I actually didn't think he looked as old as 37, but he still looks too old to be Gail's son.

Steve was funny drunk last night LOL
He was hilarious! I love Steve, he's a great character.

He was terrible imo, his character is so OTT.
I have seen better actors pretending to be drunk

David and nick - can everyone else feel the love lol
Oh my god what did Gail look like :p
David knows Nick is after Tina and i guess he is jealous
parkerman
09-01-2010, 09:44
Speaking as an ex-Councillor myself, may I just say that the portrayal of the planning meeting was just ridiculous. That is not how it happens.
y dads a planner and he said exactly the same thing.
that aside i really enjoyed the episode, especially the scenes with Sally and Carla in the factory.
Hannelene
09-01-2010, 11:09
Carla was great and she looks even better then before!
Sounded like Carla also had breast cancer at some time.
I absolutely loved the showdown between Nick and David - it was nasty and felt very realistic. There's an antagonistic chemistry between them that should be great viewing.
Yes, I am sure there will be plenty more showdowns between those two

I's say she had a scare in the past maybe
parkerman
09-01-2010, 19:56
She said she'd had a scare when she was talking to Sally but that it turned out not to be cancer.
Ha ha, Mary has her beady little eyes on Norris again and he can't say NO :lol:
Graeme crying for Rosie :lol:
CrazyLea
11-01-2010, 22:58
That was pretty funny :p
I enjoyed these episodes.. well I enjoyed Sally and Kevin telling Rosie and Sophie about the cancer.. that sounds bad, but you know what I mean. It was pretty good acting.
Yeah, Sophie's reaction to Sally's cancer was especially believable.
I'm loving mad Mary's obsession with Norris. It was hilarious when she scribbled out Freda from the photo the other day like a complete psycho :rotfl:.

12-01-2010, 16:27
Graeme crying for Rosie :lol:
It was funny, but sweet too!
Graeme crying for Rosie :lol:
that was funny
Graemes crying was so funny, it was nearly as funny as Rosies shocking acting!
Thought Sophie was brilliant when she found out about Sally.

Joe and Gail didnt go away for very long
*-Rooney-*
13-01-2010, 23:07
Isnt ted gonna wonder why gail doesnt mention the flat, Cos Joe told him he would tell her about it while they were away
It will be one of those things, he wants to ask, her phone goes and she has to leave with the promise: We'll talk later, Dad :)
Ruffed_lemur
14-01-2010, 17:46
Joe and Gail didnt go away for very long
I thought that too. What was it, a weekend? Nice place though.
Don't forget, he is broke and they might not have been able to take more time off, Gail at least, working at the Med Centre
How can Joe afford life insurance?
Even though Rosie was doing good by sticking up for her mother i still felt it was all about her - god i hate Rosie
Maybe they were given cash as a wedding present and he paid the down payment with it
Hannelene
17-01-2010, 13:35
Is Joe planning to take the life insurance out to kill Gail so he can collect the money for himself?
No, He wanted to disappear with his boat one day and return in a few years time, like the back from the dead John Darwin case a couple of years ago.
Respect to the writers of Corrie for having a storyline about Gary Wundass joining the army, Its well written and acted and after all must be happening in hundreds of homes up and down the country. Whether or not you agree with the war in Afghanistan all credit to the brave men and women risking their lives day and daily. Credit to Corrie for highlighting it.
Has Gary Windass left Corrie now? I hope not, they never really gave his character a chance to develop.
He will come back as a fully trained soldier
i loved the scenes where the were waving off Gary, its really believable as is Salllys storyline at the moment, and there both really well acted.
I agree, very believable stories and well acted from all. Hope they do well in the NTAs :)
*-Rooney-*
17-01-2010, 20:42
Tyrone annoyed me when he was talking about going away to see kevin, and molly said their away to toast gary. and tyrone said "Gary, whos gary compared to kev". Well hes the guy who is away to risk his life for your country, ..oh and hasnt been sleeping with your wife.
Im glad molly is leaving tyrone, with or without kevin....lets face it she was never tyrones first priority, at the start of the marriage she was getting neglected because he was obsesed with jack and whatshername, now its kevin.
"RANT OVER" thanks for ur patience lol
tammyy2j
18-01-2010, 20:40
Poor Tyrone he deserves better than Molly the awful cow and then she is blaming Tyrone she should be honest with him
i felt like crying for tyrone feel sorry for him
and i felt like smacking steve to
At least Molly has been honest with Ty, as sad as the situation is, better than living a lie. Steve needs wallopping big time, pratt :angry:
Molly and Steve both deserve a good smack
At least Molly has been honest with Ty, as sad as the situation is, better than living a lie. Steve needs wallopping big time, pratt :angry:
Well she has been a wee bit honest with him. She just forgot to mention she was sha**ing his boss and best mate Kevin.
Steve really does need a good slapping. He is behaving like a complete as*hole
I thought the scenes between Molly and Tyrone were really well written and acted. I even felt sorry for Molly as well as Tyrone. If she doesn't love Tyrone, she was right to leave him and she obviously didn't like hurting him, although hurtful things were said by both at various times. It was very realistic.
Add me to the list of people who want to smack Steve!

