I enjoyed tonight's episode especially Jason returning to try and explain things to Sarah, some good drama there.

It was nice to see Kevin and Craig bonding together.

Claire is getting really strange, this is a nice build up to the storyline that she will be involved in.

I still can't believe Maria is falling for Charlie!

Overall 8/10. :)

Id have been scared if i were Jason faced by the whole Platt clan. The brave boy. Charlie has such a way with words hes so evil.

Enjoying Corrie at the moment, espec the Charlie/Maria stuff and I even liked Sunday's where Jason came back.

I'm even enjoying Clare/Ashley and am looking forward to all this latest stuff with them unfolding...

Fizz, Roy, Hayley, Kirk all on form as usual along with Tyrone and Molly.

Oh how on earth could I forget about them! I thought it was funny when they were talking about Jason and blaming Eileen for the way he turned out, I thought Vera what about your Terry:lol:
I think that they are glad to have Molly/Tyrone living with them.

I find Kirk absolutely hilarious where Kirk was discussing with somebody (forgot who it was now, i think it was Fiz) if Jason need a wee or not..and then when Jason returned Kirk asked him "did you actually need a wee?" I found that really funny, Kirk is a good character. :)

Katy
23-08-2006, 16:07
Yes and i liked when Fiz was saying how they never did anything different so they walked home backwards. I thought it was really sweet there such a lovable couple.

Kirk and Fizz walking backwards?

Maybe they should change the show backwards too:

Street Coronation.

Return Rovers.

Bishop Emily.

nice to see some more Norris, he does crack me up, going of in search of the posters Jason did. Of course Fiz and Kirk are as always hilarious.

Loving Charlie/Maria, he really is a bugger and so is David:

"Wonder if Eileen has anymore sons!" (To sarah-Lou):lol:

Jason is being an idiot, why jilt someone when you love them, run and then return and try to win them back by plastering the Street with your undying love for them?? Finding this a bit silly now. On/off/on/off.

Kirk and Fizz as sweet as ever. Porr Fizz is really down at the moment as she is finding life monitonous and repetitive, unfortunately that is life whatever you do, who ever you are, you do do the same thing day in day out with a little variation from time to time.
Molly/Tyrone not a lot happening with them at the mo, but I'm hoping that this holiday with Kirk, Fizz and Maria will be screened, I think that it will be fairly commical if not hilarious!
Norris can be a pain in the backside and gets up my nose from time to time but I do like the character and find him very commical and witty. Always nice to see Rita/Emily and Betty who also had to the commical element of the street.

All in all Corrie is providing some good viewing at the moment.

I thought that was quite boring to be honest. I am not enjoying Corrie as much as i am with Emmerdale and Eastenders.

This Claire stuff is getting boring. I have never liked Claire anyway, she is boring.:thumbsdow

Glad to see Yana back.:)

Charlie is too predictable for me- as soon as i hear he is going to go out with some one, first thing i thought, aww he's just going to bully and minipulate them. It just gets a bit boring to be honest. I am glad he is going later anyway.:thumbsdow

As you know from my comments Clare/Ashley aren't exactly my favourites and I have been finding them boring reason being the Josh storyline it just dragged on. Now though they have a new storyline which I am finding very enjoyable. As far as I'm concerned Corrie has been very consistent of late and is producing some very good viewing with more to come.

I am finding Charlie's latest storyline enjoyable. Although you know he's going to torment his latest conquest you never know exactly what he is going to do or when he is being genuine. This storyline with Maria looks as though it could become very sinister with Charlie taking on a stalker/obssession like personality.
I have to admit Jason on his own is likeable and I am feeling sorry for him because of the way most of the residents etc are treating him. Mean what business is it of theirs anyway?

Looking forward to Corrie over the next couple of weeks espec with the arrival of the new family:)

Okay so I don’t really watch Corrie and people may have already come to this conclusion not sure. But in tonight’s episode I came to the conclusion that Claire maybe lying to Ashley an about her mother, being ill and is using this as an excuse not to bond with her baby or even look after it.

I am not sure if this is right it just a feeling I got from the look on her face when she said she will need a lot of looking after and it is no place for a baby
:hmm:

There is nothing wrong with Claire's mother. She is suffering from post natal depression. The storyline is being handled in an excellent manner

A good episode tonight..i agree that Claire with post natal depression storyline is being dealt with really well..i am liking this storyline, it's being acted out brilliantly.

The Charlie/Maria stuff was ok...good on Maria for not falling for Charlie's charms again :rolleyes:

It was nice to see a scene with Roy and Chesney. :)

Katy
28-08-2006, 21:27
Amber is a legend. I love her character i think her and Norris were Hilarious. She is a great addition. Her and Dev are brilliaant together as well. Oh Maria what are you doing with that BNasty man.

I really like Kym Marsh as well i think her character will be quite good.

I am liking this storyline with amber and norris. Strange pairing though. Corrie was its usual brilliant self tonight. Easy to see why its winning the ratings. Charlie/Maria/Toxic brill

Inspired double act between Doris and Amber brilliant acting and writing. No wonder Corrie is the best evenyhrough the summer when other soaps flag. Still very much enjoying the excellent Emmerdale. Glad to see EE gave up its hopeless farce of last week and is bck to its usual depressing self

Well i like EE the best- so what if it's depressing, at least it don't shy away from certain things. Corrie has still got a long way to go for me anyway. Emmerdale is good, but i personally wouldn't say excellent. The maria/charlie stuff is crap and predictable. Cant wait till charlie leaves. Seiously though i watched corrie on friday and it was terrible, and a reminder of why i don't "Hardly" watch it anymore.

