go with replused! I think it's the only option.

good acting from the pair of them though. the girl who plays leanne really is rather good isn't she? I often (ok I've just thought of it!) wonder what happened to the other sister after she left. i thought she was an excellent actress but you never she her in anything do you? Anyone know? Anyone care?

She was in a programme called 'Blackpool' not long a go.

I have always thought that Jane Danson was a great actress and I am loving the story line between her and Bradley Walsh. But then again I love Corrie, I think each and every character has a part to play, love em or hate em. I think that is what makes Corrie so great (for me anyway) the diversity of the characters!

I haven't heard of the actress that play Toyah (the sister) either Dol but I thought she also was a good little actress and I hope we see her in something soon.

Im sorry but Bradley Walsh ................ i soooooo would :blush:

Im sorry but Bradley Walsh ................ i soooooo would :blush:

Ewww! I so wouldn't - lol.

No one in Corrie that does it for me really (although I rather like Steve McDonald who reminds me a bit of Robson Green sometimes although he's losing his hair at an alarming rate and really shouldn't do the comb-overs)

I do love Corrie though, however much I get frustrated with some of the story lines I couldn't not watch it. They're all like old friends really.

Im sorry but Bradley Walsh ................ i soooooo would :blush:

I'm with ya on that one Bonsai!:laugh:

I dont know what it is about - i would ususally NEVER go for someone who looks like him...but he does have something thought doesn't he! :wub:

i am really liking the storylines at the mo - i love the leanne storyline and yea she a great actress.

it tool me a while to get inot the book club thing with ian mckellen but i thought they finished it off well.

I cant wait to see charlie get his come uppance but i'm hoping it'll happens sooner rather than later as these things tend to get a bit dragged out....

Totally agree about the unbelievable storyline with Mel Hutchwright. Would canny and feisty northern women such as Rita, Blanche, Betty and even Emily really be such saps and let the old toad walk away with their hard earned cash - er I dont think so. Hats off to Ian Maclennan though. As for Liz who really cares who this old trout is going to be shagging next, did you see her neck in yesterday's eppi, all scraggy with the skin hanging - yuk! She always reminds me of someone who works on the fairground. More unbelievable storylines coming up of how rough looking middle aged women seem to cast a spell over the menfolk - IF ONLY!!!!

I often (ok I've just thought of it!) wonder what happened to the other sister after she left. i thought she was an excellent actress but you never she her in anything do you? Anyone know? Anyone care?

She was reading the CBeebies Bedtime Hour Story the other day :ninja:

I haven't been watching this properly for a while, but is it me or has Rita gone from being quite cool, to being as dotty as Blanche and Noris?

I haven't been watching this properly for a while, but is it me or has Rita gone from being quite cool, to being as dotty as Blanche and Noris?

As I said before (somewhere) the original format, all those years ago, had the 3 batty old women, Ena Sharples, Minnie Caldwell and Martha Longhurst who were always in "the snug" putting the world to rights or poking their noses in.

These now being gone, we have Blanche, Emily and Rita stepping into the same role, with Norris added in as honorary old woman.

I think Liz is now the Elsie Tanner character, tart with a heart?

Vera and Jack have taken over from Hilda and (ooh what was her hubby's name - was it Charlie?).

Blimey, I am feeling my age thinking back to when the "oldies" were the "youngies" :wink2:

Dol, the other sister, I think her name is Georgia, is going to be in some big drama soon on the BBC, I remember seeing it on their website a while back, but I can't remember what it's called now. Wasn't she also in Blackpool?

It was Stan, Critique :D

Oh yeah, thanks Ils, I'd completely forgotten. She used to call him "Chuck" though didn't she (eeeeeee chook) :bag:

I said just that Monday night, Crit.

Great minds ...... :)

Due to Mini G's bed time I've been missing this and am now confused did Charlie hit Shelley? I think he must have, but am not 100%

The twist here is that no, for a change he didn't hit her, she did walk into a door. Obviously, though, everyone will think he did, adding more fuel to Shelley's mistaken belief that everyone is against him and that it isn't deserved :(

Thanks Criique, I was a bit confused from the way they were talking about it, it didn't seem as though he had hit her - although you never know with him!

I am sure he will in time!

Indeed :D

I think they've developed that storyline well, the way Shelley has been sucked in a so on. And the actor who plays Charlie is very good at the sneaky psycho stuff.

I'm not sure whether we're supposed to feel sorry for Shelley, but I just think she's a pathetic tart.

Dev's reaction when Sunita told him she was pregnant was pure comedy. That man CANNOT act!

I'm still not sure how I feel about the Danny/Leeane story, although, it has to be said, there is far more chemistry between them, than between Jamie and Leeane.

Oh, and one other thing, Mike Baldwin's son is a tosser.

I dont feel sorry for Shelly one bit. For someone who can start a relationship with a man who slept with your own mother deserves everything she gets! I dont like the character of Shelly the way she throws her weight around in the Rovers and treats customers and staff, she never seems to do any work just order everyone else around. Whats all this with hiding in her room, surely she would have had to produce a sick cert to have got paid - its outrageous the way the pair have treated Fred, I say its outrageous.

.

Make me three girls - I just cannot feel sorry for Shelley!! she is playing a victim to the hilt and deserves Charlie - I wish she would just get lost I am so sick of it, I get really cross with women like this. She used to be funny and fiesty - now she is a down trodden victim - GET OUT SHELL!!

And Max LOL - he can't can he??:wacko:

I don't watch this ever okay - but sometimes i just 'hear' it whilst others do.

Dev's joke was a corker wasn't it?
"What do you get when you cross a cow with a shark? - i don't know , but i don't want to milk it!"
I'm still laughing.:ninja:

Yay..I just found all these pages about coronation street..my fave programme EVER...since I was teeny!
And a chance to bitch about silly soppy shelly.
WHAT a thicko!
The expression on her face last nite when she watched from the window as charlie went off out was just priceless!
The soppier she gets..the more I like charlie.
He's a bit gorge. :devil:

I wish they would write Shelly out and get a decent character behind that bar. Miss Piggy gets on my nerves. And whoever heard of boxing butchers - must be the silly season!!

Well I am on the edge of my seat wondering if Scooter will save the poor dying fish (not!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I think poor old Corrie has sunk as low as it can get at the moment. Needs a good strong storyline to bring it back up.

Shelley did catch Charlie asking the barmaid to run off with him though. Bet the dopey cow will accuse her of leading him on though :wallbash: Will she never learn?

