September from 1986's official Coronation Street calendar, with a large photo of Bet Lynch and Betty Turpin looking exasperated by the obnoxious Gordon Lewis. Lewis was the temporary Rovers Return manager after Billy Walker scampered off back to Jersey with his beard, and before Bet's successful session with Sarah Ridley.

As is so often the case, Bet and Betty speak for us all. #Corrie #CorrieCalendar #Corrie1986 #September #CoronationStreet #ClassicCorrie #ClassicCoronationStreet #BettyTurpin #BetLynch #Becky

Aren't they forgetting about rigor mortis? #ClassicCorrie #ClassicCoronationStreet

April in Coronation Street’s 1986 calendar, featuring a colour photo of Len Fairclough with Rita, at the bar in the Rovers. Slightly behind Rita is an at-peak Mike Baldwin (pre-tie era; very large lapels and pointy collars) who looks as if he may be sucking the edge of Rita’s wig. Also featured are some smaller black and white pictures, with anecdotes.

A battered tabloid clipping of Kevin Webster marrying Alison (in a Sally-sandwich of wedding antics for little Kev). Kevin is in his goatee period, and is in a denim-blue shirt with a metallic tie. Alison looks delirious - on this occasion, with happiness.

Predicting a happy-ever-after for this lovely young couple (and their unborn progeny). #Corrie #ClassicCorrie #ClassicCoronationStreet #KevinWebster #AllTheCorrieWeddings

An ancient tabloid clipping detailing the marriage of Gordon and Caroline in Coronation Street, without so much as even photographing them in the same room, or even both in colour. And some of the print has been lifted off by carefully removed sellotape, from the days when it used to be sticky.

Not an eye in the house, dry or otherwise, when uppity no-better-than-she-ought-to-be breaks Betty’s heart by snaffling Their Gordon in secret London matrimony - and after Betty and Mrs Walker had journeyed to Altrincham to splash out on new frocks! #Corrie #ClassicCorrie #ClassicCoronationStreet

A tabloid newspaper clipping detailing the wedding of Bill and Elaine in 1985's Coronation Street, torn almost in half, thus separating the pair.

A pre-tache Bill Webster marrying soon-to-be-mentioned-again-for-the-first-time-in-decades Elaine, in January 1985. Shortly after this they left to go to Southampton/'Germany'/Yellow Pages ads. #Corrie #ClassicCorrie #ClassicCoronationStreet #AllTheCorrieWeddings #BillsBeenADirtyDog
