They should have sacked SB immediately not wait for a handover

When I read the interviews she gave at first
I was hopeful and still.am.
As long as its not a rosy memory from the
past that cannot be repeated exactly as before.
There was always humour and good older
characters but time has past and a lot
are no longer with us!
My heart sank when the 4 she mentioned
as giving more time to were Rita Norris
Ken & Audrey. I will be kind and say -I find
2 of those very limited.(imo)
Must hope for best.
I totally agree! Some great ideas suggested by swmc66. :clap:Quote:

Coronation Street's Carla Connor will be terrorised by thugs in dark scenes this month.
Tracy will overhear Carla and Robert talking about their one-night stand, which happened on New Year's Day.

Coronation Street: Carla Connor will be terrorised by thugs
© ITV
Tracy wasn't with Robert at the time as they'd split up, but she feels angry and betrayed that he's gone with her arch-enemy.
While Tracy is in the kitchen of the Bistro, Carla gets terrorised by thugs wanting money and this leads to danger…
Coronation Street airs these scenes this month on ITV.
It is a shame Tammy but she needs toQuote:

off intelligent and having reasonable relaionships
then get dumbed down in the cause of drama!
I wonder if that came out in their recent survey.
A few nice chats with Roy wont put that
perception right.
Nick.would be a good father - but she needs to
sort herself first- and the clocks ticking!!
Would like to think it won't happen. Carla should take the morning after pill if it is a concern. That's what they're for isn't it? Unless she doesn't mind having a child by anyone.Quote:

She might not mind who the father is( tho.IQuote:

at the time of conception and throughout
pregnancy with all the drinking etc- for the sake
of the child!
Unless she going to use a surrogate- not done
in British Soap !??
Go.on her break and come back.with an
" Heres one made earlier " baby!
Katie Sugden was a surrogate for Grayson and Perdita SinclairQuote:

I think I was thinking of something more official&
discreet with a proper contract and Carla coming
back with surprise baby.Or like happened in previous
times.Where supposed mother disappeared
abroad with a female companion ( actually was
pregnant)
They returned some time later with surprise baby
the baby which was the husbands was brought up
by his wife & himself.One answer to fertiility problems!
Or the worry of recreating my Hilda Ogden tribute
act has been a bit much.
Not sure Hilda will be impressed when I tell
her about the costume Moonstorm WONT be
wearing- not much of one anyway!!
carla gets hit by a car
She could have stopped as she was pregnant, she did if I recall when she wasQuote:

Bad news for Carla Connor fans. When it was announced that Coronation Street’s Alison King was leaving the cobbles it was claimed she was just taking a break, but the actress has now admitted that fans weren’t told the truth and confirmed she is leaving.
While bosses are not going to kill off her character, Alison says she’s moving on to a new chapter in her life.
She explained: “I am actually leaving. It's been put out there that I'm taking a sabbatical, but I'm not. They’ve very graciously left the doors open for me to come back if I want to - and I haven't ruled that out, but this is a new chapter for me. In my head, I only meant to stay four years. And I'm now going into my tenth year. It’s incredibly hard. My daughter Daisy, who's six, is the main victim because she has to share so much of her Mummy’s time with Corrie. A lot of the time, Carla's stories are high octane, emotional stuff. The learning of it takes up my weekends and it can be mentally and physically exhausting to perform.”
Alison added: “I miss being other people. It’s what I went to drama school for. I love playing diverse characters and meeting new people - and, truthfully, I also want to be able to get my voiceover career going again. There’s all sorts of things that I used to do, which I can’t do while I’m on Coronation Street. So, those are the reasons, really.”
:(
So disappointed to read that Carla's leaving is not just a break. I wish it hadn't been stated it was a break, as it makes it worse. Quite understand why Alison King wants to leave though.
I cant blame her moving on as her storylines have been a constant repeat, I hope Alison can go on to other projects and do well
Is she dating Shayne Ward, I read that in one magazine not sure it was true
:(jCarla started as an interesting independentQuote:

skills to much better effect!:(
Not sure about repetitive stories but she had some cracking ones and sure made them convincing. I shall miss her, of course this also means that Nick will be heartbroken when she leaves :(Quote:

EE did the same when Letitia Dean left for the second time. EE was going through a rough patch and they said Letitia was having a break and it took her 6 years to return. Perhaps 'The Hat' didn't want any more stick and thought it was Ms Oates problem now?
This is a major body blow for Coronation Street. Kate Oates has got her work cut out now. Good look to Alison I am sure she will have success in future roles and it sounds as though she wants to spend more time with her daughter. A real talent.
Trying to thnk of her major story lines. There was Peter, there was the guy who attempted rape. there was Tina and Rob storyline. The time tracy saved her from the mnibus Paul connor dying. The fire that tracy accidentally started. Cannot think of much more.
There was her kicking Eddie, her husband, out. Phelan, the guy who raped her, is coming back .
Er......:hmm::confused:Quote:
