"What's that lipstick taste of?"
"Woman, Stanley! Woman!" I got it slightly wrong. But that line is brilliant

But Stans death marked the end of the Ogdens. We lost loads at this time Annie Walker, Albert Tatlock, Elsie Tanner, Geoffrey Hughes and, er, Peter Adamson... |

Annie's reaction to Hilda's "Muriel" was priceless.

I rarely watch Corrie nowadays but I loved it when Stan and Hilda were in it. I loved her singing Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye in the Rovers when she left.

Loved watching tonights tribute to Jean Alexander. She was brilliant in the show. Could put up with Sean and Gemma and Fiz and Chesney but why one earth did Lisa Stansfield have to keep putting her two pennath in?? was she ever in Corrie cos I dont remember seeing her.

Indeed an amazing actress and a thoroughly nice lady. Bumped into her once whilst shopping and couldn't believe how 'posh' her real voice was

There were no laughs in the peeping tom storyline in the early 70's which involved Stan and that showed they could both do drama as well as comedy,
....................... Another funny story (you'll probably know the details better) was when Hilda was on the warpath because Stan had done something else to lose her money. So he (Stan) thought he'd get into her good books by fixing their broken toaster. Hilda comes home to find Stan has the toaster in bits on the table. Finds out he is finally getting around to doing all the odd jobs she kept on about - their broken toaster being one. The only problem ... Hilda had thrown out the old (broken) toaster months back, and replaced it with a brand new one .... the same brand new toaster that Stan had in bits across her table. I have never forgotten the look on their faces.Not seen tonight's tribute yet, look forward to watching it.

I remember that story about the street blaming Stan for being a peeping tom. Jean Alexander really excelled in that.

Wonderful. She won an award for that.
Quite poignant in tonight's show with Stan's real life son saying "That was my Dad". |

Really enjoyed the programme, but it makes me dread this pointless killing-off they're reportedly going to be doing with Hilda's character 30-odd years on. Seeing her farewell scenes from 1987 showed that she was given the perfect "closure" back then; they really don't need to kill her off now
Unless of course the funeral thing was made up by the tabloids, we can but live in hope...Let her stay in our imaginations, living out there in the world singing away merrily! |

For me this is still the greatest scene ever in any television programme.
Quite poignant in tonight's show with Stan's real life son saying "That was my Dad". She was an amazing actress. What with that scene and Emmerdale earlier, I feel like I've done nothing but cry buckets tonight. |

Just watching now.
What a great show, especially seeing contributions from the likes of Daran Little and the MAGNIFICENT John Stevenson. As Flukie says, he is a God. There was a tear in his eyes as he talked about the scene after Stan's death. Would love ITV to manage to get them both back to write some episodes - what a treat that would be! They could maybe get Adele Rose back too. I actually found the fact that they had the likes of Antony Cotton, Jennie McAlpine and Sam Aston sitting watching the classic clips of Hilda moments of great satire. It made me chuckle. It was like whoever put together the show was making a whole series of thinly veiled digs at current Corrie. Michael Le Vell's comment towards the end of the show were also telling. The scenes with Sally and Kevin were sublime, really glad that they included a segment with them both. Sally Dynevor was especially emotional. |
