Hmm well I think Becky and Tina have the right amount of airtime currently.

Well I don't so there!   

Tina was ok until she barged into Gail's and told her she was staying.  Cheeky mare!!  And Becky would have too much airtime even if she was on for 2 seconds as far as I'm concerned.  Both too gobby by half!

Yes Kevin Kennedy presented the lifetime achievement award to Liz Dawn at the soap awards a few weeks ago.

Yes I was just about to say he paid tribute and presented an award to "our Vera".  How could I forget!

Well Emily's appearance tonight was a bit like Betty's i.e. blink & you miss it!

Ah so that's why Emily's been brought back - because of the storyline with the yobs.   What a sad reflection on our society when that is the reason.

It was great that both Hilda and Irma were mentioned in last nights Corrie. I love it when they make references to the past character!

Mike  (Mr) Baldwin was mentioned by the factory girls last week - apparently the best boss they ever had (they didn't think that at the time though!!)    Andy McDonald's being mentioned quite a bit too at the moment.  A  very rare occurrence to hear reference to past characters but seems to be something of a trend at the moment.  btw I don't remember Irma Ogden???  Didn't even know Stan & Hilda had a daughter?   But have looked her up on the net and apparently she left in 1971.  So how does Kevin remember her (apparently he didn't appear in the street until 1983??

Kevin and Sally lodged with Hilda Ogden when they first got married so they would have known about her two children Irma (who married Ken's brother who was killed in a car crash) and Trevor. 

Perhaps they knew OF her but never ever met her then?

Kevin and Sally never met Irma no - she left in 1971 and never appeared again as far as I know. The Ogdens son Trevor appeared a few times after that, including Stan's funeral.

 I was watching an old episode of Corrie from 1970 today and id forgotten how great a character Irma was. Wish she would return.

oh i remember Irma, she was a funny fiery girl,  and i wonder what happened to jenny bradley who was alan bradleys daughter? she stayed with rita for ages. and i loved phylis pierce...with her blue rinse. some great characters sadly missed.

Phyllis. Percy & Maud.  What a trio they were!  Couldn't stand Jenny Bradley though - the first in a long line of horrid disrespectful teenagers.

You never know....when Corrie celebrates 50 years  in 2010, Hilda might be tempted to come back for its special episode. I'd love to see a few other favourites come back too, just as a one-off cameo appearance.

 

I hope so. Would love to see Hilda and Mavis return especially

when the ogdens joined(1964?)they had a third child who was in care and then was forgotten about and never mentioned again.

Actually I think they had 4 children in total - 2 were taken into care and then there was Irma and Trevor.
