I watch Corrie, Emmerdale and Neighbours mainly. They are my fave 3 soaps. I feel they have the richest histories of the soaps, something EastEnders and H&A can only dream of.

I loved the days when Mike Baldwin ran Underworld.

Haven't watched it since it was in black and white and Elsie Tanner was alive. Must have liked it, though, as I can recall all sorts of details.
Elsie's son's name - Dennis?
Someone's  lad who was  a footballer - maybe Billy Walker of the Rovers Return?
Mr Swindley - aka Arthur Lowe aka Captain Mainwaring.
Rather tame story lines compared with today, though.

For any die-hard fans out there Author Maggie Sullivan has written two books 'Christmas on Coronation Street' set in wartime, mainly about Elsie Grimshaw's story when she marries Arnold Tanner at sixteen, also has lots of the older characters in it. 'Mother's Day on Coronation Street' set in 1942 and it's Annie Walker's story as the new landlady of The Rovers return and how she copes when husband Jack goes off to war. They really are a good read  :)
