Current Episode Discussion- III

[alan45]

well that was cracking, wasn't it!? lol, Carla is fabulous 'is there a bar in here!' and i felt really sorry for Leanne, it looked really scary in that car boot!
Thats obviously why it the UKs best SOAP

Just when you thought it was safe:rotfl:

Here is my essay on last nights Corrie

Wonderful episodes which kept me gripped all the way through.
Sean Gallagher was superb and Ijust loved him portraying Paul's unhinged and psychotic side he was so funny, not to mention extra sexy. :wub: We had some lovely blue eyes shots again "Swoon" :wub: It is a real shame that Sean has quit as there would/could of been some really juicy and big storylines following all this for months to come for him.
I will miss Paul:wub: but hope that Sean finds what he is looking for as he really is a fantastic actor especially in the "Psychotic and unpredictable" role.
Liam has grown on me so much over the past couple of months or so and the character (and actor) has come along way since he first appeared. I can see Liam taking the reins of the Connor family now and filling the gap left by brother Paul with some real battles with Carla. (Liam has already picked up some of those wonderful facial expressions from Paul i.e the tongue popping out of the mouth and licking the lips. I really loved it when Paul used to bite down on his bottom lip followed by one of his tongue movements, he would either touch his top lip with it,stick it out of the side or curl it onto the bottom lip, we even had a cheeky tongue roll back into the mouth at times!!
Carla (Alison) like Liam has and is really growing on me. We really saw what a bitch she is last night and during Sunday's episode. From what she said to Michelle about never wanting to be part of the family it gave me the impression that she never loved Paul only his wallet. I can see Carla and the Connor's going up against one another now that Paul has gone epescially as she will get all of Paul's dosh now!
There have been moments during the past three episodes where I have hated Carla for the names she called Paul but on the other hand you can understand why. It is nice to actually see some emotion coming through from her now. Also she has Paul's sense of humour, some lovely commets from her:

"If he's not in enough pain then we can pull his tubes out":rotfl: Alison/Carla as I suspected is really coming into her own now as is Liam.

I'm glad that we got to see one final scene between Ryan and Paul, a really lovely one, which reminds me why hasn't anyone told Ryan about Paul's crash?

So whose to blame for the tragedy:
Carla for breaking Paul's heart and telling him their marriage is over which finally pushed him over the edge.

Leanne for not being honest about what she really does.

Liam for making that final call to Paul on his mobile which caused him to crash.

Then Paul has to take some of the blame as he was driving under the influence, he undid his seat belt whilst reaching for his mobile during which he didn't see the red light and crashed..

The crash was excellently done and very dramtic with more than one factor contributing to it. Only Corrie can knock out something so spectacular.

Deirdre/Ken scenareo wearing a bit thin. I defintely prefer Ken on his own.

David a little bugger as usual.

Liz/Derek now I quite liked Derek but now I'm not so sure and after seeing Derek/Liz/Vernon/Linda all together the other night it made me see Liz/Vernon in a different light..I actually like the two of them together now. Vern has grown on me! He would make a great hubby for liz:eek:
Steve great as usual although I think he is being a bit self centred at the moment with wanting to be alone with Michelle when there are more pressing things happening..

Very sad but fantastic viewing. Wednesday will be a very emotional episode, as will the aftermath both of which I am looking very much forward too.

I am gutted at the loss of such a great character whom we were only just starting to get to know, there was huge potential here. Still it's great for Sean as he really has gone out on a high.

P.S Sean/Paul fans one good thing to come out of this, is that we finally get to see that lovely body:wub:

P.S LOL! Richie/Crazylea - That's not really Paul laying in that bed or in the car it is his stunt double. We have eloped on that Police motorcycle:rotfl:

Here is my essay on last nights Corrie

Wonderful episodes which kept me gripped all the way through. Me too
Sean Gallagher was superb and Ijust loved him portraying Paul's unhinged and psychotic side he was so funny, not to mention extra sexy. :wub: We had some lovely blue eyes shots again "Swoon" :wub: It is a real shame that Sean has quit as there would/could of been some really juicy and big storylines following all this for months to come for him.
I will miss Paul:wub: but hope that Sean finds what he is looking for as he really is a fantastic actor especially in the "Psychotic and unpredictable" role.You will understand that I dont share your LUST for Paul/Sean, Its a hetero thing, I agree with you that I will miss him as a fantastic actor, Psycho Paul was so believable last night
Liam has grown on me so much over the past couple of months or so and the character (and actor) has come along way since he first appeared. I can see Liam taking the reins of the Connor family now and filling the gap left by brother Paul I just hope he manages to stick with Leeanne. They were a great couplewith some real battles with Carla. Yes the blame game should be fun(Liam has already picked up some of those wonderful facial expressions from Paul i.e the tongue popping out of the mouth and licking the lips. I really loved it when Paul used to bite down on his bottom lip followed by one of his tongue movements, he would either touch his top lip with it,stick it out of the side or curl it onto the bottom lip, we even had a cheeky tongue roll back into the mouth at times!!
Carla (Alison) like Liam has and is really growing on me. You will forgive me for not paying as much attention as you to his facial nuancesWe really saw what a bitch she is last night and during Sunday's episode. From what she said to Michelle about never wanting to be part of the family it gave me the impression that she never loved Paul only his wallet. I can see Carla and the Connor's going up against one another now that Paul has gone epescially as she will get all of Paul's dosh now!

"If he's not in enough pain then we can pull his tubes out":rotfl: Alison/Carla as I suspected is really coming into her own now as is Liam.I can seee battles ahead regarding the knicker empire. At least the company expenses for PROfessional SEXreterial Services should be well down. It will be interesting to see who she foirst ends up in bed with, probably Liam, maybe Steve or perhaps even the suave corner shop entreprenaur Mr Devvvvvvvvv Alaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. Think Roy Doris and Vermin are safe

I'm glad that we got to see one final scene between Ryan and Paul, a really lovely one, which reminds me why hasn't anyone told Ryan about Paul's crash?Awwwwwwwwww you are sentimental

So whose to blame for the tragedy:
Carla for breaking Paul's heart and telling him their marriage is over which finally pushed him over the edge.

Leanne for not being honest about what she really does.

Liam for making that final call to Paul on his mobile which caused him to crash.

Then Paul has to take some of the blame as he was driving under the influence, he undid his seat belt whilst reaching for his mobile during which he didn't see the red light and crashed..

The crash was excellently done and very dramtic with more than one factor contributing to it. Only Corrie can knock out something so spectacular.He was the architect of his own downfall. You would think a rich succesful businessman with a 40 grand motor could afford blutooth

Deirdre/Ken scenareo wearing a bit thin. I defintely prefer Ken on his own.Yes Drearys neck starting to annoy me. Its not so long ago when she was the street bike. Its a bit much her gurning about Ken going to stay with the mother of his kid. After all he looked after Traceyluv for long enough

David a little bugger as usual.Damian Platt the devil pesonified, spawn of Satan. Brilliant

Liz/Derek now I quite liked Derek but now I'm not so sure and after seeing Derek/Liz/Vernon/Linda all together the other night it made me see Liz/Vernon in a different light..I actually like the two of them together now. Vern has grown on me! He would make a great hubby for liz:eek: No lets not get carried away here. Vernon is only slightly less sleazy than Derek. Liz proved what a real slapper she is. Bring back Big Jim. This is a timebomb waiting to explode.
Steve great as usual although I think he is being a bit self centred at the moment with wanting to be alone with Michelle when there are more pressing things happening..I dont blame him I wouldnt mind being alone with Michelle. Kym Ryder (unfortunate name) is doing really well now

Very sad but fantastic viewing. Wednesday will be a very emotional episode, as will the aftermath both of which I am looking very much forward too.Just like 10 million others

I am gutted at the loss of such a great character whom we were only just starting to get to know, there was huge potential here. Still it's great for Sean as he really has gone out on a high.

P.S Sean/Paul fans one good thing to come out of this, is that we finally get to see that lovely body:wub: Suppose you want a special late night showing of him NAKED on the mortuary slab

P.S LOL! Richie/Crazylea - That's not really Paul laying in that bed or in the car it is his stunt double. We have eloped on that Police motorcycle:rotfl:I know you will be very happ together

Welcome back Babe I have missed your wonderful essays.

[Babe14]

Aww Al you are lovely. I didn't know I was being missed so much:) I'm just trying not to post too much and concentrate on other things.

I have to admit I do get a bit involved with my programmes and there isn't much I don't notcie! My probem is once I get the bit between my teeth I can't stop:lol: , espec if I am enjoying something or someone!

Corrie really has me gripped at the moment, things look as though they are going to be a bit on the quiet side in the coming weeks but things still look very good.

I can't praise Corrie or the writers or the producers enough for the excellence they are churning out right now, not forgetting the superb acting.

Enjoyed reading your comments, complete as always with humour in the above.:)

P.S As for who Carla will bed first I would say definitely Liam, but think it will be a one off comfort thing following on from the revelations about Leanne and Paul's death

Speaking of which, there was an error in the script last night when Carla told Liam/Michelle and Steve that Paul was Leanne's no1 customer, this is incorrect as he was mine:rotfl: :wub:

[parkerman]

Thats obviously why it the UKs best SOAP
I can't really add to the excellent posts by Babe and alan, except to agree with the above comment by alan. When you compare the writing, production and acting of Corrie to Eastenders...well, there is no comparison.

[Richie_lecturer]

Derek was only looking for his gnomes, with Mavis's permission. I'm sure Liz would understand if he just told her.

[Babe14]

What a heartbreaker most of which I was watching through tears, espec when Michelle started.:crying: :crying: :crying:

Well done Corrie and espec well done to the lovely Sean for making a character have such an effect on me. I really hope Sean finds what he is looking for, he will be missed:(

Liam he blew my socks off once again, infact he blew them right into orbit and back, he was fantastic and there will be no problem with him filling the gap left by Paul. When Liam was throwing Leanne out of his house I thought that Paul was back, that was so Paul. I'm hoping that some of Paul's charactistics will start to come through Liam now, that he will become a bit of a ruthless b/d, that his character will become a bit darker and he will go off the rails slightly in the aftermath of Paul's death.

It was lovely to see Carla in bits and I so loved the final Paul/Carla scenes, I just knew that she loved him really:wub: I wa so jealous after Paul had died and Carla(aAlison) had her head on his lovely body:wub: :love: I would of given anything to be her right then:lol: Also I liked the way she went hysterical and started shouting at Paul after he was covered with the sheet.
Corrie did a great job in following Paul's crash through, from the rescue to the casualty like hospital corridor scene on admisson complete with details, to Paul's passing away, untubed (Naked "Drool") and covered with a sheet and kept the whole thing interesting and didn't turn it into a "Boring" hospital scene.
Loved Steve persauding Michelle to go to Paul he was so lovely. Michelle should never of left the hospital, no matter what, when her brother was at death's door, still now she is the one who will have to live with the "guilt"
I again filled up when the Connors arrived back on the street and Ryan was playing footie in the street and Michelle was in tears and told him she had something to tell him. This is an ideal opportunity to use Ryan more and give him a storyline in the aftermath i.e he could become a bit Damienish for a bit.

Leanne I feel sorry for as this time she is innocent but she has to take her fair share of the blame for Paul's death, she should of been upfront. However it was actually brother Liam who killed his brother,something he will never know as it is only us the viewers who know about that fatal phone call...
I have notcied that it is not only Liam who is becoming Paulish but Carla also as she is hitting the bottle just like Paul used to when the going got tough.
If both Liam and Carla's characters were to become darker with Liam being a ruthless b/d and Carla the bitch from hell then we could have some real fireworks between these two.

Kelly I absolutely hate now she was such a heartless, insensitive b****! I cannot wait for Janice to smack her one and I am no Janice fan either, but I will love her for this

Excellent once again. Corrie and it's twin are positively glowing this week.

[parkerman]

Leanne I feel sorry for as this time she is innocent but she has to take her fair share of the blame for Paul's death, she should HAVE been upfront. However it was actually brother Liam who killed his brother,something he will never know as it is only us the viewers who know about that fatal phone call...



A great summary, Babe, but I have to disagree with you about whose fault it was. Paul has no-one to blame but himself. He got himself in to the situation in the first place by his actions over the years and, as he was driving, he should have just let the phone ring and not try to answer it. You can't lay any of the blame on Liam. Also, I have no sympathy at all for Leanne after what she did to Liam.

Thanks:) O.K I agree Liam can't really be to blame but it is just what I think we were suppose to think for if Paul's mobile hadn't of rung he may well of never crashed. Liam along with Ryan was the only one who never turned his back on Paul no matter what he did or had done. I agree Paul should of ignored it but he wasn't thinking straight he had flipped out and perhaps he thought it may of been Carla?? Again I agree about Leanne she lied to Liam but everyone thinks that she slept with Paul but she never did.

Paul was in the wrong he shouldn't of been driving under the influence and would of thought he would of learnt the hard way on that one, he shouldn't of been using escorts when he was suppose to be happily married and he had without a doubt psychological problems following Dean's death and this is where I feel things started to go badly wrong for him. The Escort business I think was Paul's escape from "reality" for a bit, somewhere he could go and talk without being judged, critised or any arguing, but at the same time I can't help thinking he got a kick out of sleeping with "Escorts" for at the end of the day Paul did have this darkness within him, which of course made him the fantastic character he was.

Unfortunately I have to agree Paul did at the end of the day contribute greatly towards his own fate but there were a lot of factors contributing to this which caused him to totally flip out and self destruct.

Just something I notcied Paul had been in surgery all night,so where were all the stitches and tape??

[Abbie]

I thought it was a good episode last night, I cried when paul died but it wasnt because of paul's death as such cos I didnt like him, it was sjust when michelle came in and was crying that got me started.
David is such an idoit,he jumped at the chance he had with gail in that conversation to be able to not do anymore of exams cos of the way she put it

[tammyy2j]

So long Paul, Sean Gallagher will be missed a great actor and character. A great episode you can see why it won Best Soap. I think Liam/Carla getting together will happen whether as a one night stand or relationship also i hope it brings Carla and Michelle closer as friends i like their friendship. Poor Leanne messed up another relationship and how unlucky for her that Kelly heard. Should be fireworks on the street on Friday when she tells everyone about Leanne's job. :cheer: :cheer:

[Katy]

he really is a plank isnt he. I have never like David. In fact im not that a big fan oif the whole of the Plats.

It was really sad when he died, but for Leanne and Liam, The factory, Carla, and Michelle. What got me was when she went over to Ryan.

[Babe14]

Some lovely posts on here and it looks like most of us were in tears last night mainly started off by Michelle (Kym), have to admit Liam got me going too espec in the factory scene.:crying:

Also looks like Paul/Sean was loved by most of us and is going to be greatly missed. I know I will miss him, still I have great expectations for Liam who I am sure is going to bed Carla, as she will him but I feel sure it will be out of grief for Paul and for comfort.

Although I said I feel sorry for Leanne, mainly because this time she is being accused of somthing she didn't do, but I will enjoy her come uppance after waht she has done to the Connors, mainly of course Liam. Again Leanne has torn another family apart, again through lies and betrayal only this time a lot worse, she contributed towards the death of a brother, husband and uncle.

[Abbie]

That true but if Paul hadnt been a cheater in the first place then he would of nerv been in the situation in the first place

[Babe14]

Leanne was also a cheater as she was doing the dirty on Liam, so it could be said that if she wasn't cheating then she too would never of been caught out either.
Both Paul and Leanne were doing exactly the same thing at the end of the day, except that one was selling the other was buying and it was very unfortunate for both that they caught one another out. I did love those scenes when it first came about they really were lovely between the two.
They were both in the wrong and must both except the majority of the blame as to where they have now ended up.
With Paul it was all about protecting his family no matter the cost, only this time it cost him his life.
Leanne again the "protection" factor could be applied in the way that she was protecting herself from being hurt because what she was doing there was no attachment, no feelings involved. Unfortunately at the end of the day both Paul and Leanne have self destructed only it has just cost Leanne her happiness with Liam.

[Chloe]

Some lovely posts on here and it looks like most of us were in tears last night mainly started off by Michelle (Kym), have to admit Liam got me going too espec in the factory scene.:crying:

I agree - Michelle and Ryan got to me. The factory scene also got me going - I thought Hayley was good, you could tell she just wanted to run up and give Liam a big hug, but was thinking 'is it right to cuddle the boss' ?

