Whats the Point of Cornoation Streets Two Shops?

Emily Bishop’s husband getting killed during a wages heist at the factory was the most dramatic thing I remember, or Rene Roberts getting killed in a car crash. Ray Langton and Len Fairclough having affairs, Ken Barlow and Wendy Crozier and Deidre and Mike Baldwin. Wasn’t contrived, quite the opposite I would say.

I used to have a fierce horn for Tracey Barlow. Filthy minx

I remember her first episode.

Audrey Roberts must have dated at least five wrong uns - serial killers, conmen and adulterers

I remember some lad getting hit by a train escaping from police in the 80s. Think he was involved romantically with Rita.

Is Dev dead yet?

Some of the lads in college were big into home and away. Fucking knobs. Theyd miss lectures to watch it in the morning

Coronation Street in the days of Hilda and Stan Ogden, Jack Duckworth, Curly Watts and Reg Holdswortb was as much a comedy show as a soap opera.

Fred had a way about him that led you to believe he ran a shop the right way.
