Coronation Street: Gloria! [Ep chat]

[Kerry]

Awwww Blanche memories :)

[Smithy]

aww I miss blanche :sad:

[Marsh.]

The way Steve accentuates his words is very cringey.
And Amy didn't seem at all bothered to be leaving. lol. Surely they all know this is all an act to try and win Steve over. As if she'd leave for good with no money and no one to sponge off.

[Kerry]

She's got Blanches inheritance

[joeysteele]

She's got Blanches inheritance

Of course she has,well remembered Kerry, I clean forgot about that.

[CarlaConnor]

aww Deirdre talking about Blanche :) ''go on... fall over'' :) miss Blanche <3 xxxx

[Marsh.]

And it's taken her this long to get off her fat arse and use it?

Something tells me it's not like Tracyluv to sit on all that money for so long.

[Kerry]

I think she's only actually mentioned it once vaguely since she's been back. £30k wasn't it? I think she spoke about setting up a flower business but obviously nothing came of it. I do often wonder why she bangs on about needing money though cos she obviously hasn't spent it

She probably lost it at the same place Roxy's millions vanished to in Eastenders.

[Kerry]

She probably lost it at the same place Roxy's millions vanished to in Eastenders.

True. Though oddly she's always minted again when it suits EE

[Kerry]

Keeps making me chuckle that for a "salon" and Maria being a "head stylist" they only ever put rollers in old ladies hair and do blue rinses at Audreys :joker:

[Kerry]

Cheryl's so gonna be back with Chris though I have heard that >

They do indeed end up back together and leave

Nothing confirmed though

[bbfan1991]

It's true, they leave with Russ for a fresh start.

[MTVN]

^ Doesn't surprise me tbh, you could see it coming, I do feel quite sorry for Chris though actually

[Kerry]

Poor Lloyd :(

[joeysteele]

^ Doesn't surprise me tbh, you could see it coming, I do feel quite sorry for Chris though actually

Me too, this is the first time I have liked Chris as a character in Corrie.

[joeysteele]

I see Leanne brought out the cardigan with the bows on again in tonights episode Kerry, I burst out laughing remembering what you said as to it.

[Jordan.]

Norma (Shameless) on Corrie the other day :amazed:

[Kerry]

I see Leanne brought out the cardigan with the bows on again in tonights episode Kerry, I burst out laughing remembering what you said as to it.

Every time I see it I laugh (while cringing) :laugh:

[Kerry]

Apart from the Fizz stuff Corrie was so funny tonight :D Mad Mary is hilarious

[Kerry]

Oh dear, Marcia's been discovered :laugh:

Boring episode tonight really

[Kerry]

This week

Coronation Street

With David still away learning to be the next Alan Sugar, Kylie’s forced into some hard work to win back Gail’s affections.

Well, not so much win back her affections as stop Gail throwing her out onto the street. But as you’d expect when Kylie attempts diplomacy, it just leads to a huge barney.

She begins promisingly - by apologising to Audrey. One of those awkward conversations we’ve all had, isn’t it? “Sorry for blackmailing you about your transvestite boyfriend, boss.” But Audrey orders her out. And things aren’t any more comfortable at home when Gail refuses to back down, even after Kylie explains Social Services are visiting tomorrow to discuss her access to Max.

What’s the best thing for Kylie to do in this scenario? Try harder to apologise? No. She steals Nick’s keys to Number 8 and locks Gail out. Nice one, Kylie.

David arrives in the middle of the inevitable furore. But Kylie won’t open up because he forgot her birthday. It’s only after he shows her the receipt for some flowers that she opens up and hostilities resume. As they struggle to reach a truce, David drops a bombshell of his own – he has the chance to leave the Street and start out on his own...

Gail is stunned. Having the 22-year-old son (an attempted murderer) and his wife (who has lied non-stop, tried to sell her baby and blackmailed Gail’s mum) move out would be awful. She reconsiders but David seems determined. Is this the last we will see of him, Max and Kylie.

Also this week, Tyrone gets involved in a plan to help Fiz.

[MTVN]

Kylie :love:

[bbfan1991]

Kylie and David are brilliant together:D.

I was on Kylie's side last week and I do feel sorry for Audrey but she seemed to just dismiss Marc tonight?:conf:

Mary is so not funny to me and I cringed at her last week, awful awful character.

[MTVN]

Audrey and Gail were both being bitches to her :nono:

And yeah Marys gotten old now, I don't find her as funny any more, Roys Mum >

Also this threads been really dead lately :suspect:

[Kerry]

Mary's OK for the odd (I emphasize odd) appearance but not an episode full

[MTVN]

Yeah she's a real small doses character :p

[Scarlett.]

Ooooooh Sunday looks good!

[Locke.]

Tyrone and the gang are amazing

[Scarlett.]

I agree, they need to have more storylines like that one :D

[Marsh.]

I am so sick of Kylie. She's just like Becky, she arrives all chavvy and bitchy, then shows she has a heart and calms down, has some character development and then when it's worn thin they strip her back to bitchy cardboard cutout. Then she's all sorrowful, back to bitchy, sorrowful, back to bitchy. The conversation with Gail and Audrey was just pathetic as though Kylie hadn't done anything and they'd misjudged her. If anything she proved their earlier suspicions 100% right. Do the writers of this soap actually read each other's scripts?

[Scarlett.]

Gail and Audrey did actually judge Kylie from the off though

[Marsh.]

Gail and Audrey did actually judge Kylie from the off though

Yes, but she was upset about it. Yet what about their initial judgement did they get wrong? She's proved them right, so it's all her own fault in the end.

[Callum]

Didn't know where to post this but I am not a fan of the new Harvey's adverts for Corrie! :laugh:

[Kerry]

Becky and Kylie's storylines just go round and round now.

[Kerry]

Seemed all very fast tonight!

Showing my age now but Franks mum used to play Barbara in Duty Free :D

[Marsh.]

Didn't she play Barbara in "Barbara"?

[Kerry]

Didn't she play Barbara in "Barbara"?

Maybe she likes being Barbara

[Kerry]

Oh it wasn't Barbara. Just looked it up. It says she played Amy

[Marsh.]

It seemed Carla got annoyed with the in-laws a little too quickly. It showed them getting along fine, hardly anyone spoke then in the next scene she's getting OTT annoyed.

But the stunt was good, even though I think it's one disaster too far for the Barlows. Fires, tram crash, burning flat, fall down the stairs, now a smashed up bookies and critical Stella all in 12 months lol.

Haha yeah. When I saw that the car went into the bookies aswell as knocking Stella into next week I did wonder how much bad luck could possibly happen :joker:

[Scarlett.]

It is all a little too much xD

[Kerry]

I don't think they like keeping the street solid this year. Theres always a house or shop in bits :joker:

[joeysteele]

I don't think they like keeping the street solid this year. Theres always a house or shop in bits :joker:

I still blame John Stape for it all.:joker::joker:

[Kerry]

I still blame John Stape for it all.:joker::joker:

:D

[Scarlett.]

lol they should have saved it for a stunt next year to explain the difference between the twenty year old set and the brand new one

[bbfan1991]

I LOVE Kylie and David together:D, the Platts are the best family on the street IMO.

I'm not looking forward to this Carla storyline but Alison King will do an amazing job.

The Kirk etc storyline really didn't interest me at all.

[Kerry]

I thought the 'gangsta' had run off

[Kerry]

YEEEEESSSSSS nice one Fizz

[bbfan1991]

Fiz!:D

[Kerry]

Fiz!:D

I'm so glad we got to see that side of her. Confident and strong. Not a frightened rabbit

[joeysteele]

I'm so glad we got to see that side of her. Confident and strong. Not a frightened rabbit

Loved it, Her acting there was really good too.

[bbfan1991]

Poor Carla:(. Alison King is such an underrated actress, she was fantastic that scene when she was on the floor crying after being raped was harrowing to watch.

Maria will be thanking her lucky stars that didn't happen to her and although Carla didn't believe her, how was she to know he would be capable of that what with his nice guy charm in public...

[Smithy]

:sad:

[Kerry]

Glad Maria's got to her and someone knows. Even though I've heard odds and sods of spoilers I was surprised and happy (as happy as you can be) she's turned to her

[Visage]

Carla was awesome last night. I too am pleased she called Maria, if anyone is going to understand her it's Maria

[bbfan1991]

I've never liked Maria but am actually liking her in this storyline:blush:.

[Scarlett.]

Just caught up with the episodes, poor Carla D: I felt sorry for Frank until he turned nasty, then I hated him

[Visage]

I've heard Corrie is on tonight (Wed) not checked if that's true or not.

[Scarlett.]

Yeah it is, I'll edit it in to the title

[Visage]

Nice one, saves me having to check it. LOL

[Visage]

& what a cracking episode it was.

Brilliant acting from all concerned.

[Kerry]

Yes. Well done for tonight. Great acting

[Scarlett.]

Jesus, well done to Peter for knocking the **** out of Frank!

[Kerry]

Jesus, well done to Peter for knocking the **** out of Frank!

Franks got him where he wants him now though :(

[Scarlett.]

Hopefully Sean will convince the factory staff that Carla is telling the truth

[Visage]

I'm really hating Frank Foster now.

[Kerry]

Good to see a pair of balls from Shaun today

[Visage]

Alison King has been phenomenal in her role throughout this rape story.

[Kerry]

Alison King has been phenomenal in her role throughout this rape story.

Absolutely :)

[Visage]

Loved Eileen in tonight's double bill.

Hilarious scenes with both Julie and Rosie.

Those two crack me up :D

[Visage]

I've just been reading Steve's one night stand Beth is coming back into the show. I thought she night return.:dance:

Coronation Street bosses have announced that Steve McDonald's old flame Beth will be joining Underworld later this year.

Beth, played by actress Lisa George, first appeared on the soap in August as Steve arranged a date with her at the Bistro in a bid to make Becky jealous.

The storyline saw Steve (Simon Gregson) recall that Beth was a stunning model when he knew her years ago, but as they were reunited, he was far from impressed when he saw how she had changed.

In the end, Beth and Steve were both kicked out of the Bistro amid a heated row with Becky (Katherine Kelly), who was having a fling with Nick Tilsley at the time.

ITV.com has now revealed that Beth is to become a new recruit for Underworld and will be getting involved "in some of the dramas" at the factory.

George has previously played minor roles in Coronation Street in 1997, 2005 and 2007

[Kerry]

Silly Lorraine Kelly mentions :rolleyes:

[Scarlett.]

Silly Lorraine Kelly mentions :rolleyes:

Was it a tie-in to this?

[Kerry]

I presume so. Just don't like it on the main show :(

[Scarlett.]

I think its good to tie it in lol, or else it makes no sense

[Scarlett.]

Mr. Chips? lmao

[Nicky.]

Does she go to prison then or? :3 xx

[Scarlett.]

I actually dunno lol

[Nicky.]

You used to be fab babe, you really did.

:(

[Scarlett.]

lol xD

[Tom]

If they send her to prison then they're just writing her character off and they won't do that for someone like Fiz

This is a classic case of all evidence mounting against her at first, with an eleventh hour turnaround (probably with John stuff)

Mary had me in stitches tonight. Classic character and very underrated

[Kerry]

"Would you like a boiled sweet?"

[Kerry]

Had to laugh at the situation with Rosie. She's sat with a murderer who hates her yet nibbling sweets. :joker:

[Visage]

Had to laugh at the situation with Rosie. She's sat with a murderer who hates her yet nibbling sweets. :joker:

John Stape is a brilliant character I laughed through all his scenes with Rosie. I love how he talks about Charlotte's murder as just a casual thing, like nipping to the shop for a loaf of bread.

[Jarrod]

Does Fiz get off?

[Visage]

Does Fiz get off?

Yeah, I'm sure she does, they never keep them in prison for too long. Unless the actor leaves the street which I haven't heard Fiz is leaving.

[Locke.]

Mr Chips twatting Jason with the flower pot :joker:

[Scarlett.]

Why was Fiz convicted for Colin's murder? Rita had pretty damning evidence placing Charlotte there, not Fiz

[Kerry]

Why was Fiz convicted for Colin's murder? Rita had pretty damning evidence placing Charlotte there, not Fiz

She was always going to get convicted for one. Just so John can get her off

[Kerry]

The story with Chris is brilliant and that I hate what he is doing. Can't wait to see how this one develops.

[Kerry]

Most ridiculous episode EVER!

[Scarlett.]

Teh Stape :(

[Visage]

Most ridiculous episode EVER!

What part ?

[Marsh.]

Wouldn't surprise me if we had John Stape's video confession played into the court and Fiz was released straight away. Just stupid and unbelievable.

[Visage]

I can't stand that little brat Faye.

[Scarlett.]

I'm actually glad Michelle is back, she's a lot better as a factory manager than a barmaid

[Kerry]

What part ?

Oh sorry. Never saw this. Forgotten now :blush:

[Kerry]

I'm actually glad Michelle is back, she's a lot better as a factory manager than a barmaid

Is she staying? Does she get the factory back on it's feet?

[Scarlett.]

Is she staying? Does she get the factory back on it's feet?

Not actually sure lol, don't read as many spoilers anymore, I reckon Nick will be pulled in though, he was ahem...big in womens underwear

[Kerry]

[Visage]

I'm really looking forward to Cheryl finding out the truth about Chris.

[Kerry]

I'm really looking forward to Cheryl finding out the truth about Chris.

