Sally's funny, i knew she would cross the picket line. I agree it was a bit of a pointless episode tonight. I am loving David he's so funny trying to split up gail and phil. its a big week next week so it should be on top form. :thumbsup:

He should keep off the helium then :rotfl:

Katy

23-10-2005, 20:22

lol. Yeh he should.

I thought Hayley was funny when Mike returned. I thought it was a really good episode actually. It was very comic, especially when schmeichal knocked cilla off the chair.

shannisrules

good episode tonight ....go on ashley!

Good episode tonight. Danny and Mrs Baldwin were good, and that bit at the end where Danny takes his pain on the armchair was great. Johnny and Janice/Sally were good as well, and the Streetcars 'war' scenes weren't bad either. Only bad part for me was Kirk trying to emulate Pegasus.

6.5-7 / 10.

26-10-2005, 21:06

I thought tonights episode was very good. I think Bradley Walsh is such a good actor he was robbed at the NTA's. He was brilliant at the end, he was so angry and upset. I just hope he bounces back soon, i want the old Danny back!

Richie_lecturer

26-10-2005, 21:08

I agree, Bradley's brilliant and a really nice guy too having met him a few times. I voted for him as Best Actor and was also gutted he didn't get the award.

parkerman

26-10-2005, 21:08

Yes, I agree, Bradly Walsh was great. I've always liked him, even on Wheel of Fortune!

One thing I don't understand however, with regard to the Street Cars "war", have Steve, Lloyd, Eileen, Ronnie, Claire, Asley, etc. never heard of the police?

Richie_lecturer

26-10-2005, 21:08

Probably a fear of retribution.

Oh come on, I wouldn't go that far!

good but not brilliant!! :D

hellsbells

28-10-2005, 10:10

Well I personally think Bradley Walsh was crap in that episode. The ripping the stuffing out of the armchair and shouting in jerky sentances - well, it didn't work for me. Found it really irritating and unconvincing.

Richie_lecturer

30-10-2005, 17:11

Just a reminder for those who watch Emmerdale (as well as Corrie) but haven't visited the Emmerdale boards lately, Emmerdale starts at 6:50 for the next few Sundays, as Nick Park's Creature Comforts is on at 7:20. Corrie is unaffected and goes out as usual at 7:30. :)

kerry4nigel

30-10-2005, 20:14

What happened in tonights epsiode. Just got in and missed it all - anything good? Any danny/frankie/mike stuff?

Richie_lecturer

30-10-2005, 22:04

Was OK. Mainly focused on Cilla's Hen Night / Les's Stag do. That was quite good, especially Janice pouring a pint down Les's trousers! Also Mike offered Jamie a delivery job, much to the annoyance of Danny. Can't think of much else.

Tomorrow: The Battersby wedding. :eek:

Debs

30-10-2005, 22:44

Johnny Allen

30-10-2005, 22:53

Does anyone find it weird with Jamie's new haircut?, I keep thinking to myself who is this fella. Anyway funny episode, look forward to the wedding, but please Corrie can we keep the sight of Cilla's belly hidden, it's not nice when some of us are trying to eat a roast dinner.

dddMac1

31-10-2005, 15:55

i thought it was funny when Janice poured Beer down Les trousers

Absolutely Brilliant. Hilarious. Great script :rotfl:

Chris_2k11

31-10-2005, 20:14

lol, I've got to admit! I did have a giggle! Especially when Cilla just put the Barlows window through :D And also when they were all running out of the church! :lol:

lol! bless! the whole weddings funny :p

luna_lovegood

31-10-2005, 20:44

Oh this is too funny! I can't stop laughing! :rotfl:

My fave bits are Cilla chucking the bike through the window and then stealing the flowers. And the bit where they have to leave the church and they were all in the limo. The way the vicar slid in the car was hilarious!

I'm not liking sarah/Jason..........he should get back with Violet !

