All we need now is for someone to find clips of Nicola or Val when they wore shiny black
plastic macs in Emmerdale.

So glad you found the clip of Angie in her shiny black PVC coat - a perfect model of the times. I know she wore it several episodes but I could never find them, thank you so much for doing that.....what a wonderful vision.

I suspect the original vid was from Children in need or Comic Relief or something of that ilk rather than an actual episode of Eastenders

[Domino]

It was definitely from Comic Relief.

Whilst on the subject of Eastenders, does anyone else remember the episode where Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) turns up at the Vic wearing a long shiny black mac after an absence
from the show. I think this was in May 1992, after Gillian Taylforth had given birth to her daughter, Jessica. It was just for the one episode, though she returned to the soap a few weeks later. As I recall, she makes a surprise appearance towards the end of the episode. I think there was some sort of occasion in the story, because the Vic is packed, but I can't remember what.
I wonder if Ray taped this episode.

As for Sally in Corrie I remember her briefly wearing a Green Nylon Rain Jacket / Cagoule when learning to drive a stock car

No, I'm sure it had no fur collar. It was very similar to Angie's.
As far as I can see from IMDb, the episode dated 12th. May 1992 is the only one where she returned for an isolated episode, so I think this must be the one. She left on 13th. February 1992 and returned full time on 4th. June. I think the excuse for writing her out was when she told Pete (whom she had divorced) that there was no chance of a reconciliation. She had around this time had further trouble from Wilmott-Brown, who had been released from prison.
As I say, there was some kind of celebration going on in the Vic when she returned. Was a character leaving the Square? As I recall Kathy did not say much, just greeted a few other characters.
When she returned in June 1992, she never once wore the black mac again but a thick grey trenchcoat and a white parka with a fur-lined hood.

By the way, I've never noticed this before (although I've seen the clip several times), but in the second Angie clip you put up, Debbie (Shirley Cheriton) is sitting at the bar wearing a grey raincoat with white revers, before setting off for the darts match. When they return she
is wearing a short grey overcoat, clearly not the same.
