Maud was such an underrated character, the scene between herself and Jim was superb. Thank you Eve for uploading one of the last great years of Corrie.

I luv the way Fred speaks out loud,when he called out Toyota for Toyah,I nearly fell out my chair laughing..Thank you so much for all these old episodes.....At the moment way better story lines than current....

I like how Fred hollers into the faces of babies

Hayley and Roy, a match made in Heaven.❤ Both would be such loving and dependable friends to have.

This is the month when the soap built up two fantastic characters in Roy and Hayley.

Is ken Barlow going to live forever , The only member of the original cast from the First episode on the 9th of December 1960 , Now 2023 and he is still around after 63 years , the most boring character the street ever had , and plays the part extremely well , God bless ken

Roy and Hayley's blossoming friendship in Amsterdam was a joy to watch. Wish it could have lasted a day or two longer, and been a more established relationship by the time they returned home. Two apparent oddballs, out of step with most of the world, finding happiness and harmony in one another.

Im amased noone has clocked Audrey by now.

Oh it's Diggory, the cake man. It's sad to see Alf looking so ill

Roy and Hayley…two beautiful people who warm my heart

Audraaaa is one of the most horrible characters ever, along with Jenny and Alan Bradley, Samantha and Tanya.

Jack and Vera have the strongest marriage in Cornation street , they forgive each other for there failures , I was married for 39 years , sadly my wife passed away in 2014 , I remember she always forgave me for my failures , just like Jack and Vera

I love ❤️ Amsterdam a beautiful place to visit I’ve been once back in the late 80s and loved it I will return again one day!

Ive lived in many countries & travelled extensively but ive got to say, Amsterdam is about my favourite place! Ive lived there & visited many times & i still find it so cosmopolitan, fun, exciting & very friendly. I still have friends of long standing there & the Dutch people are brilliant! It was lovely seeing Haley & Roy sightseeing in my favourite city Thanks EHS 🇬🇧👧

It might sound soppy but I teared up with watching Roy and Hayley; they were the best couple on the cobbles bar none.

If Kevin is not being boring he is being crabby.

Rita's performance when she took ill from the carbon fumes was first class! I honestly felt ill myself just watching her! No wonder shes been such an amazing character & long lasting I used to relish her spats with Elsie & hubby Len! So sad for Toyah wanting to learn & being ignored by her parents & bloody Ken ! I used to conduct adult learning classes in various subjects & often had 15yr olds desparate to catch up on subjects or come to realise " playing the buffoon" hasnt helped them one bit But its mainly peer pressure & not wanting their trouble maker pals taking the micky! I found it very satisfying to help these older teens out & being there for them when no one else cared enough. Never judge a book by its cover Even the punkiest & rebel rousing kids can surprise you By their capacity to learn & do very well in life! Cheers EHS 🇬🇧👧

Good Grief. Audrey as a councillor. It's something out of a nightmare. Her whole campaign was an absolute farce. The woman is vanity personified. The photos she had took were very presentable. But oh no she goes for a photo from the 60s and 70s which looks absolutely ridiculous. Must admit I had a chuckle at 4:17:35 seeing her poster covered in graffitti. Though somehow it's hard to picture Audrey as a strict French Mistress haha. But either way her and Fred Elliott use devious tactics to win the election. Spider would have my vote for sure. Fred Elliott is an obnoxious loud mouth bully who gets what he wants by shouting above all others or bribing them with meat and money. Really couldn't stand him at all in his entire run of the show. The character is definitely one of my least favourites. The gas fire storyline with Rita was an issue that definitely needed to be raised. Carbon Monoxide poisoning was and is an all too common killer. But one that may not immediately think about when installing gas appliances in the home. Barbara Knox plays the symptons of CO poisoning very well and I felt so much sympathy for Rita. It also highlights the importance of installing gas appliances correctly. Personally I don't blame Alec gunning for Steve McDonald. He could have killed Rita. Hayley and Roy. This is one of my favourite storylines and one of the good things to emerge from the Brian Park era. The scenes in Amsterdam were absolutely beautiful. I also thought the time Roy spent helping Hayley clear out her dad's house was touching. Roy was always there for her and vice versa. Definitely one of the reasons 1998 was a better year for Corrie.

My husband, who has held my seat for a number of years 😆🤣

Thank you for uploading the Episodes of Coronation Street dated July 1998 EveHenleySpread

Alf first appeared in February 1961. It seems clear that the producers respected his wish to stay in the series as long as he could physically manage it, despite his obvious health condition.