Chris_2k11

31-10-2005, 20:48

Fab couple of episodes tonight! :thumbsup: First time I've actually enjoyed Corrie in a long time! :D

i agree, for once corrie has done a good couple of episodes... i was cringing when les smashed up all of the wedding presents!

Johnny Allen

31-10-2005, 21:25

Great episode, give Status Quo there due, they were good sports, bloody hilarious.

Richie_lecturer

31-10-2005, 21:27

Great episode. I know reaction to tonight's episode is highly divided, but I really enjoyed this. Well done Corrie.

Though I am relieved that Corrie can move on from this storyline now.

chance

battersby browns lmao :rotfl:

great ending,nice touch with the credits

parkerman

31-10-2005, 22:03

Two really outstanding episodes tonight. That's what Coronation Street does best. Diggory's facial expressions were just brilliant.

Wedding of the year

Cilla and Les are a great couple, really great episodes

Keating's babe

01-11-2005, 15:47

I'm not sure it was wedding of the year, a more appropriate title would be tackiest wedding of the year. The sight of Cilla is enough to give me nightmares. :eek:

Funny though that Les ended up trashing his own stuff. :thumbsup:

Keating's babe

03-11-2005, 10:02

I'm actually going to miss Candice when she leaves. She has been a fun character and even though she has been a pain - it will still be sad to see her go.

Richie_lecturer

03-11-2005, 14:45

Same here. Still 6 years isn't bad going. :) Glad that Martin is about to leave though. :)

For the record, Candice leaves on Monday (2nd episode), while Martin leaves on Wednesday.

Streetcars wars also come to a conclusion at the start of next week, but that's all I'll say for now. :)

Chris_2k11

06-11-2005, 20:07

Good episode tonight. Had to laugh at Sophie! 'Kill the hat!!' :lol:

Richie_lecturer

06-11-2005, 21:54

Yes it was a very good ep tonight. :)

alan45

06-11-2005, 23:11

Loved the Kill the hat bit. Fantastic scriptwriting

Richie_lecturer

07-11-2005, 14:50

Yes that was very nicely done. Good to see the Webster kids get some scenes as they are fantastic, especially Sophie. :)

Scooter is now gone thank goodness.

Tonight's sees the showdown with the Claytons and Steve, and Candice's exit from the street.

With Martin leaving on Wednesday the next few days will seem like double revolving doors at Corrie.

Keating's babe

07-11-2005, 14:58

Shame they are axing Martin. Although you never know, he may be back.

Richie_lecturer

07-11-2005, 14:59

I'm delighted personally that he is clearing off. I did like his scenes last night with Gail at the end last night though. :)

dddMac1

07-11-2005, 15:10

good episode rosie and sophie made me laugh with kill the hat

Johnny Allen

11-11-2005, 22:21

Tonights episode was pathetic, not funny or clever.

Richie_lecturer

11-11-2005, 22:22

Thought it was quite good on the whole, bar a few scenes with Dev, Jamie et al.

alan45

11-11-2005, 23:11

Thought it was quite good on the whole, bar a few scenes with Dev, Jamie et al.

Fairly good episode but yes Dev Alaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahan is getting on my wick. Dont get me started about Slapper Sarah,

How :sick: inducing was the kiss between Gail and the foot fiddler :thumbsdow

Richie_lecturer

12-11-2005, 13:44

Yes I'm very angry that it is Sunita not Dev who is getting the boot. Yes Sarah is getting on my nerves too. Yes I don't like Phil the footfiddler and think this is a wrong storyline.....

Other than that it was OK. Loved Bradley smashing into Adam 'I can't act to save my life' Barlow. Shame he didn't suffocate him with a pair of Underworld underpants.

Richie_lecturer

16-11-2005, 20:08

Blimey does no-one watch Corrie anymore?

Good episode tonight. Sunita was fantastic again, acting Jimmy Alshan off the screen (not that that's a difficult task :rolleyes:). I find this storyline a bit odd in places though with a few caveats in it, which is a shame.