Babe14
29-08-2006, 08:01
Really enjoying corrie at the mo, not as much as Emmerdale though. Loving the Charlie/Maria stuff. Fizz/Kirk as sweet and funny as always.

Cilla gobby and self centred as always. Poor Chesney can't use his PC yet Selfish Cilla can tan herself on her sunbed!

Looking forward to more great viewing to come this week and next!

Well moving on from the absurd and false post number 1019 two pages back, that was a reasonable batch of episodes.

I think the Maria and Charlie stuff is quite good.

Shame the Peacocks weren't in it last night though, but we shall see more of them later this week.

I loved the Amber and Norris scenes man, when he said why do you say innit I couldnt stop laughing. Could do without the scenes of Adam and Joanne, I couldnt really care less about them. I thought it started to drag towards the end as well, mainly because Tracy and Liz were getting on my flaming nerves, but I do like Michelle though.

Richie_lecturer
29-08-2006, 12:24
Adam needs to be put under the factory sewing machine ASAP. What a prize idiot he is. :mad:

Amber is good but needs to calm down a bit. She often goes a bit OTT with her 'street' pronounciations.

Everyone had there own tastes some like EE and Others Corrie. Like Jojomum says please stay on topic.

Cant believe Fiz was talking to Molly about breaking up with Kirk htey are the most lovable couple on TV. Please corrie keep them together. Closely followed by Tyrone and Molly. Maria is so stupid falling for Charlie again. I was so pleased when she told him not she didnt want to see her again.

DaVeyWaVey
29-08-2006, 17:52
A good episode yesterday..i missed the 2nd episode at 8:30 though but oh well. I agree that Norris and Amber are a great pairing and their scenes together are brilliant.

Charlie is turning more evil now..he used to be a manipulative womaniser but now he is stalking Maria and burgling her house!

Michelle is starting to grow on me as a character..i like the Fiz stuff with all of them on holiday too, quite funny in some parts.

Babe14
30-08-2006, 09:04
Nice to see Fiz and Molly becoming mates and putting the past behind them. I hope Fiz doesn't give Kirk the boot, she needs to sit him down and talk to him. Typical male behaviour spending the day in the pub shooting pool:rolleyes:

Still loving Charlie/Maria yes he is getting worse by the episode and you really don't know what he is going to do next or why!

I have taken to Michelle now she is showing potential. Vernon is a sleeze ball and I can't wait until Michelle has a bit of fun with him:D

Nice to see Steve as always.:)

tammyy2j
31-08-2006, 09:50
Vernon is a sleezebag. I'm liking Michelle i think is definitely one new character who will do well. I do like her and Steve together they def have chemistry. Her brother Connor is hot. As usual Charlie was great love him.

*-Rooney-*
31-08-2006, 19:48
how sad was it last night when fiz was breaking up with kirk, he just looked so sad - they made such a sweet couple.

An alright episode tonight, nothing great though. Liz is starting to get on my nerves now. Just what is her problem with Michelle? :searchme: I actually don't mind Michelle at all. Infact I think she's been quite a good addition to the cast. She's far better behind the bar than boring Shelley.

Fiz & Kirk annoying as ever. Really can't be doing with this pair.

Katy
04-09-2006, 09:38
i agree i like Michelle too and dont get Lizs problem with her. I thought it was sad when She walked away from the door without realiseing that Steve liked her. Thought Frankie was funny waking up with the hangover thats how i felt yesterday morning.

Richie_lecturer
04-09-2006, 10:42
I agree Chris, Michelle has been rather (if surprisingly) good so far. She reminds me of an EARLY Bet Lynch. Let's hope she doesn't go the same way as Bet did and turn into a drag queen/leopard lookalike.

Is that the end of Vermin then? I hope so. That just leaves Adam Barlow on the 'worst of the worst' hit list, and hopefully his departure will be soon, reading the spoilers. :cheer:

DaVeyWaVey
04-09-2006, 10:46
Michelle is a real breath of fresh air, i really like her character. I also don't understand why Liz doesn't like Michelle, maybe she's afraid that Steve will get more involved with her and Liz hopes that he doesn't. :searchme:

A good two episodes tonight, i enjoyed both of them! It cracked me up when Cilla was selling stuff on the internet and Liam and Michelle getting their wires crossed, Liam thought that Frankie was the transexual from the cafe, really funny!

The Claire stuff was really good, the actress who plays Claire is showing off her true talents in this storyline...she's brilliant! Her behaviour is getting stranger and stranger...and i can see this by watching her acting.

Babe14
12-09-2006, 09:54
Loving the Connor brothers and I particularly loved the way they ran rings around Adam. Can't wait to see them go head to head with Danny.

Liz/Michelle arguing is Karen/Liz all over again, enjoying it.

Liz she reminds me of Bet Lynch, particularly the other week when she was sat in the back of the Rovers with a fag in her mouth, blonde hair and a leopard print outfit on. Now that the awful Vernon has gone Liz is starting to become "interesting" again and she may be marked for Bet Lynch II.

Jamie/Sean/Violet situation, I have a feeling is going to become very commical. I feel sorry for Violet, she and Jason belong together just as Jamie and Frankie do.