Ok here goes..................

although I want to shake Shelley really hard back into reality, I can see why she is being like she is - she is a victim of domestic violence, and when you are in a situation like this, you have no self respect, no self esteem and no confidence, because the b@st@rd that you are involved with has stripped it all away.......

even when all of your friends around you are telling you to "wake up and smell the coffee" you dont have the confidence to do anything about it, so you will distance yourself from those who care, or, in your eyes the ones who are critisising - which is what the GIT has set out to do in the 1st place......my sister has been in this situation and so has one of my friends, but you have to wait for them to find out the hard way and be there to pick up the pieces when they finally see sense - which I am pleased to say my sis and friend did eventually do!

HAVING said all that....................I CANT BEAR TO WATCH IT - she is irritating the bejeebers out of me :w00t:

That's very true..about domestic violence and the effect it has on your sanity. Bullying has a lot to answer for.

But shelly was so silly even before she was being bullied.
Her dopey expressions and undying love was a feature of hers around the time of Peter too.
I know she's only a tv charachter, but really...she is too soppy and weak for words!
Grrrrr. I just want to shake some sense into her!

Corrie is truly boring right now. What with Norris and his book, Scooter and his fish and Ashley preparing to fight a eugene lookalike ..... it sends me to sleep nightly.

Edited to say - and why oh why does claire insist on wearing those god awful glasses ?

I have a sinking feeling that they are making Claire wear those horrendous glasses because they are trying to turn her into a Dreary Barlow type sex symbol. :sick:
She is the pretender to the Dreary throne.
I am afraid....VERY afraid.

Can anybody tell me what happened in last nites corrie please?
I missed it..and i'm wondering about silly shelly etc.
(I dont' want to know about the butchers and the fight tho') :bored:
Thanks..
A.D.

Here you go, a complete rundown of last night's episode. You will have to just skip the bits you don't care about

Wednesday's Episode (http://www.itv.com/page.asp?partid=330)

:laugh:

Thanks for that Critique..great website..I was unaware of it.
That will keep me happy for a bit.
:-)

I have to ask:
did anyone see the get up of liz mc donald on sunday evening...
when she was off out on her date!
oh dear...it was histerical!
:laugh:

:laugh:

Surely no-one in their right mind would go cycling in black stockings and a mini skirt and white trainers???? The wardrobe people on Corrie were 'avin a larf - weren't they??

And what on earth was that black stuff on thier faces?? It looks like they had sat next to a chimney that had had a downfall of soot!!

All so stooopid!!!:wacko:

And can I say I so so so so wanna punch that skinny mouth, Maddox kid who keeps winding dozy Ashley up. A character that was put on the screen to HATE!!!:ranting:

And wasn't poor Candice crestfallen when she went to the modelling auditions?? Poor little love.:cry:

All I can say is what on earth did the extremely rude model booker see in Wayne? He looks all of 14 years old, bit unsavoury if you ask me. Anyone recognise her as the actress that played the incestuous sister in Brookside? As for Liz, her get ups are getting more outlandish, loved the leopard print head band that matched her top the other day, perhaps they are trying to turn her into a 21st Century Bet Lynch!

Thank God I missed all that leopard stuff last night.
I DID enjoy the charlie/violet/charlie love triangle tho'.
WHAT is he like!
Pity Shelly wasn't hiding on the stairs that time, to hear every word.
She would probably still forgive him tho'........ :wallbash:

Pity Shelly wasn't hiding on the stairs that time, to hear every word.

She would have thought it was all VIOLETS fault of course, not her dear Charlie, how long is this story going to drag on for? It seems ludicrous that Fred the owner seems to give them carte blance to not work and/or help themselves to drinks in the bar without money seeming to go into the till!!!

Hurrah! Really enjoyed the charlie and shelly and violet bits last nite.
OOOH he's a smooth operator, he is.He says all the right things.
I would be eating out of his hands!

But I am soooooooooooooo over the fish tale. (see what I did there.!)
Time to move on.

I think i must have missed one of the corrie episodes that was crucial to the plot. Why was Violet shifty with Charlie ???


Im fed up with hearing about fish too. Let 'em die :naughty:

Well..on Monday nite charlie helped violet clear up after work and then insisted she stayed for a drink.She did'nt seem to mind.She drank wads!Charle made sure to that..and they got on famously..he was confiding in her about shelly..and basically they were drinking and flirting for hours.
Then they had a smooch...and charlie got up to go to the loo...(talk about ruining the moment!)He came back just in time to see violet about to flee out the door..as fast as her legs could carry her.She said..'I'm sorry...please don't tell jason'...
Charlie made some comment about 'you are as bad as that slapper upstairs'...
and he looked vicious and unimpressed.
And that's how it ended.Charlie being all mad..and violet being all guilty.
I'd say she does fancy him tho'.....

.....


I thought he went to get a condom. Cant think how a normally sensible girl like Violet got herself in that position in the first place, mind you could have been the beer goggles. Does anyone in that pub ever pay for a drink? Fred would be bankrupt in months!!!

Ooops I guess you are right about the condom...
that's just me being all naieve. :blush:

I cant' believe shelly wanted to change her mind about the operation last night, after making it all the way to the van.
Get on with it...I want to see the puffy eyes.

urgh...I saw the puffy eyes.That make up was VERY realistic looking.


I have to say though.....if some builder type hunk tried to drage me to his van and push me in and take me driving around Scotland for 2 glorious weeks...I'd go!
No problem. There would be no kicking and screaming.
Shelly Shelly Shelly...what are you like!
:-O

I have to say yesterday I actually felt sorry for Charlie - Shelly is a TOTAL pain and that scraggy old dipso of a mother - pluurreese!

At last Cilla is back to liven things up! Hurrah.

I think i would of left Shelley months ago - but how could anyone fancy Charlie ????? He doesnt do much for me, thats for sure.

oooh I think charlie is a bit dishy...
I'd let him take me to Scotland..that's for sure.
Hee...Cilla is gas.
But she did'nt seem as 'orange' yesterday as usual.
Hope she is not loosing her touch.
How cute was that kitten....
How cute was that vet...........
I think Sean is a scream.
:thumbsup:

how could anyone fancy Charlie ?????

I don't know, I think he is rank :sick:

I don't fancy him, personally (lips too thin for one thing), but I can see how women would. I think he plays this part of his character so well. Very dark. And the way he is manipulating Shelley is brilliant. The writing is superb.

I totally agree :thumbsup:

Charlie is a right creepy git isn't he. It sent shivers down my spine when he kissed Bev. Mind you Bev is a right ol slapper and is playing with fire there.