Sally was good too. Cardboard shoes = that was the nickname for one of the founding DJ's at Radio 1 - Keith Skues. Just thought I'd share that 'fascinating' fact on here.

Not many complaints apart from the Jason/Sarah-Lou yawnfest. Stick with the lovely Violet Mr Grimshaw.

7/10.

Chris_2k11

16-11-2005, 20:12

I really can't get into this storyline with Dev & Sunita :(

Hold onto your hats. Shelley is with us for another 8 months, til July 2006.

sean 4 eva

16-11-2005, 22:17

well it wont be the same without her i wonder who is going to be the new manager of the rovers

Richie_lecturer

16-11-2005, 22:23

I never liked her much really. To me Sally Lindsay was quite wooden at times and will be no loss. I'd like Bev as landlady, a no-nonsense type of person.

..and no, I do not want Bet Lynch back! :thumbsdow

sean 4 eva

16-11-2005, 22:41

i think they should make voilet manager as she has been there a while to

Richie_lecturer

16-11-2005, 22:44

Good point. I'd like her to be a good example of a young landlady. Whoever becomes landlady, please redecorate the wallpaper. That flowery designed wallpaper's been on the Rovers walls since the redecoration of the pub after the 1986 fire.

17-11-2005, 09:53

corrie reached a new low last night for me,it was making me cringe,the scene with sarah putting a plaster on jason,yuck and pathetic!

Richie_lecturer

17-11-2005, 14:20

I agree with you on that one. Well at least David finds out soon what's going on so I hope he tells all to Violet sooner rather than later.

Considering they are going out in real life, Ryan Thomas and Tina O'Brian seem to have zero chemistry on the screen. Am I the only one who thinks that? :searchme:

Richie_lecturer

17-11-2005, 14:43

Beware by the way, Corrie overkill is happening again next week (and possibly the week after etc). There are additional episodes at 10pm next Monday and Wednesday (and possibly next Friday) to coincide with the return of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. FFS I hope this stops soon. I'm fed up of ITV treating their soaps like crud.

alan45

17-11-2005, 15:02

corrie reached a new low last night for me,it was making me cringe,the scene with sarah putting a plaster on jason,yuck and pathetic!

I have to agree. Sara the slapper makes me want to throw :sick: . But then again she is playing the part of a lovesick teenage mum whose Mother is having her bunions felt by a foot fiddler. :rotfl:

Richie_lecturer

17-11-2005, 15:07

Not sure which makes me more :sick: out of those two.

alan45

17-11-2005, 15:08

Oh it has to be the tonsiil tennis between Gail and the foot fiddler :sick: :eek:

Richie_lecturer

17-11-2005, 15:09

Yes that is pretty bad. He looks as freaky as Robin Cook did.

Richie_lecturer

18-11-2005, 20:19

Very good episode tonight. Thought it started off a bit slowly but the second half was top notch.

Carol/Frankie/Danny/even Jamie scenes were really good this evening. Should be good to see how Carol deals with her 'disease'.

Sophie was brilliant tonight with her bilingual tongue. Loved Sally's line: "Wow for once I get compliments in two different languages" or words to that degree.

Tracy & Nathan - zzzzzzzzz Though Tracy's line about everybody in Roy's Rolls being undersexed was good.
Where has this boring feud between Tracyluv and Clurrrrr come from though? :searchme:

Dev - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Nice to see Fred and Leanne tonight, and to get a rest from slutty Sarah. Loved Leanne's line tonight about serving Carol some meths.

Liked Hayley's line to Roy too - "get it enlarged".......

7/10

Chris_2k11

18-11-2005, 20:41

I liked the scenes with Carol, Jamie, and Frankie tonight. Glad to see Coronation Street is dealing with a serious issue regarding Carol's drink problem. But I didn't think the other parts of the episode were up to much :thumbsdow

alan45

18-11-2005, 23:03

Overall I enjoyed it.