Corrie has picked up a lot lately and with the addition of the Connors I think it will continue to shine.

parkerman
12-09-2006, 10:46
Yes, agreed. The Connor Brothers v. Danny should be worth going miles to see! :cheer:

Yes, agreed. The Connor Brothers v. Danny should be worth going miles to see! :cheer:

Babe14
12-09-2006, 11:16
At the moment Paul is grabbing my attention the most as I think he has a lot of hidden depth to his character and I don't think he is all sweetness and like either. Liam is a playboy type who is obviously being kept inline by Big brother Paul. Also the other night we learnt that Michelle had been in trouble in the past and helped out by her brothers. Paul is obviously the one who controls the "financial" side of things , he is very similar to Matt King in Emmerdale regarding the way he takes control of everything. A very very good idea of Corrie to bring this family in and I'm sure things are going to get very heated..

Yes I agree Claire/Ashley storyine is very good,even though Ashley still annoys me.

I forgot to mention that I am also enjoying Steve still and am pleased that it looks as though he will be involved with the Connors a lot in the future.

Looking forwrad to sitting down and watching last nights later, along of course with the wonderful Emmerdale:)

tammyy2j
14-09-2006, 11:29

I'm loving the Connor family at the moment hopefully we will see the mother as well. I think Kelly and Liam will get together in the future i think they have a love hate chemistry at the moment.

Brilliant acting in this well researched storyline. Thoroughly enjoyed last night. Have to admit Claire was not one of my favourite characters but Julia Haworth has proven what a super actress she really is. Top marks to Steven Arnold for his portrayal of the heartbroken and distraught husband.:clap:

Sunday's episode slow but enjoyable.
Everything is building up to the doodah hitting the fan. Unbeknown to them, Danny and the Connors have already met when he arrived back from Spain and they bumped into one another literally!
I feel sorry for Violet as Jamie is completely ignoring her even her hints aren't having any effect. Jamie is focusing on Sean as a diversion...

Me to, I keep looking closely at them when they are together to see if I can spot any tell tale signs. More to the point the burning question of whose baby arises? Also heard today that Bradley Walsh has flown off somewhere to see his wife with a single red rose! Bradley it's gonna take far more than that to fix things! Also there is a piccy of Debra with red eyes and wearing dark glasses apparently (Sorry haven't got any of it myself all goss Ihave picked up today):D

Johnny Allen
21-09-2006, 13:16
okay last nights episode was alright but I still feel that Corrie's flat. Jamie and Violet's relationship problem I couldn't care less about. I liked Danny vs Liam those two are funny together and I think that the love triangle between those two and Frankie will make excellent viewing. However somethings I'm just not liking too much Sean in recent episodes. Not enough Blanche. And the whole Norris and Rita pen thing is a joke, usually these two crack me up, but if arguing over pens and splittling and sharing things is all Corrie can come up with for two natural comic actors then Im unimpressed.

Babe14
24-09-2006, 10:58
Have to agree the last couple of episodes of Corrie I have watched have been very slow, there just isn't anything happening.

Guess Emmerdale is stealing everyones thunder right now!:lol: :p

DaVeyWaVey
24-09-2006, 11:38
I agree, Corrie is going really slow lately...i am finding the Jamie/Sean/Violet storyline quite boring...hopefully it will pick up soon. I agree Babe14, Emmerdale is definetly stealing everyone's thunder at the moment.

Bryan
24-09-2006, 11:41
I must admit I'm enjoying Corrie at the moment, I like the Connors and they are also giving characters storylines that I enjoy like the Baldwins, Peacocks and McDonalds, what I like about corrie is that its just normal, so its enjoyable watching. Whereas Emmerdale is very OTT at the moment, i love Emmerdale for this and its my fave soap atm, but its nice to tune into Corrie and see no over sensational storylines and OTT characters.

i thought that myself. You have to feel a little bit sorry for her. What aboutr Rita going on Holiday with Norris. haha.

Liked the scenes with Violet and Sean even though all she seemed to do in tonights episode was whinge.

Richie_lecturer
25-09-2006, 11:43
We haven't seen Audrey's house in yonks though have we, so it might have changed. :confused:

I didn't see last night's episode, but I thought Norris, Rita, Blanche and Emily were great on Friday. :)

Nice to hear Annie Walker mentioned on Wednesday. :)

Violet/Sean/Jamie. :thumbsdow

Why oh Why did bev open her big mouth especially to Deridre. !!!!!

Liam getting dumped by frankie. When she said "im going to dump him" i was like oh my god i havent heard that word in such a long time.

tammyy2j
28-09-2006, 12:00
So Tracey knows i wanted a better fight between her and Shelley. Did Bev really think Deirdre wouldn't tell Tracey she is her daughter after all. Expect fireworks when Charlie but i guess he had Maria anyway.

Katy
28-09-2006, 16:31
Tracy was classic, i love the mouth on that girl. I did feel a bit sorry for her as well. Deirdre had to tell her daughter. I wonder what Blanche will have to say on the matter if she finds out.

*-Rooney-*
28-09-2006, 17:32
I do have to say that its the first time in a long time that ive felt sorry for tracy barlow, well acted to kate ford. tracy is so blind to the truth even when its right in front of her trust her to find out about one of charlies infidelities causing pregnancy whilst hes awy with another of his women, no women deserves that not even her

alvinsduckie
29-09-2006, 01:47
I don't feel sorry for her at all. she's always acted like everyone needs to bow down to her, acted like she's in charge of everyone--i think that's the real reason she was crying. had nothing to do with loving charlie, but because she was losing to him..as he wont let her make him spineless. It's all mind games with her,always has been always will be:thumbsdow

29-09-2006, 21:29
Watched it tonight because i was bored of music, what a load of rubbish, i wish they would just get rid of Charlie forever is a monster ive never liked the man, im not fond of Tracey either but good on her for chucking him out. Shelly should go to the wedding regardless of what Charlie has done because shes come out on top of it all now and she should be proud of that not running away.