I love Cillas mate, is it Yana? OMG she is hilarious. I laughed me head off the other night, her antics had me in stitches. Trying to divert Dieadry

I suppose Kieran's character had run it's course so he had to go. Someone should tell Betty.
The other day when Diedry was singing it's raining men, I thought it was Norris! :w00t:

I've just snorted my tea, Bob! :laugh:

Hmmm, I wonder how the Tracey/Steve/Amy storyline is going to turn out. It's a bit silly really. First of all, you wouldn't leave a child of that age playing outside on their own for that length of time and I'm sure I wouldn't have been persuaded to take her to an airport of all places.

yeah..it's a bit crazy.
And like..did'nt blanche suspect anything out of the ordinary when tracy was being all nice to her???
AND...(I know it's only a soap and not real...) BUT...how come dreary did'nt pipe up about steve being the father when tracy was telling the police that he was'nt.
Dreary et al know the score.
Dreary is a TERRIBLE mohter!!!!! :-/
Her singing is hilarious tho'...'raining men'...how apt for Dreary!
heeheehee....

First of all, you wouldn't leave a child of that age playing outside on their own for that length of time and I'm sure I wouldn't have been persuaded to take her to an airport of all places.

Especially when you have a side gate that opens easily and you can see straight into the yard from the street - Tracey's acting was diabolical as well. It was plain silly.

Jaynee Mack!
Can't believe nobody has mentioned last nite's episode....and the saddle!
laugh.....
this is a bizzare programme!

And to think he's a friend of Ken Barlow too! Shocking. He wasn't right for Liz though.

I hope Charlie is going to go thru' with it and actually leave that silly bint. Hopefully she'll follow and we can get some decent bar staff in.

Im just bored with Corrie right now as its centering too much on the dozy barmaid and Charlie.

Apparently they get married in Sept.

Jaynee Mack!

They just don't know what to do next do they? They've run out of storylines and, as you say, it's just getting so bizzare. The Shelley/Charlie thing has dragged on too long til you don't give a hoot and think they deserve each other. The Tracy/Steve/Amy thing has gone too far. Emily would have poisoned Norris's tea by now or at least sent him packing. Likewise with Ken, Dreary and Blanche. Jack and Vera - who cares?

I give them a few points for bringing in the deaf woman and addressing the fact that deaf people do exist - but I take them back if it's just a "ratings" ploy. (Watch out for Eastenders to bring in a blind actor :( )

Oooh and what about Gail flirting with the Reflexologist - yuk! I could hardly bear to watch her facial contortions. I know that sounds contradictory in that not everyone is beautiful etc. but Gail really shouldn't do "girly" lol.

The saddle thing :w00t: Why is it that Liz McDonald looks like a tart, dresses like a tart and is then surprised when she's treated like a tart :glare:

It's totally gone off the rails but I'll still be watching and wondering why I bother :ninja:

This is the one programme I never miss, having said that, I do think it is going through a bad patch at the moment and I am not really interested in any of the main storylines.

am I the only one strangely fascinated by Charlie? He is a very handsome man, playing a very nasty part.


I don't watch Corrie much these days but last night I was very lazy and watched tv ALL night! (except for the bits i popped on here!!) ... my life is full!

am I the only one strangely fascinated by Charlie? He is a very handsome man, playing a very nasty part.




I think the part he plays is just to nasty for me to see past it, as I don't find attractive at all...

Is Ena Sharples still in it?

:bag:

oooh nooooo! I think he's a bit nice too.Kind of ruggedy-drinks in a pub in Clare-walks by himself in the mountains kind of way!
I think he is quite attractive.
Bit tired of all this silly shelly shenanigans story line tho'.
But I never miss corrie if i can help it.

Charlie kinda reminds me of my 1st bf and I can see where you are coming from girls - hes got that rugged, bad boy, naughty glint in his eye hasnt he...... but Im afraid the psycho bit has taken over and I have gone off him!

I squirm when I am watching the Charlie/Shelly storyline - I want to slap her and tell her to wake up and smell the effing coffee the dippy dopey mare :glare:

I actually found it very creepy t'other nite when silly shelly was crouched over him in her jim jams...asking him to marry her.The guy had just cheated on her...for f eck sake!
But there was just something very psycho and creepy and manic about HER!
:-O

I hadnt seen Corrie for months, but tuned in the other night.

Two things :-

(1) I cant believe the Shelley and Charlie storyline is STILL going on ...

and

(2) Did anyone catch Dev's "feigned surprise" look when he was told that Sunita was expecting twins.

I have NEVER in my entire life seen such a bad actor ! He is dreadful, and not seeing the show and then suddenly watching him in action really highlights the fact that he is embarrassingly bad.

I recognise Zak Shelley's therapist from somewhere but I can't put my finger on where from. Any ideas anyone?

wasnt he from 'The Office' ???

I don't think it is from there I know him Bonnie, as I didn't really watch 'The Office', he must have been in something else, but what I just can't remember.

wasnt he from 'The Office' ???

Yes Bonnie he was from The Office but his character name has slipped my mind. He was also in that Sunday programme about the female football team - Playing the Field.

And are vests the only item of clothing in Charlie's wardrope? :bored:

And are vests the only item of clothing in Charlie's wardrope? :bored:

Lol - it does seem to be all he wears doesnt it !!!! Also, in some shots it looked like Charlie had a sore eye, and in others he was perfectly ok. Had someone hit him in the show and i missed it ???

This storyline is really starting to grate now. When shelley joined she was a vibrant, fun character - and now i want to slap her, hard and tell her to snap out of it !!

He was also in that Sunday programme about the female football team - Playing the Field.



That's where I know him from, I should have remembered as it was one of my favourite programs. Thanks for that Bella :thumbsup:

Yes Bonnie he was from The Office but his character name has slipped my mind. He was also in that Sunday programme about the female football team - Playing the Field.

He played Finchy in The Office. Yes I noticed Charlie's swollen eye, then in the next scene it had dissapeared and I thought I had imagined it and in the next scene it had appeared again!!!

Did my eyes deceive me last nite...!
Was that really shelly downstairs and behind the bar in the rovers?
Hurrah!

Its good to see Craig Charles in this as he injects a bit of humour. Did anyone see Janice's hair last night :bag: Brave girl !!!

I wish it was Jamie's hair that had got shaved off. He looks like a girl with poncy curls!

And I wish they would give Lee-anne a gritty story-line, she is a talented actress but her character is boring! I do hope that she doesn't end up pregnant with Danny's baby - that would be boring!

