- TriviaOn Friday April 8 2005, seventeen million viewers watched episode 5,998, in which Ken Barlow remarried ex-wife Deirdre Rachid. This was four million more than had watched the real-life Royal Wedding between H.M. King Charles III and Camilla Parker-Bowles earlier that day. The fictional pair had also been the "other" big wedding event in July 1981, two days before then-Prince Charles married his first wife, Lady Diana Spencer (Princess Diana).
- GoofsThe night before Steve and Karen's wedding after Steve decides to let his mum invite Ken and Deidre, she walks out the front door, straight past the Barlows. Then, after they finish their dialog about Tracy, she comes out of the toilet.

Featured review
Down the Rovers
Corrie really is the nations soap and is so ingrained in our minds that everyone probably has a favourite character, moment of line.
Yes, it's probably on too many days of the week and the plots at times verge of ridiculous but what I love about Corrie is that of all the soaps it maintains that balance between humour and drama and that is what makes it so endearing.
While Eastenders may win more awards I think Corrie is loved more by the public and that is why the characters remain in our hearts so long after they have left.
With another good live episode out of the way recently the only way for Corrie seems to be up.