Chris_2k11

18-11-2005, 23:17

All of it alan?

alan45

18-11-2005, 23:23

90% of it

I think they will handle Carol's situation very well

Chris_2k11

18-11-2005, 23:27

I have to admit, I thought the parts with Carol were very good, and handled very well :) I didn't like the bits with Tracy and Claire though :thumbsdow

sean 4 eva

19-11-2005, 00:34

i miss the last episode but im surer it was good so carols back on the drink again then

Chris_2k11

20-11-2005, 20:05

Well I watched tonight's episode and have to say that I think Lynne Pearson is doing a fantastic job playing Carol. I find her portrayal of an alcoholic really believeable, and I think she's playing the part really well. I just hope she's staying in the show for a good while longer, as i've really grew to like her :)

dddMac1

21-11-2005, 15:45

good episode i'm not sure about Carol yet but i think i might grow to like her

Siobhan

21-11-2005, 15:46

good episode i'm not sure about Carol yet but i think i might grow to like her

she does my head in.. althought as a actress she is doing a really good job as a drunk/recovering alcoholic... I feel sorry for poor Jamie, i don't think carol will get help.. she is not ready yet

dddMac1

21-11-2005, 15:49

i feel sorry for Jamie as well

Richie_lecturer

21-11-2005, 15:53

Very good episode last night.

Carol was fantastic as an alcoholic. Frankie and Danny were good too, while Jamie was OK.

Another great performance by Sunita in a storyline which I still have my doubts about - I don't like the way it has seemingly come out of nowhere - very unlike Corrie. :searchme: Jimmy's acting was awful as usual. :thumbsdow

Nice touch with the Websters too. Liked that. :)

7/10

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prepare this week for more Corrie overkill: Extra episodes at 10pm tonight & Wednesday.

Siobhan

22-11-2005, 10:04

Was it just me or at the 10pm eppi, did it creep anyone out Gail telling phil to go upstairs and she will join him in a minute in front of her kids.. I know they are old enough to understand what was going to happen but still .... (shivers)... it just thought it was wrong...

darkangel1986@o

22-11-2005, 13:36

:angry: isnt sarah turning into a right slapper, poor violet!

dddMac1

22-11-2005, 16:15

yea i agree Sarah is turning into a right slapper.

Richie_lecturer

22-11-2005, 16:18

My advice to Violet in how to deal with slapper Sarah - slap her!

Richie_lecturer

24-11-2005, 15:01

It was a great episode last night, the best for a while. Violet found out about Jason & Sarah and was totally distraught. Started a new feud between the Platts and the Grimshaws. Brilliant acting from Jenny Platt, Sue Cleaver and Helen Worth last night, and Ryan Thomas was good too. Yana was also good. Only weak link was Tracyluv and Clurr's dispute.

It was a wonderfully written episode by the legend that is Jonathan Harvey as always. Just as well I decided to tune in to the extra episode in the end. Fabulous stuff.

Back to Jenny Platt, she really is an outstanding talent, born to play the role of Violet. She reminds me of many legendary characters from the old days of the street, like a kind of no-nonsense character such as Ena Sharples or Annie Walker. I hope Jenny stays in Corrie for a long time as she is only 24 and absolute golddust.

8-8.5
/10

Oh and the first ep of the night was good as well. 7/10 for that one.

Chris_2k11

24-11-2005, 18:08

I thought last night's was good too. Corrie's starting to get better now - than it has been in recent months I mean. :)

Keating's babe

25-11-2005, 13:06

I've not been watching the 10pm episodes as it's too much. It sounds like I've been missing all the action though. :thumbsdow

Violet is a great character and hope she gives Jason hell for cheating on her. All the grief he gave her when she kissed Charlie. :rolleyes:

Richie_lecturer

25-11-2005, 14:27

Never mind, I think the schedules for Corrie return to normal from tonight.