And I wish they would give Lee-anne a gritty story-line, she is a talented actress but her character is boring! I do hope that she doesn't end up pregnant with Danny's baby - that would be boring!

She is a good actress, but is it just me who thinks she looks a LOT older than the character she is playing. The amount of slap she wears, and the way her hair is done (although i have heard the hair is a wig). What she wears screams BET LYNCH too. I mean, why does she look like a tart. I thought she was supposed to be just young and trendy, not hooker(ish).

Yes..I always thought she dresses in the kind of outfit a 16 year old changes into after sneaking out to meet her friends.
she actually dresses like a 'bit on the side'.
Last nites was a bit boring really...I don't want to be looking at nits when I could be looking at shelly and stuff.
sigh.....

I think Lee-Anne has always been portrayed as a bit of a slapper. She certainly acts like one - hopping into bed with boyfriend's dad (hmmmm.. now where have I seen that storyline before - lol)

Janice's hair - what is that all about? It's looked horrendous for ages now but that was a bit drastic. Why would they do a storyline like that - it's going to be difficult for the continuity people, trying to keep the "growing out" bits realistic because, (as with Charlie's black eye appearing and disappearing) we know they don't record the episodes in sequence!

Maybe it's an excuse for Janice to have a nice(r) wig?

And where is the Charlie/Shelley thing going? Are they going to get married? If it all goes wrong again (after the Peter thing) they'll definitely be taking her away in a straight jacket!

Les and Cilla - Grrrrrr! Can't bear to watch them.

Deirdre in her big specs again - lol.

Steve's permanent "angst".

Liz still doing "the tart with a heart" thing.

I think the only people in Corrie I actually enjoy watching now are Eileen and Sean (mincemeat).

Sean.....Gawd yes.The faces he pulls are hysterical.
He can do things with his teeth.....I like him.
:-)

Apparently (according to my TV Mag) she had it shaved off in real life for the storyline, which I think is really brave of her as she is not a natural beauty!

OMG - I think only the really classically beautiful can carry off the "bald" look, like Sinead O'Connor and even she looks better with hair - lol.

As you say, Janice, with a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp, needs all the help she can get - lol

I just don't see the point really. It was a drastic thing to do and I don't think there's much "mileage" in it story-wise. We shall have to wait and see how they string it out.

Is Leanne wearing a wig also? I thought that scraped back at the front long hair was very old fashioned and thought someone like Leanne would be sporting a more fashionable style. When is Candice going, she is become one of the most irritating characters ever, thick, selfish, shallow and downright unpleasant and those llama like teeth.

Is Leanne wearing a wig also?

Aparently so. She was at a 'doo' the other week, and her hair looked lovely. Very soft and fine. She mentioned then that the hair she has on the show is a wig as her natural hair got back combed / bleached within an inch of its life and started to fall out - so they got her a fake 'doo'.

I really wish janice would wear a wig..i can't be looking at her all shaven and shorn.
I though it was very rough the way she attacked a kid in the street yesterday.
like..do adults really behave like that?
Ya can't yell at kids like that, or drag at them.
( I know it's only a soap...but still...)
Ah well...........

I though it was very rough the way she attacked a kid in the street yesterday.

I thought it was a tad OTT. Janice's character seems to have changed so much. When she was living with Les she was the nice diplomatic one. Now she seems as common as my tescos underwear.

Anyone know of the outcome of the rape trial of Christoper Quentin (Brian Tilsley)?

I haven't heard anything MR but to be honest I didn't realise he had, had his trial yet.

What has 'Molly' been in before? Is it Emmerdale? It's really bugging me cos I know I've seen her.

What has 'Molly' been in before? Is it Emmerdale? It's really bugging me cos I know I've seen her.

Max, you are right it was Emmerdale - she played Ollie, Angela the policewoman's daughter and she also had a romp with Cain Dingle!

Thanks Bella. I don't watch Emmerdale - but sometimes catch the tail end of it before Corrie.

she also had a romp with Cain Dingle!


Lucky cow :blush:

oooh did'nt shelly look all lovely in her weddin' dress last night.
AND did anyone recognize the photographer from anywhere else.
He played the rapist (pearl's son) in emmerdale.
I really could have done without that silly audrey/rita photo storyline.
yawnsome!
Both charlie and shelly looked scared/bored stupid at the thoughts of marrying each other.
woooooooooo!

Corrie had me LMAO last night with wee chesney seeing sallly in the nud,
best line of the night. Les to Sally "I'll show you my loaf if you show me your baps" :laugh:
So is silly shelly going to bottle it and change her mind?
I heard charlie gets off with tracey!

Ive just read on teletext that Janice Battersby, Sunita and Jessie(?) are being axed from Corrie.

Not being killed off apparently.

And poor Vera has Emphesema in real life (a lung disease) :sad:

I wonder if Janice knew she was being axed when she agreed to have her head shaved for the storyline :ohmy:

Who's Jessie?

I read this on the BBC News Website yesterday Pan, it is very sad!

ITN Report


Corrie axe falls on Janice and Sunita
4.11PM, Tue Sep 20 2005
Coronation Street loudmouth Janice Battersby and pregnant Sunita Alahan are to leave the soap.

The characters - played by Vicky Entwistle and Shobna Gulat - will leave with factory girl Jessie, played by Nailah Cumberbatch.

The top soap's plot-line writers have yet to decide how the characters will leave the Street, but it is believed Sunita and Janice will not be killed off and the door will be left open for them to return.

Producer Tony Wood said: "Shobna and Vicky are superb actresses who have proved extremely popular during their time on the show.

"However, it is the nature of soap that characters come and go and the writing team and I felt that these characters had run their course for the time being.

"Jessie's sister Joanne will also be staying on the street so we may well see Nailah again in the future. She is a talented young actress and I wish her all the best."

All three axed stars will leave the show next year.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

As for Liz Dawn (Vera), my heart goes out to her, that is the next worse to Lung Cancer, and in many cases terminal. The outlook for her is bleak, and I will be surprised if we see her on screen again. :sad:

I wonder if Janice knew she was being axed when she agreed to have her head shaved for the storyline :ohmy:

Lol Critique - it's about time she went she add absolutely nothing to the show and her voice jsut grates on me!!

Who is Jessie though?

And what was it with the Alf/Rita/Audrey thing, I mean what was the point of that? Is there going to be more to this or was that it, a double exposure photograph??!!

Bout time loudmouth and aggresive Janice was written out, the character has lost its way since she and Les split up.