Me too. Dunno how he thought he could get away with it

Never liked her - serves her right :devil:

[Visage]

Never liked her - serves her right :devil:

Agreed, there doesn't seem to be any depth to the character and the only interesting thing about her is Chris. She's even turned Lloyd into a bore, he works well with Steve and I thought he was great with Liz. Not so much with Cheryl though.

[Kerry]

Bye Bye Schmike :bawling: :bawling:

[Kerry]

OMG How cheeky is Cheryl?? Asking Lloyd back again! I wanted to bitch slap the TV!

[Visage]

OMG How cheeky is Cheryl?? Asking Lloyd back again! I wanted to bitch slap the TV!

Indeed.


I'm so glad that she finally found out about Chris and even more-so when she dumped him.

['Conor]

I just watched full episodes of Ashley & Maxine's wedding

was really good :love:

[Visage]

I like Brian and Julie and I was looking forward to the scene with the UFO, only when it happened I didn't really find it that funny. They reminded me of Reg & Maureen and I don't mean in a good way.

[Kerry]

Tonight's episode was rather strange. Sort of like they wanted to make it comedic - but not :conf:

(and where did Michelle's bags go?)

[Visage]

I loved tonight's episodes with Rita, Norris, Emily and Deirdre discussing The Tudors. Hilarious when Emily said it was racy and Norris trying to make out he wasn't watching. Also when Deidre said it got Ken in the 'mood' then she went on to say he had gout....:laugh:

Also loved the scene with Rita and Dennis, she's smitten alright...:dance:


Wasn't impressed with the Michelle and Ciaran story, I'm glad he's gone..

[Visage]

Tonight's episode was rather strange. Sort of like they wanted to make it comedic - but not :conf:

(and where did Michelle's bags go?)

Nevermind her bags, has she even mentioned her son Ryan (or the real one Alex) since she's been back..?

[Kerry]

Nevermind her bags, has she even mentioned her son Ryan (or the real one Alex) since she's been back..?

Ryan's been mentioned fleetingly by Ciaran I think but I can't recall anything else

[Visage]

Ryan's been mentioned fleetingly by Ciaran I think but I can't recall anything else

If Michelle is still in the show in five years I can see another recast coming in, someone probably ten years older than the character Ryan.

[Visage]

It's the little things in Corrie that piss me off. The other night Nick & Eva were taking the wine and the security guard came back. They managed to avoid getting caught but once he had gone I wondered how they were going to get the van out of the security gates. Why would the guard not lock the gates on his way out ? I'm not even going to ask if they had CCTV, what with Nick's name plastered all over the van.


Then when Max went missing, he managed to walk into a busy Rovers, and walk through the bar without anyone seeing him....

[Scarlett.]

I liked the start to this week, was nice to see characters off the street a bit more

[Visage]

I wonder..... Is Kirsty going to turn out to be a bunny boiler...






(I do hope so)

[Kerry]

I wonder..... Is Kirsty going to turn out to be a bunny boiler...

Definitely after tonight :shocked:

[Visage]

Definitely after tonight :shocked:

I hope they really go to town with her and really turn her into a right nut job..:D

[Kerry]

Loved seeing Rita pissed as a fart :laugh:

[Visage]

She was hilarious and her hair was just fantastic.

[Kerry]

Tracey :shocked: Evil bitch. Dreary better tell the truth! :mad:

[Visage]

Tracey :shocked: Evil bitch. Dreary better tell the truth! :mad:

What an evil cow.



Don't look if you don't want to know what happens. The truth does come out & Becky gets the last laugh.

[Kerry]

What an evil cow.



Don't look if you don't want to know what happens. The truth does come out & Becky gets the last laugh.

:hello:

[Visage]

Really felt sorry for Becky tonight, especially when she over heard Hayley thinking she might have been guilty.

Totally touched by what Roy said about Becky.

I can't wait for Steve and the rest of them to find out the truth.

[Kerry]

I know. Poor Becky :( Just when doors seem to be opening for her and Kylie too

Stupid wench Tracy :mad:


How bloody Cheesy was the nativity birth though? Bloody PURE smelly Stilton that :laugh2:

[Marsh.]

I can't stand stories like this in soaps. When they completely ignore character's history and personality to suit the current plot, Becky should have been given a better exit than a rehash of Karen's storylines.

On what planet would Roy, Hayley and Steve believe a word that comes out of Tracey's mouth? She's the resident convicted murderer, back when she put Roy and Hayley through hell pretending Amy was Roy's. It's laughable. And Dreary just going along with it. Really bad writing.

Plus, Steve leaving his wife after getting Tracy pregnant and his ex wife being distraught because she's barren, do the writer's not remember doing this exact same thing before? I think Karen left around Christmas time too. lol
It's worse than Eastenders.

As for the cliche birth, got to say I laughed when Chesney and Gary stuck in the middle of nowhere with one bike between them made it to the birth well in time before the bloody ambulance.

[Kerry]

Hayley disappointed me. Loved Roy for defending her. He's so awkward but you can tell he thinks the world of Becky

[Kerry]

Oh and the name Joseph :sleep:

[Visage]

Becky should have been given a better exit than a rehash of Karen's storylines.
.


Becky's story isn't over yet.

I do agree with you on the character's personality changing just to suit the story, it goes on all the time.

It's like when they write two characters together that don't usually speak to each other all year round, again just to suit the story.

[Visage]

Oh and the name Joseph :sleep:

I hate any kind of soap story that is either a wedding or a birth. They have to make both these into major tragedies, that all come together at the end of the episode. I've yet to see a soap character give birth after 12 hours of pushing and screaming, they all just seem to drop out wherever they are.



Only one thing that annoyed me more than this birth tonight and it was that little brat wrapped in blue pillow cases hiding away in the corner, only later to be found stuffing biscuits down her throat.

[Kerry]

Was tonight on Corrie supposed to be Xmas Eve?

[Visage]

Yes I believe it was, with Sunday's based on the actual day.

[Kerry]

Yes I believe it was, with Sunday's based on the actual day.

Thought so, ta :)

I'm usually the same, but tonights was done really well, I think the Chesney and Gary side story helped out, their journey back to Weatherfield was charming, and I loved the fact that Beetham tower acted as 'the star'.

I agree about Faye though

[Locke.]

I thought Becky was dying tonight?

[Jordan.]

Crap episode, the fire lasted about 2 minutes :bored:

[Scarlett.]

It was obvious the fire wasnt going to be massive, since none of the pictures or trailers actually showed the fire lol

I enjoyed tonights ep

[Visage]

I thought it was a great episode.

Loved all the Norris and Mary bitching, even more-so when Sylvia returned.

Eileen and that Turkey was brilliant.

I was also pleased that Gail stood up for Becky.

I was waiting for Carla to turn up in the Rovers, I guess that's going to happen very soon.

[Scarlett.]

Sylvia singing xD

That's the reason why I love Corrie's christmas episodes, they're never all doom and gloom.

I really loved the opening with the radio xD

[bbfan1991]

I never even bothered to watch Corrie tonight even though I did see the preview..

Still EastEnders had 8 out of 10 trending UK topics at one stage;):p.

[Visage]

Totally, It's what I love about Corrie, then never fail to bring in the laughter.

Oh me too, a real nice festive feel for the Christmas episode.

The only letdown for me was the way it ended, I wanted Rita to sing us out again :joker:

I love how they make the effort these days to make it feel like a Christmas special rather than an episode of Corrie at Christmas

Especially with their festive break bumpers
http://i43.tinypic.com/1z1xxrn.jpg

[bbfan1991]

EastEnders had some lighter moments tonight amongst the drama, shocker:p.

[Scarlett.]

And Corrie had some dramatic moments among all the happiness and cheer, not so shocker xD

[bbfan1991]

And Corrie had some dramatic moments among all the happiness and cheer, not so shocker xD

Wait till Corrie has complaints from people who think it has gone all too serious:joker:.

[Scarlett.]

Yet they ran a story with a semi-immortal peadophile-cum-accidental seiral killer-cum-serial kidnapper teacher for 3 years xD

[bbfan1991]

Some people expect Corrie to be light and fluffy all the time which is the big problem...

[Jords]

Becky's flat fire was sooo disappointing :/

[Scarlett.]

Some people expect Corrie to be light and fluffy all the time which is the big problem...

I've only really heard those sort of complaints from the New Zealand fans, they seem to expect the show to represent Britian of the 70s

I never expected much of the flat fire, I don't see why the advertised it tbh xD it was obvious it wasnt gonna be big, at least not EE big

[bbfan1991]

Some sections of the UK fanbase do expect it light and fluffy all the time IMO, which is why TPTB are always under pressure but thankfully they do not buckle under it always...

I read an article where Michelle Keegan says she thinks Tina and Tommy could be like the next Jack and Vera, is she deluded?:bored:

[Scarlett.]

LOL! If there's anyone who has a chance of being a devoted couple like Jack and Vera, I'd say its David and Kylie, they have a real tight bond and amazing chemistry xD

Tina needs to go, she's so up her own arse, and same for Tommy. So glad Sian is going soon, tired of whiney Sophie

[bbfan1991]

I love David and Kylie together they're just exciting and unpredictable:blush:, it helps that Jack and Paula are lovely on Twitter too.

