I agree and the art of conversation was alive and well as you didn't know who was calling. Yes there were answer machines but still, 6ou picked the phone up.
Mike and the Lowthers were the ones with money and status yet they treated Hilda better than the rest. Bets 'Annie Walker' voice is grating on me greatly. Please tell me she drops it very very soon before I go right off her!? Good idea Ken, that jumper is bound to put off the opposition!
Hilda deserved to be treated well, glad that at least 3 ppl did. I also don’t like how they take the pi$$ out of Mavis. Yes she’s different, but who cares, she wouldn’t hurt you for all the tea in China
Stan wouldn't have appreciate it, he would've beer and fagged it to death. But I think at heart, he wanted better for Hilda despite his shenanigans. As I said before, every teadrop was champagne to her.
Oh, here we go again. The last time she wanted a new house Gayle whined, moaned, and stomped her feet like a 2 year old. Now she wants another house and Brian says no, so she just leaves because she isn’t getting what she wants! She needs to grow up!!
Not having a HOME, Gail, was YOUR IDEA!!! You insisted he sell the house and keep (and invest more in) the garage!! Now you are mad he is doing just that?! 🙄🙄🙄
Let's be honest, living with Ivy would grate on you after a year. They moved in to save cash and to be with Ivy during Bert's hospitalization. It was time for them to move 9n.
Harold Steptoe had aspirations to be better and want more than he had. He wasn't lazy like Jack, who was content to just cruise through life milking off others.
No, Harry H Corbett could act, Duckegg Tarmey did all his acting through his shoulders..just watch him, another Extra that got promoted to a speaking part..Like Fred Gee, a dreadful actor.
It is ridiculous, however I don't think she considered how long it would be for, and in all fairness she heard, " this isn't your house" or "this is my house" from ivy, like 4x in one week...that wd make anyone want to beat feet
And throwing her marriage after 5 days. She would put the child in a bedsit rather then sort her marriage out!! Such a manipulator of Brian and cutting her nose off to spite her face..
Gail Tilsley is acting like a spoilt child! I have found through experience when I haven't got things I wanted it was a blessing as what I wanted wasn't what was right for me!
She definitely is for sure.. BUT she's another one the writers have completely changed the character of (someone mentioned in the comments about Terry Duckworth turning evil later on). When Phyllis first came into it she was a right prudish old battleaxe, now that her grandson has emigrated she's turned into an old sex-mad vamp chasing misery guts Percy! Slightly implausible!
Your job doesn't mean you are more intelligent than the person who does a job that pays the bills and puts food on the table, knowledge comes from everyday life.
Chris Quentin can't act.ovwr Xmas I was binge watching Doctors, yep I was bored! He was in an episode, and he played a character who also cheated on his wife just like Brian Tilsey. Type cast but at least he was in good company. None of the actors in it can act except for Christopher Timothy.
There back in it as of 2019 present mind you there playing different characters. But yea I agree they where boring Connie was a good actress just boring
Oh aye, did you notice, Nicky is not over his chickenpox for 5 minutes and Gail's found something else she can go to the garage and mither him with. She has to have a house, now. When she scarpered, Brian should've gone straight out and filed for divorce.
I can see both sides with Brian and Gail. She wanted to sell the house to prop up the business. But her argument is deeper than that. He dictates and disregards anything she says instead of working as a team and talking rationally together and compromising. He just yells, then she starts yelling and nobody wins nor even Nicky
Once upon a time I used to have keys for the mansion of a very wealthy friend while she trotted off to her holiday home several times a year , when the snooping is all done and the place becomes familiar, it is a relief to go home , Hilda was playing a blinder but I guess she was glad to go home to her cobbled St 2 up 2 down and her beloved Stan.
Good seeing Brian and Kevin with greasy hands in the garage, now on the show the mechanics wear blue surgical gloves smh. My dad was a mechanic and ur hands get fn dirty, but u can't do that kind of work properly in gloves
Betty Turpin always moaning about being lonely despite being surrounded by people all day in the pub 🙄 strange how none of the adults back then wanted to live on their own
Well she was a widow so I don't think that was her choice and having lodgers wasn't everyone's cup of tea. You can be surrounded by people and still be lonely for a loved one.