I was informed months ago that Janice had a shaved head back then, she has been in a wig for ages now, and from what I heard was finding it a pain and uncomfortable, so Corrie gave her this storyline so she could go natural. I don't think they were too happy about it all though, and could be one of the reasons she is out soon!

I have a question: How come every time someone in corrie street has a wedding they ALWAYS invite people from the pub.
dont' get me wrong..i go to pubs...i am VERY fond of my bar man...but when he gets married i will not expected to be invited to the wedding.
Like..WHY would you invite candice et al to the wedding?
And rita and audrey and norris and co?
and emily?
WHY?

I have a question: How come every time someone in corrie street has a wedding they ALWAYS invite people from the pub.


I would :thumbsup: All of my mates around here are people i meet in the pub whenever i go. So if anyone there had a shindig - we are always invited.

But that's what I mean.IF you meet and make friends in the pub, that's one thing, and mad Australians and things.....no problem there.
But inviting punters from the pub...I don't get that.
like...shelly and norris and emily and rita being mates.

It's called being a part of a community, something that is sadly dying in this country. I am going to a wedding next month - don't know them, they live a few doors away, and I don't even know what they look like, but I am going all the same, the whole road is, and I hope it's the best fun!

Ive just read on teletext that Janice Battersby, Sunita and Jessie(?) are being axed from Corrie.

And poor Vera has Emphesema in real life (a lung disease) :sad:

Well, surely they're going to axe Dev too?! Please.

oooh did you see Dev at the wedding on monday night.
Like..him and charlie are not friends....
I was VERY surprised to see him there.
It was just a glimpse of him...don't like him,his charachter is so sleazy.

It's called being a part of a community, something that is sadly dying in this country.
It sure is. I often said to Mr.B that i would love to have a 'local' where you could go down there and have a drink and know everyone - like they do in Emmerdale / Corrie and Eastenders. And thats what i have now. Its brilliant. Community spirit is a wonderful thing.

Well, surely they're going to axe Dev too?! Please.

I cant believe the ghastly Dev and his crap acting isnt going !

Also - why isnt Les being given the boot? The man who figures that if all else fails - just shout your lines....? :glare:

And what about Emily Bishop and Rita while we're at it. They add nothing whatsoever to the programme.

And what about Emily Bishop and Rita while we're at it. They add nothing whatsoever to the programme.

I suppose they have been in Corrie from (more or less) the start, and to get rid of them would cause an outcry amongst some.

I do think they need to keep a cross section of ages in the soap to keep people of all ages watching .... but the older members need to be given better storylines.

I couldnt agree more about Dev !!!

I wonder who will come and in and run the corner shop ?

I think Sarah Louise should go too. She is Boring with a capital B now the Todd storyline has finished - and why oh why get her to date someone with the personality of a plant ... namely Scooter :ninja:

Classic episode on Friday with Status Quo. :laugh:

I really do have to laugh at you lot!! Where the heck in life is everyone having an exciting time ALL the time?? It doesn't happen, it would be so far off real as to be stupid, and Corrie writers know this. They are there for the hotter storylines when needed, and that is why Corrie has been going nearly 50 years now - they know the right format, and we have no right to say that's wrong!

and we have no right to say that's wrong!

Yes we do. We are the viewers. Without us, there is no show.

OK, you tell them that the format they have been using all these years is wrong then, because it has barely changed at all from when I sat as a kid and watched the very first one.

I cant be a@sed really as i barely watch the show - but i think if people arent happy, why the hell shouldnt they show their displeasure using the on / off button ? Thats what people have been doing with Eastenders, and its given them a well earning kick up the backside.

Its Emmerdale all the way for me, i love that soap.

Who is the girl who is playing Martin love's interest - what has she been in before? I know her face but I just can't place her.

Sorry..ain't never seen her before.
But hey..why is jason so sulky and why does he mope around the bar where his ex works...
why is she so cut up about him..she is gorgeous.
He has NEVER been faithful to any of the girls he has dated..he has made a joke about being unfaithful to all his mates etc...
so he is a hypocrite!
Boo....
(I am 'blessed' with a very long soap memory) :bag:

She's better off without him, I mean it was just a kiss for God's sake, not a full-on romp on the Rover's Bar!

(I am 'blessed' with a very long soap memory) :bag:

Also - didnt he have a fling with a woman when doing a job with Charlie ? She seduced him and he didnt say no ... something to do with fixing a radiator ? Im sure he was with Violet then :huh:

ooh that's right...
AND their was the dressing gown incident with Gail..
and every time charlie got up to no good with some other laydee you did'nt see jason moaning and whining at him.
Silly sulky boy!
Violet seemed like an intelligent sort of girl...she should tell him to cop himself on and not be acting all guilty and humble behind the bar.
And like..how can he still afford to spend night after night drinking when he's lost his job!
I ask ye.....!

I have just read that the writers wanted to get Jason on the move with his real life love Sarah Platt. She however, has begged them not to do that as it proved the kiss of death when they did the same with her ex - Bruno Langley.

Jason and sarah loo are together in real life!!!!
:-O
nobody tells me nuthin!
ooh wonder how she felt about 'jason' kissing the Violet actress.
Violet is really pretty.

Who is the girl who is playing Martin love's interest - what has she been in before? I know her face but I just can't place her.

Where the heart is? or some other northern nurse

Heartbeat! I found her IDMB! I am surprised Mr B didn't recognise her as he loves that programme!

BUM...I missed corrie last nite.
Bet it was good...i'll watch the omnibus at the weekend if i can.
OOOH hope danny got his come-uppance!
And..on monday nite..was that a picture of Danny's bare chest that Leanne had as wallpaper on her phone?
:-O
Jamie could have seen it...........

And..on monday nite..was that a picture of Danny's bare chest that Leanne had as wallpaper on her phone?..

Yes it was - and i cant believe Leanne would do something that stupid and risky .... on second thoughts :unsure:

:ohmy: Yes it was - and i cant believe Leanne would do something that stupid and risky .... on second thoughts :unsure:

I thought this too! I mean come on, if you're going to risk having your lovers phone number in your phone, put it under a different name and certainly don't attach a picture. If it had come up as a nickname without photo I doubt Frankie would have answered it.
So is this the end of Frankie then?
I know she hasn't been a hit (not the actress' fault- rubbish character) but what furure is there in the street for her?
LMAO at Cila getting Shellys wedding dress, probably have so fun getting into it :laugh: Wonder if she'll get her wings

:ohmy:

I know she hasn't been a hit (not the actress' fault- rubbish character) but what furure is there in the street for her?