Scraggy old tarts and slap heads. I love that. So funny. I'm using it!

That smile from roy to Haley 🥰 my heart melts 💚💚💚☕️

Audrey looks like an old punk rocker

Sally is a real strange duckling 🐥. Alway’s so moody. She dosen’t know what she wants.

How boring are the scenes with Fred spider emily and audraaaaa and her voice

Of course, the football tournament they were talking about was the 1998 World Cup, which France won against Brazil. Zidane scored two, Petit scored one. 3-0 Martin Platt was nearly right with his 2-0 Zidane prediction. Of course this was filmed months in advance with semi highlights slotted in.

I'm skipping all the Spider scenes. Every single one. And nothing's lost because of it, other than his terrible acting and a boring storyline. 😊

Jim McDonald sounds like a pirate whenever he tries to get out of his wheelchair 🤷

Little lad in the go chair , freaked out , when loudmouth Fred Elliot stairs into his face , when campaigning for know it all Audrey

France 98 was so much fun.

Flat-screen back in the 90's......lol, bless us, we had no idea what was to come.

I love you, Maude! ❤❤❤

Who would ever had thought Kevin and Sally Webster,s Marriage would end up in a mess , I remember when they lived with Hilda Ogden they where a very happy young couple

Roy and Jean were easily the greatest actors to ever appear in Coronation Street. Wonderful acting, the ability to be humorous or tragic with equal intensity, and with a truly magical and enchanting presence. No one else comes close.

At that time Rita was 62 years and 10 months old. As far as I know she is still alive today.

I haven't researched it in fine detail, but it could be that the actor who plays Curly got help for alcoholism last month, as I don't think I saw him in any episodes and I know he did address his drinking in 1998.

Anyone else find themselves skipping the ridiculous Jim and Liz scenes. Such an annoying boring storyline.

I had forgotten about the physiotherapist 😍

The thing with Nick just waltzing in and asking Mike for a job out of the blue, just because his father had been a mechanic, and then being told he was a natural mechanic is patently ridiculous.

From a previous comment about Greg Kelly . He is intending to make a move on Sally Webster , Just like Chris did . He is using Maximize

It seems Shola Ama and the Verve were getting a lot of airtime in 1998

Fred Elliott looks more like Winston Churchill than Alec Gilroy.

Between 1:00:27 and 1:00:31 Audrey has got a cheek calling Emily and Spider the poe-faced party seeing as Audrey has a daughter who is as poe-faced as they come plus Gail is 75 times more poe-faced than Coleen Powell who was called poe-faced in Prisoner: Cell Block H.

It's great to be able to skip through all the Sally/Greg Kelly stuff and poor Kevin suddenly at home being a good Dad but previously shouting his head off in every scene.

EVE,....................more smiles......!!! - thanks to you Again..... DUKES 1989.................With Thanks.................xx

Whenever Natalie talks something sarcastic comes out of her 😂

Maud was one tough bird ✊🌠 Great scene with her and Jim there shows what great actor's they are her And Charlie Lawson Corrie could only dream of a scene like that today Corrie in the last 10 or so years has become a pitiful Shadow of it's former self

Ken Barlow may be boring to Leanne, but I reckon he is the nicest person in the soap.

Rita's face telling Emily and Audrey off. I thought she was going to faint, what an actress.

Liz looks so much nicer with slacks on, instead of that lamp post look!

Greg Kelly looks like Luke Skywalker.

Alex Gilroy , reminds me of a garden knom

1:04:16 the mic is in the frame 😂

Curly Watts and Spider Nugent are friends now. At first they clashed until Emily Persuaded them to be friends. Emily had a little more success than Stella Price did ay getting Eva and Leanne to be friends when they clashed fourteen years later. However Leanne and Eva like Curly and Spider became friends in the end but it took Leanne and Eva long than it did for Curly and Spider to become friends.

Makes me laugh days go by and you don't see Jack and vera considering they are the land Lords where are they

I think it's more accurate to say that Early Modern Engish didn't have much normalization of spelling rather than to say that Shakespeare was a bad speller.

Today on September 30th 2023 Barbara Knox who plays Rita is 88 today.

Roy and Hayley in Amsterdam💜💜💜💜💜

Not plausible that Sally instructed Rosie and Sophie to go walk somewhere on their own and then shut the door. Rosie's not ready for that responsibility yet and Sally wouldn't give it to her either.

Audrey is fairly attractive, but not as beautiful as Caroline in Sons and Daughters or Maria in this soap.

Max is so man hungry for all the wrong men So Sad😢

🤮Liz and Jim make me sick lol

Most ridiculous line ever: Doctor when he takes Sally and Alec to Rita's hospital room "Don't be put off by all the equipment; it's helping."

The woman in the background of Fred and audraaaaa has a knife and fork in her hands but I haven't seen her eat anything yet

They totally forgot that Sally's mother lived through a lot of financial misery. Where did all that money come from?

Love Vera's earrings..they're the best. Its nice to have a touch of respite from the Battersby circus..lol

Between 1:17:41 and 1:18:34 What Emily is trying to say is that the only difference between Curly Watts and Geoffrey Nugent is the 10 years and 10 months age difference.

2:59:42 what was that sound?

I am concerned about Percy Sugdon the old Soldier , has not been seen since he left his accomodation at Mrs Bishop ,s , he lives in the same flats as Maud Grimes , but Maud comes to Cornation street to work at the corner shop , will Percy Sugdon come back to the street , remains to be seen ,

Ida Clough..another boiler bully

The man with glasses who looks like John Lennon at 3:12:09 was in Doctor Who and the Daemons in 1971 and in Angels at the end of the 1970's as the miserable jobs-worth Katy Bett's boy-friend. Katy Betts was played by Shirley Cheriton who is now 68.

Between 5:32:33 and 5:34:41 is the bit I like best in this episode.

Audrey Roberts is an old Mixer , Glasgow discription , talking about the young barman getting out of a taxi with an older lady , to cause trouble with Vera and young sandy the barman , who was only making an extra few pounds , working as an escort for Alex ,s golden years agency ,

I'm surprised Audrey did not say I'm more good looking that Spider when Alec asked "What have you got that Spider has not Got?"

Coronation Street Wednesday July 8th 1998 1:33:03 to 1:56:16

Between 6:16:11 and 6:17:00 The argument between Toyah and Leanne is similar to the arguments Leanne engaged in with Eva between mid 2011 and mid 2013.

so Greg would pick Sally over Maxine and Chris would pick Sally over Samantha. The only explanation is Sally is writing the scripts.

Rita should have felt better once out of her flat. They missed that the writers did.

It makes me sick when they use Weatherfield instead of Manchester. It was even worse in Neighbours. When I watched Neighbours I can't remember Melbourne even being mentioned. They always seemed to use the word Erinsborough.

At 4:05:39 Greg Kelly is snogging Sally behind Maxine's back. Well this proves Fiona Middleton's theory about Greg right.

Coronation Street Friday July 10th 1998 1:56:17 to 2:19:25

Just watched latest Corrie on Binge where same happened to Aadi . Actually lots of plots constantly recycled.

Greg and that Sams husband Ritchie both have annoying mouths.

Sally is so wrong putting her eyes on any other men as long as Sally has been on this show she has always looked at another men. Not that Kevin is any better they both just need to go there separate ways. I can't wait till the day they stop kidding themselves and just leave each other alone.

isn't it strange that Jim McDonald wants to wear a sweatshirt in July?

00:20 🦽 3:30 👩🏼‍🦽 6:08 💇🏼‍♀️ 6:50 🛌 12:30 👆🏻 17:48 🏪

Coronation Street Wednesday July 1st 1998 0:30 to 23:31

Coronation Street Monday July 6th 1998 1:09:41 to 1:33:02

With regard to what Leanne said between 2:09:05 and 2:09:07 Why would Rita want to listen to Leanne who is 43 years younger than her. If Norris was in her place at the time she wouldn't listen to him and Norris is only four years younger than Rita. Women never like being told what to do by anybody more than 25 years younger than temselves.

Coronation Street July 27th 1998 5:38:28 to 6:24:40

Coronation Street July 22nd 1998 4:29:18 to 4:52:27

Coronation Street Saturday July 4th 1998 46:20 to 1:09:40

At 4:08:30 it is lucky for Greg and Sally that Caroline from Sons and Daughters is not in Maxine's shoes. If she was the game would have been up for Greg and Sally. Caroline would not have bought Greg story so easily. Caroline in Sons and Daughters was clever.

At the point 1:41:33 Hayley could get out of it by saying that is a photograph of her brother.

Hmm...Do I detect yet another new lover for Liz ? 🤣

Coronation Street July 18th 1998 3:43:36 to 4:06:18

Coronation Street Friday July 3rd 1998 23:32 to 46:19

When does Alf die, does anyone know 😂

At 4:01:51 Curly Watts and Spider Nugent together. Thing will now get interesting.
