Thought I'd do one for Corrie as EE has been done.

My personal favourite was Gail to Richard Hillman:

"You're Norman Bates with a briefcase"

Anyone want to add their favourites?

I read the title of this thread and immediatly thought of that line before I'd even seen any replies!! Has to be my favourite too, I remember laughing so much at the time when she said that!!

Blanche: "Ken will only get down on one knee so many times. In fact, if you leave it long enough, he won't be able to get back up again!"

Tracy: "Well, I suppose you don't need any of these, since you're barren!"
Karen: "What?"
Tracy: "Barren? It means you can't have babies...oh, barren Karen!"

Rita, after David's rampage: "And now the whole street knows, I'm not a natural redhead!"

Deirdre to Blanche:"Are you alright, Mother?"

Blanche: "Oh, I'm fine, mithering about in my own skin"

Stan and Hilda kiss, on their 2nd honeymoon stay at a hotel.

STAN: What's that lipstick taste of?
HILDA: Woman! Stanley. Woman!

Classic!

It's got to be near enough anything Blanche has ever said. One of my favourites was directed at Shelley Unwin

Blanche - I always knew you were big boned, I didn't realise you were big mouthed as well. Fancy picking on a poor defenceless window. (Yes she did say it as window rather than widow)

Jason wearing his hard hat and jeans and Gail says..''Oh and here comes another one from the village people''

[Deleted User] · 15/04/10 - 12:54

It definitely has to be anything said by Blanche! But, back in the golden days of Bet, she definitely had a few brilliant ones as well, especially when she was married to the awful Alec Gilroy.

But I think 'He's a loony and she's a man' tops my list!

riverside 57 · 15/04/10 - 13:00

Bet to Alec Gilroy "I don't know how you can eat all that greasy muck of a morning".

Alec: "Hmph, just because your idea of a breakfast is a cup of tea and a ****"

Bet: "Correction, Tiger, a cup of tea and 2 ****"

Brilliant

:D

Can't remember the exact dialogue but remember this from my 60's boxset
Ena and Minnie drinking hot chocolate together

Minne - Ohh Ena I've finished mine, you've only just started
Ena - We don't all have asbestos gullets!!!

There was one the Blanche said about Liz being a hooker once and it was hysterical.

My recent favourite was Audrey "I can't stand round here all day talking about heroin" lmao

MarzBar85 · 15/04/10 - 13:19

The infamous line:

'Skirt no bigger than a belt, too much eyeliner, and roots as dark as her soul.'

No need to put who said it!

riverside 57 · 15/04/10 - 13:20

Fred Elliot calling out in the street to Toyah Battersby:

"Ay up Toyota, or whatever it is they call ya" lmao!

[Deleted User] · 15/04/10 - 13:21

I don't know if they have done it already and I've missed it but I really think they should do a tribute programme to Maggie Jones featuring all her best bits as Blanche and also any clips of her original appearances as Deirdre's mum back in the 70s.

Also, another older character with fantastic lines was the awful old battleaxe Maud Grimes, a brilliant character, perhaps even the foundation stone of Blanche's character.

Fred Elliot in the park goes up to a Mother and her pram

"HELLLLLOOOOOO LITTTLLE BABBYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Baby starts screaming

ofni · 15/04/10 - 13:28

Yet another Blanche-ism:

"An alcoholic and an arsonist open a bar? Sounds like the start of a joke. ..."

Fred Elliott had some great lines.

To Mavis' budgie: 'ALLO little bud-jay!'

To Toyah: 'OI TOYOTA!' (Toyah replies: 'Um it's Toyah actually!')

Flukie · 15/04/10 - 13:38

Ena, saying she wanted to go like her mother did:

"She just sat up .... broke wind ... and died. It was beautiful"

Lol

Good looks are a curse, Deirdre. You and Kenneth should count yourselves lucky.

Hey there!
