Poor Mavis, when talking to Deidrie about imagining a dream in which she is a guest at Charles' and Diana's wedding, and Deidrie interprets it as Mavis being the bride. She's so overcome with the idea that a dream would have taken her to those dizzy heights, she envisioned the Queen glaring at her every time she licked a stamp. She can't even dare to fantasise, though of course in reality, it's something she does constantly. It's such a well written and performed scene and sums up how endlessly trapped, frustrated and curtailed she is in every way.

As for the `yet to be conceived Terry` he would be coming up to his 17th birthday (born June 1964). Yep, that's according to Corriepedia and their hypercritical character guide.

She had great fun with Mike & their storyline would have been so much fun & frivolity Esp if Deirdre had to keep tabs on The flirty Mike! Ken is so dreary and boring His face seems to always have that permanent downturned mouth & slab like expression! I couldn't see how Deirdre thought life with Ken was going to be exciting! She who is quick to laugh & smile & so easy going, she should have taken a chance with Mike I still think the writers should have brought Ray Langton back & see him & Deirdre rekindle their love.

Genius storyline when gobby Vera becomes the wayward teenage daughter Ivy and Bert never had! The dynamics between those three characters when Vee lands in their house uninvited, are hilarious. There's Vera, grabbing the chance of some extra marital fun with Harry and to hell with the consequences, because lazy Jack takes her for granted. She's totally out of control enjoying her second childhood - the house guest from Hell! Then there's poor Bert who finds Vera as sexy as a pan scrub and sees her not so much as a woman, more a walking mouth who frequently wakes him up, and eats him out of house and home (41:09 "Hello gannet!"). And of course there's the small matter of Vera cheekily using his razor behind their locked bathroom door, and blunting it on her bikini line! But Ivy's response to the new, 'menage a trois' is funniest of all. She is actually possessive over her husband and a little bit threatened by her pal. She flies into a frenzy every time Vera's standing in front of Bert in her Woolworth's nylon nightie, or says something suggestive, or cheekily kisses him on the top of his balding head. Vera just can't help herself, she's a born flirt (Bert - "Know what I mean?!!") To most people Vera's a joke, but in Ivy's eyes she's Marilyn Monroe, with the potential to turn her beloved Bert's head. In truth, Vera's more likely to turn Bert's stomach - especially when he finds out where she's been putting his razor!