[angelblue]

Hey quick question was Leanne blackmaling Paul :hmm:

[alan45]

Am I the only one with any sympathy for Leeane. The Tart with a heart

[Chris_2k11]

A bad performance from Kym Ryder yesterday, i've been enjoying her up to now but didn't buy any of that crying last night

[Babe14]

Hey quick question was Leanne blackmaling Paul :hmm:

It depends how you look upon it. In a way both Paul and Leanne were blackmailing each other in the sense that they both threatened to tell their respective partners if one or the other blabbed. Paul and Leanne did a deal in the hotel room and agreed not to say anything. However Liam was getting more and more serious about Leanne which led to Paul becoming more and more wound up because he didn't want Liam getting hurt, again here we have the "Protection" factor with Paul another factor contributing towards his "Unhinging". This is why Paul wanted rid of Leanne plus of course he didn't like the fact that she knew his "dirty" little secret and had a hold over him. Then of course she became matey with Carla, winding Paul up even more and then they were going to buy the restaurant together, again turning that key in Paul's head:)

[Babe14]

Am I the only one with any sympathy for Leeane. The Tart with a heart

I agree she is a tart with a heart and as I have said earlier I do feel sorry for Leanne but not entirely as I feel she has brought her misery upon herself by not being honest with Liam and weaving a web of lies not only with Liam but with the other Connors (except Paul of course) which contributed to pushing Paul over the edge.

Leanne like Paul had/has emotional issues, hers being the famous Baldwin love triangle which messed her up and is the reason she turned "Escort" for protection and money and has led to her downfall. The reason why I am looking forward to her comeuppance is because up until the other night she was golden girl and Paul was bad boy now the tables have turned on her..

[alan45]

Poor Leanne had given up her escort business because she fell in love with Liam. It was only when she got the chance to get into a honest business with Carla that she returned to the game as Rachel to earn £20000 to set herself up in the Restaurant business. Paul is still the bad boy. He already killed one person with his drunkeness. He was married to a stunner like Carla and still spent £250 a time on Secretarial Services. He would still have been shag**g around had Rachel not turned up.

He would still have been shag**g around had Rachel not turned up.

Yes Paul was a bad boy and yes he would still be screwing around, he was a game player, it was all part of his wonderful character, although I truely believe he would of stopped once Carla found out. Paul's "Prozzy" habit was a bad one which he admitted but I beleive it was also somewhere he could go for "Paul" time and I don't just mean for the sex. On the other hand if Sean had stayed on, with Paul's marriage being over with etc I beleive he would of got a whole lot worse and used the "escorts" more.

There are other ways to get money other than on your back, like a bank for example. O.K Leanne did have all good intentions of giving up the "Escorting" and making an honest living, making herself a better person for the man she loved but it was her get rich quick scheme that contributed greatly to the heartache for the Connors and I don't just mean Paul's death. Also she is causing Janice a lot of heartache who loves her and worries herself sick about her. I think Liam has done the right thing telling her to get lost because of her lies, but he isn't thinking straight right now, no where near,maybe when he starts to come to terms with what has happened he'll be a bit more understanding. Perhaps one day he'll find it in his heart to forgive her, as he always did Paul, and give their realtionship another go. I can see these two as the new Pau/Carla with regards to the fiery and torublesome relationship, another match made in heaven.
O.K Leanne is in for a rough ride and I will enjoy it but I will probably end up feeling sorry for her as she is another of my Corrie favourites but it's not all bad apparantly Leanne ends up runnng the Pizza restaurant and struggles but along comes Paul Duckworth who helps her out with his chefing skills,(just hope that all he helps her out with and the only kind of business she does with him:lol: )

[alan45]

What has happened Corrie. Its becoming as inaccurate as that other soap regarding Death. Paul died on Wednesday and by Sunday they were flying him to Ireland for a funeral.

Now in Real Life

1. The Coroner would be informed (have you tried contacting and English Coroner on a FRiday afternoon)
2. A post Mortem would take place
3. An inquest would be opened Because Mr Connor died as a result of an accident
4. THe coroner would have to sign and out of Country Order to allow the body to be moved from England to Ireland (even to Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland which at present are still in the UK)
5. The Funeral Director would have to make arrangements with an airline to transport the body. (The budget airlines dont normally do this) Besides it take a couple of days to organise with BA, BM or Aer Lingus


To be fair I slated EE over its speedy deaths so its only but fair I point out the inaccuracies in the Award winng Coronation Street

[Babe14]

In countries abroad the funeral takes place the next day, which I think is much better than having to wait a week.

Now this is a soap we're talking about and things aren't meant to be 100% accurate, it would be very boring if they were and I believe that Paul's funeral won't be taking place in Ireland until Wednesday. (Shame we don't get to see it, it would of been nice, espec as it is taking place in the lovely country of Ireland) so what I'm getting at here is that Paul could of died on any day of the week and any amount of time could of passed between now and then and to be fair Corrie, or any other heavy scheduled programme haven't really got the time to pay attention to every little detail, so we just have to accept that and at the end of the day it is only "make believe"

Thank you for the information and your wonderful opinion on the matter.:)

A fantastic week last week on the Cobbles and another fantastic start to yet another great week.

Blanche was on form last night and I just loved the emotion on her face in that end scene after Ken/Deirdre made up for the 1000th time, it was so lovely.

I have decided that I would like Liam/Carla as a couple they do look good together and feel sure that Paul would approve. Sorry but have no sympathy for Leanne at the moment but Janice seems a little bit better.
Nice to see young Ryan again and enjoyed the scenes with Steve, somehow though I get the impression that Liam wasn't to happy about Steve giving Ryan that cash. Suppose he was thinking about Paul just then as he was the one who always gave Ryan cash.

Eileen/Lloyd great.

Quite enjoyed the girls nightout in the Italian.

[Abi]

What really annoyed me about yesterdays episode, is that the exam he did was nothing like what it actually is like. They dont just say "Has everyone got an exam paper? Yes? Good. You have a hour, now start". They go through reading all the front out, checking no one has a phone etc. I hate it when they dont do their research hahaha!!

[Chris_2k11]

I had to laugh at that teacher when david set his paper alight "now stay calm everyone don't panic!!!"

you'd think the whole room was on fire the way she was going on

[Richie_lecturer]

That doesn't always happen. I have occasionally witnessed an invigilation recently and there have been no requests for phones to be turned off (I think the students have got the message by now!). It also depends what exams they are taking - for example you'll have several different exams of differing times taken in the same room (they all start at the same time, but some leave earlier than others).

As for burning an exam paper, well I don't think the teacher sees that every day and was unsure about what to do. It's a bit more unorthadox than a fire alarm going off for example.

[Katy]

I thought it was brilliant when David set his exam paper on fire, i reckon there will be at least one person in the country who sets fire to the exam papers and they will look for lighters.

[Chris_2k11]

Corrie seems to have gone into dull mode after a good few months. Last night's episodes were boring. The Blanche thing was stupid and not funny. Nothing else was that good either. Leanne/Janice stuff was ok but nothing special. Nice to have a break from whiny Claire though, she's getting very annoying! Hope to see some improvement soon

[Richie_lecturer]

I wouldn't like to eat at Leanne's restaurant. You'd be put off as soon as you arrive by the soup of the day - Scotch Brothel.

[parkerman]

The cost of living seems to be very cheap in Manchester compared to dahn sarf. £40,000 for a restaurant. 50p for an ice cream. I might consider moving...

[alan45]

Leanne/Janice stuff was ok but nothing special. Nice to have a break from whiny Claire though, she's getting very annoying! Hope to see some improvement soonI agree about the Blanche thing too. Bit pointless. Dont know what the point of Leeanne and the restaurant. Think the sparks will fly when Carla take over at the factory.

[Richie_lecturer]

Strange how Leanne got the business up and running just like that too. And what does she know about food? :confused:

[alan45]

I wouldn't like to eat at Leanne's restaurant. You'd be put off as soon as you arrive by the soup of the day - Scotch Brothel.And definately dont order any dishes with crabs in them:eek:

[Chris_2k11]

Another load of rubbish tonight, come on Corrie sort it out

[Richie_lecturer]

Not been good of late has it. I think the chopping and changing of the baby kidnap has had a big effect, as that started off so well.

[Joanne]

The guy selling the restaurant to Leanne and Tony the chef seem a bit dodgy to me. There's obviously something they're not telling her.

[alan45]

Not been good of late has it. I think the chopping and changing of the baby kidnap has had a big effect, as that started off so well.Unfortunately that was to be the big story over the summer. Due to the Maddy McCann story this had to be quickly rewritten and although it shows at the minute I am confident that within a few weeks Corrie will be back on course. With Carla taking over at the factory and Leeannes Restaurant I think things will start to pick up again.

[alan45]

The guy selling the restaurant to Leanne and Tony the chef seem a bit dodgy to me. There's obviously something they're not telling her.
I think you are right. He seemed like a bit of a slimeball.

[Chris_2k11]

another 2 boring episodes to add to the list :rolleyes:

At this rate of going you will need a roll of wallpaper to write your list:p

[CrazyLea]

Hmm it wasn't the best, but I enjoyed some of it. I quite like the Violet and Sean stuff, I think Violet is a really good character. I quite liked the dinner at Roy and Hayleys, thought Cilla was on top form. I quite liked Carla coming back, and Sally asking to be her PA. Good ole' Sally :p.

Snooty Sally is in for a hell of a shock when she sees who Carla employs as her PA

[CrazyLea]

Haha yeah, that should be quite good to watch I reckon.

[Chris_2k11]

I am glad Carla is standing up to the factory girls. It's about time she put her foot down. Don't get me wrong there's nowt wrong with them having a bit of a laugh at work but they do take the micky sometimes!

[Richie_lecturer]

Carla is turning into one of the best characters in the show.

Another slow episode last night, but Steve and Lloyd were entertaining.

[CrazyLea]

but they do take the micky sometimes!
I'm not being funny, but don't they go to the pub in their lunch breaks and drink alcohol? Then they go back to work operating them sewing machines... there's more than one thing wrong with that. Health and saftey should have closed them down :p

Glad Carla has taken to the role of superbitch. She will make a better job of running the factory than her late hubby
And I bet her new PA will cause no end of friction:lol:

Steve and Lloyd are becoming quite the double act. Loved the line '' Hey we are Streetcars not Z Cars''

Laughed at Sean trying to convince himself he was shag**g Freddie Lundberg instead of Violet.

I often go for a pint at lunch. Nobody has complained and I've had contact with H&S many times. :o

[CrazyLea]

Really lol? What do you do though? Do you operate things?

If you had the choice between Roys Rolls, Jerrys Kebabs, Wongs Chippy or T'Rovers which would you pick. :searchme:

[Richie_lecturer]

Really lol? What do you do though? Do you operate things?

Not exactly, but I've chaired meetings and given many talks after a pint. Never got me in trouble. :)

To be fair, workers drinking in the Rovers has been going on since the year dot. I remember Ivy Tilsley, Elsie Tanner, Vera, Emily, Suzi Birchall and Gail all having drinks on their lunch break, which was nearly 25 years ago.

[Katy]

I have often thought its pretty dangerous although i agree with Alan, you wouldnt pick any of the other places to go and eat, especially when the staff at Wongs are Cilla and Yana.

[Chris_2k11]

An improved episode tonight I thought.

[alan45]

An improved episode tonight I thought.

See I told you it would pick up when Carla returned. Stick with Britains number 1 soap *Alan ducks from Pinkbananamoon'*

[Katy]

Thought it was good lst night, Sallys face when Rosie said she had a job working with the boss.

[Chris_2k11]

I can't believe Liz told that Linda woman. I hope Vernon finds out :) sorry but i've gone right off Liz lately.

[alan45]

I can't believe Liz told that Linda woman. I hope Vernon finds out :) sorry but i've gone right off Liz lately.Even I have a bit of sympathy for Vermin.

[DaVeyWaVey]

I watched Corrie last night for the first time in a little while as i kinda lost track of the show and what was going on. I quite enjoyed last night's episode - Sally's 40th birthday was nice to watch and there was a really great atmosphere in the Rovers.

The Liz scenes were ok - i hope Vernon finds out as he deserves to know that Liz was playing away.

[LostVoodoo]

tis strange, Derek was quite sweet at first, thought he would be a nice suitable gent for Liz but now i think he's a right slimeball. as for Vernon, he's a numpty, but he does love Liz.

[Katy]

It was really good on Wednesday as it was an episode that didnt really have any major drama just normal day to day things like the birthday party. Karaoke makes me cringe though but even that was bareable. How funny was Jerry and his daughter, Gail was a picture.

Even i feel for Vernon, he really is trying with Liz isnt he.

[Bryan]

getting a bit boring on the cobbles again isn't it? :thumbsdow

[alan45]

getting a bit boring on the cobbles again isn't it? :thumbsdow
No!!! Things are starting to pick up in the knicker factory with Carla and Liam. Slapper Liz's affair with the slimeball from the brewery even makes me feel sympathetic for Vermin. Sparks to fly between stuck up Sally and her daughter who is now technically her boss. The upcoming affair between Ashley and K.C. The arrival of the Duckies grandson, Call girl to Restauraunter Leeannes trials and tribulations. Thats enough to be getting on with for a soap in the summertime

[Chris_2k11]

getting a bit boring on the cobbles again isn't it? :thumbsdowIts just not holding my interest at all at the moment. I was prepared to say it had been the best soap so far this year but i'm having second thoughts now. haven't seen tonights ep yet though

[CrazyLea]

I'm actually really enjoying Corrie at the moment. I like most of the characters, so that helps. I dislike the Mortons, Janice and Liz and that's about it. Well Gail as well, but she's part of the furniture really lol.

I am really enjoying Carla and Liam at the moment, I think they're great characters, and I'm glad they stayed.And looks like not long till Joanne is gone.. bonus!! Look forward to seeing more from them.

I enjoyed the reminiscing (sp???) with Sally and Kevin tonight, 2 of my fave characters actually, so I love seeing them, they have good on-screen chemistry I think.

I think that there's something with Paul - I'm with Tyronne on that one. Something not right there. Good to see plenty of Jack and Vera though.

Anyway, before I babble on too much. It's looking good I reckon personally.

[DaVeyWaVey]

I enjoyed yesterday's episode. David was great winding up Sarah about Jason! :D

I love Carla in charge of the factory - i think she's great..i do feel sorry for Joanne though as she got sacked. :(

It was nice that Tyrone was looking out for Jack and Vera - i have my suspicions about their grandson though...i think he's not all he seems..:hmm:

Liz stuff was ok, as was the Sally/Kevin scenes.

[Katy]

David is brilliant he is so funny, i hate sarah so it snice seeing her wound up. Though sally and Kevin were dunny having Lunch on the quays as she wasnt going into work due to feeling "fragile" also loving Carla as the boss, shes got the role spot on.

Like Veras grandon is it "Our Paul" i loved him as Baz so i think i'll like him in this.

[Richie_lecturer]

It was nice that Tyrone was looking out for Jack and Vera - i have my suspicions about their grandson though...i think he's not all he seems..:hmm:


His father is Terry Duckworth - nuff said!

Let's hope he's better at acting than Nigel Pavaro ever was. :cool:


I enjoyed the reminiscing (sp???) with Sally and Kevin tonight, 2 of my fave characters actually, so I love seeing them, they have good on-screen chemistry I think.
Agreed. The Websters (inc. kids) are a great family unit. They should never have split them up with those affairs in the 90s. The great Jean Alexander thought the same.

[DaVeyWaVey]

I enjoyed last night's episode. The tension in the Rovers between Vernon, Liz and Derek was fantastic I thought. Vernon looked gutted when Derek revealed all. Derek seems like quite a slimy character as well! I felt sorry for Vernon especially when he sold some of his records to pay for tickets for Paris for him and Liz, it really showed that he cared!

I liked how Hayley got carried away with Freddie's birthday cake too lol.

[Bryan]

Can't believe that Derek told Vernon the truth! What's 'our Liz' gonna do now? :D

[alan45]

Can't believe that Derek told Vernon the truth! What's 'our Liz' gonna do now? :DLiz's men are like buses theres always another one around the corner. Then again I dont think you are allowed bikes on a bus:eek:

[DaVeyWaVey]

Tonight's episodes were good....it was a nice atmosphere at Freddie's birthday and i quite like the Claire stuff.. Becky's present of a fire engine was very fitting!

The Vernon/Liz stuff was good and Vernon was good tonight. I felt sorry for him when he said he thought no one ever took him seriously and just see him as the "joker".

Leanne was good - i liked how she told Cilla to get lost lol and i liked the Liam/Carla/Rosie scene at the factory. Liam had a haircut like 2 weeks ago so i don't know why he went in the hairdressers again!

