Message: <blockquote data-quote="Carrie Fairchild" data-source="post: 353949" data-attributes="member: 673">Stan popped up in the run of 1985 episodes that I watched, appearing as a sort of confidant to Jill as she struggled with the idea of selling her shares in the motel. He was quite the calming influence amid the high drama of Nicola Freeman’s big hair and Adam’s scheming.I’m howling at these descriptions <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />Interesting to hear these different views on Meg’s standing in the show prior to her departure. I’d originally thought her leaving was on par with Bet’s 1995 departure from Corrie, when she was at the height of her powers but it would appear that this isn’t the case.Kate Robbins (mother of the ubiquitous Emily Atack) also had a spin-off single (More Than In Love). I may be wrong but I think it was a tie in to the recording studio in the basement arc as opposed to being the love theme for someone’s wedding. It went Top 10 in the UK charts.</blockquote>
