How contrived was that meeting between Tina and Nick?
Welcome to Soapland! :)
LOL im just watchin the repeat now, trust her to walk into THAT bar and sit down right next to him :rolleyes:
THAT was very annoying
The xmas day ep was bloody awful
i agree it was really bad compared to eastenders. it didnt even feel like corrie had made the effort to make it special.
Obviously you lot were watching a different episode of Corrie and Deadenders than me. Eastenders was exactly the same as it always is DEPRESSING. The same storylines every year just with different characters. At least Corrie gave us a bit of light releif. Fair enough the Tina and Nick story was a bit contrived and pointless. The rest of the episode was great. Its just a pity that we all knew about Sallys Cancer from the spoilers otherwise NOBODY would have seen that coming. Even the lighthearted bit between Ashley and Claire was funny. No rapes, murders or poison dwarfs overacting. Both Corrie and Emmerdale were miles ahead of the Beebs prozac inducing crap.
I agree with alan. I thought the Coronation Street Christmas episode knocked spots off the Eastenders one. It was witty and funny with a real bit of poignancy thrown in with Sally and Kevin and Molly's relationship. It was much more like real life than Eastenders which was ok as a story but they're not real people who inhabit Walford unlike those who live in Weatherfield.
I found Coronation street depressing, with Sally telling Kevin about her cancer. And Kevin was absolutely horrible to Molly! After all he had said to her earlier too.
Eastenders had a proposal between Bianca and Ricky, so not all doom and gloom!
the reason the Corrie xmas episode felt a bit rubbish was because it was mostly about Kevin and Molly, aka the world storyline for years.
Looks like you missed the Corrie Panto, Beckys views on pregnancy, The dinner at Gails, Family fun at the Barlows and all the rest bubbling along as snippets of future storylinesQuote:

Thank God at least next Crimbo there will be no Peggy. Wonder whose turn it will be to be murdered. Who will be involved in the guess the daddy story. Who will storm off in a black cab. What as yet unknown and unbelievable fairmily secret will be revealed. What new addition will there be to the Mitchell ClanQuote:

Nick should be 30 years old now, Ben Price looks way too old and so far I have not been impressed with his acting skills :nono:
He doesnt look like he could be Gails son
Ben Price is 37.
He looks 10 years older than thatQuote:

He looks his age I think
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
Gail's dress :eek:
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
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.
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 maybeQuote:

Ha ha, Mary has her beady little eyes on Norris again and he can't say NO :lol:
Graeme crying for Rosie :lol:
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.
