Which "Polly" are you going on about?
Both Mrs WR and myself have only missed one Corrie episode since 1979 and neither of us have a clue who you are going on about.
Unless we are missing something....
Polly (see post above yours) was a WPC in 'The Bill'. The subject came about because an ex Bill actor is now sniffing around Liz's apron!Both Mrs WR and myself have only missed one Corrie episode since 1979 and neither of us have a clue who you are going on about.

Sure I'd never seen her on the cobbles.......
Thanks...
This day in 1978:-
The summer of discontent:-
19th June 1978: Mike Baldwin provoked a strike at his factory when he sacked Hilda Ogden after she asked for a new sweeping brush. In the foulest of moods and suspecting Hilda of cutting the brushes off the old one he summarily dismissed her. Even though Hilda was not in the union, Ivy Tilsley pushed for the rest of the factory staff to come out on strike in support of her. The vote wasn’t unanimous as Hilda wasn’t the most popular of colleagues but a majority supported the action. Mike refused to back down and the girls walked out as the bitterest of disputes that he had ever faced as a factory owner began…

Grunwick would have been all over the news around then, so suspect that was the source of the plotline. The summer of discontent:-

Regarding the two "tee shirt" thugs with the lock up, has there ever been a more unlikely pair of gangsters, on British TV?, they wouldn't have scared my granny.
"Chesney can handle himself one to one, but there were two of them."
Tony seems to have disappeared of the face of the earth, I wonder if he'll ever come back?

I think I remember the long-haired one from "Deliverance"."Chesney can handle himself one to one, but there were two of them."

Will Eva ever return to the Street?
My Mrs and I usually record and watch the omnibus edition and have an arrangement to replenish our glasses,when the dreadful term "do one" ( meaning "go away", by all accounts) is used by one of the many gormless youngsters.. I guarantee you'll be half pissed by the end. The same game works when Mike Brewer says "iconic" on Wheeler Dealers. Usually within the first twenty seconds.
Tim has turned into a really good character. I assumed when he first appeared that he would be a temporary addition to the cast, but they've done a good job writing him into the ethos of the Street. His personality has changed somewhat, but soap writers are allowed to do that . The feckless loafer is now a caring dad, and full of worldly wisdom. Good stuff - when is he going to get off with Anna, d'ye reckon?
Meanwhile, Mary remains the pearl of characterisations. Her stare!

He has gone from being damned annoying to being a decent bloke - the christening scene was, however, nonsense.. The feckless loafer is now a caring dad, and full of worldly wisdom. Good stuff - when is he going to get off with Anna, d'ye reckon?Meanwhile, Mary remains the pearl of characterisations. Her stare!
Mary is, however, the best character - I always remember the scene where she pulled the pin from a train carriage (I think during a wedding).