[Katy]

i agree about the present, it was just a little comical moment, Becky trying her hardest but never getting it right. Also Roys face when she told him she was getting a leg wax, had me in stitches. Loving the Duckworts scenes, like Paul alot and him and Tyrones tension is great, Ty is being a right baby.

Like how they have reintroduced the Kevin and Ashley friendhip, i loved when they were talking about hiring laurel and hardy, and Kirks fingers ere brilliant.

Actually felt sorry for Vernon and his acting was quite good, much better than Liz who is starting to irritate me now.

[parkerman]

Liam had a haircut like 2 weeks ago so i don't know why he went in the hairdressers again!
Also, I didn't notice any difference after he'd had his hair cut...

[Richie_lecturer]

No Big Mac's on buses allowed either.

Sorry Jim. :o

[Chris_2k11]

My god Corrie is duller than dull at the moment, when are they going to get some decent storylines going??

[DaVeyWaVey]

Two average episodes tonight i thought. The Violet/Sean scenes were ok. Violet is a very decent character and she carries her scenes with Sean in my opinion. Anthony Cotton just plays himself and can't act so that's why i only found their scenes on an average level.

Ashley/Casey stuff was good. I really like the character of Casey actually and i only like this storyline when Ashley and Claire aren't going on about needing space all the time! The only thing i find interesting about the storyline is Casey slowly moving into Ashley's life and planning her moves to split both him and Claire apart. The kiss was good at the end and i thought it was realistic as Ashley is in a confused and emotional state and just needs someone with him and of course, Casey makes sure she is the one there to comfort him.

I am enjoying the restaurant stuff with Leanne and I liked Janice and Sally's scenes and Janice winding Sally up. Morton stuff was boring!

5/10

[LostVoodoo]

how can you say it wwas boring when it had the line "i'm just dusting my nuts" in it?!:lol:

[DaVeyWaVey]

That Casey is a very sneaky character isn't she?! She looked really jealous at the end when she left the Peacocks after Ashley told her that Claire was moving back in!

I enjoyed the Sally scenes just for its pure realism and Blanche was funny in tonight's episode too - writing in her little notebook that Liz was smoking in the toilets, then getting her to tell Vernon lol! :D Blanche is fantastic.

I think Paul and Leanne work well on screen together as characters so i'm glad Paul will be working at the restaurant. Violet stuff was a bit boring I thought. Overall though, not a bad episode.

[CrazyLea]

Am I the only one that likes the Violet stuff? My mum was saying tonight how it was boring her, but I really like it. I love Violet.

I loved the Sally stuff, hope she sticks it out and shows everyone!!

I agree Paul and Leanne work well on screen together, so I look forward to seeing more of Paul actually. And I hope that Leannes restaurant goes well.

[Kim]

I liked the Sally stuff, too. The girls moan at being expected to do well at school and things, and then the family thinks that she can't do her course.

I think Violet really should have thought the baby thing through a bit more - I'm guessing she wants to bring the baby up as much as she can herself, which she won't do with Sean as he would get involved quite a lot.

[DaVeyWaVey]

I like the character of Violet but i just find this baby storyline with Sean quite boring and it doesn't hold my interest. I think her character hasn't been used to the best of her ability - they should have delved into her past, like i heard she didn't get on with her parents, maybe they should have done a storyline to do with that instead...i think it would be better than the storyline that Violet has at the moment.

[Bryan]

I can't stand Sean, get him out of the show before I switch off for good!

This storyline is ridiculous, as if she'd be that desperate for a baby, shes only in her 20s! And she's not ugly, she'd easily find herself a man!

Stupid stupid storyline, and it seems to be taking the forefront of the action at the moment! :thumbsdow

[alan45]

I think you are missing the point here about Violets character Bryan. She decided to use Sean as a father for her child as she thought because of her eptopic prgnancy she would be unable to carry a child. She had been badly treated by men in the past and thought that Sean could father the child with no strings attached.

I think this story has been handled very well. It is well wriiten and perfomed by both characters and I think Seans character is an excellent one.

[parkerman]

Brilliant episode tonight with Steve and Eileen. :thumbsup:

EE scriptwriters and producers please take note!

[Richie_lecturer]

They were certainly good value tonight. An excellent partnership. Just proves you don't need murders or big explosions to make half an hour entertaining. Hopefully this Barron period will end this week....

[Chris_2k11]

Poor again tonight :nono:

[DaVeyWaVey]

Two good episodes tonight. I must say the final five minutes of the second parter tonight was absolutely superb! Jack P Shepherd acted out a disturbed David incredibly well! His scene with Jason was disturbing as he threatened to kill his family. Brilliant scene, fantastic acting - probably the best scene in Corrie for ages for me! :thumbsup:

It's clear that David needs help. I think he has a mental problem but his family teasing him and talking behind his back is not going to help matters - they need to realise he needs help before his behaviour gets even more out of control.

[parkerman]

Poor again tonight :nono:


Two good episodes tonight.

Hmmm...and my vote goes to...DaVeyWaVey.:thumbsup:

[alan45]

Brilliant episodes of Corrie tonight. Like him or loath him Demon Boy David was acted superbly by Jack P Shepherd.

He really was creepy and believable. He scared Builder Boy Jason so much I expected to see a puddle of water on the roof.

Corrie seems to be getting over its summer lull caused by the hastily rewritten Claire/Ashley/Casey menage a trois. Other stories bubbling along nicely.

Not to sure the flash of Cillas knickers on Sunday night was suitable for a pre-watershed showing.:sick:

Eileen and Gerry that should prove an interesting combination.

It looks like romance could be on the cards for our Leanne and the King of the Knicker factory whilst spawn of Satan Paul diddles his grandparents out of £20000.

[KarlD]

Slighty better episodes last night but it still has a very long way to go before its over this recent lull.

The sensantional route the show is heading down has damaged the show so much I can't see it ever recovering from it fully. :(

[Joanne]

I liked the way Steve had hestitations about going to Ireland because he's had 2 holidays already this summer and was thinking about his Mum and Vernon and whether it was fair to disappear again or not. Whereas Michelle, who has only just got back from a very extended break thought nothing of just swanning off again!

EE when it was crap in 2003 was getting 14 million an episode and managed to get 17 For Den's return.

Ratings mean jack its whats on screen that matters.

[alan45]

I do not need the ratings to prove how good Corrie is at the moment they just confirm what is obvious. Its still Britains most popular soap. If its getting so many viewers during its present lull then once the promisede winter storylines kick in then it should be hitting well over 10 million.

Please do not insult me when you reply to my posts.

[Richie_lecturer]

Apart from Ashley/Claire/Casey, what else could be described as 'sensational' or 'unrealistic' right now in Corrie?


I can't see it ever recovering from it fully.
What makes you think that, once you've answered the above point? What do you mean by "recovering"?

Well it has to be said that EE is Britians most watched soap as it gets up to 2 million extra on a Sunday and anything from half a million to full million each night at 10pm on Three.

Those facts speak for themselves.

If the people on here want to convince themselves Corrie is great let them but I and the critics know otherwise.

Corrie is now seen as the new Brookside with the press. Some are losing respect for it.

Maybe in the press that you read. However 9.8 million people on Monday night disagreed,

Corrie has been on our screens for 46 years and shows absolutely NO signs of going the way Brookie went.


I really dont know why you bother continuously returning on here with the same attitude.

That's not the way it works. As you should know, ITV plc is a business and has to let advertisers know the facts. If it didn't advertisers would desert the network in revolt. Imagine if I said my business provided 9" nails, when in actual fact we only do 6". I would be in deep doo. But I thought you didn't care about ratings.


If the people on here want to convince themselves Corrie is great let them but I and the critics know otherwise.
So really you want to send us back several hundred years and suppress people's opinions, and only listen to the ones you agree with. I think you will find people are free to give any view on the show right now. Democracy shall not be destroyed, at least not on this forum.

Who says that? And for those that do, I'd like to look at the context of the reviews.

Quite frankly, alan & Richie, I don't know why you bother with Mr KarlD. It's not worth it.

When I proved him wrong about something he was saying on the EE board he disappeared for a week and has, in fact, never come back to the EE board, not even to apologise to me for some of his remarks.

