Yes, this sudden love is very convenient. That's why I mentioned retconning in an earlier post (which basically means changing the past - the very recent past in this case!).Quote:

Eileen has more chemistry than Michelle with Steve :p Eva could be a good match with SteveQuote:

I LOVED the two episodes yesterday, but maybe it was just me? I thought they had everything, funny scenes, heartfelt/emotional scenes. It was just all over really well done. It reminded me of the good old Corrie. Steve and Liz had me falling down from the sofa I was laughing so hard from their facial expressions :rotfl:
Sick of Nick already telling Leanne what to do. Never did like them together though.
I was laughing too. It was comedy gold
I loved Gail's face in the Rovers. I can see Queen Kate is going to make the Platts the main family in the soap and rightly so. I sometimes wonder if it may have been better for Nick to have bought the Rovers and we never had the Bistro, which is so out of place in a run down area like Weatherfield and Coronation Street. Sadly the Mcdonald's are not working in the Rovers. The scenes in the Rovers are the worst I can remember and I have been regularly watching since 1975.
I think in General we have a problem in all the soaps with the publicans. It doesn't work in the Woolie now Diane has gone, the Carters are really grating on me in the Vic and the McDonalds in the Rovers. I long for the days of Ang and Den, Annie Walker and I just loved Amos and Mr Wilks. :)

I honestly think Big Jim back behind the bar in the Rovers would work, so it would. Liz makes a good back street pub landlady but Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeechelle is way out of place anytime she gets behind the bar.
The cast must have to bite their lip when acting opposite Steve MacDonald when he is pulling those stupid faces.
And me! What really made the difference was Gail's combative attitude to Leanne and to the baby news. That was old school Gail, not the simpering wreck of a person who used to fawn and gush all over Carla... :sick:Quote:

It can't be easy being in a relationship with a woman who's having someone else's baby, even going into it with open eyes. He's coping with it pretty well so far - but he's no saint!
I actually prefer steely Nick to the wimp who Carla used to run rings about. He was a bit of a baddie when the character first returned played by Ben Price, and I'm glad to see a little of that back. A happy medium between the two extremes is good because it makes him a more layered and realistic character. I do think he's trying to do his best by Leanne and the baby though. She feels guilty because she's lying to him and knows that his attitude would be very different if he was aware the baby's father wasn't just some random who's unlikely ever to show up in their lives claiming rights over it.
The Platts have been the main family in Corrie for a good while now surely? I agree they deserve that place.Quote:

The Nazirs are an exception (especially Alya :wub::heart: ) and they have been in the forefront of a few stories yet are not taking over the whole show. Corrie has good established characters and should play on their strengths rather than push forward people for the sake of a few points in the ratings.Quote:

I agree about the Nazirs (especially Zeedan :wub::heart::D ). They're an interesting family played by decent actors and haven't been forced down our throats.
What happened to Nick's brain damage ?
He still has it. Why else would he get back with Leanne? :lol:Quote:

too much maria and caz :thumbsdow
To be expected in view of forthcoming storylineQuote:

It was good to see some actual hairdressing being done in Audrey's for once, although I did notice that Eva still had dark roots afterwards. :D
Coincidence of the week must go to Leanne meeting both Michelle and Liz in the street "at a loose end" so they could help with the move. This contrived throwing together of characters in conflict (which is also currently happening with Eva and Maria) is irritating to say the least.
I'm not sure Caz ever went AWOL. I think she was suspended and then kicked out for attacking someone (during which she ostensibly injured the ankle that took such an inordinate time to heal).Quote:

Does she not have parents or siblings? I can only presume she was dishonorably discharged from the Army.Quote:

I've no doubt you're correct, but when have Corrie ever allowed reality to get in the way of the story they want to tell? :pQuote:
