah but we couldn't tell him. But what she did to him ~ killing his child ~ was just afwful. 😡

Indeed they did. Corroe producers made a huge mistake not raising his ay and exiting him.
Percy knows how to throw a grenade and run. 🤣
Seeing Vera’s mother it’s no wonder she is a maniac !
Fanny Crabbie - she was in a lot of British films
She doesn't look anywhere near the agr she SHOULD be. 🙄
Derek is such a horrible man! Made a right monkey out of Mavis many a time! Wish Jerry never died, he was the best man Mavis ever had
I think the same but interesting Thelma quit because of them writing him out. You can tell the actors that had secure mortgages.....
Vera's mum could pass for Ken Dodd's sister
