They have been chosen really well and they all interact brilliantly together. I am really looking forward to next year where I have the feeling that they will become very central in corrie. I like the fact that Steve is being put with the Connors too..
Yes I agree totally they are an excellent additon to the street and there has been some lovely and commical scenes with them. I liked the other night's when Michelle was telling Paul/Liam about Jamie/Frankie the look on their faces, espec Paul's:lol: Paul cracks me up and he's so cheeky:love:

The scene with cilla and the Un Birthday was really good. She is such a changed character.

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

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

Excellent viewing from Corrie right now.

Wednesday 20th December

Tonight's episode was great.

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

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

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

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

I am struggling to understand the timespan of this 'diary'.

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

...Hmmmm......!

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

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

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

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

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

So the diary is just one book, a book spanning over a decade!

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

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

Been a good few episodes of Corrie, typical Steve getting his date with Michelle ruined! :rolleyes: I like the diary stuff, i don't know much about Corrie's history but i like the way Sophie is making everyone believe she's sidekick, it's quite funny.

I thought the stuff with Steve was quite good. I love him, he's awesome :D

I'm also really enjoying the stuff with Tracey! But feel slightly sorry for Claire.
