Leave Blanche out of it.:rotfl: I agree with you Excellent show tonight. Not just one major storyline going on but lots of small plots and stories interwoven together all heading towards a big Christmas climax. Top notch acting and writing tonight as usual. Its only a matter of time now before RATBOY blows the whistle on the crimper and the scruffy builder. The resulting catfight should be enjoyable.Quote:

And even Corrie makes mistakes. I noticed the spelling on the newspaper billboard that NOZZER:D was putting out spelt JEWEL as JEWELL:nono:
Totally agree with you all the little plots are great. Sally was great over the letter from Craig, just how a mother acts. Can't wait to see how far David will push Maria? Do you think she will sleep with him to silence him?
It sounds like i'm in the minority here but I didn't find the first two episodes all that great? :confused:
It was the 8.30 one which I really enjoyed. :cool: :)
I have found the handling of things post-Fred's death to be wildly inaccurate on so many levels. I am sure you can back me up on that. Very disappointing. Good to see Archie back though. :)Quote:

Norris/Rita were very good value as always, as was Audrey.
Sally's little chat with Rosie was good but I didn't quite buy Craig's all out efforts since he arrived in Berlin.
Best stuff for me went to Bev/Ashley/Blanche. Blanche in particular was in top form today from her scene with Bev, to that very good scene in the butchers where Maggie Jones showed she can play the soft-side of Blanche just as well as the comical side. Well done.
Jamie and Frankie - ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Send them to Budapest I think, rather than Norris and Rita, and make it a single ticket....
Yes totally. How did they get Fred into such a small coffin. And how did four men manage to carry the coffin. Why so few at the funeral???. But then again all soaps handle the death bit very poorly. Perhaps a bit more research is called for.Quote:

Bev.. She is really winding me up at the moment. That was really not on, putting Fred into a gravy pot, for Ashley. Besides, Ashley should get all of him, not just half. Get rid of her soon please, only one ruining it.
Rita & Norris were funny.. loved Norris's little notes for Ken :lol:
Frankie & Jamie.. Still shamfully enjoying it. You can see Frankie does hold something for Jamie!
Kevin.. Did anyone else watch that Celebrity Darts thing on Challenge... Well Michael Le Vell was on there (and won), and I just can't watch him as Kevin in the same way any more :lol:
Liking the Maria & David stuff also.
Roll on Wednesdays episode.
Oh, Bev is so irritating at the moment. She can't even act anyway.
I agree totally. Will Bev be leaving anytime soon?Quote:

Well she's running out of men to sleep with in Weatherfield so it's an option. The only alternatives are Ken, Norris, or even Jack Duckworth. :eek:
The platts at family councelling !!!!!!! id pay to watch that one.
Loved Fiz on the scooter.
Fiz on the scooter was painful.
I had hoped Corrie was breaking away from the ott panto rubbish yet it seems to be moving backwards on that front. Norris waking Ken up was funny however.
Loved the women talking about Bev! :rotfl: she is getting right on my nerves with her overacting. Can't wait for her to leave and David needs to be axed.
Do you mean that literally? :lol:Quote:

I find Cilla and Les very amusing. They are the ultra chavs and every back street has someone like them. They are larger than life and are meant to be an amalgam of all your neighbours from hell. They provide the comic relief tinged with being two of life's unfortuates who if they fell into a bucket of roses would come up smelling of s**t.
It's not that I don't find them amusing, I just don't like all the panto rubbish that they always seem to be involved in.
That is NOT amusing. :nono:
Oh Yes It IS:D Arghh look out behind you:lol:Quote:

All that head swapping must finally be affecting her brain.
Lmao! Good one! :rotfl:Quote:

Cilla has been calmed down for a while. Remember when she portrayed herself as a woman hurt after Les's night with Janice during the Winter - proof Wendy Peters can do drama, as well as comedy.
Good episodes tonight btw. :)
:rotfl: at the Tracey comment Parkerman!!
Good episodes tonight! Loved the whole Charlie/David drowning thing :lol: And of course Tracey and Marias fight, and just that whole storyline to be honest.
Loved Cilla. Loved the Websters. Even loved Ken :searchme:
Still love Frankie/Jamie also :p
I love sophie's comedy and carnt wait for her to get her own big story line. The fight on the st wasnt very exciting though
Two excellent episodes. The usal mix of drama and comedy. Is it just me or is Sally becoming more like a cross between Laura Ingles and Mary Ellen Walton:sick: Who was she trying to impress tonight. She is getting cornier and cornier. How ugly was Tracyluv when she gurned her face up at the slapper with the scissors. Its a close call as to which of the two have slept with more men.
Great fun Keep it up Corrie
good episode last night thought Charlie trying to drown David was funny but scary,
Blimey a mention of Deirdre working at Alf's shop. That must date back to around 1980 from memory. :eek:
The who david and charlie scene was great, and maria telling Tracey ! You just know that Tracey is going to catch Charlie and then pow !
Oooh what an episode tonight. Tracy's face at the end!! I think i'm going to like this storyline! :cool: Corrie's just getting better & better !
A good episode tonight. I am interested to know why Tracy has suddenly started being friendly to Claire. Something to do with a certain upcoming storyline maybe..? :hmm:
I quite enjoyed tonights episodes. I thought Steve was quite funny ha. And the whole Tracy and Claire thing :rotfl: How boring is Claire bless her :p
The Gail thing is boring me..as is the Hayley/Becky thing.. but maybe it will get better. Still enjoying the Frankie/Jamie thing, I like their subtle interaction ;-)
Oh dear, tonight saw the return of Vermin. :sick:
Oh yeah, forgot about that!!! I thought we had gotten rid of him for like ever!! :angry:
If the episode had more Steve, more Blanche, more Norris it would have been great but alas we have the boring Bev who I just want to disappear of the screen and I havent even mentioned the Frankie/Danny/Jamie storyline which is doing my head in. As If you could believe someone as glamourous as Frankie would love a scruffy looking tramp, beyond believeable if you ask me.,
What about Julia Roberts :love: and Lyle Lovett:sick:Quote:

Two questions re-last night's episode.
1. Why is it, as last night, when the "girls" are waiting to go in to the factory you only ever see the full cast members sitting around on the pavement outside yet when they show pictures inside the factory there are others around? Do they come at a different time? The same applies to when they leave the factory at lunch time and night.
2. Sarah started a fight with David last night because she said he'd used all the milk, but it was quite clear there was about half a pint of milk left in the bottle when a shot of the table was shown. Has Coronation Street imported an Eastenders scriptwriter and/or continuity director? It's the sort of thing they'd do but you don't expect from Corrie.
Hayley is making a mistake by taking Becky on cause it is obvious it is going to be a disaster and she will be lucky if her friends help her when it all goes wrong
Corrie has plenty of continuity errors. For a start the factory tripled in size overnight to the size of a football ground. The workers inside Underworld may have been on shift, and when they left the 'girls' outside would enter, but then all of them often leave work together. Very odd. :confused:
No idea about the milk. I had a call of nature during that scene. :o
As for the episode:
Frankie and Jamie - utterly repulsive. They aren't hiding Debra Stephenson's pregnancy well either:cool: )Spoiler:
Vermin was predictably awful.
Steve was good, as was Liz.
Gail and Sally were good.
Michelle continues to impress.
Roy, Hayley and Becky were good as well.
All in all, pretty good :cheer: apart from the incest nonsense :thumbsdow
The one thing that annoyed me was everyone saying Bev has nowhere to go. What about Shelley ? Has everyone forgotten her already? It would be more realistic for Bev to go there ?
Don't like the Jamie and Frankie storyline either - and who is dressing Debra Stephenson (Frankie) ? Her clothes are awful ( and I agree with the pregnancy not being well disguised.
Otherwise enjoying Steve, Liz , Tracy and the return of Becky!!
i lie the return of Becky as well.
Vermin is awful though, whos idea was it to bring him back, the thought of him and Liz the other night, put me right of my pasta.