Just let him stew in his own ratings.:thumbsup:

Guy... come on, play nice. I agree ratings don't mean anything, they can be adjusted to suit the program but I also agree that everyone opinion is valid. Yes you can challenge it but please don't knock anyone opinion. I wish this Corrie V EE (my soap is better than your) would stop.
If you want to says something good or bad about a soap that is fine but please no personal comments about anyone on this site. Anyone caught doing it in the future, will be banned. You all have been warned.

[Chloe O'brien]

Last night's party in the rover's was heart warming and comical especially when Jack was talking about vera being on his waltzer and she accused him of getting someone to write the poem for him. Corrie is going to be a sad place without Vera walking the cobbles, her and Jack are two of the greatest characters to live on the street along with other legends, The Ogdens, Elsie Tanner and Ena sharples. I know there has been many new faces in the street over the last few years some good, some rotten. But I doubt that veiwers in 30 or 40 years from now will remember Cilla or Les, Joanne from the factory or even evil David with great fondness that we will remember our Vera with.

[*-Rooney-*]

well i thought paul was too good to be true after all how could anything good come from terry duckworth, imagine stealing jack's identity to get a 20 grand loan he could easily land his grandparents in it if he doesnt pay it back

[alan45]

He is the spawn of Terry 'Sell the kid'' Duckegg what do you expect

[*-Rooney-*]

but one thing that bothers me i always thought terry's son was called tommy, so where did paul come from?

[alan45]

Tommy is the son that he had with Lisa. Paul is the offspring of a dalliance with Andrea Clayton. There is I think a third one Brad

[Bobthechicken]

And jack singing brought back memories of Vince St. Clair:)Oh happy days...........:lol: The funniest storyline ever of any soap.

[Chris_2k11]

Corrie has showed a bit of improvement in the last few episodes but its still not on form IMO. The Ashley/Casey story is really dragging things down at the moment, they've concentrated on it far too much. Quite like this thing with Cilla and that Frank bloke though, even if it is a bit mad!

[Bryan]

Call me narrowminded but I cant look at Micheal Stark without thinking Sinbad, it's spoiling my enjoyment of his character and the storyline with Eileen :thumbsdow

Quite like this thing with Cilla and that Frank bloke though, even if it is a bit mad!Well you will be glad to know that the Ashley/Claire/KC storyline reaches its climax next week.. I dont think they have done too bad considering the storyline had to be drastically rewritten to take account of the similarities with Maddy McCann.

[Johnny Allen]

I like Frank and Cilla, great pairing there. And Eileen is very funny. But thank god this whole Claire, Ashley storyline is coming to end, two of the weakest characters in the soap given loads of milage.

And I was just thinking what happened with that girl who fell down the stairs in the factory and died it was a while ago. Carla and Paul covered it up but what happened the police and her friend Vicky (was it Vicky?) seem to have forgetten all about.

[DaVeyWaVey]

Good episode tonight - I can sense Corrie improving now with this Hayley storyline starting. Some brilliant acting tonight with Hayley at the funeral and her finding the letter, ripping it up and throwing it in the canal. Some of the reactions towards Hayley at the funeral was pretty shocking so i was so glad when Roy stuck up for her! I'm glad Becky is involved in this storyline too - she's a fantastic addition.

[Richie_lecturer]

The Hayley stuff is certainly developing nicely. It could be Corrie's saviour this September, along with David Platt. I also enjoyed the stuff with Norris, Emily and Doreen.

Still don't like the Mortons, and thank god the Claire stuff ends soon.

And yes, Vince Sinclair was :thumbsup: ...back in the day.....

[Chris_2k11]

Good last night with the Hayley story, its stuff like this that the show needs to get back to.

[tammyy2j]

Good episode poor hayley this will be a good storyline. I'm tried of Ashley/Claire/Casey storyline thank god its over soon. So we can see Liam is sort of developing a thing for Carla even though i hope it doesn't happen. I like to see him with Jodie it would be an interesting pairing. I'm loving Eileen/Jerry :cheer: :cheer:

[Chris_2k11]

What a load of rubbish tonight, this Ashley/Casey plot has been bizzare from the word go and tonight was no exception, the photos on the wall were just too much. The whole thing was so predictable, I think we all knew she wasn't going to jump.

:lweek:

[*-Rooney-*]

i think its a good storyline with the ecstasy tablet and bethany but its very unrealistic that anyone would even think about leaving david babysitting a 7 year old child,

I wouldnt trust him with a dog let alone a child

[Richie_lecturer]

Not sure about unrealistic. After all, David has never harmed Beth before now.

I felt last night was a bit poor despite the hype. Well acted by Sarah and David, but a dodgy script ruined any impact the scenes at the hospital may have had. The kid who plays Bethany is terrible as well.

Roy, Hayley and Becky were also good, but the rest was rather dull and uninspiring. All in all a bit average.

[LostVoodoo]

Well acted by Sarah and David, but a dodgy script ruined any impact the scenes at the hospital may have had. The kid who plays Bethany is terrible as well.

yeah, i didn't think they let sarah rip at david enough, they should have at least let her get a slap in. and the girl who plays bethany has always been terrible, the kid playing joshua puts her to shame!

[Chris_2k11]

I know this sounds awful but I think they should make it so that Bethany dies, leading to Sarah's exit. It would be totally unexpected to most people as they wouldn't expect Corrie to do such a thing and I think it would really shock people and get them talking about the show again ! They need something really attention grabbing like this to happen as i'm sure i'm not the only one losing interest in the show at the moment.

[*-Rooney-*]

no i think that would be so sad, imagine sarah having to bury her second child at the age of 20/21, surely she has been through enough

[Chris_2k11]

Of course it would be sad, but it would be shocking aswell as sad. its about time Corrie started taking a few risks, where's the drama in her and Beth just living happily ever after?

[Katy]

Plus the kid that plays beth is awful. I though David was brilliantin the episodes surrounding the tablet. he is a better actor than the rest of the platt clan put together.
Loved the line where Darryl said to him you mental you are or something to that effect and his reply was no mate i'm a product of a broken home.

[*-Rooney-*]

its easy enough to change the actress to play beth thats wot corrie are famous for in young actors arent they, i.e sarah, nick, david, rosie, etc

[DaVeyWaVey]

It was an average two episodes on Monday i thought - i was looking forward to the episode but i personally felt slightly let down by it all - i think Corrie could have done a lot better. I think i was expecting a lot more drama than there was. Sarah seemed to be the only person who really tore into David - i expected a lot more drama at the hospital - i thought Audrey, Gail etc were surprisingly calm considering the circumstances! The guy who plays David really acted out the scenes very well though, along with Tina O Brien.

Meanwhile, the Hayley/Roy/Becky scenes were brilliant as always - one of Corrie's strongest links at the moment.

[Ruffed_lemur]

no i think that would be so sad, imagine sarah having to bury her second child at the age of 20/21, surely she has been through enough

I agree, I think that would be too sad. Corrie is miserable enough right now. More laughs is what I would like.

[*-Rooney-*]

well thats david kicked out of the family home now, wonder what will happen with him now?

If gail had only oppened her eyes to him years ago and did something about it i.e boot camp for example it may never have came to this. But in gails opinion david was just going through a phase

[Richie_lecturer]

Boot camp would have made him worse. He needs psychological help, and fast.

Last night's offering was better than Monday's. Can't get rid of Platty boy that easily. Gail will have to take him to the scaffold. Actually on second thoughts, maybe that's not a good idea.....

[Chris_2k11]

There was something very touching about that last scene with Gail and David in the street. The way she went to talk to him and he crossed the road and then she just carried on walking and looked at him at the end with a tear in her eye. I thought it was very touching and one of the best moments i've seen by Corrie for a while, i really felt for Gail then. More stuff like this please.

[*-Rooney-*]

yeah i think it all hit home to her when she was listening to sarah and jason talking to bethany about her new room and telling her that david wont be coming back

[Chris_2k11]

Definitely. i think the way she's been acting these past few episodes isn't Gail at all. you can tell she's found it heartbreaking to throw him out but she can't see any other way forward.

[LostVoodoo]

i love the way you feel for both of them; you know david isn't a complete monster and obviously needs therapy or similar, and you can also sympathise with the siuation gail's found herself in. and there's even comedy in audrey's witterings and bill's aside comments. top stuff.

[Chris_2k11]

Decent enough tonight, enjoyed most of it

[Chris_2k11]

Good again last night apart from the Liam and Carla crap. sorry but i cant buy any of it, the whole thing seems to have just come out of nowhere.