I agree that Tina needs to go. Chris would have been better cast as a new character and not some guy with just the Duckworth name to live off...

[Scarlett.]

I agree with that, all the Duckworth kids are the same though - Terry, Paul, and Tommy, only in it for themselves

[Marsh.]

Becky's story isn't over yet.

I do agree with you on the character's personality changing just to suit the story, it goes on all the time.

It's like when they write two characters together that don't usually speak to each other all year round, again just to suit the story.

I know that. But Tracey/Steve/Becky is 99% a photocopy of Tracey/Steve/Karen.

And I don't see what people were disappointed about when it came to the fire. Not all fires have to be a huge melodramatic explosion.

[Visage]

I know that. But Tracey/Steve/Becky is 99% a photocopy of Tracey/Steve/Karen.



Yes, we've definitely got a case of history repeating itself.

[Scarlett.]

Corrie got over 9m! Usually they only get 7m for Christmas O_O

[Scarlett.]

Finally Becky has the upper hand!

[Visage]

Corrie got over 9m! Usually they only get 7m for Christmas O_O

Well deserved too.

[Niamh.]

Becky was amazing tonight :love: Can't believe Steve still believes Tracey :bored:

[Scarlett.]

Best part of the episode for me
http://i44.tinypic.com/6q8p6h.jpg

Gail is so much better these days

[Scarlett.]

Best part of the episode for me
http://i44.tinypic.com/6q8p6h.jpg

Gail is so much better these days

[Niamh.]

Yeah, I'm loving the new chilled Gail :laugh:

[Visage]

Gail has been brilliant these past few months. All her scenes in the Bistro are a credit to Helen Worth. I do prefer this Gail than the one of a 'suffering' wife.

Plus I love all her interactions with Kylie. I really didn't like Kylie when she first arrived, but she fits in that Platt household like she's been there for years.

[Visage]

It's been a great 4 days for Corrie with the only let down coming from the likes of Sian, Sophie and Amber. The quicker this story ends the better.

[Scarlett.]

The family units have all improved this year, the whole Platt family has finally got a "normal" feel back after so many ridiculous storylines, David's a really nice guy again too.

The Armstrong/Brown/Windass clan are definately the main family on the street now though, Corrie have needed a family like that for ages

[Niamh.]

It's been a great 4 days for Corrie with the only let down coming from the likes of Sian, Sophie and Amber. The quicker this story ends the better.

Yeah, that's a really stupid story :bored:

[Kerry]

Loved when Gail lobbed the book - "Be thankful you were too tight to buy me the hardback!!" :joker:

[Scarlett.]

It's been a great 4 days for Corrie with the only let down coming from the likes of Sian, Sophie and Amber. The quicker this story ends the better.

Good god yes, the only character I like in it is Rosie, they best give Amber a better storyline after this, and bring back the old Soph

[Niamh.]

It might be no harm to get rid of Sian, she's really dull. An Amber/Sophie relationship could be interesting

[Scarlett.]

I think she's gone by Friday :hugesmile:

[Visage]

Loved when Gail lobbed the book - "Be thankful you were too tight to buy me the hardback!!" :joker:

Fantastic :joker:

Good god yes, the only character I like in it is Rosie, they best give Amber a better storyline after this, and bring back the old Soph

Amber was great a few years back and I was really looking forward to her return this year. The whole love triangle as ruined Amber, but I have faith her normal personality will resume. ( It bleeding better do...:joker:)

[Scarlett.]

The thing about the Sophie and Sian relationship is it's so secluded, Sian doesnt know anyone else

[Visage]

The thing about the Sophie and Sian relationship is it's so secluded, Sian doesnt know anyone else

I hadn't thought about that, but yeah you're spot on. It wasn't as bad when they were mixing with Ryan and Ben, but since the boys left Sian has become same baggage that Sophie carries around every other day.

[Marsh.]

IMO Amber is just as bad if not worse in the Irritating Voice stakes as Sawphie and Siaaaan.
The sooner they write her out again the better, she has such a monotonous voice and face you just want to smack.

[MTVN]

This is stupid :idc:

[Ninastar]

they had the same dress :bored:

[Jords]

Sian >>>>> Amber

Sophie iz a fool.

[Kerry]

they had the same dress :bored:

Yeah, naff

[Marsh.]

I missed the first few minutes but it looks like they tried to make one of those "classic" wedding gone wrong episodes and all I heard was "Sawphie" "Siaaan" over and over. Thank god that comes to an end.

[Visage]

This is stupid :idc:

At least it's over now.