Because he is sh1t scared of Sally finding out. Of course as this is soapland we all know that its only a matter of time and indeed there have already been rumours to that effect

22-01-2010, 22:53
Seriously had enough of Joe, not sure why but the actor just grates on me.
Never has been my favourite actor, agree with you on that point. But I belive we won't have to suffer much longer.

A few bust-ups tonight LOL
aww becky :( and steve needs a boot :angry:
What is Steve playing at? And Kelly should know better than to go upstairs with him :angry:
Did Becky get a necklace out of the bag with her mum's belongings right at the end of the episode? Could not quite make it out.
I so felt for her :(

that what i was thinking to

All credit to Chris Gasgoyne in playing the part very well.
parkerman
06-02-2010, 10:41
Yes, I thought he was really good last night. His gradual decline from sober to out of control was really well done.:thumbsup:
Yes, he done a good job :clap:
I agree too. The fact that we care about Peter and his drinking proves how good a job he and the writers have done.
it's only going to get worse for him:(

No. It was to show potential customers etc. what it would be like. They were only at the beginning of the interior building work.

And actor if you ask me.
Chris_2k11
09-02-2010, 10:27
Agreed!
Reece Dinsdale is a great actor. When he arrived as the character Joe he was excellent. However once he decided not to stay then the Corrie producers had some half-wit write a leaving story for him. The character became crap and the storyline shoddy. The character was turned into a complete waste of space and the situations became more lauhable with every episode. I am glad to see the back of the Joe character but sad to see a great actor being used in such a rubbish fashion
Could not agree any more with you, Alan
tammyy2j
09-02-2010, 11:43
I wish Joe had taken Gail with him
parkerman
09-02-2010, 11:45
I can't wait to see who Gail marries next!
I can't wait to see who Gail marries next!
Well Tyrone is free at the minute although Norris would be a better bet as he has his own business.
She probably will have a civil ceremony with Tracey Barlow in prison :D
I agree that Reece Dinsdale is a good actor - I've always really liked him in things until Corrie, and was excited to learn he was joining. It wasn't his fault that Joe was such an unlikeable character.
Did anyone else find the drowning scenes hard to watch? Although I was glad that Joe was leaving, I found his final moments stressful. Very well done to all involved.

I did find it hard to watch, but not, I suspect for the same reason as you. I thought it was complete and utter rubbish the way it was done. Reece Dinsdale may have been a good actor before Corrie but I found his drowning scene awful and completely unconvincing.
:rotfl: Not quite the reaction those involved would have been hoping for, I think.

Yes Gail was Kate Winslet "JOEEEEEE!!" :rotfl:
:lol: yeah I heard it was the way he let go and went into the water
*-Rooney-*
11-02-2010, 17:43
Yes kate and leo move over for gail and joe lol
It was nice seeing David supporting Gail.
How stupid is she for covering for Joe?
I guess she is confused and in shock and not thinking straight. Probably also does not want to believe that she picked another loser as husband
i love this storyline with Peter, it's so well acted by the act that plays Peter. He makes so much more of an interesting character than Phil Mitchell, I at least feel sorry for Peter when things go wrong. Poor Simon though caught in this battle between them all :( x
Chloe O'brien
13-02-2010, 01:02
The reality with Corrie is. That they build up a storyline. Peter didn't become an alcholic over night. We seen it unfolding unlike EE with Phil becoming an alcholic over night and Chelsea becoming a coke head.

Na no that one. The purple stuff in a gass jar.
unlike EE with Phil becoming an alcholic over night
To be fair, Phil has been an alcoholic for many years, and there was a big build-up when his drinking first started getting out of control a long time ago. He'd been on the OJ for a long time before succumbing to drink again recently when his mum blamed him for not killing Archie.
Can somebody refresh my memory and tell me where Dev has a restaurant? Thanks, I can't remember for my life

Do Sunita's aunt really not know about Sunita splitting up from Dev? Or is their visit a plot to get these 2 back together?
I think the aunts' visit is a contrived plot to get Dev and Sunita back together.
Weren't Lewis and Audrey hilarious in last night's episodes? Comparing her to Barack Obama... :rotfl:

I thought Tina's reaction was spot-on to losing someone close in a shocking way. I agree Lacey deserves the award though :)
It's such a shame that Mary won't be staying in Corrie. I love her and Norris as a double-act - they're hilarious together. Mary's like a scary version of Norris.
Thought last night was heartbreaking. Tina was so realistic. Brilliant acting.

I don't get why Gail was so worried about Joe getting into any trouble when no insurance claim was being made for his faked death. Surely it would have been the fraud that was the criminal offence, not just his disappearance. People vanish and start new lives all the time.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't imagine that Joe would have gone to prison, or even been charged with anything, for faking his death, if Gail had been open from the start and told the police everything. There would have been no investigation into his "death" and no insurance fraud, so no crime. Or am I completely wrong about that?
Unless planning the fraud is a crime? I agree with you though, he has not made a claim, so no crime committed
parkerman
26-02-2010, 08:01

If Gail had told the police everything of course Joe would have been arrested for trying to commit fraud. Tha fact that Gail didn't go through with it doesn't alter the fact that Joe's intentions were a criminal act.
Proving r he Intent to Committ a Fraud would have been very difficult without the evidence of Gail. She would be a competent but not compellable witness so if she refused to give evidence against Joe then the police would have a very hard time proving their case
Thanks for your answers guys. I didn't realise that the intention to commit fraud was a criminal act, although from what you all say Joe may have gotten away without going to prison without Gail's co-operation. I understand now that she was right to worry about him getting into trouble even without an insurance claim.
Things such as Joe taking out the policy, making arrangements to travel to Ireland and packing clothing to take away with him along with leaving notes about a suicide would all help to build a case that his intent was to defraud
I don't think Joe left a suicide note, though. It was supposed to be an accidental death, I'm sure.
parkerman
26-02-2010, 17:11
No he didn't leave a suicide note. It was supposed to have been an accidental death and the idea was to be that his body wouldn't be found.
It was accidental, he wanted to disappear for a while, wait for Gail to get the insurance money and re-appear at some time. The mast knocked him into the water and he was unable to get back onto the boat.
parkerman
26-02-2010, 17:13
It was accidental, he wanted to disappear for a while, wait for Gail to get the insurance money and re-appear at some time. The mast knocked him into the water and he was unable to get back into the boat, that is why he drowned.
I think you've misunderstood what the discussion is about, Perdy!
Would not surprise me, parkerman, have had one hell of a week behind me but finished my project at work, so can concentrate a bit more again. Just ignore what I said :D
I don't think Joe left a suicide note, though. It was supposed to be an accidental death, I'm sure.
I didnt say he left a suicide note. I was just giving examples of what elelments may go towards proving his intent to defraud.
Each of them singly may be insufficient but taken together would provide sufficient evidence to warrant a prosecution.

Hasn't changed has she? Bringing that guy home with her for a one night stand, and then calling Molly a tart!
I hate Margi Clark too, and hope she's going very, very soon. I don't know what all this pretending to care about Tyrone is all about - maybe just an excuse to fight with Molly. I had to laugh at her line"...as soon as my pits stop smarting!" though. :rotfl:
I thought David was really sweet (yes, really!) last night when he said to Gail "You were thinking of Tina. It's called love." when she was explaining to the police that she sent the text and flowers to Tina. Since it was he who really sent them, he was talking about his own love for Tina. Awwwww....

Norris, with a toupe :lol:
It was hilarious when Mary said "he seems a little unsure" to Norris' reaction to the toupee. A bit of an understatement! And I loved his "king of the swingers" card from Rita :rotfl: .
I would have taken Simon then and there if I was Peter. I wouldn't trust George at all.

I'm sorry but why didnt Ken get Simon he is his granddad also
Peter is the legal guardian of the child not George
Peter played right into George's hands last night and that copper was all for George
parkerman
09-03-2010, 12:37
It was all nonsense. Even in the extremely unlikely event the police were to take Simon off Peter, Ken and Leanne would have had a much bigger right to take Simon back to his home than leaving him with George.
I thought that it was quite badly scripted but then again, soapland can't be too true to life, else it would nto be fiction anymore, I guess
Hilarious scene tonight between Kevin and Molly after she showed him the scan pictures
Kevin '' Are you sure this isnt some kind of a wind-up''
Molly '' No, its a real c0ck up''
Priceless

Me too. Surely it must have been intentional. I can't believe no-one would have realised what she was saying.
Simon's back safe :cheer:
Chloe O'brien
16-03-2010, 12:33
Why didn't the Police appear at Ken's house to check that Simon was okay.
Corrie was very good yesterday - lots of funny moments, especially with mad Mary. Her answer to Rita's "I wasn't born yesterday" was classic: "No...I can see that". :rotfl: And Liz's face when she asked for gin and apple juice was hilarious.
I also enjoyed the Wild West-type standoff between Tina and David as they left their houses for court.
TUPELE Dorgu has criticised Corrie bosses over her humdrum exit from the soap.
Her character Kelly Crabtree left in tears last night after being fired from Underworld.
Tupele, 32, said: "I would have liked my last scene to be more dramatic.
"When I chose to leave they said they were already so far along in storylines there was only so much they could do.
"Kelly wasn't involved heavily with a lot of people so it was easier to do that."
Tupele will take part in tomorrow's Soap Star Mile Challenge for Sports Relief along London's Embankment.
Others due to run include EastEnders' Melissa Suffield and John Altman, Hollyoaks' Anthony Quinlan and Emmerdale's Sophie Powles.

Kelly was never a major character, so I think her ending suited her. Not every character can leave in dramatic fashion. Pity she had to be so bitchy to Janice though.
I'm glad Kelly's gone too. Nick was a bit mean sacking her in front of everyone, wasn't he? He could have asked her to step into the office to do it. I thought her exit was quite dramatic given she's only a minor character.

It was mean sacking her in front of everyone, but I think it was the way Carla wanted it.
I think you're probably right that that's the way Carla wanted it.

Agreed about Kelly's exit, totally rushed and stupid especially the way she just suddenly started insulting all the girls out the blue.
Feel so sorry for Gail :(

:rotfl: And Liz's face when she asked for gin and apple juice was hilarious.haha that was brill :D
Nick doesnt seem to care too much about his mother only David which i am shocked about
I agree that it's shocking that David is the one that cares so much about Gail's incarceration, but it feels right at the same time. They've always had a very intense relationship, whether good or bad.

Why does gail and audrey think of nick as the golden boy, he has never been there, and now that he is here, he's not interested in his family - business always comes first to the likes of him.
Im really liking david right now,
Janice was funny "when i told leanne about kellly, she said kelly prob enjoyed getting the sack more than she enjoyed sleeping with him" llol

It's the usual reason why not-so-nice people are rated highly - because they're materially successful. It's really unfair on David (and I didn't think I'd ever be complaining about that!). I'm glad David told Audrey and Nick some home truths last night.

it was Dannii the student (one who went out with Russ)
Norris in full-on busybody mode, using his much derided phone camera to snap Audrey and Lewis, was classic Corrie.
I'm glad Molly took the arrogant Kevin down a peg or two. The world doesn't revolve around him and his family.
It's ridiculous that Sunita would want to move her and the kids from her spacious home in the leafy suburbs to a small flat in Coronation Street.
I'm glad Julie told Eileen about Jesse coming on to her. He didn't even seem to consider the possibility that Julie would tell! It was nice to see the sisters bonding afterwards.
Is that the first time anyone's ever left the Street by hightailing it down the middle of the road? :rotfl: Better than the back of a taxi, I suppose.
yeh i think it was! I liked Jesse as well. I thought that to about sunita, you wuldnt want to move to that flat.
Maybe Sunita felt rather lonely out there and realised she missed the old neighbourhood?
Yeah, I suppose that is a reasonable explanation, since she used to live on the Street. She's probably nostaligic for it.
She did say that her neighbours hadnt really accepted her so maybe its a racist thing.
However its really just a script ploy to allow Dev and Sunita to buy Marias house. What puzzles me is that if Dev has so many shops why should he choose to live in a two up two down in Coronation Street

I've often wondered why Dev is in Coronation Street so much. Does he ever go to his other shops? :hmm:

27-03-2010, 17:43
Didn't they just bring the other shops into it for the Mad Maya storyline lol
parkerman
27-03-2010, 17:45
He's supposed to own seven shops isn't he?
Yes, I believe he had 7 shops when Sunita found out about his other children. Strange that Amber has not been home from university :hmm:

She obviously doesn't go to Oxford. :lol:
I understand Tina pushing people away her her grief, but couldn't Michelle Keegan have stopped the spray tanning for this storyline? A grieving Tina wouldn't be thinking about things like tanning, so the fluorescent orange look is even more silly than usual.
Steve and Becky's shenanigans were hilarious last night - long may their "passion" continue. I particularly laughed when Becky said "I hate seeing you all limp". :rotfl:
I'm loving Nick and David's scenes together - they have great chemistry. Nick definitely deserved both punches.

I love graham he is just a breath of fresh air in soapland
Dev: "We can't live here"
Sunita: "Why not"
Dev: "Its Coronation Street!" Hahahaha
That was brilliant, poor becky, just watching the omnibus now, its been good this week.

Dev: "We can't live here"
Sunita: "Why not"
Dev: "Its Coronation Street!" Hahahaha
Think it's a bit silly really, but fits in with the story of course. Didn't they say it was a " 2 up 2 down " ? Surely they would need 3 bedrooms? Sunita recently said she was giving the children separate rooms.
I don't think they'd move into a two up two down in reality. I'm sure they could find a three-bedroomed house close to Coronation Street.
I've found the miscarriage storyline with Steve and Becky very moving - they make a great couple and I hope they stay together.
i agree, it was really touching, felt so srry for becky and steve, it was really good.
*-Rooney-*
05-04-2010, 00:05
yeah i felt sorry on them too, especially when she was thinking steve was going to leave her cos she couldnt have a baby
I thought marias house was bigger than 2 bedroom, she has had a few people stay in it at the one time
But this is coronation street an its tardis housing! I mean look how many are meant to live in the Barlows!

true, i was just wondering why dev was worrying about the number of rooms when no one else has ever had that problem

Has Rita had some work done?
I wish she had slapped Audrey back
they were brillirant scenes between audrey and rita, the writing was great. Im loving corrie at the moment.

i dont remember alf - what was the story with rita and alf, did rita and alf have an affair? they didnt go into it in the argument?
I can vaguely remember Alf but can't remember what happened with him and Rita either. I don't think he and Rita had an affair. I do remember that everyone thought Audrey was a gold-digger when she married him though. Maybe he had a deep friendship with Rita, but Audrey came along and turned his head.
I can remember him at the end of his time at coronation street shortly before he died, but my dad was saying that they used to be friends, it was to do with the council i think. I cant really remember though.
I've been doing a bit of reading around, and apparently Alf used to lust after Rita (before he met Audrey) but it wasn't reciprocated. Then, after Alf died, Audrey found a photo of Rita and Alf and accused Rita of having an affair with him. It turned out that the photo was a double-exposure and Rita wasn't actually standing with Alf at all, so her accusations were without foundation. It's obviously still a sore point between them, though.

Rita and Alf were friends as they both owned shops. When Audrey appeared on the street she was a bit of a tart. She was a single mum but Gail hadn't seen her for a couple of years. The impression was that Audrey resented having Gail as it stopped her having a life she thought she deserved. Then she married Alf and there was a lot of talk that she only married him for his money. Alf always held atorch for Rita but she loved bad boy Len Fairclough. Audrey knows she was always second best to Rita.
I enjoyed Leanne's proposal to Peter - it was the right thing to do after she ruined his proposal. No doubt their wedding will be full of drama.

Friday's Episode was so funny. That party John and Fiz went to made me laugh my head off. John 's Right, they are Mental!
yeah, i agree, it was when Fiz was talking about Marujana.
Was Kyle the guy who plays Bolton Smilie in waterloo Road?? It looked like him and that he had grown his hair.
Loved Leannes proposal

Too much Fiz and John last night!
I know, Im a fan of them but last night was just Over Load.
John just couldn't let this teaching thing go. He was acting like 5 year old by the way he kept on going at Fiz. Pour Chesney, left in the dark again.
How amazing was Molly and Tyrone's 3D scan? I wish they'd had those when I was pregnant.
It's amazing that John only thought of ID theft a few days ago and he's already got a teaching job. :eek:
You'd have thought that Natalie would have had enough of making a fool of herself over factory owners.
Natalie? Do you mean Natasha perhaps?
Yes, I do mean Natasha. :o
I've got no sympathy for Kevin's predicament. He's behaved badly at every turn - from having the affair in the first place, to how cruelly he's treated Molly since dumping her - now even pressuring her to have an abortion.
I don't trust Lewis an inch. Someone that smooth must have a dark side.

Wasn't Friday's Episodes so funny.
John and Fiz looked so guilty...
It made me laugh :lol:
I can't understand that the guy from the evening school did not report John to the police after finding out that he can't teach anymore. Surely that would normally happen rather than just escorting somebody from the building?
That's a good point, I didn't think of that. They probably should have reported him.
I just can't get used to the new Brian Tilsley, I think Ben Price's acting is terrible and there is no chemistry between him and Natasha
parkerman
18-04-2010, 11:17
I agree Perdy. I think he is the male equivalent of Louisa Lytton as far as acting ability goes...
Was Amber not meant to come and stay with Dev once in a while? She has not been home from university for months, not at Christmas or Easter. Shame really, I liked her and I think her and Sunita would get on great.

I don't rate his acting either, but I think he's got good chemistry with the rest of his family so I think he works quite well in that respect. He doesn't convince as a hard-nosed businessman though.
