my husband's reaction to seeing (and hearing!) Fred Elliott for the first time was priceless 😅. All those years in the North West and I still haven't met anyone who speaks like that IRL. #coronationstreet
Classic #CoronationStreet is currently showing the first episodes I ever watched, ~20 years ago when I was fresh off the plane in the UK. It's a wild ride to see it all again. My life was so different, yet it feels like only 5 minutes have passed. #Corrie is still one of my favourite tv programs.
The LezWatch.TV character of the day is Paula Martin from “Coronation Street“ - #CoronationStreet #LWTVcotd https://lezwatchtv.com/character/paula-martin/
TODAY IN QUEER TV HISTORY
CORONATION STREET: Episode 5,772 - May 31, 2004, ITV
In the early 2000s on this long-running British soap, teenagers Todd and Sarah started dating. By 2004, she was pregnant by him and they were engaged, though he was questioning his sexual orientation.
Partway through the pregnancy, Todd told Sarah that he had realized he was gay and was now dating a nurse named Karl. Shortly thereafter, the pregnancy developed life-threatening complications. In this episode, her family blames Todd and are bitter towards him. In these clips, we also see Todd's boyfriend Karl (who works at the hospital) and Todd's mother, Eileen.
Todd has often been portrayed as immature, self-involved, and irresponsible, even when he tries his (inadequate) best to do the right thing.

Getting everything ready for the #Coronation #StreetParty in a couple of weeks time! Just a few notes:
- While it is not a #CoronationStreet #party, anyone who wishes to dress up as Bet Lynch, Ken Barlow or other national treasures is welcome to do so.
- We still welcome homemade cakes, scones and other treats but we are all set for Coronation Quiche. Please do not offer to bring any more quiche. Not even if you have a surfeit of broad beans to use up.

#CoronationStreet has me very engaged now that Roy has got a Shih Tzu. I think I'd even be okay with Freddie if he started poisoning Carla.
THE DRIVEL AND GUSH OF THE TELEVISION SERIAL
Soap operas: nobody likes them, so why are they top of the viewing charts, asks Milton Shulman in 1966

Hmmm…something has happened to the High Street overnight. Not sure what time the Home Guard is marching. #DealKent #CoronationStreet.
Was it coincidence that #NZTV1's show #7Sharp told us what foods poison dogs less than 24 hours after #CoronationStreet told us? (Note to UK friends - NZ is about a week behind you, as you may have read on #Corriepedia.)

I guess the Tilly shippers will be happy (well, the ones that have accepted Gareth as Todd) because I guess after Paul's death, Billy with Todd is his next destination??
Like Den (below), I've been unhappy (though for different reasons) about the Todd/Billy/Paul dynamic after Todd returned.
My reasons are irrelevant now... Paul's going to die. I'm unhappy about it but it's happening.
Paul in Coronation Street has Motor Neurone Disease.
Paul's boyfriend Billy's an archdeacon in the Church of England.
I guess Paul will die before the severity of the disease afflicts him.

Here's that #CoronationStreet clip, what a quip 😀
We did play Happy Birthday for Corrie's Brian Packham (aka Peter Gunn of Brassed Off fame), so it's not out of the question Evelyn!.... 🎺🎂