[joeysteele]

It's been a really poor storyline throughout, I am pleased to see the end of it at last.

[Scarlett.]

Thank **** she's gone.

[Jords]

I personally think Sian/Sophie relationship has been a really interesting one. They should being Sian back with a fella in like 2 years and then the chemistry reignites :amazed:

[Scarlett.]

God no, we'd have to endure more of SAWFEH and Siaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaan

[Visage]

Thank **** she's gone.

...........................:D

[Kerry]

Dear God, that wailing! :shocked: :shocked:

[Scarlett.]

DOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENT GOEH SIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

I AF TEW SAWFEH

SIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I ATE YEW SAWFEH

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE PLEEEEEEEEZE SIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

AM GOEN SAWFEH


Me: THEN ****ING GO ALREADY!

[Ninastar]

I know! My god her voice grates me.

[Visage]

Now she's gone we can safely return and I think Frank Foster will be the main ingredient needed over the next few weeks.

[Scarlett.]

The lead up to the murder will be good

[Visage]

The lead up to the murder will be good

I'm sticking with the

mother

for now...:hugesmile:

[Scarlett.]

I wonder what will happen to the second factory?

[Kerry]

No weekend/New Year episode?

[Visage]

I wonder what will happen to the second factory?

I'd say the same thing that happened to Diggory's bakers, or Ashley's Butchers or Dev's kebab shop.


Unless something did happen to those three & I've totally missed that..... :laugh:

[Scarlett.]

But surely Frank will leave it to someone?

[Visage]

But surely Frank will leave it to someone?

Hmm


Maybe he leaves it to Carla in a sick twist to remind her of him....




(However he might not have left it to anyone, not banking on dying so early)

[Visage]

I'm a little confused by Eileen's story. The other night she told Paul that she is comfortable with having an affair with him. Understandably he turned this down in light of how he feels towards Lesley.

But wasn't Paul the one in the beginning wanting the affair to happen, before Eileen knew of Lesley..?

[Scarlett.]

Why the feck did Steve have to be difficult and not just give Becky her money?

[Visage]

Why the feck did Steve have to be difficult and not just give Becky her money?

Yeah, that annoyed me too.

However I'm so happy with Becky's story, she has found the perfect man who has a child which Becky will adore and treat him as her own. No ex to fall out with, no mother to go up against. Perfect.

Becky has shown signs that with a good partner (role model) she can be a great person.

[Scarlett.]

Yeah, everything looks great for her now

[MTVN]

Aw Owen loves his fish

[Scarlett.]

She kinda deserved that, but I recently heard about her past....Owen did the wrong thing in that respect

[Visage]

Yeah, everything looks great for her now

Then add Barbados to that.:elephant:

I'm really happy for her character exit, couldn't happen to a nicer character.

[Scarlett.]

I was happy to see Tyrone and Kevin making a step back to being mates

[bbfan1991]

I was happy to see Tyrone and Kevin making a step back to being mates

Same. I really want Sally and Kevin to get together once Frank leaves.

I prefer Kirsty over Tina!:joker:

[bbfan1991]

I still don't like Becky, looking forward to Friday now:D. Katherine Kelly will be missed but the show still goes on...

Robert Vaughn interview:), what a charming and nice guy.

[Scarlett.]

Same, on both accounts, god Tina is a ****ing misery guts

[bbfan1991]

I find Michelle Keegan so overrated, it annoys me now;).

Paula Lane is a much better Actress than her by far!

[Visage]

Tina has annoyed me ever since her dad died and she blames Gail, then the whole Graeme/Xin thing was a mess. Much prefer Kylie of Tina. They have really made David and Kylie work well.

[Scarlett.]

Kylie is fantastic, her and David are probably the best couple on the street

[MTVN]

I don't really see why Becky needs to break into the medical centre, surely that Hotel guy (can't remember his name) could back her up before he goes off to Barbados, and there were others there as well who could also verify it, the receptionist or some of the other employees or something

[Smithy]

omg that was amazing

Glad Becky got a good ending, strange to think where she began

http://i43.tinypic.com/xmv8jq.jpg

[Visage]

Tonight's double episode was absolutely amazing, even better than the any of the five episodes that aired last year from the 50th.

Oh I mean the year before.

I loved the twist of Becky waiting till they were married before causing mayhem.

Brilliant.

[Scarlett.]

Fantastic ending for Becky, she deserved happyness

[Visage]

It was like a fairytale ending and she really deserved that. We'll have none of this Eastenders 'kill them all off' going on in Corrie...:laugh:

It was sad to see Roy and Hayley loose someone they both love dearly, but yeah, fantastic ending for Becky.

I had hoped that one day she might return, but now I don't think so, only because I like the idea of her living it up in Barbados and if the time ever came, she might not fit back in as well. That's not to say she can't visit the Street if such a reason ever came about.

[Scarlett.]

Phil Collinson said he wouldn't mind bringing her back for one episode in the future, like they did with Raquel on the first day of 2000

[MTVN]

I'm glad she went through with it, I thought she might bottle it with a load of "he chose her" rubbish, gonna miss Becky though

Roy's Mum is a legend as well

[Jords]

Becky :lovedup:

[Smithy]

11.5 Million saw her leave last night :o

[Scarlett.]

That's awesome for an episode where theres no big explosions or deaths, just good drama! :p

[Scarlett.]

sxvmeONYt6c

[Visage]

There's a special (tribute I think) show on tonight called 'Farewell Becky'

[Visage]

11.5 Million saw her leave last night :o

That's brilliant:elephant:

[Visage]

Fantastic news tonight for Corrie grabbing the award for the best soap (serial drama) and Becky winning one too.

[Scarlett.]

I agree, about time we won!

[Visage]

Yes, I do get fed up of Eastenders winning everything.


Great timing what with Becky's exit and the big fall-out with Steve & Tracy.


It's almost as if they planned it to happen during the NTA week where most votes will be made.

If that is the case then well done guys they pulled a blinder this evening.

[Scarlett.]

Tonight!

I've been looking forward to Milton turning up.

[Scarlett.]

Same, I hear Sylvia has been telling one or two porkies about Roy's wealth xD

[Visage]

Same, I hear Sylvia has been telling one or two porkies about Roy's wealth xD

Yeah, there's something sinister about Milton (So I've heard) :laugh:

[Scarlett.]

Really? D:

[MTVN]

Sylvia on the banjo :joker: who's the guy playing Milton, recognise him from somewhere?

[Scarlett.]

Sylvia on the banjo :joker: who's the guy playing Milton, recognise him from somewhere?

He's an American actor he has been in alsorts of stuff - Murder She Wrote, Guiding Light, and most recognisably to us - Hustle

[MTVN]

Ah yeah that's it, Hustle!

[bbfan1991]

Sylvia was good on the Banjo:D. I like Milton already, shame that Robert Vaughn could only do a short term role but he is an amazing Actor and a coup to ahve for the show.

I really cannot stand Mary:bored:.

Trial should be good, i'm still sticking to my theory that Frank gets found not guilty due to not enough evidence and Carla/Peter affair being revealed but I think if they are killing him off then his mother will be the one to do it, she'll find out that he is actually guilty and it pushes her over the edge.

[Visage]

Yeah, I think it's obvious he's going to be found not guilty, because we know he's not going down and that he does the dirty trick again. Why not if he thinks he can get away with it.

I agree with you on the mother theory.


But disagree with you on Mary....:( She's fantastic.... :D

[Niamh.]

Oh, who to? Sally?

It'll be so Frank thinks he gets away with it but he'll have his just deserts when he didn't expect it.

I think Anne will then try and blame Carla/Peter or maybe Kevin for the crime, who is jealous of Sally getting close to Frank but can see that his Sal is being used;).

[MTVN]

I'm not sure if I like Mary or not, I find her funny sometimes but she can also be a bit annoying, and I still think it's ridiculous that her and Norris are great friends again after she went psycho on him :laugh:

[bbfan1991]

Mary is annoying full stop. I find her as funny as piles:rolleyes:.

Julie is hilarious, so underrated in the comedy stakes and Katy Cavanagh outshines Patti Clare IMO.

[Visage]

Oh, who to? Sally?


Well apparently

Once he is found not guilty he works more on Sally until he attempts to rape. (I'm not sure if it goes all the way) Then he is found dead, suspected murdered. Kevin is the first suspect after it emerges he rapes (or attempts) Sally.

I think they are going to run a 'who-done-it' plot.

So the rumours say...

[Visage]

I think it's the mother who does it. Not sure if it's actual murder or self defense. I never thought about your theory that she could shove Peter/Carla or Kevin in the frame though. That sounds exciting, especially if she can plant some evidence on any of them.

[Visage]

I'm not sure if I like Mary or not, I find her funny sometimes but she can also be a bit annoying, and I still think it's ridiculous that her and Norris are great friends again after she went psycho on him :laugh:

Yeah I have questioned Norris being so close with her after what she put him through. Although I seem to remember both Rita and Emily telling Norris it was all in his head.

I don't care though because I think they work so well together.


Mary doesn't have to speak sometimes & she makes me laugh with her facial expressions.
