Jean was the only true actor on the show. ❤

Hilda left due to a broken heart, she felt the world she knew, her Street, was becoming her prison. Instead of marrying Tom, she left to take care of Dr Lowther's broken heart and to escape hers. A bittersweet exit. And she never wore her turban and rollers after the attack....the old Hilda had gone.😢 We'll always love you ❤

I know this was ages ago but I had tears in my eyes when Hilda left, she is definitely one of my favorites! Jean Alexander was a great actress!

Those sweet singing tones of Hilda were great to hear again

Broke my heart when hilda went to stans grave and said hey Stan I reckon your in the right place

Goodbye Hilda Chuck. The street was never ever the same without you.

Thank you saddest episode 😢 Hilda marks the end of great acting 😢

Hilda, what an icon ❤️

That is what I miss about Coronation street back in the day; something to laugh and cry about. They had comedy that we still can not find today and touching scenes that made us cry.

Eddie and Hilda, my two favourites on the street. Best acting, best characters💜💜Rip Jean Alexander and Geoffrey Hughes.

Jean Alexander was The Street, it was never the same after she left. It then gave way to the young actors and the world changing.... and ridiculous storylines.

Always thought percy fancied hilda a bit

Jean Alexander was the best Actress out of all of these.

It was nice to see Eddie again back on the street, I think he played a great role and he always had a good giggle with Hilda, He helped her smile and laugh 😆 again when she was feeling down, it was so sad 😭 seeing her leave the street she was a gem 💎 to the street and everyone loved our Hilda ❤❤❤ RIP jean Alexandra ❤❤❤

I've binged the lot from the first episode to Hilda singing farewell at the rovers. It's been a delight but it ends here for me. I don't want to spoil things for myself. Thankyou ProfessionalGun 66

I can understand why Hilda went to live at Dr Lowther’s. Perhaps Jean Alexander had not yet decided to leave Coronation Street when Tom proposed. I don’t know. After the attack, she admitted to needing to feel useful which was how she had been all her life. In marriage and work. Hilda needed to be needed. After the attack she was lost. A connection had been established with Dr Lowther after the fateful night of the burglary. A positive came from a negative. She would have her reason to get up everyday without being romantically involved, a roof over her head and some income. Proceeds from the house would have provided a nice little nest egg. Hilda was a one man woman which is is so refreshing to see in these modern times where morals leave a lot to be desired. It’s not easy to tune into Jenny’s silly problems in 1988 after saying goodbye.

End of an era 😢

Love the Rita/Mavis banter-Rita deliberately missing the point of what Mavis is saying.

Reading through the comments, no one has seemed to pick up on the genius of the writers one last trouble making line from Hilda (albeit innocent this time) to Alec about Bet and Mike just before her farewell 😂 And the writers making out Bet was a slag when she's had about 3 or 4 boyfriends to my memory in the previous 10 years from this channels episodes.

Tears of sadness for Hilda leaving , but what a final line saying Bet and Mike lived together at No 3 😂, Hilda lives on. 😂. Tears of laughter at Mavis drunk in Rita’s😂.

The writers overdid it with Mavis as the 'scarlet woman' storyline, and Thelma Barlow, who's usually excellent, overacted in virtually every scene.

Brilliant episodes

Thank you

I love these old Corries. They were built on strong characters not nasty storylines. I haven’t watched the new ones for many years. Have tried but have had to switch off after only a couple of minutes, they are unbearable now.

So sad to see Hilda go, after just 23 years in the street; but at 2:16:04 - when she spills the beans on Bet living with Mike in earlier years, she tells Alec, "She lived with him at no. 3, you know, for quite some time." If they had, they'd have both been lodging with Emily Bishop. It was no. 5 Mike owned, before selling it to Ray and Deirdre Langton in 1977.

I think Eddies character played by Geoffrey Hughes died very recently, just at the end of last year 2022. I dont know what he died from but remember seeing it on a media news post with Eddies smiling face & a farewell tribute Eddie was brilliant esp with Hilda & Stan! They made Corrie for me Why they EVER wrote Eddie out i will never know! Maybe it was when he took part in the tv hit show The Royal Family With Ricky Tomlinson & Caroline Aherne But he wasnt in every episode & he should have taken many more appearances in Corrie.. shame 🇬🇧👧
