I am reliably informed (by a fellow Corrie-watcher, so it's not tablets of stone - and if anyone remembers this differently, please let me know! back-pedal, back-pedal) that it was NOT Blanche who delivered the immortal line "Oh, here's Oedipus", as Jamie Baldwin walked into the Rovers, just after news of his affair with Frankie had broken.
No. It was, apparently, Liz McDonald's former squeeze, Vernon. What made it so great was Vernon's casual delivery of the line (so I'm told, 'cos I can't remember!) as he pulled a pint. Also, the strangeness of Vernon, being Vernon, using a reference from the "classical canon".
Ah, happy days.

Vernon was a good character. The Mason's Arms should have been released as a single! I remember an episode where the street was cordoned off by the police, and the Rovers was evacuated? And somehow Vernon ended up on his own in the pub. Had he been in the toilet or the cellar asleep or something? And why did everybody have to leave?
i loved vernon bring him back!
i think it was the bomb they found in ashley peacocks garden gadgee
Yep, it was in the peacocks garden! It was hilarious that episode! I remember a Mr Paul Conner being hilarious in that episode as well!
WE WANT VERNON BACK!
Ah yeah I remember the bomb now. Thanks for that.
Speaking of cellars, anyone remember who it was that Steve McDonald locked in the Rovers cellar? it wasn't Paul Connor was it?
I liked Vernon Tomlin too!
