IF YOU GREW up in a Coronation Street house, you will remember just how bonkers and brilliant it was in the 2000s. Take a trip down Weatherfield memory lane with us, won’t you?
This was really the golden age of the soap, wasn’t it? Richard with his leather gloves and his crowbar, driving the Platts into the canal to the strains of The Wannadies. What a TIME!
There has never been a better supermarket manager. Raquel can go and shite with her modelling career, TBH.

Baldwin v Barlow was one of TV’s great rivalries – they had five fistfights. Five! The pair ended their feud shortly before Mike died of a heart attack in Ken’s arms. D’aww.

This role has been recast three (3) times, but Peak Nick would have to be Adam Rickitt, wouldn’t it? Those curtains captured many a heart back in the day.
