I saw on telly this morning that they are making a new film of Grange Hill and they will be bringing back some of the old original characters as parents and grandparents.

So, you never know your Tucker's luck, alan, you might yet see Todd Crappy on the big screen!

Perish the thought

You said 'you might yet see Todd Crappy on the big screen!' I thought you meant that Todd from Corro was in Grange Hill - 'they will be bringing back some of the old original characters'?

Todd Boyce who plays the Canuck murderer is different to Todd Carty (Crappy) although very similar in some ways. Neither can act, both played pathetic storylines with rubbish scripts

Ah right, thanks for explaining that clearly to me, being hard-of-learning.
I thought Todd Crappy was a reference to Todd in Corro (Gareth Pierce). Way too many Todds in these soaps.

I can't believe there was a last minute cancellation for Chesney & Gemma's wedding reception. I don't think that has ever happened in Soapland before.

Dee-Dee walks past their kitchen to go out and get a coffee when she knows Paul is likely to do a runner. She has a sharp brain that woman!