Johnny Allen
03-10-2006, 15:41
I tell you what I almost came close to switching the damn show of on sunday then mondays episodes were just as bad. It just seems to drag and drag, Charlie keep pandering over Tracy is very unlikely in my opinion, this guy would just drop her and run of with Maria or someone else for that matter. I hate the Jamie/Violet/Sean/Frankie saga. Thank goodness for Sophie and Blanche in yesterdays episodes.

Enjoying Corrie at the moment.

Charlie/Tracy/Maria love triangle, is really good and I just love Charlie he's a real rogue. He has certainly met his match with Tracy, although Charlie still has the upper hand.

Frankie/Jamie/Violet/Sean - Also enjoying, Sean is so sweet although he does grate on the nerves at times. I like the way this storyline is being done with a best mate fancying his best mate who is in love with his step-mum. A very different kind of love triangle. (seems to be the all round theme at the mo, one which I am enjoying) Poor Violet though, she does pick them. I've always thought that her and Jason were a good match and would like to see them together again in the futrue with a happy ending.

Another love triangle - Audrey/Bev/Fred (I'm glad that soaps/dramas are focusing on "older" love as well as younger love, I prefer the older kind) In this instance it is a case of not realising what you had until you've no longer got it. Or is it?:D :p

Good viewing with a good couple of weeks on the way:)

Rosie and Craig are doing my head in at the minute. Loved Blanche last night she cracked me up going on about Bev being an alcoholic, Ashley was so right when he was saying that Audrey was being selfish she really is. Glad Ashley and Claire are kind of back to normal. It was a good episode last night actually.

I can't believe Fred has gone :( aww. I liked tonights episodes. Humour in the first one. Yet sadness in the second. :( And well balanced too.

Richie_lecturer
09-10-2006, 23:05
Really enjoyed the first episode, not the second. Just like with Mike Baldwin, Corrie do a great build-up but fail at the final hurdle. Very disappointing.

Great acting by John Savident, Sue Nicholls and Stephen Arnold tonight, and from Susie Blake, although the latter got a dodgy script in the second half of tonight's events. Blanche and Norris also on top form.

What was that nonsense about with Dev and the phone though. There's a character who needs to go in a box asap. Where did the Duckworths and Betty come from anyway? They weren't in the first eppy.

Very disappointed in Fred's death scenes. Someone of his stature deserved a proper exit with him collapsing ON-SCREEN. I hope the bosses don't sleep well tonight.

I'm more looking forward to the funeral and the wake myself, which should be better, especially as it's another chance for Rita/Barbara Knox to sing. :)

Excellent first episode, disappointing second episode.

I'm just watching the omnibus and i'm sorry, but I laughed!!

Fred: Be happy, I say, be happy *turns, walks aways, bang, crash, thud*

It must have been a whopping great big vase though! Sounded like a pane of glass smashing, not a vase!

A pretty dire exit (just like Mike Baldwins). Is it to get them back for wanting to leave or something?! :searchme:

Edit: And why on earth has no one thought to phone Ashley yet?! Surely Audrey would have phoned him or something!!! I'm sorry, but very very dire! I'm sure I am supposed to be feeling emotion here, but the only emotion I want to vent is laughter!

Chris_2k11
10-10-2006, 00:18
It was all a bit sudden wasn't it?! You blinked and it was over. Here one second gone the next. I'd have much rather he died in the church to see everyone's reactions. Would have made it a bit more exciting I think.

The highlight of the episode for me was Norris & Blanche in the church! :lol:

littlemo
10-10-2006, 00:19
Audrey went in the police car to tell Ashley in person. I suppose she thought that would be best.

It was creepy the way Fred still had his eyes open when he died. I know that's realistic but it was quite chilling.

Some of those moments in the church were so funny. Blanche and Norris, oh my god! lol. I love that everybody needs to know everyone else's business. It's typical of life.

Jojo
10-10-2006, 11:31
Audrey went in the police car to tell Ashley in person. I suppose she thought that would be best.
Yes, but, you know hes dead - you phone an ambulance and then his next of kin - I would have phoned for ambulance and then tried to find a way of trying to contact Ashley. Audrey didn't seem to even think of it until the police officer was talking to her, which in reality terms, would have been probably 10-15 mins after he died.

I just found the whole thing a very disappointing exit for John Savident who was a larger than life character who deserved a larger than life exit. Like Chris said, him collapsing at the alter or something like that would have been far better.

Katy
10-10-2006, 15:09
i laughed to, its horrible but it was so funny to die like that. Ashley was really good. but like Ritchie said, Blanche and Norris the highlight. Also the whole church when they were trying to find out what was going on.

your not the only one to laugh, I havent laughed at a death scene since Dirty Den died in EE. It was just so funny to hear him make a murmur than the vase smash. Then when Freds lying there dead as a doodoo Audrey's 'Say something Fred' cracked me up even more.I was very disappointed though the first episode was great, Corrie on top form than bang it just fell flat, for a character like Fred to go out like that was a huge disappointment.

It was a great episode tonight. Loved it all apart from the usual pointless scenes with Cilla, Les, Fiz & Kirk. :thumbsdow Fiz & Kirk mainly, I hope they get axed sometime soon.

Wasn't really any need to have Charlie in that episode either, I think he only appeared in about one scene didn't he?

Ashley starting to get annoying. About time everyone layed off Audrey I think.

