Couldn't find the other thread, so started a new one.

Who else is annoyed with Audrey - who the heck does she think she is poking her nose about Rosie & Craig's relationship? What business is it of hers? I mean, her granddaughter was having it off when she was 13 and now she is shagging anything that moves and she preaches to Rosie who has known Craig for ages and isn't sleeping around!

I wanted to smack her smug pig-headed face as she was well out of order threatening to tell Kevin.

Although can you imagine Sally's face when she finds out?! :shocking:

Oooohh i feel exactly the same as you Bella. I know they are under age, but they are using precautions and being sensible. Kids are more sexually active at an earlier age these days - and as you say, they have been dating for 18 months before anything happened. Also - neither of them look 15 do they !!!

I didnt like the fact that Audrey - Sarah's Grandma was so hypocritical. I mean, she must have had Gail young, and then Sarah has followed the tradition. Maybe she should pay more attention to her own family seeing as David is currently causing mayhem.

Maybe she should pay more attention to her own family seeing as David is currently causing mayhem.

Totally agree. Horse-face Audreh should keep her beak out. She must have one of the most dysfunctional familes on the street. Her grand-daughter was shagging the brother of the father of her second illegitmate child (sadly now deceased) only hours after finishing with Scooter. David is totally off the rails, getting drunk, playing truant and now breaking into his mother's lover's flat. Nick the elder son is never mentioned, what happened to him by the way? And she herself after having not one but two illegitimate kids before she was 20, is now shagging some dirty unkempt old git who looks like he could do with a good bath.

I think Rosie is extremely pretty without her Goth slap on and her relationship with Craig is very sweet.

I know it's only TV but what are everyone's thoughts on the Rosie/Craig storyline?

I know they're only 15 but they love each other. Still, if it was my daughter I'm sure I'd be angry but not particularly with Craig. After all he's been through. Kevin was totally over the top. I was just dying for Rosie to tell Kevin about Sally's latest affair.

I don't think I would be angry - I know they are 15 but they have been seeing each other quite a while and it was only a matter of time. I would feel more annoyed if it wasn't a long term relationship and my daughter was sleeping around with more than one boy. Kevin & Sally are crap parents, both have the morals of alley cats and are thick as mince. As you say Max, I hope Rosie does tell Kevin about Sally's affair with her boss.

Teenagers are more sexually aware and Craig & Rosie were taking precautions, I think in that sense I would feel quite happy about that, although I do think at 15 some kids are just not emotionally ready for a sexual relationship.

Oooh, it's a difficult one!

I think the way that Craig has been treated is particularly harsh. This young boy at a very awkward age has seen his father murdered by his sister who later committed suicide and had his mum chucked into prison. I'm appalled at the lack of kindness shown towards Craig by the women in the street. As a viewer I just want to mother him and tell him he's doing great!

btw - I do know it's only a soap!

I think Sally needs to take a good long hard look at herself before launching herself at Craig! To be quite honest I'm surprised that they are all so outraged ... what on earth did they expect. Surely parents dont' really react like this? I'm not saying ignore it, but I'm saying get it into proportion a bit! Hope I'm not that nutty when my son starts doing "it"!!!

Sally is doing herself no favours is she, having a go at poor Hayley? And who does Gail Platt think she is, her daughter got pregnant at 13 and is now sleeping with any Tom, Dick or Harry who will have her? And she dishes it out but can't take it when anyone passes judgement on her precious children.......but yes it is only a soap........:bag:

I just wonder where they are going to go with the Mike storyline, it was mentioned that he was going to have Alzheimers but to date there is no cure, so is this the end for Mike?

I think Jonny Briggs is leaving and this is the way they are writing Mike out. I think its a shame that the character has to end up like this, he should have just jetted off to live in the Costa Del Cockney and made the odd cameo return appearance.

Considering how long Alzheimer's can take to develop, he could be around for years to come yet! I think Corry are very brave tackling such a sensitive issue and look forward to seeing how they handle it.

And as for Rosie and Craig, in this day and age, isn't it more surprising that they waited as long as they did? And that they are at least taking precautions? I'm not condoning it and don't know how I would react, especially if it were my daughter, but I do think they seem to have acted quite sensibly. Kevin's reaction is quite typical of his reactions to every trauma he's had over his Corry years, so no surprise there. And Lady Sally has somehow developed into this holier-than-thou, sh!t-don't-smell snooty cow when she has proven time and time again that she has the self-restraint of a randy dog in a kennel full of bitches on heat.

It's certainly more real and believable than the dross that's going on on the "other side".

I meant to say in my post post that isnt Rosie 16 already? I seem to recall she was born in a taxi on Christmas Eve 1989 along with David Platt. I have to say I find Kevin and Sally's reaction incredible, you would think she was 12 they way they are carrying on. Oh and did anyone notice that Rosie told her sister to "go jump in front of a lorry" - not a very sensible thing to say being that Allison Kevin's former wife did exactly that!!!

there you go, Pats ... summing up Sally perfectly! I shall be quoting you on this!!

I'm sure she's a very nice person in RL though. :unsure:

IMO, Sally & Kevin are an example of how parents shouldn't behave! Craig and Rosie are only doing what comes naturally and at least they care about each other, ok it is not ideal, but they are both 15 and are being sensible. I think in this day and age to expect a young couple of their age, who have been seeing each other for a while, not to engage in some form of sexual activity is not being realistic.

I agree ils. We would all like to think that our son/daughter would wait until they are 16 or preferably older, but we also have to be realistic. It depends on the situation, too. They are in a loving relationship and, on the face of it, seem mature. Instead of grounding her and thumping him, they should be marching her off to the family planning clinic.

I'm sure she's a very nice person in RL though. :unsure:

The lass who plays Sally stays not far from my cousin in a wee village where my cousin's friend lives and she says that she is lovely and not at all like Sally - thank goodness!

And I agree with the other comments, I think Sally & Kevin should be proud of Rosie & Craig that they are being mature about their relationship. I mean she is going to be 16 soon, so really what is the difference.

I think all the parents in Corrie are really bad and none that you could set an example from but Sally & Kevin really do take the biscuit!

I'm surprised that so many of you think it's ok for children to have sexual relations. I didn't know that attitudes had become so relaxed. But of course totally agree that Kev and Sally went about it all the wrong way.

I think it's really sad about Mike. This stroy has been building up fopr while now and I really hope that awful Danny and spiteful Leanne don't get their hands on his cash.
Poor Penny too, it must be hell for her.
Now what about Carole and her drinking.
I think its a good story line to have a woman alcholic but i would have preferred carole to be a likeable character, but she is nasty with and without the drink. I would have prefered them to tackle the issue of alcholism.
Not all alcholics are horrible people but the drink can make them appear that way.
Should Jamie stand by his mum no matter what given that it is an illness? But the fact that she is such a ****ty bitch makes it an easy answer.

I'm surprised that so many of you think it's ok for children to have sexual relations. I didn't know that attitudes had become so relaxed.

What I find hard to reconcile is that I left school at age 15 (because in those days you could and my father made sure I was out earning money) and I know that I felt like an adult because I was earning a living. I had a sexual relationship at that age. Now, because children stay on at school longer they are expected to act like children longer - when their biological clock is telling them otherwise.

I think that ensuring they take precautions and don't find themselves unwitting parents at that age is more sensible than trying to stop them because they will still go and do it anyway.

I never had a daughter so I didn't have that worry and both my boys seemed more interested in cars and motorbikes than girls (the youngest of which has more than made up for lost time of course) but I do remember counselling them about sexual relationships and their responsibilities. Fortunately I didn't have any fathers on the doorstep with shotguns :)

You're right Critique, sex is going to take place regardless and I think we have to change our approach to it as our teenage pregnancies are a scandal. In the Netherlands they have a much more laid back approach to sex (you only have to go to Amsterdam to see this!) and their teenage pregnancy rate is very low. Instead of raging around like the Sally's & Kevin's we should accept that children of 15 will have sex, as you say Crit it happened years ago so why is it going to change now and that they should be taught more about preventing pregnancy and more so not catching anything nasty!:shocking:

I don't necessarily think it's ok, but it's a fact of life that most kids of that age are "doing it" nowadays. I actually think that showing it on a soap is bringing to the kids' attention and condoning it. Conversely, you could say that it is teaching kids what sort of relationship you should be in before you have sex. We have to be realistic. We can't pretend to our kids that it's not going on, when they're already talking about sex at primary school. :shocking: I know they don't really understand what it means, but I can tell you that they understand the mechanics of it alright.

Now..I don't condone picking up brats and slamming them against the wall normally, but in david platts case I make an exception.
I was soooooooooooo glad to see him get threathned last nite.
He is a petulant whiney voiced glowering eyed monster...
Gail should not let him speak to her like that.....richard hillman or no richard hillman I bet he would act all selfish like that anyway.
I loved his 'evil face' when he was sitting on the stairs glowering at phil and gail.....
heeheehee....

Yeah, same as you Aeondeag, wouldn't normally condone it but got a great deal of satisfaction seeing David get what he deserved. Wonder what he was planning as revenge when he sat looking evil on those stairs? :shocking:

Hmm, not sure I agree with him 'getting what he deserved' - he's 15, he's a teenager, he's a had quite a rough time. Yes, he's annoying but he didn't deserve that. And for Phil to then lie to Gail - I hope he's off the scene pretty soon - he makes my skin crawl.

I don't think Phil should have hit David, but he is an evil little git (David, I mean). He maybe been through a lot but he still a selfish, arrogant little toad! Gail is just awful, she is happy to mouth off to everyone else about how their children should be brought up when she hasn't done the best job herself. She is actually quite a nasty woman and the way she speaks to Eileen just shows what kind of woman she really is, bitter and twisted!

It is a good story-line though, as this is probably quite a common thing when teenage kids have a problem with their parents dating someone else and not getting on and also from the point of view from Phil, who has no family but ends up with someone who has problem kids. I hope they don't make Phil into some kind of psycho like they did with Richard! :shocking: And what has happened to Phil's job, he seems to be at Gail's all the time rather than prodding client's feet and hammering their ankles!

Did Phil actually HIT David..i don't remember.
I just know I was happy to see him get his commuppance-ish.
Phil should have held david out while GAIL hit him...ha ha...
I would NOT be spoken to like that...'do this...do that...iron this...give me money for chips'...
honestly!
F E C K off you little runt David!
Anyway...gail lets him eat waaaaaaaaaaaay too much chips for his tea.
Yes that is right..she does tend to give Eileen a hard time over her boys.
HEY...eileen's new bloke looks scarily like roy in roy's rolls..the hair...and weird gaze etc.
:-O
Have we ever seen the pair of them in a room together...hmmmm

Well in real life I'd be horrified but it is only TV and David is an annoying little git :) Of course, in these enlightened days he needs counselling to sort out his problems but with all the cr@p he's been handing out it was strangely satisfying to see him being taken down a peg :ninja:

If Gail gave her kids balanced meals instead of going off to the chippe all the flamin time David probably wouldnt be hyperactive and such a little sod!!!

Eileens new admirer, Emily's new religious friend Ed, is going to turn out to be the shooter of Ernest her husband in that raid in Mike Baldwin's factory 25 odd years ago.

Well, if that's the case it's ridiculous because he's not old enough, surely?

Fekking hell!
It all goes on in the baldwin factory...does'nt it?
Wasn't there a raid there a few years back involving fred elliott and mikes wife Linda...or maybe that took place in Freshco's supermarket.
For a quiet little place it sure has it's fair share of psycho's n' out of the ordinary happenings.
:-O
Anyway..they don't really DO ages in corrie street.Like..its supposed to be quite plausible that Adam and Penny could be having an affair.
I know Mike is supposed to be mixed up but he must know that Adam is still a teenager and Penny's not.

Im really disliking the whole of the Platt family right now. Maybe they should drop a bomb on the house and have done with it :pimp:

I do condone smacking for little brats .... and 15 or not, David would get a smacked bum if he spoke to me the way he speaks to his family.


I have to say im finding Corrie boring again right now. It centres on the Platts (nuke them) and Blanche and her dog .... and that kid Kareena or whatever her name is (the one who Dev helped conceive). Its a snooze fest.

Can't even remember if i bothered to watch this last nite...
I usually tune in out of habit, but it's a bit tiresome at the mo.
I am soooooooo glad Carole got turfed out.
Like..sorry for her troubles her being a raving alcoholic n' all...
but really....I don't have much sympathy for her.That aint no way to behave to your host.
I would'nt have let her darken my doorstep in the first place.
Eileen's new bloke is a bit creepy..in a 'roy's rolls' hairstyle type way.
:-O

LOL A! Mr M commented last night how they could be twins.

The Dev/Sunita storyline seems to me likes it's building up to another Tracey/Steve type thing - not very original.:sleepy:

Gawd..i'd actually forgotten about that.It's a bit yawnsome allright.
The babies are cute..that's about all thats memorable.
although the lovely Dev DID call Sunita an ungrateful cow or the like.
charming.

I find the whole Sunita business totally tedious and wish they would hurry up and write her out and I wish she would take Dev with her. Good riddance to the thoroughly unpleasant Carol, the thing is I DO think Jamie fancies Frankie.

Welcome back Aondeag by the way!!

Thanks MR...It's good to be back on SO..but not so great being back at work.
grumble.
Yeah...I thought ages ago that jamie said he was only seven when danny left carole for frankie..
then last nite he said he was ten years old.
So..are they trying to make him a bit older so the whole frankie/jamie love story won't have such an age gap.
There is nothing at all wrong with an age gap, but I must say I'd find it a bit ick tho'....if they got together.Like..she would have mothered him from the age of 7 or 10, whatever.
And now a relationship.
It does'nt have any of the romance of a 'forbidden love'...it's just wrong..in my humble o.

..........Run Rosie Run.......oh my what a scary mother Sally is, she should be locked up! And I wonder how many people Gail will tell about Sally & Rosie's visit to the doctors!.

I am surprised that Rosie has actually turned out mildy sensible and really quite decent (ok yeah, she is having sex at 15 but it is not sleeping around sex) with two very extreme nutters for parents!

And have to say Sunitta is annoying me - yes, Dev may have done the dirty with his other children but that does NOT give her the right to ban him from seeing the twins. It is wrong!

If Gail gave her kids balanced meals instead of going off to the chippe all the flamin time David probably wouldnt be hyperactive and such a little sod!!!


too right! Gail and Martin are 90% to blame for David's behaviour, he is only responsible for 10% imo ... it's the parent's fault!



Eileens new admirer, Emily's new religious friend Ed, is going to turn out to be the shooter of Ernest her husband in that raid in Mike Baldwin's factory 25 odd years ago.


He used to be a customer in a pub I worked in and a very charming chap he was too!

There is something slimy about him isn't there he gives me the collywobbles cos you know he's got some sort of weird story. They can't have a religious helpful chap in a soap who isn't an unhinged mad man ... and yet all the gays are lovable!!!

Hmmm, thought they could've made the Jack/Vera picture a lot more amusing. It was cr@p.

And have to say Sunitta is annoying me - yes, Dev may have done the dirty with his other children but that does NOT give her the right to ban him from seeing the twins. It is wrong!

I totally agree with you Bella - a father does have rights. I read one of the guys newspapers yesterday .. the Mirror i think, and it mentioned that Sunita, 2 days after giving birth was back in her 'skinny jeans' and its true :shocking:

I thought last nights show was yawnsome with most of it centering around Jack and Vera ..... who i dislike. I cant stand Leanne either, and she was on too much last night as well.