Keating's babe

25-11-2005, 15:08

Yay, good news. :D

I wonder whether Violet and Jason split for good. :hmm:

Richie_lecturer

25-11-2005, 17:26

I hope not, they work well together. Jenny Platt also raises Ryan Thomas's acting several notches too. Then again I wouldn't blame Violet for finding somebody else.

littlemo

26-11-2005, 23:15

I hope not, they work well together. Jenny Platt also raises Ryan Thomas's acting several notches too. Then again I wouldn't blame Violet for finding somebody else.

Me neither, I'm really getting sick of Sarah, she just won't take no for an answer. She has a one night stand with a guy and all of the sudden she thinks he belongs to her. It was clear from the start he was in love with Violet.

Violet is definetely a more genuine person. I do find her a bit nauseating at times but she's got integrity and respect for herself. Sarah should learn from her mistakes. And I do hope that Jason grows up a bit and realises that Violet is the best thing that's ever happened to him, and fight for her.

leanne27

27-11-2005, 19:25

i know the character tracy barlow is supposed to be bitchy, but does she never learn? only a few months ago she confessed to deidre that she loves amy so much because she excepts for who she is even though she's so nasty. Kt sounded as though she eally wanted to change but then she's eveil to poor claire again, why whats her problem with her?

Richie_lecturer

27-11-2005, 20:09

Tonight's episode was not that good to be honest. Some good bits, like Cilla & Yana and Fizz but on the whole a bit of a letdown.

Nathan - zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Molly & Kirk - zzzzzzzzzz
Tracy - zzzzzzzzzzzz

5/10

28-11-2005, 17:20

yep tracy just gets worse and worse sometimes its fun to see bitchy characters but now with tracy its run its course, shes way too nasty i want to slap her every time i see her! LOL

melanielovesdennisrickman

Yeah,i think Tracey has gone too far this time too,i feel really sorry for Ashley by the way,i hope everything will go alright!!

Richie_lecturer

28-11-2005, 21:05

Quite good on thw whole without ever being too exciting. 2nd episode better than the 1st imo.

What I liked most was Mike's latest dose of 'amnesia', forgetting to cash the cheque. Very well done Corrie and I like the way they are doing this long-term storyline very subtlely.

Richie_lecturer

Kirk is ok though prefer him when he is not in 'dim' mode, like right now. :rolleyes:

what happened tonight does anyone know. I was at parents evening.

Richie_lecturer

30-11-2005, 20:26

Well personally I think you missed another good episode tonight. I missed a bit of it after having to take an urgent phone call ( :mad: ) but what I saw was good quality. Poor Ashley, blind in one eye (maybe?). Great acting from John Savident as usual. Clare was good too.

Great scenes with the Websters once again, and enjoyed the little bits with Danny & Frankie and Emily & Bev.

What I would like to know is why Fred didn't bar Nathan and Tracyluv from the Rovers if he views them with such contempt? :searchme:

7/10.

EDIT: Nice bits with Mike too, denying any knowledge of the cheque when Penny found it in the wash. Another step in Mike's decline. Bit by bit he is losing it, and it's always the little things first. Well done Corrie. :clap:

Katy

30-11-2005, 20:33

ill have to catch the omnibous i hope Ashley isnt blind in one eye. That woulld be awful.

Katy

30-11-2005, 20:34

ill have to catch the omnibous i hope Ashley isnt blind in one eye. That woulld be awful. Mike really is going to get alzeimers by the way things have been going.

Richie_lecturer

30-11-2005, 20:35

I know. Just hope we don't have a one-eyed butcher back in business. :eek:

Keating's babe

01-12-2005, 13:18

Do Fizz and Kirk split up again then? :confused:

I think Tracy was brilliant when she first arrived but she has gone to far with the bitchiness that it's just not believable.

Richie_lecturer

01-12-2005, 13:29

They do but I think it's temporary.

As for Tracyluv I think the character is great, love the bitchiness side of it, it's just the actor who lets the side down big time imo. More Tracyluv mischief from tomorrow, this time with the Corrie bad boy, Mr Stubbs.

Richie_lecturer

01-12-2005, 13:34

Forgot to mention Sally's reaction when meeting Sophie's gobby rich friend Nicollette last night. Priceless. :D

What a wonderful episode last night, written by the ever reliable Daran Little. Loved the mix of oldies: Rita and Norris, Fred and Bev, etc. I thought Audrey rejecting Keith was very well done, very professionally written. Even Diggory was good last night (:eek: ), with a rare chance to do stuff that hits the emotional, sadly I doubt we'll see much of that side to this character, just the cringeworthy Benny Hill baker. It was good at the start too with Emily feeling glum about not going to the ball, probably missing her Ernest I think.

Also loved the Frankie/Danny/Leanne scenes. Danny realises he's blown it now. Poor Frankie stumbling across them too at the wrong moment.

All in all, superbly put together with the right mix of drama and comedy. Easily the best soap of the night in my house. :)

felt a bit sorry for diggory but i still sorta hate him, lol. maybe now his character will be a bit better?
the ball thing was ok, but a bit more comedy was needed.
frankie/danny/leanne was all ok, but just a bit silent, lol - needed a bit more action i.e. frankie and leanne pulling each others hair out :)
i really liked it how frankie just nearly gave in to danny but then gets this massive blow, felt so sorry for her though.

Also loved the Frankie/Danny/Leanne scenes. Danny realises he's blown it now. Poor Frankie stumbling across them too at the wrong moment.

I have to say I thought that was a bit contrived; it was like something out of Eastenders - Frankie just turning up at the wrong moment! Having said that, I think the three of them acted the scenes out superbly.

Yes, I thought Audrey was great as well.

Richie_lecturer

03-12-2005, 17:13

Yes I must admit that did annoy me a bit. That's happened a few other times recently, e.g. Joanne & Jamie kissing just when Leanne walks past, etc. I wish they'd cut back on it. :thumbsdow

Still didn't disdain my enjoyment of the episode though.

P.S. We caught a glimpse last night of Liz's new man, played by Tony Slattery. He was the one on the drums at the ball. :)

Is that the Tony Slattery whose real name is Ian Reddington and used to be Tricky Dicky in Eastenders?

Tricky was in it from about 1991-4 IIRC, so you won't remember him I guess.

EDIT: Just checked the EE website and found this (http://www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders/eastenders/characters/character_content/character_richard_c.shtml). He actually arrived in 1992, so my apologies for my above mistake.

Chris_2k11

Thanks Richie. Nope I can't remember him in EastEnders. Way too young lol, although I do think i've seen him on the television before somewhere...

Richie_lecturer

04-12-2005, 16:57

You may remember him in the film Blackball a year or two ago, the one starring Johnny Vegas. Tony was the referee in that film. He also appeared as a guest on BBC1's 'Spelling Bee' show a few months ago as well. I remember him way back in the 80s when he did work for the Cambridge Footlights.

Liz's new fella is Tricky Dicky from EE. Tony Slattery hasn't appeared yet.

I think Corrie has lifted it's game again with the Danny/Frankie storyline. Poor Frankie but she really needs to wise up and boot Carol out. Fancy letting her stay after what she did to Carol all those years ago. Surely you would know someone would never forgive a betrayal like that.

Sally was brilliant as always. Loved her snobbiness to Imogen "And what is it your father does for a living?". Rosie and Craig were great too. :clap:

Loving Fred and Bev. Betty was great too: "Passion meek on the cheek. Marriage job on the gob" and "Married by Easter, divorced by Christmas". Marvellous. :cool:

Kelly and Lloyd however bore me. Thank god Craig Charles has being axed. I hope Kelly follows suit. :rolleyes:

Very good episode tonight.

Johnny Briggs was absolutely brilliant tonight. Towards the end in particular he was absolutely outstanding.

