It's Friday again so it's time for
this
week's fab Coronation Street
photo. Last week I rued the absence of an old curmudgeon and a dotty old woman on the Street.
This week I ask: What's happened to all the wheeler dealers?
OK, there's Rob, Tracy and Tony but here are a couple of old-time dodgy characters, Mike Baldwin and his father, Frankie played the fabulous Sam Kydd, who could show them a thing or two.

Mike Baldwin was dodgy, dangerous, cheeky and attractive. Danny Baldwin was all of those, too. Rob would be - if he wasn't held back by Tracy. He'd be far better off on his own. Tony is much too sinister and has no humour at all. Eddie Yeats was cheeky and funny, but not very successful.
ReplyDeleteThey missed a chance with Peter Barlow, a natural 'ducker and diver'.
there don't seem to be these characters in Corrie any more, we need some in the mould of Jack, Vera, Mike, et al.....