Who says she hasnt been a hit?. I think Franke is quite a good character and think her friendship with "our vee" is very sweet.

She is really good looking.
Why would anyone go for a 'wan' like Leanne when they can have Frankie.
MEN!!!! Sigh...
mind you..danny ain't no prize...he's funny...but what kind of a father would do that to their son.
yukky.

Who says she hasnt been a hit?. I think Franke is quite a good character and think her friendship with "our vee" is very sweet.

the papers. It was in a few weeks ago that she is being axed along with quite a few other characters that aren't working.
Don't know if this is true, but I heard that whatshisname (steve's partner at the cabs) is it Lloyd? Is being sacked becasue he keeps turning up late for work and can't remember his lines, like i say don't know if true but I think his character is ok

I like Frankie ... I think she is really good in the part.


I thought her and the actress who plays Leanne were excellent tonight.


is that Craig Charles who turns up late etc? Looks like he's not making the best of his second chance after the games doesn't it.

I really like Frankie, the actress is brilliant, and the character just spot on! I don't rate her hubby and reckon he's a lousy actor, but her? No way should she go, she's one of the best newbies they have had for a long time!

I agree, Eternity. She's put her heart and soul into the last couple of episodes. I wouldn't want to see her leave. No doubt they'll keep this story line running for a few more months anyway.

Btw, anyone, if you were in Frankie's shoes, would you tell Jamie? I think the ultimatum was the right thing to do but then that woud break Jamie's heart too. Though I supose he'd get over that, whereas a rift with his dad might never heal.

I actually WOULD tell jamie...sounds harsh I know, but otherwise the relationship will be a sham.He will continue to love his father, but only because he does not know all the facts.At least if he knows all the facts and finds out what his father is really like, then maybe at some stage they can heal the rift.At least then the relationship will be based on honesty.
Quite frankly, if I was in that situation I would prefer to know.Knowing all the facts would affect my decision.I'd rather know that continue to blindly love someone.
I thought the ultimatum that Frankie gave Leanne was just genius and I can't wait to see how this story unfolds.

No I wouldnt. Although i might feel bitter and hurt, i wouldnt want to cause a massive rift between father and son. I would try and deal with it the way Frankie has - by getting Leane to dump Jamie. It would be hard on Jamie, and he would be devastated, but he would over time get over it - and he would have both his mum (s) and dad to chat with.

Does anyone think that Frankie & Jamie may just get it together? There is a huge opening for this to happen! :shocking:

I think Jamie should be told, yes he will be devastated but it best to know what kind of a man his father really is. As Frankie says, his sons girlfriend? Tacky in the extreme. I think Jamie gets to find out this week as his dipso mother lets it out apparently.

I totally agree that Jamie should know all the facts. What respect did his father show him? Exactly!

Anyone see Corrie last nite?
Wasn't it awful to watch Danny trying to sleaze his way out of it with his 'charm' and his 'witty banter'.
I'd a shoved him under a bus.
I don't like to watch Martin flirting tho'...eek.
Make it stop.
And HEY...did you hear the ringtone that your wan in the bakery had on her phone.The girl in the yellow beret....with the amazing bright blue eyes.
Her phone played 'Molly Malone'....
cool!

I saw it Aondeag and I agree with everything you said and I thought Molly's ringtone was very apt :laugh:

Wait til Gail gets it on with Phil :sick:

Phil seems to have got very skruffy since he first joined the cast.
I guess they are going for the 'rugged' look.
:-/

He has, but somehow the 'rugged look' it is not working! :ohmy:

Gail's simpering is getting right on my wick. I honestly cant think why she and Eileen are at loggerheads over his man, I dont find him attractive one jot! I did think it was funny when Eileen poured the cement in the foot spa though. I hope Martian is to be written out soon, I think the story is that he goes off with his foxy lady. I hate the way he always lets down his son as soon as he gets the sniff of a new woman.

He has, but somehow the 'rugged look' it is not working! :ohmy:

I think he's totally repulsive and I fail to see why anyone would be fighting over him :sick: I know looks aren't everything but he could do with a personality transplant too.

Lol Crit :laugh:

Roftl.
It's about the only time a scottish accent does'nt do it for me.
Brace yerselves..spect there will be lots of kissing of gail and stuff liek that to look forward to. :ohmy:

Well I am glad someone is going to tell Jamie about Leanne and his Dad, and I am glad it is his dipso mother - another reason to dislike her!

Talking of street secrets is Mike ever going to tell Danny that Danny is his son?

And both Leanne and Frankie have played this storyline superbly, their acting has had me on the edge of my seat.

Who thinks the storyline with Steve and Ronnie looks to be a good one? I do, I just think Steve McDonal plays a blinder of a part, and last night with Claire's input that whole taxi office scene was riddled with humour.

I actually think Claire [the actress and not the character] has superb comic timing and a face made for comedy.

I agree about Claire.
that time of the whole 'boxing' story line I thought she was great.
I think she works well with Ashley and Fred too...
( I LOVE Fred..I say I LOVE Fred)
:-)

Most of the time Corrie does pull in brilliant actors, and seems to match them to the right character to play too, it's why it has been the best and longest soap ever. The ones who fail to make the grade, or don't 'fit' are soon booted, the programme is bigger than any one person.


I have always adored Steve, he is an actor that can just use his face to say something, doesn't need to talk. Magic! :wub:

He's kind of cute too...does'nt seem to have aged in all the years i have been watching.

I really dislike the Character of Claire - but im obviously alone.

When she was the nanny i wasnt keen, but she was OK. But now she has become middle aged almost overnight. Im glad they put her in some semi decent glasses, but why does she act like my mother ?

I like Ashley, and i think they should of brought in someone with a bit of life in her so his part in Corrie could grow too. As it is, you only seem to see Ashley in the butchers shop these days.

Steve McD is kidnapped by Ronnie's gangsta husband after a confrontation in the OK Corral otherwise known as The Rovers.

OMG mariarob - :shocking:

But that lovable scamp will come out of it alright :p - as he always does - just think about it he coped with Tracey Barlow, and I think I would rather cope with Ronnie Calyton's man than Tracey Barlow anyday!!!:shock:

Very soon Mike isn't going to remember very much as he gets struck down with Alzheimer's. I am sure the Street will excel themselves with this storyline and bring it into focus.

Frankie is just brilliant and I am glad that they have givee Lee-ann a good story-line as she is fab wee actress.

Mmmm, not too sure about Steve getting kidnapped, hasn't he been turned over by gangsters before?

Can't wait to see Tracy & Charlie get it together though, sparks are really gonna fly! :w00t:

I have to say im enjoying Corrie again now .... its better than Eastenders. These two soaps are always up and down in my estimations, but right now Eastenders is doing my nut in, what with Peggy taking over the place again. Corrie is much better right now.

MY GOD!!! How do ye find out what's going to happen?
Steve getting kidnapped...
charlie and tracy...hee..can't WAIT for that one.
Roll on tonight...should be fab.

I love Corrie because it has so many laughs in it. The characters are the best, and it's one you can sit and watch with your Gran in tow - no blushing moments to make you wriggle on your seat! :shocking: It's easy to find out what's gonna haappen next, if you know where to look! :bag:

Just a quick question - whats happened to Scooter, Sarahs boyfriend. He was living at her house wasnt he, and they were together permanently. Now she doesnt even mention the guy :huh:

Dont get me wrong, he was a rubbish character and im glad to see the back of him, but i hate inconsistency.

Unless she split up with him, and i missed the episode :glare:

I think scooter is still there.
Gail mentioned him the other night..she was telling a tale of a typical night chez gail or something like that and she said..'blah blah...'and scotter was over there on the sofa..cutting his toenails'.
That's all I remember.Because...GROSS...what kind of person cuts their toenails in the sitting room.
Gross..what kind of person ALLOWS a person to cut their toenails in the sitting room.
aaaargh!

That's all I remember.Because...GROSS...what kind of person cuts their toenails in the sitting room.

Hmmmm, me :blush:

Gross..what kind of person ALLOWS a person to cut their toenails in the sitting room.
aaaargh!

Oh that is gross! I prefer to just pick mine in the living room.

I dunno...I think Frankie is still being a bit too soft on Danny.
Ironing his clothes.....before she packs them for throwing him out.
I'd have horsewhipped him and burnt all his clothes or something....
Wonder has Jamie gone for good....

Corrie was brilliant last night. Leanne will get tonnes of wrinkles on her forehead though. When she crinkles it up she looks like a cartoon character, but i cant remember which one. She is an odd looking woman :unsure:

Frankie was brilliant. I love her character so i hope she sticks around, although the rumour is that she is leaving the street. I hope it doesnt happen.

She is an odd looking woman


Yes she has one eye that looks one way and one that looks the other, she has a strange forehead as well which doesnt suit the scraped back look. I thought it was brilliant last night - the look on Danny's face!!! Marvellous!

Am i alone in fancying Danny though :unsure: I like him.

I used to think he was a right plonker, but now he makes me laugh - and laughter is a brilliant aphrodisiac.

I'd give him one, Bons.

Am i alone in fancying Danny though :unsure: I like him.



No Bonnie, I fancy him too! :devil:

Yeah, last night was a great episode. Although I thought they should've kept the scene in the factory going before cutting away to something else.

Bradley played a blinder but his ex wife just got on my wick with her screeching.

And yes, Bonnie, he has got a certain charm.

I am soooooooooooooo over martin and his love live...
please...give it a rest!
Also..I bet it was no coincidence that Les is going to usurp his way into that nice looking church in Chester...'St Judes'...
patron saint of lost causes and all that....
heeheehee....

I am soooooooooooooo over martin and his love live...
please...give it a rest!....

I am fed up with this to-ing and fro-ing for pete's sake! He meets this woman, and then she finishes it and goes off in a huff, he goes after her/she comes back to him and then she is off in a huff again!!! And he has only known her three weeks, then he proposes to her - very very bizarre behaviour and although I think the character of Martin has come to the end of the road they could have written him out in a much better way that this totally daft chicken and fox story!

I keep meaning to mention Liz's young buck. He looks about 12. Thank goodness its over - it fair turned my stomach - not because he's young - because he's minging!!

It was his underpants...coupled with his horrid toothy grimace that finished me off. :sick:
I think he was meant to be some kind of stud...but really....
he just looked simple....

I missed the 2nd episode on Monday.....can someone tell me:

Why Robyn dumped Martin? Last I saw he'd written 'marry me' on a blackboard and she seemed furious with him....but I couldn't work out why.

Why Liz and her toy boy have finished?

Robyn found out that Martin had been arrested for murder (Katy's Dad) and was suspicious of what type he was. He got her round his house and explained it all but then she said she was more worried about his interest in teenage girls and went off in a bit of a huff.

Liz's toy boy brought his mum to meet her (at a pub with Bev and Deirdre). She was just like Liz, slapper type, and was all over Liz and also asking about Liz's son, Steve, so warning bells went off in Liz's head that she was angling for an introduction to Steve I think. Liz decided that enough was enough so she, aided by Bev and Deirdre, told the toy boy that she was married and it would be best if they ended it. He was upset but his mother just dragged him out of the pub.

What was the point of this story-line? Is he going to stalk Liz? And I have to agree he was a bit strange-looking! :ninja:

Her brother was a policeman and did a check on Martin as she had previously been in a violent relationship.

It showed that he had been done for GBH etc .... so she didnt want anything to do with him.


In the papers today it says that Shelley is leaving the Street soon.

News Flash - Shelly is leaving in 6 months at end of contract for pastures new! :sad:

News Flash - Shelly is leaving in 6 months at end of contract for pastures new! :sad:

Lol - beat you to it, see my post above :bag:

Aww, sorry Bons, (I know for sure now I need new specs! :closedeye ) :)

I think Sally Lindsay said she has had enough of the character that what Shelly has been through she would take a long time to get over it. I wish her well, I think Corrie was one of her first acting jobs. I hope Shelly takes her dreadful mother Bev with her when she goes, what is the point of that woman? Interesting to see how the actor who plays Martian Platt fares without Corrie, he was always so arrogant and considered himself a "big star". Hmmm.

Hee..martin was always a bit pervy too..(the actor)
in one of those corrie specials he was being interviewed about the katie-martin love story..and he said something like he'd love to be asked to play a threesome with the actress who plays marie and candice etc.
they were all really young at the time...
like..euuurgh!
good riddence...
and just HOW silly did he look scribbling 'marry me' in a big rosemantic gesture on the score board.
I'd have killed him!!!!!!!

Thanks Crit :)

Great news that Shelley is for the high road....I think she's an awful character!

Ooh yes I remember that. It didnt come over as funny at all did it? Just him being a perve monster.

Looks like its the last we ever see of Martin Platt then; he must be one of the most forgettable characters on the soap and is no great shakes acting wise !