Carol was great as well with her drunken entrance at the Baldwin's dinner - who all shined tonight (except Adam for can't act to save his life).

Nice scenes with the Barlows, in spite of the presense of Kate Ford. Fortunately she didn't have much of a part to play this year, phew! Found the Steve and Ronnie scenes at the beginning a bit odd, but ok. Blanche priceless as always.

Cilla/Battersby clan and the turkey was a bit silly, but fortunately they didn't make much out of it scene/impact wise so as not to spoil the episode.

Good scenes with the Websters and Peacocks as well - speaking of which, congrats to Squeaky and Clurr on their immaculate conception.

Good stuff from Corrie. Well done.

Good episode tonight! It was very funny with the whole Cilla/Les stuff, that joke about having a one legged turkey because it got into a fight was hilarious. We were all laughing until the end of the episode.

As for Mike I feel very sad for him, it's awful! He's always been such a great business man, and for somebody like him to go down that route. It makes it even worse. Jamie was kind to him, but I think his sons Danny and Adam should have picked up on it, and helped him.

Good news about Ashley and Claire, but they did drag it out for such a long time. I hate it when we know something is going to happen for weeks in advance, and then drag it out right until the end of the episode, like it's supposed to be some kind of surprise.

The barlows/peacocks/battersy browns just annoyed me...you can see how the quality of the show is lacking now, theyve had their couple of years of glory and now its time for eastenders to cease the floor in 2006!

A very good episode tonight I thought. Much better than Wednesday's.

Craig & Rosie were great. Sally and Kevin's reactions, while good, were a bit of a letdown. Still good entertainment though.

Bradley & Leanne were great with the Battersby-Browns.

The other bits and pieces were good as well, though rather let down as usual by the atrocious Kate Ford. I just hope she doesn't get a load more storylines for her final year in Weatherfield. Sadly she probably will. :rolleyes:

Rounding off 2005 for Corrie on a good note. It had a wobble during the late Spring/Summer/early Autumn but apart from that has still provided some good-very good entertainment this year, albeit not quite on the same level as the brilliant 2003-4.

What a brilliant episode to kick off the year last night :thumbsup: I loved the way it was centered around the Websters. Corrie has really improved in recent months, I can see 2006 being a good year for the soap :)

i agree! it was getting quite boring with all that rubbish comedy but a fab start to the year yay! :D lol sophie last night :lol:

The only things i dont like in Corrie at the moment are Liz and that boring boyfriend of hers and Jack posing nude storyline but apart from that its really good at the moment :)

i think the story with jack and vera is starting to annoy me it was funny at first but now and i think this story with rosie and craig is a bit silly there under age well rosie is for one thing you just dont go otu and sleep with the fist guy that says your special im liking franki and jamie i think they would make a sweet coupel

Tonight's episode was great! I am now officially glued to Corrie at the moment! Jack and Vera was quite funny tonight so was Sean and Violet. Great acting from Johnny Briggs tonight. He really is portraying Mike's illness very well and it was great drama also great acting from Penny. Also i thought Sally was being a right snob tonight. Good how they changed her character though and Emily's friend is looking as spooky as ever! 10/10 :)

2nd episode of the year and it is fantastic!

my new years resolution was to give corrie a fair try (i need not have this resolution as tonight was quality)

I loved the Johnny Briggs drama

and to balance it we had the Sophie bra drama and the insults to Hayley! :lol:

i really enjoyed the 2 teasppons of weatherfield tonight!

the Mike stuf was really saad especially throwing Penny out a little overreacting but ok. The websters really make me laugh. Sophie and her Bra drama was good. My birmingham relatives all think im like Sophie not to sure whether to take that as a compliment or insult. after the first few 2006 episodes i am quite looking forward to the year ahead.

I think the Mike story is being really well handled, both by the scriptwriters and by Johnny Briggs. After watching some of the tosh on Eastenders it's good to be able to see a touching storyline so well written and performed.
