This group, just like many others is all but dead. I don't know if it is
that Corrie has lost popularity, or that people have moved to social
media. This group was very much alive at one time.

It is a bit sad - I still like this way of communicating, but seems
few others continue to.
A few of us still here but nobody (me included) seems to be starting chats.
BTW for those who were following this thread over time - my unit was not as badly damaged as first feared; most of the irreplacable items survived, and the
insurance paid out cash for those that were ruined. Could have been worse.

I agree. I am quite a lurker here, but I have always found it to have a better
sense of community that other methods that have tried to replace it.
My ISP have recently stopped their NNTP service too, so I have had to sign up with Eternal September, although the retention is fairly short in comparison.
I all but abandoned 'current' Coronation Street a while back and now just watch
'classic' - so I'm always up for a discussion on events of the past. I was tempted to resurrect old threads from 20years ago :-)
Olly.

I think it has been more shocking watching this again now - I really didn't notice the first time around how twisted and manipulating Tracy was in the run
up to this situation.
I just feel sorry for Ken now with Deidre and Blanche on his back to raid the family assets!

I had forgotten the deatil too, but the actual scene where she hit him

I do remember the several camera pans and zoom shots to the ornament originally
("hello viewers, I become important in a few minutes" :-) )- I forgot that she
cracked him twice with it though! :-O

So had I forgotten that, yet that actual ornament seemed to been imprinted on

curently it is January 2007. Tracy has just clobbered Charlie the controlling
builder and killed him, claiming self defence.
Chesney is living with Fiz and maria because les had an affair with Yana while
Cilla was claiming she was dying from cancer (she wasn't but saw it as a good
way to get sympathy and money for a holiday) and the Connors have just taken >> over the factory and we first see Carla.