[Richie_lecturer]

I didn't like that either, or the Paul stuff much atm.

Thought Blanche and Becky were great though. :thumbsup:

[alan45]

Since her return Becky has become a great addition to the Street. The perfect foil for Roy and Hayley/Harold

[Chris_2k11]

Becky is quickly becoming one of the shows best characters!

[Ruffed_lemur]

Becky is really great! In recent episodes she's the character I'm most enjoying. :)

[Chris_2k11]

OK episode last night. I dont think Cilla's exit is far off :eek:

[Richie_lecturer]

I dont think Cilla's exit is far off
Nor that chap in the wheelchair by the looks of him. :eek:

[sam23]

Since her return Becky has become a great addition to the Street. The perfect foil for Roy and Hayley/Harold

I agree, I was just saying the other day how much I like what they have done to her character shes like the daughter Roy and Hayley never had.

[Abbie]

lol so sally wants to be a sponge :lol:
And loved sarah coming out the door to shout

[LostVoodoo]

omg, what a funny episode!

although what's with Todd's sudden camp makeover?

[Abbie]

I thought there was soemthing different about Todd, But I like what corrie have done cos I hate it when soaps forget about family members

[alan45]

I thought there was soemthing different about Todd, But I like what corrie have done cos I hate it when soaps forget about family membersTo be fair to Corrie they always mentioned Todd being in London. Im glad that they persuaded Bruno/Todd to return for his brother's wedding. It makes it more realistic. I have to agree though they overdid the campness. Looked like he just stepped out of the Village People. Made Sean look quite butch:rotfl:

Made Sean look quite butch:rotfl:Yeh I know they have always mentioned him but It better when they bring family members back, rather than an excuse of some sort, that what i really mean to say, cos like you said it keeps it more realistic

[Siobhan]

So I checked in on Corrie last night, first time in years and was suprised how grown up Sofie is, same for chesney... Couldn't believe it... most character look the same but these two shocked me... It was nice to pop in and watch it.. I like the bit with Todd and Sarah (although she annoys me so much) but when she was talking about her past weddings "wedding 1 groom runs off with a guy, wedding 2 groom climbs out of bathroom window and it looks like for wedding 3 my brother is going to plant bombs" and the two just burst out laughing...

[*-Rooney-*]

im glad that sarah and todd finally managed to let the past stay there and finally move on and the look on david platts face when she saw sara and todd both get out of the same car then meet up with eileen and jason. But seriously for a guy who wanted to prove to his family that he was sorry about what happened to beth, inviting sarahs ex to the wedding and trying to kill jason isnt the way to do it

[CrazyLea]

Only just watched Wednesday's episode. Quite a good episode. I don't know whether to feel sorry for David or not. I thought he was being genuine, but obviously he wasn't. Now Sarah looks like the bad guy for carrying on, but she knew what he was like. David really does need help though, I think Gail should realise that and get him some!

Good episode though :D Better than EE wedding.

[Ruffed_lemur]

Yes it really is about time David got some help. Surely an attempt at suicide with the police involved would make this happen? At least he should be questioned about his actions.

[Johnny Allen]

Am I the only one that agrees with Sarah, lets be honest he said he'd set out to ruin her day, and after all the cruel acts he'd done before, she must have seen it coming. Yet everyone else is buying into it, Gail and Audrey were so over the top towards him surely if they believe he did try to commit suicide they would get him help.

[LostVoodoo]

here here! i'm totally with her. i can't believe Jason is acting this way considering David tried to kill him!

[Abbie]

I agree with Sarah too, just a shame other people thought she was being cow, cos Jason didnt looked pleased

[alan45]

Im blooming sure I wouldnt ruin my honeymoon because my wifes psycho brother conned everyone into thinking he committed suicide.

DIE DAVID DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[parkerman]

Yes it really is about time David got some help. Surely an attempt at suicide with the police involved would make this happen? At least he should be questioned about his actions.
My wife, who is a consultant psychotherapist working in the youth and adolescent field, said that, as David is over 16, the police would take no action if neither David nor his mother wished them too.

[Abbie]

I feel really sorry for sarah cos she is coming across as desperate to be a wife when she like us knows what David is really like

[Abbie]

This whole John and Rosie thing, I really dont like it and where on earth did it come from?

[LostVoodoo]

This whole John and Rosie thing, I really dont like it and where on earth did it come from?

i know, it's totally cringe-worthy! and how old is John supposed to be, considering Rosie is the same age as Katie Harris was when she got together with Martin Platt?

[Abbie]

I know, ist just totally random, at least the Martain and Katie thing was gradual but this was just all of sudden!!

[CrazyLea]

Hmm it has come out of nowhere! And it is very cringe worthy on Rosies part! But I kinda slightly like it! Lol.

I want to see more of the Carla/Liam stuff!!! I'm actually looking forward to seeing that develop!!

[Perdita]

John is obviously extremely flattered by all the attention he is getting all of a sudden, I mean he has changed his appearance since he gained more confidence, new hairstyle, contact lenses instead of glasses etc. He has realised that at the moment he can have his cake and eat it, but not for long, that is sure. :angry:

[Abbie]

Oh dear, John has got himself in aright pickle, hes with Fizz, cos rosie on the side!!!!! And now has sally throwing himself at him

[tammyy2j]

Oh Sally she has it bad for John buying him a CD. I'm so tired of hearing Sarah and Jodie whining i'm so glad both are leaving. Did anyone else notice the way Jason looked at Violet in the pub when she giving out to Sean is there something there? Could maybe Jason actually be the baby's daddy?

[Perdita]

Well, I believe Sophie is also going to want to get to know John a lot better than she should. :eek:
I think Jason will go off with Becky once Sarah has left.
I do wonder though, with both Sarah and Jason not working, how come they spend money they can't really afford in the cafe? :searchme:

[parkerman]

Could maybe Jason actually be the baby's daddy?

No................................................ .........

[LostVoodoo]

omg rosie webster is such a horrible person! my whole family cheered when that girl lamped her one :lol:

[*funky*monkey*]

Jamie/Violet back together... love it! Wat do you think about them getting back together?

[Abbie]

Not really sure why but I found the bit in the pub with Fizz and Kevin funny

[Chris_2k11]

I think its really boring at the minute, especially the stupid baby storyline with sean

[Perdita]

I like it that Doreen is hoping to get engaged to anybody that is asking. Who will she choose, I wonder. :wub: :hmm:

[parkerman]

I think its really boring at the minute, especially the stupid baby storyline with sean

Quite agree. It's one of the worst storylines the Street has had for a long time.

[Wizardardo]

I quite like it

The whole Mother Vs Daughter thing is starting to unfold

Can i just ask the girls is he really that good looking to have 3 woman after him?????

[Perdita]

I quite like it

He is not bad looking, although perhaps not in the typical heartthrob kind of way. :wub: :D

[Chris_2k11]

I get the feeling this John/Rosie thing has been put together purely to fill the gap of the xmas storyline.

[Perdita]

Yeah, I am getting a bit bored with it. Wish it would all come out now rather than having to wait until Christmas/ :angry:

[Chris_2k11]

yawnfest tonight, anyone really bothered about Carla's love life?

[Abbie]

yawnfest tonight, anyone really bothered about Carla's love life?

No one, it was very boring:thumbsdow

[Chris_2k11]

yawnfest tonight, anyone really bothered about Carla's love life?

No one, it was very boring:thumbsdow
Violet's sister "SEANIE" :sick:

[Abbie]

Lol Im reallly shocked at her sister!

[Perdita]

I think Carla getting smacked might have been played a bit better, if she had been hit that hard that she fell to the floor, she should have a big bruise or fat eye in her face. :thumbsdow It is clear though that there is still a big spark between Carla and Liam. :wub:
I like Violet's sister, she is a bit like Roxie in EE or Lexie in Emmerdale, a little minx who will turn many of the men's heads, I am sure.:p

[*-Rooney-*]

yeah i think ill like violets sister, she looks like she will be fun

[CrazyLea]

Awww I really want Carla and Liam to get together :p. So cute haha. She was really gutted about the engagement and Liam is just kidding himself! Get out the way Maria :p.

[Perdita]

Very good acting from Carla last night, the way her voice was choked when she asked Tony to come and get her :crying: . I hope they do get together some time, neither Liam nor Maria really want to get married, that is clear.