Blanche on top form as always. :D

Good stuff with Frankie/Jamie/Danny too. The Websters were OK.

I disagree about Cilla and Les. I think they're great and bring some welcome light relief to the Street.
Charlie's brief appearance could have been the start of a big story line. You never know! :)
If you think Audrey was responsible for Fred's death you're not likely to lay off her are you?
I agree about Blanche and the Baldwins...

Quite good episodes tonight. I feel really sorry for Audrey. Everyone is being really awful to her, she didn't do anything, not her fault Fred had a heart attack. Can't believe her so called 'friends' even more, as they're meant to stick by her, good old Ken sitting by her though :cool:

Bev is really bugging me. She hardley knew Fred, and yet she's shoving her two pennies worth in there :angry:

Really liking the Frankie/Jamie storyline. I really think Frankie does like Jamie, I mean who kisses someone that long, that passionately, after them declaring their love for you, if you don't! I hope at some point they actually do get together, even if it is wrong :D

Fiz on the bike was funny I thought, the episode neded some humour, and that gave it :D Also Cillas comment about Rita's singing :rotfl:

I comepletely forgot about the Chesney thing, but you're right. If it was the other way aswell, i'm almost positive Audrey would have stood by Rita. I don't think I was surprised by Emily, mainly because of the 'sheep' reason you gave. Cause Blanche and Deirdre were being sheep too. It's pathetic, acting how others were.

Corrie seems to have improved by the bucketload in recent weeks, I would go as far to say its the soap I most enjoy at the moment, I have been very into Emmerdale recently, but I think Corrie is just as good, if not better now. Love the Peacocks and the Baldwins! :thumbsup:

I think the Webster have for some time been the best soap family altogether.

It's amazing how they have turned Sally around, when she looked like someone without a future on the show. Now she is one of the best things in it. She's come a long way since being drenched by a passing van driven by Kevin in wet conditions.

Not just one major storyline going on but lots of small plots and stories interwoven together all heading towards a big Christmas climax. Top notch acting and writing tonight as usual. Its only a matter of time now before RATBOY blows the whistle on the crimper and the scruffy builder. The resulting catfight should be enjoyable.

Couldnt understand why Archie the Undertaker gave the ashes to Bev. She would not have been entitled to receive them as Ashley was next of kin, not her.

And even Corrie makes mistakes. I noticed the spelling on the newspaper billboard that NOZZER:D was putting out spelt JEWEL as JEWELL:nono:

Mr Humphries
23-10-2006, 21:19

I have found the handling of things post-Fred's death to be wildly inaccurate on so many levels. I am sure you can back me up on that. Very disappointing. Good to see Archie back though. :)

Actually Chris I thought the third episode was the weakest, and I thought the second episode the strongest. All three episodes were very much watchable though so they weren't that bad.

Norris/Rita were very good value as always, as was Audrey.

Sally's little chat with Rosie was good but I didn't quite buy Craig's all out efforts since he arrived in Berlin.

Best stuff for me went to Bev/Ashley/Blanche. Blanche in particular was in top form today from her scene with Bev, to that very good scene in the butchers where Maggie Jones showed she can play the soft-side of Blanche just as well as the comical side. Well done.

Jamie and Frankie - ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Send them to Budapest I think, rather than Norris and Rita, and make it a single ticket....

How did they get Fred into such a small coffin. And how did four men manage to carry the coffin. Why so few at the funeral???. But then again all soaps handle the death bit very poorly. Perhaps a bit more research is called for.

I enjoyed all 3 tonight actually. (Although missed a bit of the first, as never knew it was on) But anway.

Bev.. She is really winding me up at the moment. That was really not on, putting Fred into a gravy pot, for Ashley. Besides, Ashley should get all of him, not just half. Get rid of her soon please, only one ruining it.

Rita & Norris were funny.. loved Norris's little notes for Ken :lol:

Frankie & Jamie.. Still shamfully enjoying it. You can see Frankie does hold something for Jamie!

Kevin.. Did anyone else watch that Celebrity Darts thing on Challenge... Well Michael Le Vell was on there (and won), and I just can't watch him as Kevin in the same way any more :lol:

Two questions re-last night's episode.

1. Why is it, as last night, when the "girls" are waiting to go in to the factory you only ever see the full cast members sitting around on the pavement outside yet when they show pictures inside the factory there are others around? Do they come at a different time? The same applies to when they leave the factory at lunch time and night.

2. Sarah started a fight with David last night because she said he'd used all the milk, but it was quite clear there was about half a pint of milk left in the bottle when a shot of the table was shown. Has Coronation Street imported an Eastenders scriptwriter and/or continuity director? It's the sort of thing they'd do but you don't expect from Corrie.

Corrie has plenty of continuity errors. For a start the factory tripled in size overnight to the size of a football ground. The workers inside Underworld may have been on shift, and when they left the 'girls' outside would enter, but then all of them often leave work together. Very odd. :confused:

No idea about the milk. I had a call of nature during that scene. :o


As for the episode:

Frankie and Jamie - utterly repulsive. They aren't hiding Debra Stephenson's pregnancy well either, or maybe Jamie's impregnated two different people, as Violet's pregnant shortly. :cool: )

Vermin was predictably awful.

Steve was good, as was Liz.

Gail and Sally were good.

Michelle continues to impress.

Roy, Hayley and Becky were good as well.

All in all, pretty good :cheer: apart from the incest nonsense :thumbsdow

The one thing that annoyed me was everyone saying Bev has nowhere to go. What about Shelley ? Has everyone forgotten her already? It would be more realistic for Bev to go there ?

