Yes Annie, Elsie, Len, Albert, Bert and Stan all left between October 1983 and November 1984. 1985 wasnt the best year for Corrie after so many old favourates had left and the clayton family were introduced and also axed!

And they are back in Ronnie and Jimmy form....

Yes it was a tough time for the street and they introduced a host of younger characters to try to enlist the youth vote, something they occasionally struggle with.

1985-6 saw incoming Curly, Kevin, Terry Duckworth, Sally, Martin Platt, Jenny Bradley, Gina Seddon....

Oh Betty, where art thou?

She was in it after Shelley jilted Charlie. But she never gets storylines, which is a shame. I agree that I'd rather her and Rita were in it all the time than Les.

Rita hasnt been in it much recently either

the reason for that is because the people voting probably never knew the legends of corrie.
will we be talking about karen with the same affection in 20 years time? i doubt it very much.
IMO karen is not and never will be a legend of corrie and neither will most of the cast who have joined in the last 10 years.

i hope betty returns soon shes vanished and hasnt been seen in ages im getting worried now

i have betty signed photos and her autobiography does anyone have her show when she was on this is your life id love to see that she even has the same dog as me a boxer hehe
