I think Derek was bought in as a replacement for Jerry in that respect.

Still find it hard to believe Archie could be the father of characters like George and now Glenda.
Archie was a gentle giant, whereas George is big and noisy and Glenda, played by Jodie Prenger is likely to be large and loud and lively too. It doesn’t “sit” right if that makes sense.

Gentle landlord Jack Walker fathered a scoundrel, Billy. Billy had some of his mother Annie's arrogance.

Corriepedia suggests Archie might have had two spouses, as it says “wife” and “Joan” on seperate lines so it’s perfectly possible that they don’t even share a mother and their mother may well have been butch, tall and loud!

Why did Bert leave...? Did he and Ivy separate...? I remember him in the programme and know he was a bit dodgy in real life... But can't remember him going out of it initially...

Happy 20th wedding anniversary to Richard and Gail. I bet in hindsight she wishes he offed Audrey and got her money. If Stephen Reid to sniff around for an inheritance he would just end up underneath one of Richard's properties.

According to Corriepedia Peter Dudley was charged with trying to pick up men in a public toilet. He was written out of the show to focus on his trial but died after suffering two heart attacks in October 1983. Bert didn't seem to have a proper exit and just "disappeared". He later died in hospital off-screen in January 1984.

Patricia’s death was tragic but recasting with Maggie was a positive move as she looked like Deirdre/Anne and had Anne lived I think we would have seen her just become more and more like Blanche.