Don't like the Jamie and Frankie storyline either - and who is dressing Debra Stephenson (Frankie) ? Her clothes are awful ( and I agree with the pregnancy not being well disguised.

Otherwise enjoying Steve, Liz , Tracy and the return of Becky!!

Katy
17-11-2006, 15:58

Vermin is awful though, whos idea was it to bring him back, the thought of him and Liz the other night, put me right of my pasta.

Okay, so I must be the only Jamie/frankie lover :p Love them, thought they were sweet tonight, although I did rather cringe of embarrasment for them at some point. And Debras pregnanc..jesus.. at least with Jane Danson they disguised it well!!

I didn't like the return of Becky at first, but I quite like it now, she's quite funny at points.

I love Steve. But I really Hate Liz, Vernon and Michelle. So he's surrounded by crap characters in my opinion, he could do so much better.

Feel sorry for Violet. Poor thing. She only really has one friend, and he weren't that good to her, til the end of course.

Cilla.. I can kinda guess why she's acting like she is??
is it cause she may have found a lump? The way she seemed to chuck Les off her...

I'm really enjoying Corrie at the moment. Dunno what it is, but it's growing on me all over again :p

I really liked the whole jamie/frankie thing but i preferred it when jamie was lusting after her but i think frankie liking him back just made it too weird.

I used to like frankie but she's turning into a right deceitful cow 'doing' them both, father and son. Pick ONE! And end it!

Michelle is really likeable! And becky's one liners are great too but she can get annoying..

there is something about Becky i really like though, she's got that really difficult knack of being able to do cringe-worthy comedy. you can totally understand why hayley can't say no to her, but she still makes you go *hiss*!

and is it me or is Clare starting to look older now? ever since she's been in it she's looked about 13! maybe they're dressing her a bit better now or something, but she now looks at least old enough to go in the Rovers...

Like the fact that Tracy is playing Charlie at his own game but am curious to know how Clare fits into it all, part of a plan maybe...

One major disappointment though. VERNON IS BACK arrrrrggggghhh!!

Having just returned from holiday I watched the omnibus edition of Corrie and have to say that Im delighted with how the Frankie/Jamie/Danny story has developed. It really is gripping.

Like the fact that Steve has taken over t'Rovers but OMG why oh why did they bring VERMIN:sick: and Becky back. Even enjoying the Tracyluv and Charlie thing. Cannot work out where Claire fits into the scheme of things.

Gail's parenting classes are a hoot as is Doris in charge of the Kabin.

Darts match was good fun too!

I will actually be sorry to see Bradley Walsh leave Corrie. He has been great

parkerman

I agree with that, alan. Bradley Walsh has been brilliant.

Although the darts match was a reasonably good diversion, what I couldn't understand was how the factory girls (including Sean) were still close enough to the professionals to be able to win with that last dart. After all, it was only one dart that Paul deliberately mssed with. The girls must be extremely good darts players.

Thoroughly enjoying Corrie at the moment and just loved the way Paul stitched Danny up at the darts match. Me thinks that there is a lot more to Paul Connor than meets the eye..:D :love:

Loved the way Steve was stood drooling lustfully and longingly over Michelle.

Yes Danny will be missed. Also it will mean the end of the Baldwin era but I feel a new era coming in the form of the Connors:D

danny sort of dissapeared into the darkness. It was a good ending actually.

Think the Cilla storyline is really sad, its odd seeing a different side to her.

03-12-2006, 09:00

Babe14
03-12-2006, 11:21
Good week in weatherfield.

Liked the Danny exit, o.k a little bit sad him just walking off into the darkness but at the end of the day he got his just deserts as Danny started the whole thing when he bedded Leanne. Danny will be missed.

However we have the wonderful Connors to look forward to now, espec Paul "Pauly-Walnut"/Carla Connor. Liking these two very much at the moment and the banter between the two is great, although I think all that bling,bling could get on my nerves at times, but then it is just the equivalent to Danny's cockney slang and overall I like this new "lingo". I espec liked the cha..cha comment (and the little wriggle) from Paul in the restaurant:wub:

It is obvious that Paul/Carla get off on all the bantering and game playing between them,I'd say it keeps things "interesting":D

I'm getting the impression that Paul is the "playful and fun loving" brother and Liam is the more serious one out of the two.
I thought it was really funny when Kelly took a piccy of him in his undercrackers:lol: but what a bitch Carla was at the end to her:eek: (I think the "new"super bitch of weatherfield has just landed)

The Connors so far are starting to make a great impact on the street:D

I too loved Norris and his night goggles:lol:

Great viewing with lots more to come

Corrie will not be the same without Bradley Walsh he has been the star of the show for months and with him now gone and Bill Ward going I wonder where the memorable male characters are going to come from, heres hoping it will be the Connor's. The whole ';Paulie Walnuts' nicknaming from Carla makes it sound like Paul may well be a troublemaker, which will be interesting I also think shes going to be a great addition. But please Corrie enough of Jamie and Frankie now its just incredibly unbelievable and ridiculous.

I am certain that Paul/Carla will be causing a lot of trouble and ruflfing a lot of feathers in the street, all the signs are there, also I think that these two Connors espec will help fill some of the huge gaps which are going to be left. As we are starting to see they are playful, cheeky, "smutty", bitchy, ruthless and have what I would call a "power" marriage, both in and out of the bedroom, which they both get off on. I like what is materialising here as it will be a very different marriage from the norm and I can see affairs coming up on both sides of the fence and both Carla/Paul being very open to one another about it. Again another kind of "game" in their marriage.

Yes I really like what is materialising with regards to these two Connors "character Personalities".

It is going to be interesting to see what happens to underworld now that Danny has disappeared. O.K he has handed everything over to Jamie on a signed piece of paper but will it have any meaning?

Poor Claire she is so nieve, Tracy really has her right where she wants her.

Liking the Cilla storyline and her look without the slap, this is a much better type of storyline for the Battersbys one which isn't actually a comedy show. Glad that Yana is heavily involved also.

As I keep on saying Corrie is fulfilling it's promise so far...

Chris_2k11
04-12-2006, 17:24
How funny is this whole thing with Tracy & Claire? I couldn't stop laughing when she started screaming and shouting out the bedroom window :lol: It's definitely the best storyline going on in Corrie at the mo.

So Bill is back. I'm not up to date at the mo, so I'm not sure if this has already happened, but I think it's this week when that hussy Audrey sleeps with him?! :sick:

I have to say, even though the sad stuff with Cilla is a welcome change, I didn't like all the panto rubbish, her comments about Fizz never growing out her weight were pretty funny.

I just love Tracy at the moment and her fooling Claire and everybody else is just superb! I loved tonight's episodes, especially with the police turning up and Tracy kept looking at Charlie nervously before saying "No i don't want to report anything" i just love the way she acts around it all!

I found Danny's exit a bit dissapointing with him just dissapearing in the darkness, atleast they left the door open for him to return.

Tracy cracked me up too the other night when she was yelling out of the window, thoroughly enjoying this. :lol:

Connors were brilliant as usual, being fed a bit more about Paul/Carla.:D

Cilla is a different character now with her sad storyline of Cancer, have to say I prefer her like this, as a nicer person but still with a sense of humour and commical comments.

Janice/Sally are annoying. I love Fiz she is great and I'm liking Sean at the moment too.

Norris of course is hilarious as ever, another brilliant element of comedy, Norris/Rita.

Me too, am glad that Bill is back but dreading the return of Maureen. Still will make intersting viewing, again with "older" love and a nice triangle. I do love the way Corrie/E/dale are giving the older love a really good look in lately
Excellent mix of characters, storylines with Comedy, Drama, emotion and a bit of everything really. Acting is brilliant too from all.

Looking forward to watching the double later:D

Oh absolutely, handbags, big snug dressing gowns..toasters:lol: and of course head/shoulder shots a lot of the time. Debra is absolutely glowing even if we couldn't see the bump you can tell that hse's preggy just by looking at her, pregnant ladies have a certain look about them.

I've really enjoyed all the Jamie/Danny/Frankie saga as it has been a very different kind of love triangle with lots of twists and turns and we even had Sean in there fancying Jamie! In the end though I think things have come full circle...Looking forward to the conclusion of this saga over xmas and in the New Year.
Another saga I'm really enjoying at the moment is the Tracy/Charlie one which appears to be getting more and more dramatic..

Excellent viewing from Corrie right now.

Wednesday 20th December

Tonight's episode was great.

Sophie and her 'powers' is inspired - I bet the writers had fun!

If anyone is wondering what the 'knickers' reference was...

In 1980 Vera, Ivy Tilsley & Hilda Ogden went to France representing 'The Great British Worker' from Baldwin's factory. The group ended up getting drunk with a group of ex-paratroopers and Vera's knickers were flown from the town-hall flagpole!

I think sophie is great at the minute. Its funny seeing her scenes with the older cast memebers the first time she had her powers with Jack were brilliant scenes.

Elsie Tanner
21-12-2006, 23:28
I am struggling to understand the timespan of this 'diary'.

We have had moments so far from 1980, 1983, 1989 and this weekend 1990. Now, I am assuming that like most diarists Ivy would have started a new book each year, so we're looking at at least FOUR diaries, not just one as is being implied...

...Hmmmm......!

CrazyLea
21-12-2006, 23:33
Some people don't start diaries every year though?? :hmm: I know what you mean though, it is a bit hard to believe! Although I have to say, Sophie is really funny at the moment. Bless her.

Some people don't start diaries every year though?? :hmm: I know what you mean though, it is a bit hard to believe! Although I have to say, Sophie is really funny at the moment. Bless her.

Sophie is fantastic - such an asset...certainly the best of the younger cast! The Websters are easily the best family on the Street at the moment.

There are many 'issues' with Ivy's diary/diaries. The biggest for me is that Ivy was never shown to be a diarist, and she certainly did not have the temperament. She said what she thought and didn't write it. She aired her views in public or told it to the person's face. All else failing, she would comfortably tell her more 'private' thoughts to her priest in confession.

Coronation Street are lucky that the facts in the diary are backed up - there was discussion on another forum that Ivy never actually knew about Gail's intention to abort David, but this was proven to be incorrect.

The debate of Ivy as a diarist is a good one...it is believable for the purpose of the story, but a bit of a shun on the personality of what was one of Coronation Street's strongest women.

Elsie Tanner
22-12-2006, 20:06
So the diary is just one book, a book spanning over a decade!

Tonight we've had Suzie Birchall - I'd date that as being around 1979!

Also, what Rosie read did NOT ring true. There is no way that Ivy would have referred to Curly as 'Norman' whatsoever. It would have been Mr Watts.

DaVeyWaVey

Absolutely Brilliant. Just the right mixture of festive fun mixed with ordinary families at Christmas and Damien Platt. He threw loads of cats amongst the pigeons and rattled long dead skeletons in cupboards. He must be the most hated 16 yr old in Weatherfield. Loved the Bill Webster / Maureen scenes but the Platt/Webster Christmas dinner was pure genius. Well done everyone.

