Featured review
I have been watching Classic Corrie and it is up to 2004. The storylines are better and so is the acting. At this point in time the programmes were shorter and this may possibly mean the script writers were not under the same pressure. Around 2004 the storylines were also believable, things that could have happened anywhere including the murders. At the moment the storyline includes Tracy and her baby and about the McDonald's reaction to it. No wonder Suranne Jones went on to bigger things, she was brilliant as was Katherine Kelly and others of that time. There are still some excellent actors such as the actors who plays Paul and Damien but there are also some actors who don't make the character believable, although that may be the writing. The solicitors, oh please. The police, dear me. I think the programme makers could do with sitting down and watching a couple of years worth of Classic Corrie.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAs of 2025, only one member of the original cast from the debut episode remains: William Roache, who has played Ken Barlow since December 1960. William Roache is the longest-serving actor in the history of television serials. The previous record-holder was Don Hastings, who played Bob Hughes on the American soap opera As the World Turns (1956), from October 1960, bettering Roache's achievement by two months. He lost his record when that series ended in September 2010.
- GoofsThe night before Steve and Karen's wedding after Steve decides to let his mum invite Ken and Deidre, she walks out the front door, straight past the Barlows. Then, after they finish their dialog about Tracy, she comes out of the toilet.
