"Hilda and Stan had four children. Two children, Sylvia and Tony, were not seen on the series with the explanation that they were taken into care when Stan beat them while drunk."

Eddie Yeats, the lodger, was the bin-man, along with Curly and Chalky. Stan was a widow-cleaner.

So your basing your assumption on a man you've never watched about something which happened off screen over fifty years ago
Would like to see where the poster got his "source" from, and if it is even relevant to the show. Seeing how henpecked Stan is by Hilda (even in a black and white episode) it is hard to swallow. But then again the poster has already made up his mind he knows the character well based off that paragraph over the character's proper 20 year history. |

Because it wasn't relevant to his 20 year character history later on. It probably doesn't even count.
Why do people like Roy Cropper when he was a stalker who scared Deirdre? It was a funny thing about the two Ogden kids that were put into care, it's like it was their back story before they appeared on screen, but once they did, they sort of wiped out the back story and they only ever had Irma (real name Freda!) and Trevor. I mean there's a scene in 1976 when Hilda's feeling down and put upon by Stan's laziness, and she was talking about what he'd given her over the years, and she actually says 'Oh yeah, 2 kids, we mustn't forget them' |

Well worth watching IMO.
Jean was a good actor, as was her programme husband Bernard Youens. Very moving seeing his son and Jean's brother. |

Its happened so many times in soaps that characters are nasty to start with them quickly mellow. Tim in Corrie today (also a window-cleaner) wasn't a nice guy when he joined.
Jim Branning in EE probably the best example of this phenomenon. An actual racist when we first saw him; a lovely old man by the end |

Stan used to beat Hllda up thats why their children were put into care. He wasnt a very nice man at the start then turned into a soap legend. |

Billy in EE used to beat Jamie up and Minty he was like a slum landlord at the start then turned into a one of the lads any of them would have a drink with.

Apart from the above, I thought that the programme itself was very well done. |

I know Stan used to have rages, but don't remember that he beat up Hilda.