I shall admit that the past few months in Corrie have been amazing, quite easily my favourite soap but last night's episode was the worst of the top three soap's festive episodes.

I can appreciate the family christmas scenes and the attempts at real life, but on Christmas Day you want something a bit spectualr, soaps offer us shocks and suprirses all year round, but what happened to the Christmas Day episode being one that blows you away?

There were some funyn moments, and the David scenes were quite entertaining but I just didnt have the same feeling that I did when watching Eastenders and the fabulous Emmerdale.

At the moment I can't see any potential storylines that appeal to me nor any characters, apart from the Connors. I just hope Corrie can keep up the quality in 2007.

DaVeyWaVey

Corrie was the best out of the soaps last night, there was nothing explosive or eventful going on as such, but in my opinion, Corrie pulled it off perfectly, with Eastenders and Emmerdale lacking behind. It had the right mixture of humour and drama. It was really festive and it was the most realistic soap out of all the others. I loved the stuff with David and the diary. David is very conniving. Very good episode.

Coronation Street never goes for the "big Christmas Day" - it always focusses on families and normality.

Coronation Street has always played out its most dramatic winter storylines before or after Christmas. I could list many, many dramatic storylines which have taken place in December or early Janurary but NEVER on Christmas Day itself. The Christmas Day episode of Coronation Street has never featured a death. Stories such as Joe Donelli taking Stan & Minnie hostage , the death of Len Fairclough, the death of Stan Ogden, the death of Bert Tilsley and the culmination of the Alan Bradley story have all taken place in the early days of December.

The New Year and early January has seen Vera Lomax dying, Valerie Barlow's death through electrocution, the murder of Ernie Bishop, the murder of Brian Tilsley, the death of Katie McDonald, the death of Alf Roberts, the death of Dennis Stringer and Richard Hillman's murder of Maxine Peacock.

Coronation Street's main "big" Christmas storylines have included births, marriages and of course the departure of Hilda Ogden.

Coronation Street always shows normality and life-affirming stories at Christmas. If you want 'something more' then you're watching the wrong soap.

I am quite confused about the 'diary' - which seems to have spanned at least 12 years! I thought usual practice was to start a diary each year, but Ivy seems to have one big bumper diary which has lasted her from 1978-1990 (at least).

Also, I'm surprised that David hasn't read whatever Ivy had to say about Gail in 1987 when she gave birth to Sarah, not knowing who her father was!

I saw the omnibus yesterday and your right David stole the show. He is like the devil child. Rosie and Sophies faces were a picture. It was a mameroably day for them anyway. The best bit was the pudding going on the floor.

I also thought the pub scene with Emily, Noris Rita, Ken and Deirdre was good. Blanches seemed on fine form with her insults.

Corrie brilliant. David a real bugger, Bill/Maureen/Audrey great, Norris and Blanche hilarious, she never did have her row did she?

Steve adorable as ever, loved the fact that Paul my other "Adorable" as ever had the odd appearance.

Poor Steve is ever anyone was unlucky in love it is him.

More great viewing to come as certain situations on the street reach there conclusions and new crisis start.

I think you are confusing two different types of diary here. The diary that starts on January 1st and finishes on 31st December is the sort you write appointments in. The sort Ivy was keeping is better known as a journal and starts whenever you like and finishes when you run out of room in the book you are writing in...and then you can start another one.

No it is Paul (hence:wub: ) and Carla will be causing lots of probs with the knicker prod. Me thinks the factory will change to childrens clothes, making this the fourth change to it. Carla is livid with Paul because he has no money left for her business idea.

Corrie still good viewing.

ooh, i thought last night was heartbreaking for Violet. Jamie looked quite sad at the end of it.

Thought the bit with Janice and the plumber was funny as well.

I liked last night's Corrie too and I feel sorry for Jamie right now he is getting it from all directions, even from the:wub: Paul, he is so bad. (Not the cheeky nice caring guy we thought he was, well he is, but he is also a b/d but a very nice one. I just love the way his character is developing and what we are finding out about him, also his protectiveness towards Michelle and Liam. Yep I can see TROUBLE with a very capital T here! The more I see of Carla the more I'm beginning to like her and I think that her and Paul really love each other. Needless to say I am thoroughly enjoying ALL the Connors, they really are beginning to liven the street up.

Poor Violet she really is very unlucky and I'm looking forward to finding out more about her family history and past. I think that Liam and Violet would be good together for a while.
Really enjoy the Jamie/Sean scenes with all their ups and downs. Like Jason much better on his own without Sarah lou and the baby scenes were lovely.

Comedy as always with Noris/Rita/Emily and EVEN Vernon loved it when Steve dobbed on him even though he has dropped himself right in it with Michelle. Ah bless..:love:

Corrie on the up at the moment and has me wanting more, like all the soaps at the moment.

How could i forget Norris, he was so funny. What was he like getting all irate running around the street. I am growing on Michelle as well. She was a really good friend to Violet last night.

I enjoyed Corrie last night, Jamie is growing on me, he's an intresting characte and I want to know what direction he will be heading in 2007 now hes the only Baldwin on the street.

For once I cared for Violet, up until this point I haven't cared the slightest for her character but Corrie have dealt with her abortion sensatively, thumbs up to them :thumbsup:

Looking forward to another year in Corrie, let's hope it is as good as last year, as I really enjoyed life on the cobbles in 2006.