I thought Stan Ogden was stuck in the Victorian times expecting his tea on the table when he comes in from work, but Brian's in the same league, by the way I'm a man.
It comes from times when the man went to work and the woman's work was running the house. A situation abused by many, but not that unusual. Well done for declaring your gender by the way, you sound like an alphabet person.
3.07.53 Remembering the scene where people heard about Dawn Yates ( Eddie and Marion’s daughter) being born and all went ‘Aaa..’ I was waiting for Betty to turn to Harry, Jack and Wilf and go ‘Did you hear-Brian and Gail are back together!’ and for them to go ‘Aaaa...’
It's not often you can say this but this time I do feel sorry for Ivy. Sh'es the voice of reason, stuck in the middle of those two brats and the only one trying to keep their marriage together.
Hilda “ Now you just go off and ‘ave a good time, and don’t worry about anything here.” Joan Lowther “ “I will. Thanks to you, Mrs Ogden.” I assume she meant she’d have a good time...
That story with Gail is twisted. She's the one that wanted to sell their house to save the business. Then she decides she wants a house again and Brian can start looking after Nicky cause she's gone out to work!
Gail, could have got taxi, bus or train to her mothers to avoid putting Kevin in awkward situation. Could have asked her mother to babysit. Terry Duckworth could have broken into Hilda's place. He knew she was going away and probably where she kept her cash, from when he briefly lodged there. Response to video only.
His parents were out cheating on each other, always arguing, Jack was hardly working, never bringing his money home and always working slick deals. Terry would have to cover Jack’s share of the bills. If he stayed with Hilda, he probably may have stayed nice, course he was an adult and made the choice to go rogue on his own.
A bit ridiculous to stay in the bedsit after they decided to make peace and plans..they couldve moved back in the interim although staying in the bedsit would help them with renting a council house, which they ended up in. Forward planning.
But since she married Brian she found out she hated being married and having Nicky so she forced herself into thinking she was trapped and believed highly in this which is the total opposite of having any critical thought, so she weaved herself into thinking everything she did was right when in reality it was not...she still wins in the end though. Brian "You are my wife!" Gail "Your wife!" She actually said that.
You can’t blame Gail for wanting a home. The stay at MIL has gone long enough. Every woman wants her home. Besides it gets thrown at her “it’s not your house”.
Both Brian and Ivy treated Gail like dirt. I never liked how women were written back then. Once married they are nothing but an apron-wearing, nagging mummy-wifey slave. How dare she have wants of her own.
Anything to do with the Tilsleys is dull as ditchwater.. you can tell Bill Podmore’s influence is wavering at this point as the humour has almost completely gone! A bit like in the present day Corrie!
Speaking with hindsight about how Terry turns out. Hilda’s been burgled-and Terry turns up with a lot of money...I wonder...and it had to be someone who knew she was away-otherwise they’d have tried the corner shop, the Claytons’, and probably other houses.
I don't think it was RTerry who burgled Hilda, I do think he respected her. He did know, as he spoke of it, how those burglars operated to make Hilda feel more at peace.
They went straight for her money tins for her bills and didn’t touch anything else. I always wondered cause Jack accused him of robbing the neighbors when he was eluding the police years later.
I miss those old phones when you could physically slam the receiver down!
Haha yes!
I agree and the art of conversation was alive and well as you didn't know who was calling. Yes there were answer machines but still, 6ou picked the phone up.
Lol
@@londonlady227I was scared of my answering machine as a little kid. The woman’s voice who said how many messages you have was really creepy! 🙈😂
The Brian "actor" was just playing himself - as thick as a brick.
I agree
He had the rugged good looks but that was all he had. He had no personality whatsoever.
It's a pity they changed Terry he was so lovely
Maybe if he stayed at Hilda’s he wouldn’t have changed.
Wilf looks like Leo Sayer!!
Electric cars being mentioned back in 1985!, it's nice to go back to childhood ❤
In 1985, electric cars had been around for at least 85 years.
Dr Lowther has a voice like rich velvet.
Mike and the Lowthers were the ones with money and status yet they treated Hilda better than the rest.

Good idea Ken, that jumper is bound to put off the opposition!
Hilda deserved to be treated well, glad that at least 3 ppl did.
I also don’t like how they take the pi$$ out of Mavis.
Yes she’s different, but who cares, she wouldn’t hurt you for all the tea in China
Some of the wives in this program are nags. Hilda is the best character. And great actress. 👍
I thought Hilda bought Nicky that fire engine, not Brian 🤔
Oh bless Hilda, staying in luxury. It wouldn't have suited Stan though. Too fancy for his tastes. But lovely for Hilda.
Stan wouldn't have appreciate it, he would've beer and fagged it to death. But I think at heart, he wanted better for Hilda despite his shenanigans.
As I said before, every teadrop was champagne to her.
She definitely deserved it.

Accountability, surely not … feelings, yes that’s better
Think the writers forgot what they wrote sometimes
@@nandsall9492 Why? Because she has her own mind, and won't let cave man R Brian fling her over his shoulder
30.10 “Hear that, Nicky? It’s not our house.” Now come on, Gail, you know that wasn’t what Ivy meant!
Gail is vile
@@nicolataylor6011 How can Brian stand that whiny voice?
Gail is acting like a spoilt child!
I could slap Gail round the face
That’s what you say when you want to justify acting stupid.
oh that Gail is too much .. Brian is the only husband that hasn't tried to kill her and she speaks to him like he's sh t ..
What a nice man doctor lowther was
I was trying to think who Stella Rigby reminded me of-the late Cilla Black!
She could easily be Cilla Blacks sister!
Its not her?I thought I heard it was her?
…and Martin in the cafe looks like a young Barry Manilow.
I think she looks a bit like Patricia Routledge
She's gorra Maggie Thatcher hairdo
Oh Dr. Lowther is lovely. What an absolute gentleman. Shows so much respect for Hilda 😊
Does the younger Jack ( with his cap and longer hair) remind anyone else of Harold Steptoe?
You got a point there
He does.
Harold Steptoe had aspirations to be better and want more than he had. He wasn't lazy like Jack, who was content to just cruise through life milking off others.
No, Harry H Corbett could act, Duckegg Tarmey did all his acting through his shoulders..just watch him, another Extra that got promoted to a speaking part..Like Fred Gee, a dreadful actor.
@@MatHopkins_1967 Amen to that 🎉
The Gail Brian plot is stupid. She encouraged the move to build the garage and suddenly she’s saying screw the garage? Silly beggars!
It is ridiculous, however I don't think she considered how long it would be for, and in all fairness she heard, " this isn't your house" or "this is my house" from ivy, like 4x in one week...that wd make anyone want to beat feet
Brian should have took nicky and divorced the vile little psychopath
And throwing her marriage after 5 days. She would put the child in a bedsit rather then sort her marriage out!! Such a manipulator of Brian and cutting her nose off to spite her face..
In Gail's defence could you live with poison ivy cos I know I couldn't
It wasn’t her house and Ivy was trying to feel comfortable there at that time. Gail was just a moody child.
I just love seeing Hilda surrounded by all the nice things she always wanted but never got. To the manor born.😊
Terry was lovely stupid to change his character
More storylines in being nasty.
dr lowther and hilda Ogden.my favorite actors.
Everytime Brian appeared my late Dad would say "Here he is..Old Woodentop" or "Here he is, Amateur Hour" shocking actor was Mr Quinten!
Gail Tilsley is acting like a spoilt child!

Brian tilsley is a horrible actor wooden would be the word and Gail is a shrew .
Best laugh is Chris Quentin thought he was going to have a big career in Hollywood when he left Corrie suffice to say it never happened
Just love the warmth and humor of these episodes, some laugh out loud moments, really miss that in the current episodes
I can see why the Clayton’s didn’t last...a very bland bunch.
If that's the rule then how come Ken Barlow has survived so long? He should have been killed of instead of Valerie!
The Clayton's were rubbish!
There back in it as of 2019 present mind you there playing different characters. But yea I agree they where boring Connie was a good actress just boring
The daughters were as bland as boiled cabbages.
To be fair, it's down to the lines the writers give them.

“If somebody asks me something suddenly I can’t seem to think!” Yes, that’s Mavis! Seems she can never think!