[parkerman]

I thought it was very amusing last night when Michelle went to the cab office and said to Steve, "There you are, I've been looking everywhere for you." If Steve was not in the pub where else would he be? Where is the everywhere she would have looked before trying the cab office? Doh!

[hoppy_001]

yea dont we all want liam and carla to get together, he was so tempted last night when she said ''bet you wana rip my clothes off right now'' in the factory, he so wanted to and no hes with the muppet maria! move over maria he dont want you! carla and liam want each other! please tell each other!

[Perdita]

Did you see that rock that Maria has on her finger? Underworld must be very busy and be very profitable for Liam to afford that size of engagement ring.:p
It will not last though, it will end in tears :crying:

[CrazyLea]

Kym Ryder is an awful actress :thumbsdow

[Chris_2k11]

She was atrocious tonight. also im a bit confused with this storyline, how long have Michelle and Ryan supposed to have lived in Manchester for?

[CrazyLea]

She really was. And hmmm that's a point. Didn't they used to live in Ireland or something? (Assuming Ireland)

[LostVoodoo]

i thought they'd lived in manchetser most of their lives, esp since they grew up on the same estate as carla. more importantly, did Michelle and Ryan's dad get married when they were like 15 or something?!

[parkerman]

They did live in Ireland. I'm not sure when they left. They couldn't have got married at 15, it would have been illegal!

[Chris_2k11]

I think its great to see Jim back on the street, he is one of the few highlights for me at the minute.

[*funky*monkey*]

Did you see it where Jim was telling Vernon how much he thouight Liz would like their wedding vows... that was brilliant!:thumbsup:

[Joanne]

So does John now prefer Rosie to Fizz? Last night he said something about not being able to be with the one he wants to be with.

[alan45]

Good to see Demon Boy get his comeuppance last night

[Katy]

It was although i dont think much do Sarah either. The acting of Sarah and audrey when they found the drugs wass like something i did in year 8 drama, basically pretty rubbish. John and Rosie is so harsh on Fiz especially at christmas. IT wuill be gutting if she figures hes cheating on her, thats something Kirk never would have done.

[Perdita]

I suspect that Sarah will not be punished for buying the drugs and planting them on David :thumbsdow I hope that John gets kicked into touch so far that he will land on the moon, dirty little rotter.

[CrazyLea]

I couldn't help feel sorry for David tbh :lol:. Don't know why. :o *hides*
Think it's just 'cause of how he got his comeuppance. Sarah really grates me. She's so childish.. "Are you saying you didn't try to commit suicide and it was all a game to spoil my wedding"
If I hear another word about spoiling the wedding I'll scream :p.

[TaintedLove]

Sarah is irritating me lately. But if I put myself in her shoes and my brother spoilt my wedding, I`d move heaven and earth to get my revenge on the little thug.
I wish it was David who was leaving though. I don`t know which David I despise the most...the smug arrogant David or the poor me no one loves me David

[*-Rooney-*]

lets not forget almost killing bethany

[parkerman]

So when Gail, Sarah and Jason all went to the pub tonight, who was looking after Bethany?

[CrazyLea]

David? The "suicidal" one? The one they all trust ;)?

Or maybe Audrey??

[parkerman]

Audrey was in the pub too.

[CrazyLea]

Must have been Davey then.

[parkerman]

How strange. Shows you what Gail and Sarah think of Bethany if they can leave her in the care of a suicidal drug addict! :thumbsdow

[CrazyLea]

I know. Obviously they don't mean all the insult they shout at David.

[Chris_2k11]

I missed tonights episode!

[Katy]

I thought it was all a bit odd tonight to be honest./ I mean what was all the fuss in the pub with Maria and Carla.

[CrazyLea]

Build up :p.
.................................................. ...............

[*-Rooney-*]

maybe steven had bethany.....just a thought

[parkerman]

Stephen was in the pub too.

[Chris_2k11]

Continuity error then

[parkerman]

But it's quite a frequent error in both Coronation Street and Eastenders. Kids just get forgotten about when the script needs all the adults to be somewhere.

[Bryan]

This Rosie and John storyline is a complete and utter waste of space! Not well thought out at all! As if Rosie would be interested in someone like that! She's 16 and she's acting like a silly little slut! The sooner the storyline is over with the better!

And I wonder why I haven't been keeping up with it at uni!

[Chris_2k11]

The Rosie & John storyline has been put together purely to have something going on on xmas day. Im sick of the Websters and their never ending affairs, absolute tosh.

[Chris_2k11]

But it's quite a frequent error in both Coronation Street and Eastenders. Kids just get forgotten about when the script needs all the adults to be somewhere.I'll agree with that, it happens among most soaps :) But then again if they took them in the pub with them then we'd be complaining that they wouldn't be allowed in the pub so they can't win really lol

[Bryan]

The Rosie & John storyline has been put together purely to have something going on on xmas day. Im sick of the Websters and their never ending affairs, absolute tosh.

Exactly! Just becuase they have no other storylines at the moment, and they know that the Eastenders christmas episodes are gonna be some of 2007 best soap moments!

This storyline is just a pale imitation of the Stax affair from Eastenders, at least there more drama to that affair. What's the worst that can happen in Corrie? Fizz goes back to Kirk (which is what we all want) and Rosie going back to being a little slut. Big deal. :rolleyes:

[TaintedLove]

With John Stape being such a liar and a cheat makes me wonder how many more 16 year old girls he`s slept with in the past.

[Chris_2k11]

The Connor storyline fails to interest me!

[CrazyLea]

Which one.. the Michelle stuff?? Or the Liam and Carla stuff?

If Michelle - I agree. That is sooo boring. And makes Kym look a really bad actress if you ask me. Quite OTT.

If Liam and Carla - I disagree. Love this stuff :wub:.

[TaintedLove]

What's the worst that can happen in Corrie? Fizz goes back to Kirk (which is what we all want)
I don`t! Fiz doesn`t deserve Kirk after the way she dumped him. Plus she slept with Tyrone when he and Maria were still together. She`s not the sweet innocent person that she tries to make herself out to be.
And when she first came into it, she told social services that Roy Cropper tried it on with her. He could have gone to prison because of that.

[Bryan]

last night's episode was lame, give me a dose of Eastenders anyday, it was pale in comparisson.

Havent seen last nights ep yet either, gonna watch it on itv2 in a bit. i hope its decent

[CrazyLea]

It's worth watching just for the slap Sally gives Rosie alone!

[Chris_2k11]

Seen it now, what a load of rubbish. Crap acting from Fiz when she found out, crap acting from John when he realised she knew, crap acting when Sally slapped Rosie, crap acting in the fight scene with Kevin and John, crap acting from annoying Lauren dancing around in the pub, and more crap acting from Michelle. Before 2005 Corrie used to be scene perfect, it couldn't be faulted at all, now look at the state of it. Its getting worse.

[parkerman]

The legal system works remarkably quickly in Wetherfield! Arrested on Christmas Day - trial three days later!!!!

[Chris_2k11]

Crappy exit for Sarah as expected :thumbsdow

[*-Rooney-*]

fizz should have slapped rosie

[Ruffed_lemur]

Crappy exit for Sarah as expected :thumbsdow

Not very believable was it? I expected it to be much more emotional, with lots of tears. Hard to believe that they are newly weds!

[*-Rooney-*]

Crappy exit for Sarah as expected :thumbsdow

Not very believable was it? I expected it to be much more emotional, with lots of tears. Hard to believe that they are newly weds!

yeah i know exactly what you mean not one of them tried to put up at least one arguement for saving there marriage and sticking together, and in the end david got what he wanted in a different way from sarah giving up on milan, her husband gave up on her. Pretty big sacrifice in my opinion

[Abbie]

Maria could of sounded more upset and Horified!!!!!!!!!!!

[*-Rooney-*]

she was more upset when she thought she had lost her dog, than when her fiance fell off the cliffs

[Abbie]

I know, I mean he could of fell to his death and she was just.................

[CrazyLea]

Well when he fell she sounded horrified :p.

I can't believe he fell so badly :eek:. I thought he was just going to slip slightly and fall!!!!

HOW does he survive that! It looked really bad, the way he fell back as well, if he landed on his back can't have been too good!!! And we know that he lives, 'cause of spoilers involving him!

[Abbie]

Lol what I want to do is what earth was he doing anyway, he was never going to make it down there in one piece
