Think i have this episode on dvd well from this storyline anyway, would this have been about 1980, when Rita left Len for brief period?.

[Thebryan6145]

@MeBenHalpin Yeah thats right this is from 1980 when Rita left him then she came back later

[MeBenHalpin]

@Thebryan6145 Alright cheers mate, i have the episode from 11/2/80 on dvd, do you know what date this would been.

[Thebryan6145]

@MeBenHalpin Yeah i knew it was about february valentines day this episode. Is it the 50th box set with 12 discs you have of Coronation Street ?

I`ll be he would have got a bigger kicking if those young girls dad from the pool he was noncing around in got hold of him eh kids?

@carlD2 Charlie helped Roy when he was being bullied and saved Sunita from a burning building, so he wasn't plain nasty he did have a caring side.

The guy who played Len was a pedophile in real life dirty git!

@Banner1979 Oh right so the accident was fair bit after the truth coming out about Jim and Fiona?, cos know Steve and Jim were on very bad terms for while, especially knowing how Steve felt about her. It does seem like such long time ago, i was just at secondary school in that period and just scary to think where 13-14 years have gone. Glad Jim had Liz to turn to after the accident too.

[Banner1979]

@MeBenHalpin I think it was in autumn 1997 when Steve found out about Jim sleeping with Fiona and so there was bad blood between them from then on. In April 1998, Jim was going through a bad patch, I think he was depressed then someone gave him a job so he got drunk and started rubbing it in with Steve which led to the fight that got Jim paralysed. Yeah, such a long time ago wasn't it? Time sure does fly like an eagle lol. Liz and Jim got back together after his accident.

[MeBenHalpin]

@Banner1979 Was it not, cos thought Steve found out about him sleeping with Fiona and there was real tension between father and son around this period, but its so long ago now, some things sort of erase from your mind.

[Banner1979]

@MeBenHalpin It wasn't exactly over Fiona but Jim came to tell him that he'd got a job somewhere else and he wanted to rub it in. Then Steve made an insulting comment and goaded Jim to hit him like he hit Liz and then Jim lunged at him only for Steve to grab him and let him go, making him fall off. I remember Jim being unconscious for a few weeks and Steve being given the option to switch off his life support, but of course in the end, he woke up. That's good that you'd talk about it.

[MeBenHalpin]

@Banner1979 She seemed to have chip on her shoulder towards the end and thank goodness Alec acted wisley and dismissed her so she couldn't spread anymore poison. Weren't they arguing about Fiona or something and it all got little out of hand, with Jim having been on the old source?. Was 1996 then and only 12 million at first, i used to love watching Sunday night episodes and usually on the Monday group of us would discuss it at school.

[Banner1979]

@MeBenHalpin You're right, she was a very evil woman behind that friendly smile and really had it in for Des and Natalie. Thank goodness Alec sacked her when he did. Steve said he pushed Jim but the way I saw it, he only let go of him and then Jim being drunk lost his balance and fell down with Steve looking in horror. I think Gary Mallett was doing some work for him at that time and was nearby but he didn't see anything. The Sunday episode began in 1996butonly12mil tuned in.