Wonder if he would take Cilla with him, I cant bear her. :glare:

Wonder if he would take Cilla with him, I cant bear her. :glare:

Me neither - but i think we are in the minority. I really detest her character, and he constant gurning.

Also - i cant remember his name, but i cant stand the character of Audreys 'boyfriend'. Katies grandad. Why oh why he is still there is anyones guess. Im sure when he was first brought into the show he was normal :mellow:

OH he's awful..that wooly headed fella, and his pigs.
a tiny garden is NO place for pigs....they are cramped in that awful box with gail and rosie et all peering in at them.
I don't like his character at all....I just roll my eyes to heaven each time he's on.
:-(

Oh..also.I just have to say that I detest janice battersby.It was probably illegal to sack her like that but I was thrilled.
She's just gammy!
I also thought it was very funny when yer man turned off the radio and Sean said..'oh dear..the day the music died'.
:-))))

I wonder!!??



Who in this soap does anyone really like, as a character I mean, not the actor/actress. Maybe a poll should be put up to see who is the one we like the best, but it would have to be best male and best female (2 polls).

Could do the same on all the soaps, might prove interesting! :wink2:

Oh, and I 'aint doing it 'cos I haven't yet mastered much else than posting in here, and would only screw it up anyways! :ninja:

I like:

Rita
Norris
Vera and Jack
Fred
Danny (although he is a git)
Frankie
Liz (used to hate her but like her now as they have softened her)
Sean
Haley and Roy
Deirdre
Blanche - she has some of the funniest lines
Kirky
Eileen
Sally cos she is such a cow you have to laugh at her

Cant stand

Janis - has a face to sour milk and is just a horrible woman
Shelly - drip
Bev - not a pleasant woman, cant see the point of the character
Keith - revolting toothless old tramp - again cant see the point of the character
Mike Baldwin - wooden actor

Martian Platt - thank gawd he is going

I forgot to add that I hate Sarah Platt as well, she may be a pretty girl but she is SO dumb and that whining nasal twang really grates>

I totally agree about sarah loo.
I HATE the way they call her 'sarah lou'...I know it's short for louise but I just think..'toilet'.
She just looks/acts/sounds/ IS..so dumb.
she's a babe but with no personality. Grrrrrrrr
I like Fred... I think he is a great charachter...and also, i like the way that when he is acting with 'joshua' he genuinly interacts with the kid.Making faces and stuff.I think that's nice.
I like fizz...I like hayley...wish she would get a makeover tho'.
I HATE penny...mike....dreary....ken......blanche.(she says funny stuff but there is NO way ya would take those insults from her.)
I like eileen...lloyd....steve....
I like the actrress that plays tracy..but also there is NO WAY I would tolerate her nastiness.
Hee...this is fun.
Who else.?

I like Sean and Eileen best. Sean makes me laugh and Eileen is so laid back and 'normal' and has some really good lines.

As for the rest, well .....

Can't stand Cilla or Les (they've just become caricatures and their storylines are just more and more ridiculous)
I could cheerfully throttle Blanche and Norris - they irritate the hell out of me.
I've alternately liked and not liked Steve. Feel quite indifferent to him at the moment.
Hayley's OK, Roy's a drip, Fred is so ugly, hate Danny, Frankie's OK, Mike and his grandson wouldn't be missed by me.
Ken and Dierdre bearable (just)
I think the youngest Webster girl is a good little actress.
Dev and Sunita, boring now.
Janice looks so ugly.
Fizz and Kirky tolerable (just)
Ashley and Clerrrrrr, boring
Gail is embarrassing
Sally too smug
The black "twins" - waste of space
Rita and Emily just part of the furniture
Martin's character has just gone down the pan
Oh but I quite like Audrey
Sarah-loooo and Scooter, boring
Shelly and Charlie (done to death)
Bev (well I remember her from a very old black and white film with David Essex where he runs off and joins a funfair and leaves her at home, pregnant, but I can't think of the name of it - might have been That'll be the Day)

I think I'll stop there cos I'm wondering why I bother to watch now :laugh:

Hurrahy..found it!
Can't remember what I want to talk about now tho', so much has happened.
Fair play....the Quo...for entertaining us at cilla n' les' wedding.
Laugh.
But thank goodness candice has gone.
good riddence!

Hey..according to my paper (tv listings) there are THREE corrie streets tonite.
oooh wonder what is going to happen.
Nothing exciting has been happening of late, perhaps things are hotting up at last.
yay.

Oh god, is there really :sad: Talk about overkill.

I used to love Corrie, but absolutely nothing is going on to warrent 3 episodes. And will someone please get rid of pathetic Diggory and his weird eyed grand daughter.

Her eyes are like a doll's eyes..aren't they?
I bet when she lies down they close..and when she stands up they pop open automatically...like a doll.
OH dear..I think Phil is in the bad books last night.Gail did not look impressed.
She is a right wan for banging on doors and shouting the odds and causing ructions.
I must say I did enjoy last nights episodes...
tho' sarah loo is a right pain!

Im just sooooooooooooo not enjoying it, and why oh why did they feel the need to screen 3 ...... yes i said 3 episodes last night, when quite frankly, nothing happened :wink2:

I could understand it if there was a murder, a wedding, Schmicheal went missing again - but no ... NOTHING HAPPENED.

I didnt watch the 3rd episode - i decided watching paint dry was more exciting.

But the third one was the best...
Phils hair..and his 'rugged look'...
and fizz and kirk broke up...
it was just what I needed after a hectic freezing cold monday.
Could have done without the roy's rolls and stuff tho'.

Wow :mellow: Im so disappointed i missed it now :wink2:

Corrie is boring at the moment with this ridiculous story of Molly/Kirk and Fizz, the frightful dipso Carol - who cares what happens to this wretch - and the ridiculous story of Dev having suddenly acquired four love children and no one talked about it for 20 years - yeah right YAWN!

urgh..apart from anything..in corrie last nite it was qutie sickening the way dev and dreary were all 'touchy feely' with each other.
vom!
I DOOO hope they are not going to bombard us with scenes of the two of those getting up to stuff all over Christmas.
Ickky...
:-/

I hadnt tuned in to Corrie for ages, but switched over the telly to see Dev and Sunita's brother having an exchange of views on the cobbles. Id forgotten how appalling Dev's acting is !!!

He still emphasises all his words in the wrong place too :ninja: ie. "SuniTAAAAAHHHH will BEEEEE suffocated by you.... SHE will HAVE all her personality knocked out of HERrrrrrrr...

As for the Battersby household - it was like watching a bad pantomime!
