Thank you for uploading the January 1998 Coronation Street episodes Eve Henley Spread.

Feel sad watching these earlier episodes, Anne Kirkbride was stood in front of me in the taxi cue outside the Hare and Hounds back the early 80s in Oldham on a Saturday night RIP ❤️

The Deirdre-John Lindsay storyline was absolute gold. Brilliant gripping viewing

It's really sad to see Alf looking so unwell.

Katy would've been so much better with the Malletts, that poor baby never stood a chance.😢 Honestly I don't know how social services weren't called.

Audrey to Alf..." you've stopped those grubby little carrot munchers from being arrested"...I cracked up laughing

Ashley wake up she dosent love you

Great seeing Maude and Fred get on for a change

What a fantastic month for Corrie, in fact I would class the first half of 1998 the end of "classic" Corrie, with late 1998 and 1999 the beginning of "modern" Corrie. January marks the Jon Lindsay saga coming to a gripping end. At 3:09:26 when Deirdre says, "I said I didn't want legal representation...I've just changed my mind". Wow, what a line and delivered perfectly. Love these episodes, thank you.

Sad to think that there's women out there who have been taken for a ride much like Deirdre. How utterly devastating that must be when the realisation hits home.

I must admit, Ashley's soppy obsession with the surly and ungrateful Zoe was as nauseating as Judy Mallett's fanatical obsession with the baby. If ever there was an ill-matched couple it was Ashley and Zoe. Why couldn't he see she was using him? As I see it, Zoe had no 'lovable' qualities at all, she was bolshy and manipulative 99% of the time, yet Ashley seemed in a daze about her. I was definitely on Maxine's side, she was right to ditch him while he was being so mawkish and pathetic, but then, had she stuck around, maybe Zoe wouldn't have got her claws into him. Pity she didn't target Nick Tilsley instead, and ended up at war with Gail instead of Leanne.

3:23:49 there’s no way on Earth a solicitor would discuss somebody else’s case in the pub in the way this Frankie does with Baldwin here.

So many twists and turns with the Deirdre & Jon saga, the most gripping storyline since Alan Bradley I think. Liz was such a compassionate friend to distraught humiliated Deirdre. I remember Deirdre not wanting to get caught up in Liz’s involvement with the gangster guy Fraser in ‘97 though!

Poor Bryan looks so ill here.

This Dez/Samantha storyline doesn't ring true to me. I've never seen a man that eager to get married and certainly not Des.

Oh my god thank you star ⭐️ you are 💕😍

I dont know if this storyline ever came up but to me, the scriptwriters lost a gem of a story. Bringing back Lynda Baron as Mrs Turnbull the rich widow of buxon proportions ( the big & bonny lady who chased jack round the bedroom) full of fun & frolicks & meeting Fred Elliott in the Rovers! My goodness the thought of those two chasing each other around, laughing, guffawing, eating sublime food, feeding each other toffee covered grapes.. Lynda would have been the female Fred Elliott! Their storylines would have been hilarious! What a shame this idea never Materialised... or did it? Or did this Brian Park - producer find this kind of story line too full of fun & smiles & feel good Factor. He seems to favour fast paced drama like a rollercoaster, thick Fast & heavy, no quaint love lines Ah well! I think a Fred/Mrs Turnbull would have been a fantastic addition to Corrie regulars! Thanks EHS 🇬🇧👧

Curly says he played on the red rec every day as a kid. I thought he came from Crewe?

Nick is such a pretty boy and so in love with himself. Misery guts Gail is turning into a hysterical hampster!

So Vera can't get down the stairs because she's scared of heights. Yet she can climb down from a bedroom window that's higher up.

If took a pair of scissors to Dreary's haircut, while wearing a blindfold, it would still be an improvement.

Poor Alf looks Terrible

The spider thing is boring me

Janice... "A've rung the skoowull" 😄

That scene of Roy with a sneeze in the cafe.. If it was today, Audrey would be like hey I'm not getting your coronavirus!

I remember an interview with Georgia Taylor, Toyah, where she said Eileen Derbyshire had so much guts. Those Red Rec scenes must have been filmed about Nov/Dec time, probably very early in the morning, freezing, windy and rainy, and who knows how many takes would’ve been required, esp if it was foggy too. Even if they had heaters and constant hot drinks and were wearing thermals, the storyline must have been a daunting prospect for Eileen. I wonder if Betty or Barbara would’ve climbed up a tree!

Audrey is such a nosey Rosie and Gail is following in her foot steps

Women are not allowed to play a didgeridoo! From Australia.

2:10:10 wow. did they slap a wig on that baby?

I like the Ashley character, even though he sounds like hes just been sucking on a Helium balloon However it iritates me when he pronounces hospital as hospickle & little as lickle. Kettle as Keckle Metal as Meckle Digital as digickle So wierd! Cheers 🇬🇧👧

From 00:00 to 23:24 Episode 4327 of Coronation Street dated Friday January 2nd 1998. The purpose of this information is to let other viewers know which Corrie episode and when in January 1998 began and ended at certain times.

Since Deirdres arrest & the questions & objections from the police it also makes me ask the same question, which is WHAT did Deirdres conman boyfriend Jon Lindsay get out of everything he did ?? If hed misappropriated the credit card given to Deirdre or collected The stuff she bought on the credit card, id understand But he'd gone to a great deal of trouble & planning & extreme cunning & cleverness, to set everything up but not to explain what HE would get out of it! Im thinking it was was for the sheer pleasure of looking, to Deirdre, & all her friends as Mr Big Shot! Everyone envying Her & his luxurious home, beautiful furnishings etc Ok if he had mental health problems, it may tally! But it just seems off to have performed such complicated juggling of finances & fraud for .... what exactly? Im thinking the same as the police are thinking, what would be the point of all mr lindsays planning? Ok he obtained Deirdres £5,000 Which he, explained to his wife, as a work bonus but.. despite all his elaborations hes settling for just £5,000 ? Its chicken feed Why didnt he set something up for himself before the real pilot Mr Jenkins tumbled to the fact his bank statements showed such discrepancies?? Im sure that pilot knew Jon Lindsey, knew he was looking after his house for 6 months Couldnt he have told the police about this & matching up with Deirdres statements?? Im still utterly puzzled by it all & how Deirdre ended up in jail The Fly n Tie shop assistant also knew Jon Lindsay, plus she could have placed Deirdre on New Years eve at the airport tie shop. Its a crap crap story line 🇬🇧👧 PS Deirdres solicitor is abit naff esp as 95% of Deirdres friends & others in Coronation street saw & witnessed Jon Lindsay courting Buying & giving Deirdre gifts & the house etc Plus ive noticed no one has brought up the reason WHY did lindsay do it! Not even Ken, they never once look at the whole business & ask the reason for lindsay setting everything up & what was his angle! This is whats got me puzzled! Its the obvious question There are so many witnesses to jon lindsays existance ( hes even in the local gazette with his photo & name, when Deirdre is presenting a travel prize at Sunliners travel shop! There are lots of clues & the police only need to question all the people who met Lindsay & were at the house warming party Why didnt the script writers consult some real life fraudsters & their deeds & produce a credible senario?? Cheers Again 🇬🇧👧

Thanks Eve for all your hard work, 1998 was a good year for Corrie along with 1999. Although, I'm skipping through the Nicky Platt scenes as Adam Ricketts acting is wooden!!!

From 23:25 to 46:18 Episode 4328 of Coronation Street dated Saturday January 3rd 1998. The purpose of this information is to let other viewers know which Corrie episode and when in January 1998 began and ended at certain times.

I forgot quite how effeminate Nick Tilsley was.

Always winter, never Christmas with Deidre.

The amount of hair Shannon/Katy has is wild - looks like a wig

It's very unbelievable that Toyah could have a complete personality change in a short amount of time she has been on the street. Sarcastic, aggressive, rude and bullying to 'please Gail, can I go with Emily please' 🙄🙄

Ugh fn ken Barlow, aka BogFace and his nosey, self righteous, holyer than thou attitude makes me sick. He can have his affairs, b an escort,do all sorts but brings his moral hammer down on everyone else. Smh. If I was Deidre I wdve rather gone to a hostel than stop with him smh,in her house, which I still don't know if she ever got more than the original 15grand for from Baldwin before she left with Samir.

The stairs were the other way around when Annie Walker had it, so the wood wouldnt have wood rot

From 1:08:37 to 1:31:52 Episode 4330 of Coronation Street dated Wednesday January 7th 1998. The purpose of this information is to let other viewers know which Corrie episode and when in January 1998 began and ended at certain times.

Spider has only come in and hes taking over

Spider is so good. A young person with genuine intentions and full of moral fibre. So rare. A great companion for the character of Emily who shares many of his characteristics.

Spider cannot act. In fact, his efforts are cringeworthy.

That job was all Deirdre had to provide for Tracy. Deirdre doesn't care about the money but knowing that Tracy will have security when she has children of her own. A some kind of legacy that Deirdre would leave behind for Tracy and Amy when she's gone/dead.

Gail has about as much love for Leanne Battersby as Claire Scott did for Pogo Patterson in Grange Hill.

Vera and Jack 😂😘

The scriptwriters missed an opportunity - it would have been a perfect time for the ghost of Ivy to turn up in Leeann's bedroom, call her a trollop and warn her away from her precious grandson Nicky, or else....

John all you do is lie lie lie and more lies! Stay clear Deirdre because he is only going to hurt 😢 you!

Kirkcudbright pronounced 'Kir-coo-bree' one of Scotland's many place names that is spelt differently from the pronunciation.

Woe classics are brilliant more like day to day things instead of constant murder and violence. Its cheap writing these days. The older episodes are the best.

No ones questioned about Jenkins house, the one he still lives in that was shown to Deidre, supposed to be Jons

Ashley is being a right plonker.

OMG 😆 😂what’s that on Gary’s head it looks ridiculous!

The whole thing with Deirdre was rehashed with Sally more recently felt like free the weatherfield one all over again 🤣

We never see Percy Sugdon Now , yet he lives in the same block of flats as Maud Grimes , has he turned his back on his Friends on the Street

I remember watching this back in 97 and felt sorry for Dierdre, now I feel like she deserves to go to jail after believing such a twat 😂 it's weird what age does to you and your thoughts lol

After all these years of Deidre breaking down crying.. For a 100 times, I had a laugh.... Her deep smokey voice, ruined by smoking heavily. And eventually killing her... I am sorry for her....

It's a wonder that Audrey did not say to Emily during Audrey's heavy lecture to her between 2:22:57 and 2:23:55 "What would Annie Walker say if she could see you now?" Because Annie Walker was still in Coronation Street for 4 years and 5 months after Audrey's first appearance in Coronation Street.

Zoey's baby isn't even a year old yet has as much hair as a 3-year old toddler

If only Drearys friends knew she couldn't wait to move to London to get away from the bunch of gossips,nosy parkers,and troublemakers she considered them to be!

Fred to Ashley....do you think folk like being served by a young man with a face as long as an undertakers overcoat...... can I laugh any harder

Between 3:19:28 and 3:19:31 Maxine was out of order giving cheek to a man 36 years older than herself. People's elders more than 20 years are entitled to a certain amount of respect whoever the person is and what he might be like. Maxine should have been more polite and said to Fred; "I have no intention of going back with Ashley whatever the circumstances may be.

Zoe is a bad mum she doesn't deserve her baby Shannon

Zoe took £2000 off the Mallets for her baby, she is living for free with Ashley, she has money for fags nappys etc so please can someone tell me why she has worn the same blue top while and since she was pregnant?

I used to love Corrie, but 98 is when I stopped watching it, all the arguments and silly story lines, got on my nerves, and as for the Audrey Roberts character!not watched any of Corrie since early 98

Nicky Platt such a sweetheart and so good looking for the younger fans .❤️

Surely Alec, Jack and Vera have deeds they can refer to

That dear baby has been chesty nasal congestion since she was born. 😢

Ken Shameful doesn't believe Deirdre

Why does Jim call Gilroy "Sandy?"

I want to get a huge bat and whack that policeman who was interrogating Deirdre ride on his head. He seemed like a total prick, they casted him well lol XD Omg, also is that the actress who played the lady's maid Anna in Downton Abbey. Didn't know she was a child actress, good performance here as well. Although in Downton, anyone with a Northern accent is immediately a member of the downstairs cast XD

Vera jumping into the tarp...hilarious....Martins in the bar incase anything goes wrong...lol

5:33:25 insensitive remark Deirdre makes about throwing herself under a bus, when you think that's how Ken's mother got killed in 1961

Warning! Watch the whole month BEFORE reading the comments! Because some wise people saw it their obligation to tell readers exactly what happens! 😮😅

2:28:14 Susan Cookson now in Emmerdale as Wendy Posner

Mike Baldwin = hero (again) and Ken is cool too

Comedy gold all of it😂

Martin’s pronunciation of Kirkcudbright is way off. I left Scotland in 1974 but still know how to say it properly…

That will mean that Spider NEUGENT was born in January 1972.

Between 1:35:55 and 1:36:20 Emily is being more like Spider's mother rather than his auntie. Come to think of it Emily has been that way to Spider Neugent ever since 1998 began.

Helen Worth, the chinless one, looks more and more like Derek Jacobi as she ages…

3:53:14 Vegan Spider takes milk in his tea…

What on earth does audraaaas hair look like

The staircase storyline was hilarious. Imagine anything like that nowadays. They wouldn’t be able to resist somebody dying.

A modern day scam artist and stupid police 🤷🏻‍♀️

How did Deidre know to tell ken that she had lost her job, before Newbald and told her?

Please stop making Diedre "cry talk."

Ashley and Zoe is a terrible storyline and we still have the cult part of it to get through yet. Thankfully we can skip whatever we want in these videos.

Don't you love Gail going apeshit over Martin and Leanne's trip to Scotland.😂😂😂😂😂

Where did Gary get the hat😂

This red rek is just dragging on too long sick of it this is not like corrie

I thought oakhill was supposed to be posh?

Janice's money that's she earns at the factory goes a long way doesn't it

Gordon Bennett I thought Mike Baldwin was bad. Between 3:56:49 and 3:57:45 Fred Elliott has proved that he can be worse than Mike with this bully-boy tactics.

Alf Roberts was a good man and he was fair. What a shame he had to come out of it. I know Bryan Mosely was is poor health, but couldn't they have found another actor to take on the role of Alf Roberts where Bryan Mosely left off.

Deidre didnt get the mortgage, her name is nowhere on it

Why does Emily say nevew instead of nephew

How on earth did emily get up that tree😂

Audrey was vile to Hayley
