Perhaps Liz has committed it to memory and enters it for him? |

I rant over this frequently but it is annoying me to the point of distraction. I know women often choose to keep their surname after marriage but would it happen so frequently.
Can someone please enlighten me why: Adam Barlow is not Adam Baldwin? His father Mike Baldwin was married to his mother Susan Barlow who was presumably Susan Baldwin? Is Daniel known as Daniel Osborne or will he transmogrify into a Barlow? Hopefully he has a middle name of Kenneth and can take that at the appropriate juncture when the total metamorphosis into The Original Sir Kenneth is complete. Leanne has had several marriages and is Battersby again, and it appears Toyah is too. I just wonder why it's decided some will keep their maiden name and others the married name, there must be a discussion about who will do what. Carla was the original irritant. After several husbands she reverted to her first married's surname, not even her maiden name, even though of course we have learned her father was Johnny Connor. Anyway, small points but teeth gratingly annoying to me. Denise Osborne wasn't married to Ken, and she decided not to include Ken on the birth certificate for Daniel even though Ken offered to support him. The multiple married ladies can choose which name their wish to use. Why shouldn't they? You can be known by any name you wish and in any case, why should it be different for men and women? Men don't change their surnames when they marry. |

Adam Barlow is a Barlow because Mike ended his marriage to Susan when she said she'd had an abortion and she reverted to Barlow. She couldn't register Mike as the father even if she wanted to because he wasn't present at the registration.

BIB 1: As previously stated she DID have an abortion, but this was later re-written.

Some men are enlightened enough to take their wife's name (although usually if it's to their advantage to do so), but the ability to be know by any name you wish applies equally to both men and women. Goes back to the days when wives were the property of their husbands. Fortunately that's no longer the case and many women keep their original surname.. |

Hi, sorry to take this thread off course but someone will know the answer to this! A couple of months ago I wanted to find some information re. a couple of old episodes and I mean old, 1985! I ended up finding them and watching them, but now I can't for the life of me remember where I looked to find them again. I have the episode numbers and I thought I watched them on YouTube, but when I do a search nothing positive comes up. Maybe it wasn't YouTube. Can anyone assist please?

Adam will no doubt get away with the nonsense because he is supposed to be a clever Dickie smart arse type and the Conners are just your average dim-witted thicko type.
Wish they would just close the bloody factory down. |

[quote=Janet43;85040339]BIB1: Didn't say the abortion hadn't been rewritten - just giving the explanation using the history as it is CURRENTLY written as that's what the writers are currently using.

Some men are enlightened enough to take their wife's name (although usually if it's to their advantage to do so), but the ability to be know by any name you wish applies equally to both men and women.

Fortunately that's no longer the case and many women keep their original surname..[/QUOTE] Or the surname of one of their husbands, which is my point. Not their original name nor the name of the last husband. Thank you for the explanation re why Adam is a Barlow. |

In IE, click on the Star to show favourites and history. FF allows you to search via a dialog box, whereas IE seems to just rely on scrolling through a list

Billy rifling Eileen's cupboards to feed Shona. He's just too weird.
Why isn't Andy writing his horror movie scripts anymore? Why can't Peter get a job to earn money for a holiday with Simon? He stays in Ken's rent free. He could do the taxiing, the Rovers or deliver flowers for Tracy. What an idle sod he is. Even Toyah is looking for work, Peter has no excuse. |

Yes, the writers will find some loophole to make Adam the new factory boss (or yet another addition to the overcrowded office). Don't forget this is the same show where Tracy got off with murder after only serving three years of her sentence.
Wish they would just close the bloody factory down. |

Corrie will do it as some daft convoluted way to get a Baldwin back in the factory as a daft nod to the factory's history in Corrie.

Would have made more sense for him to delay evicting her until he had income from taxiing so he'd have her rent to live on for a bit, but this is Corrie where no-one seems to have any sense when it comes to money - having a cup of tea, coffee, breakfast or whatever at the cafe instead of at home being just one example.. |

Yeah, and then they'll have SmugAdam change his name to Baldwin in honour of his father.

Yes and no doubt the name of the factory will be changed too to reflect that.

Yes but it didn't stop them doing the contrived nonsense of Adam the cigar and the going into the factory finding the bottle of whisky when he rocked up on the street a few weeks or so ago did it, so if any one needs to move on it's the Corrie bosses.

what are the numbers?
videos can be removed off youtube for copyright reasons My IE history list goes back to 05/08/2016 and there are literally thousands of items on there. The problem is I just can't remember how long ago it was; I just wish I could recall where I found the episodes in the first place. One of the episodes I was watching featured Ian Bleasdale, probably better known for playing paramedic Josh in Casualty. In the early part of 1985 he played the part of David Millward, the jealous husband of Christine Millward, a fashion designer who he thought was having an affair with Mike Baldwin. Bleasdale's appearance in the programme is not credited on IMDB, which is what I was trying to correct. Christine Millward was played by former actress Julie Shipley, which is where it becomes more difficult as regards the episode number. IMDB shows her appearances as being in episodes 2475 and 2476, listed as 9th and 14th January 1985 respectively, whereas Corriepedia shows them as 2482 and 2485, with dates as 14th and 23rd January. So there's an error somewhere! Thanks for your help in any case. |

No, so it just makes the scene even more contrived, I'm surprise they don't have him going in the Rovers and ordering a "large Scottish wine" as that is what Mike used to call whisky.