I don't mind jack n' vera...but they play them for laugh's too much and it's wearing a bit thin.
I could have done without seeing the naked jack paintings...they looked kind of ..well...fuzzy or something.
the paint colour looked a bit 'hairy'....euuugh.
I would'nt ban Dev from seeing the bambino's, but I would not let him have much say in bringing them up.He's too sexist and would dote only on the boy as his son and heir.
I also think it's a bit rich the way he suddenly decided to dote on his kids, where was he for the other kids.
They needed a father too.
Yeah..Sunita seems well able to move around and climb up stairs 'not a bother' after giving birth to TWINS!!!!!!!
Ha!

[QUOTE=Bella And I wonder how many people Gail will tell about Sally & Rosie's visit to the doctors!.[/QUOTE]

Gail should be sacked immediately if she does, as a doctor's receptionist she will have had to sign some kind of confidentialy agreement.

The way Sally dragged her daughter through the streets was shameful.

Apparently Kevin & Sally go to the police and demand that Craig is arrested for having under-age sex with their daughter. Can they get worse? I just wish that Rosie would blab about Sally's little liason with her boss.

Sally is such a pretentous mother, I bet she wouldn't have been that upset if Rosie was sh*gging the son of a millionaire!

Where have I seen "Ed" before? He looks familiar... and he is kinda creepy. He and Roy could've been separated at birth.

LB, he was in that series about the women's football team. Can't remember the name now.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH Maria Rob...looks like you were spot on about evil Ed having something to do with the death of Emily's hubby.(I don't know that story...but it's a bit cheeky him just turning up and gaining her confidence after what he did, even if it IS to make amends)
I wish him and Eileen would stop flirting...I like eileen but can't watch the flirting...cringy cringe.
and HA...won't all those old biddy's laugh the other side of their faces when they find out what mr ED really did.
Bet emily wont' be so forgiving then!
Also..how stupid is Jason's charachter.If i were an actor and they asked me to act that stupid and clueless etc...I would be too embarassed to do it.
Like...thinks a girl will accept him coz he LOVES her...but oh fancies someone else at the same time.
DUH!!!!!!!

You would have thought that either Emily and certainly Norris or Rita would have picked up on the fact that he had recently got out of prison and "went in as a young man as he was stupid". If you have been inside for that amount of time its obvious you have committed a serious crime and have not just been shoplifting! Where is Craig Charles by the way, he seems to have disappeared?

LB, he was in that series about the women's football team. Can't remember the name now.

Playing the Field, along with Finchy from The Office.

Of course it all makes sense now. I knew there was something shifty about him I just couldn`t quite work it out.

Gawd...sarah looooooooooo is a real hunter-gatherer....isn't she?
That mangy fur jacket she was wearing last nite.....WHAT was that all about.
And did sally really walk out in to the street bradishing her daughters pills around...waving them at Craig's house.
The woman is deranged.
I am sooooooooooo over that story now.
yawn..........

Kevin is just replacing Tommy as the thug in the street - he really has double standards, he goes off on one at Craig who clearly loves his daughter by using using bullying tatics. If I was Craig I would have the police round to them pronto. Kevin is a grown man for god's sake wheras Craig is only 15. I do reckon that Rosie has got to start blackmailing her mum soon.

Sarah-Lou is just awful, she off swanning around jumping on any man who has a pulse - the Street is really giving single mothers a bad name as both Tracey & Sarah-Lou don't seem to be looking after the children properly.

And when does drippy Sunita go, please let it be soon and why oh why can she just not take Dev with her!?

yes..and that goddam awful daughter of his.
why can't they just put normal kids on telly....just give them funny lines or something.
all kids in the soaps i watch are rude...stupid...and no sense of anything.No respect for anyone.I know tons of teenagers etc and they are NOT like that.
The ones in soaps are just outrageously exaggerated.They have NO hobbies or interests.And they make a song and dance if someone reads a book in a soap.MAD!
Why can't they just have normal kids..give them funny lines now and then but enough of this whingey me me ME attitude.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
( hee..I take my soaps seriously)

I was really hoping Craig was going to lamp mince-for-brains Kevin last night. Craig towers over the middle-aged sqig.

OHMIGOD...hyperventilate.Did anyone else think that Liz's hair was abominable last nite...tight tight curls...ick.
coupled with THAT outfit...what IS she like.
It's great that Bev can just down tools and swan off into the sunset without having to work her notice or let her boss know.If only we could be that rude in the real world.
And at this stage..I just wish sunita and dev would just GO!
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
corrie street is annoying me now.

:) I'm like you Aon - hate it but love it - can't stop watching it. Liz's hair always looks a mess imo. The Dev and Sunita thing has been dragged out too long, as with the Rawsie and Creg. David Platt is an evil little tike isn't he, but I would be seriously worried about him if I was Gail and not just give him money for the chippie.

The thing that makes me cringe more than Liz's hair is when Gail is getting all simpering with that ugly bloke - that's a gruesome twosome isn't it.

Urgh..yes...she's all 'blinky blinky adore adore, simper simper'........it's upsetting to watch.
Your man Phil is HUGE...he should just give evil david a belt and be done with it.
OR better still...put up cameras and record his behaviour and play it back to gail so she can see what a rude little spoilt unlovable brat he is.
WHO would take that from their kids...not me.
Did you hear him last nite when he demanded of gail..'is this all the bread in the house'.
Sheesh...go out and buy some yourself...ya big lump!

awww leave David alone. He's got a lot to contend with at the moment. His dad shacks up with a kiddle and gets her pregnant, kiddie then kills herself, then before the soil has settled on the kiddle's grave he runs off with some woman he hardly knows at the drop of a hat and gets her up the duff ... his mum invites a pyscophathic murderer into house who tries to kill almost all her family and then she shacks up with some foot fiddler who looks like he never washes and constantly sits on the settee with him ... if I was david and the first thing I saw as I came intothe sitting room was them two, I'd be a lot ruder and a lot more screwed up!

Ah now missis...he should be WELL over all that by now: :-)
Like..people recover MUCH quicker in soapsville..why should david be any different.
If you have cancer in soap land...hey presto it's miraculously cured and ya never need treatment again.
If you have a brain tumour..it's totally gone after a successful operation and a few episodes later...there you are with twins!
Sorry for his troubles with gails blokes etc...but he is just sooooooooooo horrid to her.SHE is worse for taking it...but He knows what he is doing.
And whatever happened to his rabbit....barney???
Ya never hear him mentioned much...I dread to think what david has dont to him.
eek!

MMMM...bet it went really nice with chips...'from chippie'....like what they ALWAYS have.......

Well ladies....what did y'all think of DEV in his tight top last nite?
AND it was cropped ...for extra effect.

VOM!:sick:
quese!

OH...I heard that something freaky is about to happen to someone in corrie street this week.(nothing to do with Dev)
I'll post it waaaaaaaaaay down the page in case ya don't want to know.










Here it comes:
I heard that sarah loooooooooo gets a birthday card...signed from....
'Richard Hillman'
:-O

I read about that Aon, I hope they are not going to raise Richard Hillman from the dead! I reckon it could be David behind it all.

I fell asleep last night, yes it was really that thrilling! So has Sunita left the street then?

Think so...i went off to make tea.
She packed up her troubles in her old kit bag..and hugged her brohter....
And I think that was the last we see of her.
HEY..if it turns out to be david..that is pretty nast.
(but as it's only on telly...and not real...it's funny.)
Hee.

And I think that was the last we see of her..

Lets hope that's the last we see of this boring whining woman and pleeeeeaaaasse take Dev too, what is the point of him now?

Fred also seems to have mince for brains lately even thinking of getting involved with that Orchid schemer again. Also is Bev coming back? Seemed a bit of an abrupt (and not really beliveable) exit for her.

There is a picture of Bev and Fred in this weeks TV Quick rehearsing some scene :book:

Is there kissing? I like fred...but dont' want to be lookign at that!

Is there kissing? I like fred...but dont' want to be lookign at that!
Yes, I am afraid to say there is kissing involved

URGH..any idea wot date it will be shown?
I can race off to make tea at an opportune moment. :-/

(oh grow up Aondeag!)

And whatever happened to his rabbit....barney???
Ya never hear him mentioned much...I dread to think what david has dont to him.
eek!

A colleage has reminded me that the rabbit died from natural causes and Keith had it stuffed.

OH well remembered.
There's a few more of them that I wouldn't mind seeing stuffed also.

A colleage has reminded me that the rabbit died from natural causes and Keith had it stuffed.
I dont remember that :shocking: It must of been an episode that drifted from memory.

Ill be glad to see the back of Sunitta too. She is boring with a capital B.

I wish someone would get rid of Keith too as i find his character very depressing.

Last night watching Corrie i wondered why they insist on bringing (and i apologise for this word in advance) weirdos into the street. You have Norris, the guy who runs the caff and his wife, Kurk, Tyrone and now they have brought in Caff owners school 'mate' who seems a sandwich short of a picnic. Surely this cant be normal on such a small street.

That school reunion thing was weird.The funny thing is..i don't know who freaks me out more...Roy or his scarey mate.
I'm glad roy has hayley..and stuff...but really, I would not fancy going there for my cuppa.
:-O

Wasn't Roy's scarey mate the one who was in Brush Strokes with Karl Howman years ago?

Wasn't Roy's scarey mate the one who was in Brush Strokes with Karl Howman years ago?
Yes that was him...Funny to find someone more boring than Roy wasn`t it? lol

Hee..i think roy is more boring...at least the other guy 'gets up to weird stuff' and has restraining orders against him.
That's certainly more interesting than roy...
but eeek all the same.

Im starting to like Steves girlfriend more and more. Anyone that stands up to Tracey is alright in my book :laugh:

oh I don't like her ... she's bolshy, in your face and loves herself ... Steve could do better!

I'm not gone on her either.She loves herself too much...never an attractive quality.
Hoping there will be fiery feuds between her and tracy tho'.
I think charlie has given tracey the heave-ho.
Hee..she won't like that!
or at best it is ALL on his terms!

Wasn't Roy's scarey mate the one who was in Brush Strokes with Karl Howman years ago?

THANK YOU MAX! Jeez that was driving me mad.

Im starting to like Steves girlfriend more and more. Anyone that stands up to Tracey is alright in my book :laugh:

Dont like her either, the character is arrogant and I HATE that mole by her nose - looks like a bogey. Charlie asks Tracey to move in with him but surprise surprise he doesnt want Amy.

That's no problem surely.
I'm sure tracey wont' have any qualms about leaving the baby with her gran/dreary/dog/royn'hayley/bus stop etc......
anyone except steve.
Hurrah....i like tracey type storylines.

Thank goodness that Sunita has now left the Street and the tiresome storyline with her and Dev has at long last finished. It went on for far too long and was so dreary. Its a shame Dev wasn't written out too. It looks like we now have to contend with yet another dreary storyline with Stacey and Fred. Why on earth have they brought the character back when they could have done so much more with the Thai bride story last year which started and ended too quickly. The writers often let good storylines go and they could do so much more with them. I think the programme has become very boring lately.

I heard on the Good Morning programme earlier today that the actress who plays Leanne has announced she is expecting a baby. I wonder how it will be written into the soap - Danny becoming a father again most probably.

You just would'nt tho'...would you.
Let someone who had fleeced you back into your life.
AND get one of your friends to give her bed and board for a couple of nights.
If i were Rita I'd say...sorry for her troubles Fred...but she ain't staying with me.
I'd give her a few bob...and send her on her way.
What about that guy from the golf club who started the whole scam...and his 'wife' who was her friend.Let her sod off back to them.
UH oh...danny and leanne...guess there will be endless silly stories with those two next september!!!!!

Sean Bean has revealed that he wouldn't mind starring in Coronation Street as the milkman.


Found this on Digital Spy ... and what wonders it would do having a daily pinta from Sean every morning! :wub: :naughty:


Seems like a good idea to me ... imagine Eileen and Gail wrestling in mud in their dressing gowns over Sean! :boxing: :sick: :ohmy:

I wish to CHRIST that they would put warnings up on the screen...
whenever Dreary is about to flirt/kiss/.....even just appear!
That was NOT pleasant last nite.....
:-/
wibble......

whenever Dreary is about to flirt/kiss/.....even just appear!

Is it me or did Dreary look a bit different in Monday's episodes? Her hair looked more blonde which seems to have aged her - she looks quite frumpy now. I do hope the flirting isn't moving into yet another storyline of her having yet another affair! :sleepy:

Hee..there can't be that many men left in weatherfield that she has'nt had an affair with!!!
She is running out of options....I remember when charlie started first and she was working for the council..and HE flirted with her because he needed something or other.Ick..she was all over him.
Mind you..perhaps she will 'set her cap' at young Jason or the like!!!!

Who was the blonde woman whose doggie David was feeding his chips? Usually when someone new has a speaking part it means they are a new character.

lol! i know what you mean ... dont' they have to pay them extra if the character speaks, which is why whole transactions are done in complete silence in pubs and shops with anyone who is not in the "line-up"?!! :laugh:

Yep, you're right there Dol. When I worked at the BBC in Artist Bookings (puffs up chest and feels important) the "walk-ons" got a standard fee but if they were required to speak (or if they were given a speaking part subsequently) they definitely got paid more.

Of course, that was a zillion years ago but that's how it used to be. :blush:

Hollyoaks is the worst for this. If a random is getting their change back in the pub, they actually just nod there head repeatedly and MIME "thanks very much". Every time!

Found this on Digital Spy ... and what wonders it would do having a daily pinta from Sean every morning!

How very dare you!!!:glare:

If he was delivering milk in the stret, I would be there, with a candlewick dressing gown, chiffon scarf over my head with a Players full strength hanging out the side of my hastily rouged lips, begging for a 'gold top'.

Gail? Pah
Eileen? Pah

They wouldn't have a look in!!!!:huh:

wooooooooooooooo!
Charlie last nite...back to his evil old self!
Hurrah!

How old is Tracey's child? It seems like no time at all that she was but a twinkle in her father's eye and now she is into potty-training and drawing matchstick figures!

Think she will be two in febuary...so there's a 'steve/amy/birthday storyline there somewhere'.
Did tracey look pleased or terrified at charlies outburst last nite?
I could'nt quite decide.

Just read that Mike's son, Mark will be back next month for a few episodes to "cause some trouble."

Have also heard that Frankie, Nathan, Bev and Diggory are facing the chop

Nathan and Bev I can do without, Diggory's not too bad, but surely not Frankie? I love her.

I hope they don't get rid of Frankie, she was on some chat show last week and she never mentioned she was going. I heard that Nathan, Bev and Diggory were going. Are you sure it wasn't Shelly that was going?

Husband just said he heard it all on the radio so I am not 100% sure. If Frankie was on a talk show she wouldn`t be allowed to mention it until it was released to the press via Corry staff - - however they do it.

I'm another that will be disappointed if Frankie leaves, I think she is a great character.

thanks Seabreeze! :shocking: :sick:

isn't there some law about people past thirty kissing in public? if not there should be!

haven't Coronation Street pitched the Tracey/Charlie storyline just perfectly!

we've seen enough of both of them to know they get all the deserve and then throw poor little innocent Amy into the equation and you have a great story line.

Eastenders could learn so much! I mean surely the Pat/Patrick/Yolande love triangle deserves to sink without trace!

thanks Seabreeze! :shocking: :sick:

isn't there some law about people past thirty kissing in public? if not there should be!

Humph!! I shall snog the face off every bloke I fancy right in front of ya in that case.

(I'm sure you meant to say ugly people past thirty didn't you?) :boxing:

I can only just bear it with youngsters let alone us wrinklies!

maybe i'm just a dried up old spinster with no-one to snog! :cry:

Ha Ha...nice one charlie...
dumping the sprog back on tracey and giving her the key and telling her to remove her stuff!!!!!!!
Just after she had been boasting that he was at home babysitting her kid and probably cooking her a meal.
Class!:laugh:

I may be an old softie but I thought the scenes with Emily and Ed, the husband killer, were quite moving.

I can't believe that Ed was mean enough to worm his way into her life just like that.
It was not the way to do it.
If he wanted to meet her and get her forgiveness etc....i am sure there were proper procedures to follow.I know he probably thought that if she got to know him and like him then everything would be ok.
But he should have put her feelings first.
I wonder if Emily was not involved..if it was someone else's story, would she be all for Christian forgiveness?
I bet she would.But because it's her husband and her life, that makes it tricky.

I was wondering the same thing. But when it is your own life it is very different.
Thing is he did trick her. No way should he have gone about it that way.
What he should have done is contacted his probation officer or similar and asked if it would be possible to meet or to pass on a letter.
Emily being the typ of person she is would have possibly givenit some thought.

I'm sure there are a lot of rapists out there who have repented and found God and are now decent people but you would be horrified if you got to know them saw that they were a lovely person and then had that bombshell dropped on you. :shocking:
And poor old Eileen. She deserves a real hunky of a man (Denis was lovely for her- shame he cheated) Ed is too much of a drip anyway. Eileen needs a man with muscle

with muscle...AND with lips.
poor old ed was a bit lacking in the lips department.They were ever so thin.
I did feel for her a bit when ed got into the car and raced off on her.
:-O

UH oh...danny and leanne...guess there will be endless silly stories with those two next september!!!!!

I've missed so much, what is happening with these two?

As for chopping characters. get rid of nathan- he's rubbish. He doesn't move his lips when he speaks.
And are Tyrone and Molly now an item????
What happpened to Maria?

Tyrone dumped maria...coz he felt that she does not love him and never would.
DOH!!!!!
She was all heartbroken, for about 2 minutes then went on a date with a journalist guy who came to take her photo for the 'surprise a bride' competition.
Then I think he twisted her words on the 'date' and she featured in an article in the gazette....kind of slating tyrone.I missed that episode.
Danny and Leanne have not been in it for a while.
Tyrone and Molly keep giggleing and making silly puns....but seems they are a hot couple.
Nathan always looks as tho' he is saying/thinking something sarcastic the whole time!

Jane Danson (Leanne) is pregnant, so I am wondering if they are going to write a storyline in with Leanne having Danny's baby.

OK...bad enough as Tracy is...I really blame the parents.
HOW can they go along with it.I know they have Amy's best interests at heart, but really...they are allowing her to be abandoned by her mother for a man.And not your common or garden decent man...but CHARLIE.
Why don't they take a stand.Refuse to take in Amy...Tracy would hardly abandon her!!!!
Why dont' they change the locks...and when Tracy is out with Amy in the park she wont' be able to get in to dump her for the night.Or why not say they are off to the pub and stay there till one or two in the morning.!!!
Or better still..why not drop Amy over to Steve.Tell her that Steve can file for sole custody, because Tracy is an unfit mother.
Seriously...there are ways.

I totally agree with you. I doubt many parents, if faced with their daughter dumping their grandaughter would just say 'ok then, you go, we'll look after Amy'. Its ridiculous. The only threat they made was to say that when Amy was old enough they would tell her that her mum abandoned her. Big wow. Tracey could blag her way out of that.

I personally would do the Steve option. I would walk around to him, tell him that Amy had been abandoned by Tracey. He would then have good cause for sole custody. Every court in the land would reward it to him.

It's just soooo obvious tho', isn't it, the Steve option.Ken is supposed to have brains.
Why doesn't he use them!!!!!

It's just soooo obvious tho', isn't it, the Steve option.

It is - I can't believe they haven't thought of it. Maybe there is a big story coming up, where Steve finds out that Tracy has dumped her with her parents.

Why on earth hasnt someone contacted Social Services over Amy and the way she is dumped on everyone whilst her mother enjoys herself in the pub or in bed with her latest squeeze. Dreary Dierdre really annoys me the way she just lets Tracy have her own way - they way she has spoilt and given in to her has made her the woman she is.

Isnt Amy a pretty child? Real chocolate box looks.

She really is divilishly cute...now that she has proper hair and not those silly 'stalks' on top....
And did'nt she cry on cue last nite too...while they were waiting for the return of Tracy.

I can very well see why Ken and Deirdre have accepted Amy being dumped on them. The grandchild/grandparent bond is very deep in most cases. I speak from experience here when I say that they are probably willing to accept the baby knowing that at least she will be cared for properly rather than to be with an inadequate mother who puts her own needs first.

If they did take her to Steve and he, for any reason, didn't want the full time responsibility then Ken and Deirdre may be worried that Amy will appear to be unwanted all round.

There is always a fear that rocking the boat and getting Social Services involved may result in the child being taken into care which would be abhorrent to most grandparents I feel.

I know it's only a soap but I can relate it to real life and am not surprised that K & D haven't made waves.

It's just soooo obvious tho', isn't it, the Steve option.Ken is supposed to have brains. Why doesn't he use them!!!!!

They wouldn't march round to Steve's with Amy, because they would feel that they would not be able to see her as much. At least if she's with them (until Tracy decides to take her back), they can see her when they like. They know that Tracy is taking advantage, but at the same time they are the main carers for their granddaughter. If they took her to Steve, Tracy would accuse her of abandoning Amy and would probably disown them and never let them see Amy again.

Im quite suprised by Emily at the moment. I thought she was all for forgiveness, and dont get me wrong, its a hard thing to forgive ... but she knows that Ed is a changed character. But seeing Emily out for revenge is odd to me !!!

I also dont like the thought of Rita moving in with Emily. It changes all the dynamics somehow. And why on earth would she swop her lush flat with Norris's room in Emily's. Once he is in the flat it will be blummin hard to move him.

Personally, I think move Rita in with Emily and then have some sort of gas explosion.

I always wondered if Emily's piano actually worked...or was it just for holding ornaments.
I felt sooo sorry for her last nite, when she was sitting in sorrow at the piano, and gently played 'beautiful dreamer'.
However, I was annoyed with her again by the end of the show.
I like the way they show it from Both sides.I don't know if I could forgive Ed either, but as i'm not involved, I can see that he has made great effort to change and is truely sorry.
It's not as if he came out of prison and took up where he left off..robbing and killing etc.It was a tragic once offf, and he seems to have changed for the better in prison.
But like I say...i dont' know how I would feel if I were in Emily's positon.
I would imagine as a Christian she has seen other people being 'tested' before, and I'm sure she said all the right platitudes.
I'm surprised her faith has caved so easily.

I think she's surprised that her faith has collapsed - that's why she's having all this inner turmoil. I think her and Rita's acting abilities are being shown wanting in this storyline. Wooden and unconvincing imo. They should take lessons from Amy :D

Amy's not as moaney as emily
(even before her trauma she was a bit moaney...always impatient and stuff)
And did you see Rita off to check out the SunnyDale place.
Hee..Sunnydale..isn't that where Buffy the Vampire lives...along with all the vampires!

Heard that Mike Baldwin is getting killed off? Have to say the guy who plays him Johnny Briggs hasn't been looking too well in recent times.......will that mean that Danny will get all his money then?! :shocking:

Heard that Mike Baldwin is getting killed off? :

I heard (dont know if its true) that he dies in Ken Barlow's arms. His alzeimers gets worse and worse and he is found wandering around in his pj's in the pouring rain. I think its a shame that a once great character is to go out like this. He should have just gone off to live in Spain and popped back now and again. The writers just have to over-dramatise. I am also disliking Danny who they have turned into quite a nasty piece of work, different to the chirpy lovable rogue he was when he first came into the street.

Gawd...what a way to go! Popping your clogs in the arms of ken barlow.:(
You are right...MR....
Spain would have been sooooooooooooo much better.It's a shame that an actor who has devoted so much time to this programme can't just get into a black taxi and exit peacefully....like the other old favourites.

I am also disliking Danny who they have turned into quite a nasty piece of work, different to the chirpy lovable rogue he was when he first came into the street.

This is a shame for me too. I loved Danny when he arrived with his one liners, and chirpy nature. Now he is bitter and twisted and living with some slapper !!!

Why do they feel the need to alter everyones personalities on soaps. They did the same to Alfie on Eastenders. When he joined he was permanently smiling and cracking jokes, then he became Mr. Manic Depressive.

My Sister used to say she was popping out for a burger and then not come back for hours leaving her son upstairs, many a row similar to the Barlow's took place! I remember me and my brother (when we realized she’d done a runner) used to try get out of the house ASAP as last one in was in charge!
She was very young though and thankfully the outrageous behaviour didn't last past her teenage years.
Tracie is nearly 30 isn't she?!
And apparently it gets worse. She goes on holiday with Charlie and doesn't tell anyone just leave little Amy with Ken and Deirdre

I am finding these smooching scenes with Killer Ed and Eileen quite offputting. If he was really a Christian he would move far away from Emily and stop upsetting the old dear. Eileen looks more like the she-devil every day and I find it hard to believe he would be madly in love with her after just a few weeks.

I also cant believe he is still hanging around emily's street....
he really IS hounding her.He pounces on her as soon as he sees her in the street.
It really IS all about him.
And emily and rita living togehter...that just won't work!

It has been confirmed that former pop star Kym Marsh is to join the cast of Coronation Street.

Kym will play singer Michelle who auditions for the band of Liz’s boyfriend Vernon.

Kym, who was previously in pop group Hear’Say, will appear in four episodes of the show, but could be back for more in the future.

"Michelle's a great character who's set to ruffle a few feathers when she walks on to Coronation Street, not least with band mate Vernon's girlfriend Liz McDonald,” a Coronation Street spokeswoman said.

"Liz takes an instant dislike to her and the fur is set to fly."

Kym, like us, is a huge Corrie fan and can’t wait to walk on one of the nation’s most famous Streets.

"I've said so many times what a huge fan of Coronation Street I am and how much I'd love to be in the show, so this is a dream come true for me,” she said.

"It's great to be given this opportunity and I can't wait to walk on to the cobbles."

Kym has played roles in BBC1's Holby City and Doctors and fans of ITV1’s Loose Women will remember her as one of the panellists last year.

Get those knives sharpened, Liz!

Can't say i've ever heard of her...but last nites episode was soooo dull that I am looking forward to a bit of new blood.
I am not, however looking forward to the storyline with little josh and ashley et al.
Ah well..........

Kym Marsh !!!! God i cant stand that woman.

I really wish Rita and Emily weren't living together, it just doesnt see right somehow. I do think it will cause tension though - like with Emily and Rita's makeup yesterday.

As for Ed, i can understand why he wants forgiveness. He is obviously a changed man, and from what we know he didnt realise that he would be shooting someone for real. It wasn't part of the 'plan'. He has therefore lived with the guilt for over 20 years and now wants closure. I do think its sad that Eileen is being outcast though.

I think its great that Fred, I say Fred has found love again with Bev. They do go well together - although i think the storyline has been rushed.

Although I can understand how Emily must be feeling, I think it's the fact that I can't stand her character that I feel more sorry for Ed & Eileen...god you get confused with all these E's, especially when Emily's hubby was called Ernie too!

It is 28 years and he has done his time and he fully appreciates that what he done was wrong, albeit a horrendous crime.

As for Emily & Rita...............*yawn*

I always find emily very grumpy and snooty...she has no time for Norris..not even when all he does is look out for her.
Anyhoo...that poor kid Amy.All tracey ever does for entertainment with her is take her to the park for fresh air!!!!
I'm sure that's very healthy....but as soon as she picks her up from ken n' dreary's...it's off to the park...
And i bet it's bloody freeeezing!
OH..and good riddence to Janice....vile vile woman!
ha ha ha ha!

OH..and good riddence to Janice....vile vile woman!
ha ha ha ha!

I cant believe how ugly that woman is !!!! And when she talks her mouth goes down ... which isnt natural.

Im sure she is only in her 30s, but she looks a damn site older than that.

I hope she's not going to be written out though, as I think she's a great character.

I hope she's not going to be written out though, as I think she's a great character.

Who, Janice ??? If it is Janice then no, she isnt being written out. They did tell her apparently that her character had come to an end, and they did say they were terminating her contract. But then they changed their minds ... which i believe is good news.

... which i believe is good news.

Sorry dont agree, I cannot stand Janice and cant really see the point of her I mean is there anyone that she hasnt been nasty to? She is unpleasant in character and to look at and now she is no longer part of the "Battersby clan" has come to the end of the road storyline wise in my opinion. Cannot for the life of me think why she has been reprieved. The Street needs new blood and new interesting characters not the constant rehashing of old ones.

Janice's teeth are scarey :ghost: I think the worst thing they did were split her and Les up and introduce that Cilla character (where are they lately btw? No never mind, I don't miss them at all).

Just to completely ruin the plot, i think Janice and Les sleep with one another this week *yuck, erase nasty thought from head* :shocking:

OH gross out!

I agree MR, she is a vile character - what on earth did the lovely Dennis ever see in her?

I wish Les & Janice would just hitch up and ride off to the sunset together!

Hurrah!
I nearly cheered when Sally belted janice t'other night.
She totally deserved it.
Yay!

Sally is completely losing it now, she kidnaps Rosie tonight!

I am still amazed as to how on earth they can afford private school and how are they going to afford £5000 per term for boarding school. Kevin is a back-street mechanic for God's sake and she is a machinist, so they are hardly coining it in. I just don't know how it is financially possible for them to do it!:blink:

5,000 squids a TERM!!!!
I take it that's even more expensive than the posh school she is at now.
Bloody hell!
What on earth will the live on!

Well all they eat is beans or fish fingers so I shouldnt think her weekly shopping bill is that high. Mind you Rosie looks fine on that diet, she is a very pretty girl without all the slap.

It was nice of Kev to ask Chesney along for pizza last nite, their last outing before they live on beans and fish fingers for the rest of eternity.
Poor little chesney...how cute did he look with his big floppy dog 'geansai' on him last nite.
Hope tonite's double episode is worth watching.

It was nice but it was also so sad that he just went along and never told his mum where he was going cos they wouldn't miss him anyway!

Sally needs medical help as she cannot chose who her daughter should be friends with.

I have a friend who attended private school and one her friend's parents disowned her for a while because she married a joiner! She was told that they did not spend all that money on her schooling for her to marry someone like that! They have been married 20 years, have 3 great kids but even though his business is extremely successful, the parents never got over that in their minds their daughter married "beneath her".

Suffice to say that there are a lot of Sally's around, though I suppose they are looking at it from the fact that his mother is a killer, his sister killed herself and his father was a thug.

Blimey they must be some high speed lifts in the Quays, Mike's block of flats, Leanne buzzed Audreh in last night and she appeared at the door almost immediately - perhaps she beamed herself up. I always thought Johnny Briggs played Mike B a bit woodenly of late but I have to say he has surpassed himself with this story as the confused addled person whom your heart goes out to.

Speaking of Leanne, I watched the two eps of Corrie that were on last monday and in the first ep she was walking with a limp, then in the second ep (which was still meant to be the same day) her limp had mirarculously disappeared.

I think Leanne looks preggers. (sorry dol)

I think Leanne looks preggers. (sorry dol)

I think she is Max in real life, so they will be writing it into the storyline.


You know what annoys me about soaps - the fact that people never say EXACTLY what happened.

Like yesterday with claire and ashley. claire is in the conservatory whilst josh is in the garden - and the doctor walks into the garden through the side gate accessing their private property. Cue ashley getting mad, and when he asks claire what happened she didnt say that he walked through the back gate ... or that they tried to keep her from josh by holding her away ... or that she had been scared she screamed to the neighbours. NO - she makes it sound as though she let them in through the front door - and wonders why he gets mad.

I and the doctor walks into the garden through the side gate accessing their private property. .

Why did they leave the side gate unlocked when they knew the doctor is prowling around, you shouldnt leave a side gate unlocked anyway whilst a child is playing in the back. Why on earth dont they just ring the police, Dr Matt may be Josh's father but they cannot behave like this.

Bonnie is right, Lee-ann is pregnant in real-life.

Re the doctor/Ashley story-line maybe they didn't call the police because as much as they were wrong to turn up unannounced and grab Josh like that, I am sure that they will have rights. Although if it comes to the point where he does get access, does he then have to pay CSA payments?

Audrey put him in his place though didn't she? Good old Audrey.

I feel sorry for Mike, did he ask to be written out? It's so sad that he keeps asking for Alma.

I'm like you Bonnie, I sit here willing them to explain exactly what happened and they go all feeble and say nothing.

I'd be interested to know just what "rights" the Dr has to his son. Mr C has suddenly become an expert in Family Law and keeps saying that where a couple were unmarried the father has no rights whatsoever but I'm not so sure. Especially as the mother is dead too. Can't remember whose name was on the birth certificate and whether there was any legal proceedings regarding Josh (too long ago). Did the Dr. just agree to walk away?

I suppose it will all become clear after a long drawn out tug of love story :(

What's with the Richard Hillman sending cards? He was definitely dead and the body identified wasn't he? I can't believe it's David playing tricks - but then again :unsure:

I keep asking myself why I have to watch this nonsense but I do and I enjoy it (sort of) - another addiction I suppose :)

I dont know who it is ... but im more inclined to think it is Gail's boyfriend rather than David. I mean, the boyfriend is HUGELY dodgy in my eyes, and the fact he writes about criminals and the effects the family makes me think he is doing it for the reaction and to make Gail need him more.

But would the writers give her 2 dodgy men straight after one another??

Yeah interesting theory Bonnie but Seabreeze has a point - 2 psychopaths is stretching it a bit but in soaps anything can happen.

Mr. C has a theory (for someone who hates soaps he's full of it). He thinks Richard has a brother/relative who is out for some sort of revenge :unsure:

Why oh why does Deidre always wear a belt? It just accentuates the fact that she has no waist and a bulging stomach. Also, why was she at Josh's birthday party??

She probably took Amy

She probably took Amy

OK, I'll give her that. But what about the belt??

OK, I'll give her that. But what about the belt??
The belts are a :nono: It`s like you said - it points out her belly

Doesn't little Josh look like his real daddy matt!
I wonder if they are related at all in RL.
Agree Leanne does look very pregnant, but the clothes which are meant to conceal the fact actualy give it away.
Clare on the other hand was flat as a pancake two week ago and suddely has quite a bump on her, she's not 4 months yet is she?

Tracey is SUCH a coniving little b****.Can't wait for the goings on this week.
Yeah..Dreary and her belt.NOT a good luck on her.
She has not flirted with a man in about 3 weeks.She must be due an affair soon???

I did like Dierdre's pink top yesterday although it was a bit low cut for a woman of her age.

I cant understand all the fuss with Dr Matt, surely if a complaint was made that he slept with one of his patients whilst she was drunk and her husband was in hospital, he would be suffering a gross misconduct charge and could be struck off. Instead of Ashley just flying off the handle and threatening to punch him all the time why dont they just go and see a solicitor?

Hee..coz people in soaps are a bit thick, they NEVER see the obvious.
Dunno..maybe dr matt would get struck off..but he would still probably have rights over Joshua.
I missed the start of this story:Is it true to say that Dr Matts wife can't have kids...so that is the only reason they want Josh?
Like...the kid is nearly 4 years old.Surely he would have tried to find out about him before now, if only from a distance.
It strikes me as all very 'Silas Marner'....looking for the convenient answer!

Did you notice that Amy has been changed by a new actor? I thought she looked different last night but husband said no it`s just because her hair is tied back but today it`s in the newspapers. Apparently the original was getting too upset filming.

I thought the Amy last nite looked much cuter..and 'tidier'...she even looks like Tracey!
OOH yer woman (annoying woman Tracey met outside shoe shop..Steve's girlfriend) will certainly spill the beans.Charlie will go ballistic when he finds out.
Tho' maybe he will secretely admire Tracey and her cunning!

(excuse my ignorance but would she really be in and out in the one day for an abortion?) I was surprised to see her lolling about in her dressing gown (and FAB new shoes) last night, even tho' I know she was only pretending to have had the procedure!) Just wondering....

Yes abortions are just in and out. When Kaaaaaty got her`s her parents waited for her then bought her home.
This Amy is much nicer than the old one.

Yes..she is much much cuter all right.
Charlie mite even take to her!

Yes..she is much much cuter all right.
Charlie mite even take to her!

The other Amy always had bright red cheeks didn't she - always looked like she had a fever. The new one does look more like you'd expect a child of Tracy and Steve to look.

And this one can have surprisingly mature conversations on the phone, it seems. :glare:

LOL.
AND have the wherewithall (does that word exist!) to keep it secret.
How intelligent...for a toddler that does'nt even speak!

Just out of interest, how soon can you do a pregnancy test these days? Of course we never had those testing kits when I was young so you had to wait til you'd missed 3 periods and then the doctor could confirm it by examination.

So can you tell between periods now? Otherwise, wouldn't Charley have known that she hadn't missed one? Someone bring me up to date please :unsure:

Crit - you can find out very quickly with pregnancy kits. I was just a couple of days late with Abbier and I just KNEW I was pregnant (it was a huge shock), and the pregnancy kit confirmed it.

Both times I have been pregnant the doctor never confirmed it, just took my word that I had done a pregnancy test and booked me in for a scan.

Thanks for putting me right there Bella. I wish those kits had been available when I was younger - could have saved me many a worrying time :)

wouldn't Charley have known that she hadn't missed one? Someone bring me up to date please :unsure:

Mr.B would never know if i had / hadnt had my monthly period. He isnt an observant man :glare:

I felt a little emotional last night watching big bellied Dierdre dancing with Mike .... awwww.

When does Mike snuff it, its soon isnt it ?

Im getting sick and tired of Sarah Lou and her childishness. I mean, she is a mother (although you never see the kid, and often both her and Gail are in the pub together) and she used to have her own flat and work hard. Now she seems to have reverted to 14 years old, lives with mummy and doesnt bother grafting as its her 'Nan's' business. I just want to punch her.

Mike filmed his last scene last week so I suppose it will be a month or 2 before we see it (not sure how far ahead they film now). It was very sweet were he danced with Deirdre and I think it going to be very sad when he goes.

Does anyone else think that his illness has progressed rather rapidly? This usually takes years rather than months, unless of course he is going to snuff it due to his actions rather than the illness. :unsure: <------- Mike

When he went to the docs it was confirmed that he had had a stroke in Spain which has accelarated the illness.

Ah, I see. That might explain it, although I still think it's a bit quick.

This sounds terrible and I dont' mean it the way it sounds...(kind of!)
BUT..does anyone else think Mike was very jolly last nite!
I've never seen a 'party Mike' before..the way he was hitting on 'crackers' (leanne)
listening to records...now that was a first! and being all free-flowing with the whiskey!!!!
He was always a shrewd bossy businessman....and there he was last night really letting his hair down.
Poor old fekker.....

Mr.B would never know if i had / hadnt had my monthly period. He isnt an observant man :glare:.

I know they're not observant as such but they usually get the message that sex is off for a few days. I just thought that as Charlie and Tracy are probably at it like rabbits, Charlie would have known when it was off limits.

And I know that some couples still do it then :sick: but he would have definitely known about it. So I don't really see how he wouldn't know exactly when it was. Still, it's Soapland so they don't pay attention to small details like that. :)

Ah, I see. That might explain it, although I still think it's a bit quick.

Yep I agree, but you know what its like in soaps - they sell houses, exchange contracts and move in within a week!

I felt a bit emotional too when Mike danced with Deirdre, then the moment was spoiled by Deirdre boo-hooing in that smoke fuelled husky deep voice and I was distracted by her neck stretching to extraordinary proportions.

Maybe Tracy carried on taking her pills in the gap week so that she wouldn't get a period. The did say she was on the pill and her reason for getting preggers was that she forgot it a couple of times.....if she's been planning this a while she would most likey have stopped her period using the pill in order to convince him.

Come on guys this is a soap opera. I don`t think we are supposed to look to carefully into all those sort of details. Apart from the pub when does anyone else go to the loo?

Leanne phoned Deirdre last night and seemed to know the number off by heart as she didn't even have to leaf through an address book for it. I know I don't watch it that often but when did these two become pals? :glare:

Apart from the pub when does anyone else go to the loo?


...or watch tv?!

...or watch tv?!

And everyone always seems to have the right change when paying for drinks !

And everyone always seems to have the right change when paying for drinks !
...and they would all have cirrhosis of the liver judging by the amount of time they spend drinking in the pub.

And who looks after the kids while they are constantly at the pub?! :unsure:

Whatwas the point of the daft story of Audreh selling the salon? Now she has changed her mind - yawn! Also didnt Sarah-Whinge work for her before and she sacked her? What is she doing back again acting exactly the same way? She really is the most annoying little bint.

I didn`t even know she had been ill.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4844998.stm

That's a shame, I remember her in Corrie.
Did the actress have a drink problem though? Every time I saw her on TV she was absolutely off her face.
I remember she was on that friday night program called "The Word" and she was so drunk - was very embarassing to watch.

But still, hope she rests in peace and that her family are ok.

I thought she was already dead! :ohmy:

I remember the scene you are talkig about PJ, she had her lips done and her boobs were falling out of her dress while she was trying seduce some poor young man! It was very embarassing.

It's strange that when she played Ivy she was Gail's mother in law from h8ll but Gail is probably just as bad as she ever was!

Where would we be if we didn't have teh soaps to pull apart.
This is one of the reasons I love harry Hill's TV burp (hilarious tonight)

Now major point to raise here.
Does anyone remember a few months back when there was a bit of tension between Claire and Tracy?
Claire thought Amy had meningitous and took her to the hospital and Tracy was always having a go at Claire for being a boring speccy geek.
Well I distinctly remember during one of these exchanges Tracy having a dig that neither Clair nor Ashley was Joshua's natural parents. In fact I'm sure it migth have even been said in the pub with other people in ear shot and I remember thinking when did that become public knowledge and how the hell would Tracy Barlow know. I thought only Audrey and fred knew.

When Dr matt turned up at Josh's party and announced that he was his father, there were gasps from several people and it was obvious they had no idea.
So can someone tell me what is going on?

Ooooh ...good question.Alas..I don't know the answer.Hope somebody out there does.
????

I know I shouldn't laugh as it was an act of voilence but don't you just love Eileen Grimshaw for smacking Jason round the chops, when he announced he was going to get married to Sarah!

I think Jamie & Voilet are much nicee and suited couple.

You never see Sarah with Bethany and god knows what kind of child she is going to grow up to be with a gobby gran & gobby mum to look up to!

I know!
I was soooooooooooooooo fed up with the jason/sarah whiney loo story and then when they broke the news to eileen and she slapped him, it redeemed itself.
Class!
She was just doing aloud what everyone else has wanted to do for ages.
Nice one Eileen!

I would like to know how my takes that slapping took to film...

I love Eileen and think she has brilliant comic timing.

Did anyone see how TALL Bethany has grown ... and the fact her face and hair had totally changed from the last time we all saw her. I tell you, a diet of fish fingers and chips has done her the world of good.

IDid anyone see how TALL Bethany has grown ...


well she's certainly tall enough and old enough for her slatternly mother to say "Hi" or "Bye" when Bethany walks into a room or when Sarah Lou walks out!

Honestly, the way the children are never really taken into account in Coronation Street is baffling!

Tracey's the same, never even pretending to interact with her daughter.


... and why do these children NEVER need babysitting?! often the whole family will be down the pub with no mention of who is babysitting!

My son is 12 and babysitting is still a major consideration to me having a night out! I should live in Coronatin Street or Albert Square then I wouldn't need a babysitter! (mind you no-one ever goes further than across the street in either of these soaps!)

I did'nt see the Street last nite..but mary dolorous here was filling me in.
We are just wondering..like you say...WHO babysat Amy last nite while the four of them went out?
Apparently they just walked back into the flat and she was there.
Should'nt Steve at least have been furious?
????

WHO babysat Amy last nite while the four of them went out?????


Well it was the long suffering Ken and Dreary again but they had mysteriously disappeared when the four new drinking pals got back to Proper Charlie's flat. What on earth was that fiasco with Ronnie coming on to Charlie and then blanking him? Is there to be a love triangle there, oh god I hope not. That awful mole on her lip looks like a bogey and she is such a po-faced mare.

I only had half an eye on it last night between conversations with grandson, but I do remember that Ken and Dreary were roped in to babysit because they thought Tracy was bringing Amy to them but Tracy said "be at Charlie's for 7 pm" and there was a shocked look between Ken and Dreary and some comment about them not wanting to go to Charlie's place but they gave in.

Edit: Ooops sorry MariaRob - got sidetracked whilst answering this and you'd said the same as me.

I was confused about that bit with Ronnie and Charlie too. What was that all about ????

I too didnt understand what was happening with Charlie and Ronnie. Charlie didnt misread the signals - she was behaving like a b*tch on heat.

So is she trying to get back at Tracy by seducing 'her bloke' ?

Thanks folks...ken and dreary, I should have guessed.
OOOH I bet Ronnie is up to something.She wont' keep quiet about those shoes for long.
Maybe she is just as sneaky as Tracey?????

Might be a bit of a spoiler so don't look if you don't want to know.


On the front cover of today's Mirror it has the headline "Mike dies" well we all knew that but looks like he dies in Ken's arms confessing to him that he is in love with Deidre and that they are going to run away together. Poor Mike doesn't realise that this happened 20 years ago. I suppose froma soap point of view there is only a limited amount of time that they could run with Mike's story but in reality people with Alzheimer's disease live many years.
Anyway it will be screened next week.
Sad eh?

Next week eh? At least they are not dragging it on too long.
I kind of wish he did'nt have to die tho'.He's had some great story lines.
(and some bad ones..having to kiss dreary...bleurgh)
I wish he could have just gone off to retire in Spain or somewhere.....
or gone off in a black taxi like the otheres.
Ah well................

i think Mike's current storyline just goes to show how bloody awful Johnny Briggs' acting is! It's time he went ...

I think he`s taking off the part really well. I will be sad to see him go.

Does anyone else remember him as Cliff in Crossroads?

Crossroads was way before my time :whistling:

I have heard rumours of who is sending the cards to Gail and family. I won`t put anything on here but if anyone wants to PM me I will tell all. Note ; these are only rumours and may or maynot be true.

ooh...I kind of want to know and I kind of don't want to know.
Can you give a cryptic clue?
Could we guess..will we be surprised.....?:laugh:

I`m no good at cryptic clues. The person has had a story line with the Platt family before. I think it`s far fetched (but possible)

That was nice and cryptic. :-)
The only person who springs to mind is Bethany's crazy grandmother.She never got over the death of her son and the fact her husband left her.
But then again..this IS gail, so the list is probably endless.I was thinking it might be Todd too......but i doubt if he would bother doing anything like that.
Do we find out soon?
:-)

I read somewhere it was Gail herself that was sending the cards (attention seeking).

I`ve not heard about that but I suppose that could work. Although why would she have got rid of Phil? She seemed to like him.

personally I can think of a hundred reasons to get rid of Phil the foot fiddler!!! lol! he gives me the creeps good and proper.
