Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[Brucie]

I said to my wife that Ken's hair didn't look any different. She said, "Well, she's not a real hairdresser you know, she's just an actor...." er.....

And she'll never be a successful one if she shuts the salon at 5 O'clock. Not much chance of getting your hair cut after work at Audrey's! Mind you, the working hours in Coronation Street are very odd - hence four chaps who work can go on a Friday afternoon bender starting at 2pm.

Her character is supposed to be 74 (A little older than she is)

There's some very old cast members - 5 of them in the Rovers on last night's episode - him indoors was looking up ages for us - and so we laughed when Mary said about how her friends were all old! We'd noticed too!

I've always wondered why the actors playing hairdressers in Corrie aren't given some training so they can at least pretend to cut hair realistically. It's also ridiculous that more effort isn't put into giving the actors real haircuts when they're supposed to have had one. It takes me out of a scene when I'm paying more attention to a character's unchanged haircut than what's being said.

...we laughed when Mary said about how her friends were all old! We'd noticed too!

It's strange to think that Mary's in the same age group as Steve etc because she fits in so well with the older group.

Ken's and Audrey's friendship is just fine. I just don't think it's realistic for a 80+ man who has lost the love of his life few months previously to be eyeing on some other woman. And not realistic people of that age having new relationships all the time either. There's so many other things they could write to them.
Roy's and Cathy's friendship/relationship has been written better. I really like that.

I'm sorry, but I just find Tyrone and Fiz so boring...Tyrone has never been my favourite, he's bit simple and not in a good way. He was fine when Jack&Vera were alive, but since they died he should have moved away too. Fiz was better before but her behaviour towards Roy after Hailey died changed my opinion of her forever. And them two together? ..yawn..
Poor Hope and her illness..It's terrible thing to happen in real life and if I see documentary of parents REALLY going through something so devastating I have tears pouring down my cheeks..but this is not real, and especially when characters are so off putting to me like Fiz and Tyrone, I can't really feel anything for them. Just keep knitting and ignore them when they appear on the screen-which is too much now.

(Last time I have cried watching soap, was in Emmerdale when we thought Pete had killed Ross...and before that when Donna died..Emmerdale is really good with emotional stuff..still)

Mary is a great character. Really like her. She's funny. As well as Tim, who they should really keep writing funny lines, he has such a cute silly face when he smiles! And Eva-my favorite! Great to see her back-she has the funniest laugh!!!

Platts..I couldn't care less if it all comes out and Kylie will go..(Please-Sarah too!!!!) I feel sorry for poor Max and David though..Hopefully David continues to be a good dad for Max and Lily.

I have two worries from the week gone/coming:

that it took Beth popping in to notice that Hope needed to see a Dr/Hospital

and if Sophie finds Kevin new business premises? will he and his garage crew have to work 'away' from the cobbles??!! that is unheard of......
