Ahhh XD
This is going to be AMAZING!!!!

Is this all down to Phill Collinson?

They better have adverts building up to this too or else I'll be pissed

Scarlett.
19-05-2010, 03:49 PM
I think its Phil and Kim's work :p

and I think this will be HEAVILY promoted xD

Smithy
19-05-2010, 03:51 PM
They should have mini adds building up to longer ones like they do with BB, and they should show them during ITV's biggest shows, i.e during BGT on a saturday

Scarlett.
19-05-2010, 03:52 PM
I agree, there should deffo be idents, like they did for Mad Maya

Smithy

Yea he shoots himself and sets fire to the place too

Scarlett.
19-05-2010, 11:20 PM
Just noticed, if you look closely at the pic you can see police tape, so looks like the part about armed police being there was true :3

Smithy
19-05-2010, 11:21 PM
Ohh yea :p

And the free Gail banner :laugh:

Scarlett.
19-05-2010, 11:22 PM

Lets hope that isnt in the new opening credits :eek:

Smithy
19-05-2010, 11:22 PM
The explosion or the banner :joker:?

Scarlett.
19-05-2010, 11:24 PM
Both :o

but I meant the banner xD

Scarlett.
22-05-2010, 02:04 PM
DS should be posting a pic from seige week at 00:00 tonight, unless they choose a Gail's trial pic

Ah right xD I was pissed when DS released pics of her trial and not the seige xD

Smithy
22-05-2010, 11:52 PM
The trial pics were on ITV though

Scarlett.
22-05-2010, 11:52 PM

Exactly the reason why I was pissed with DS xD

bbfan1991
22-05-2010, 11:54 PM
Ah right xD I was pissed when DS released pics of her trial and not the seige xD

I saw a thread on DS which a FM claimed that Corrie were filming near to where they work or live and then said the spoiler for the trial.. then couple of days after the pics on ITV appeared so after putting two and two together they were right after all:D.

Scarlett.

Smithy

Oh well it's on TV in less than a week, so i imagine in the papers very soon :P

You can just imagine the Sun or NOTW to go and break it:rolleyes:, at least Sharon Marshall on This Morning can give hints but know when to keep quiet.

Scarlett.

Ha Ha that will be them not getting any ED spoilers for a while:p.

bbfan1991
23-05-2010, 12:29 AM
I think it's really good that Aaron and Chas are talking again.. Danny Miller and Lucy Pargeter's scenes seem really natural and not forced:).

Heard that Eve Moves onto Carl next which means affair storyline then means that they're probably splitting up Carl and Chas for good.. who I adore in terms of ED couples and putting her back with Paddy:(.

Scarlett.
23-05-2010, 12:36 AM
Chas and Carl were good first time round, this time...meh xD

bbfan1991
23-05-2010, 12:39 AM

It's probably the case of too many storylines and forgetting certain things;).

Smithy

Yea, I thought it looked like Trev.

Theres something dangling from his jacket, which looked the leather thing.
I think it would be a bit of a cop out tbh killing him off, he hasn't been here long enough to make that much of an impact

Scarlett.
24-05-2010, 06:27 PM

Which This Morning?
As in this mornings This Morning, because I watched it this morning and it wasn't mentioned

26-05-2010, 06:24 PM
I'm not really sure what I expected when I boarded the train for the screening this morning - all I knew was that I was going to watch some of the most expensive Coronation Street episodes ever made.

Despite turning up ten minutes late with the editors of DS sister publications Inside Soap and All About Soap - I blame Steve, by the way - the new set of credits were played as the montage transitioned into the Friday eps. I wasn't sure how different they'd be but knew for definite they'd include some chimney pots, a cat and various shots of the Street.

The new titles begin on the streets of Manchester and slowly draw onto Coronation Street with the standard chimneys and a ginger cat. Not only that, flapping pigeons have been added, along with someone (any guesses?) in their back garden hanging the washing out. Essentially, there's a lot more movement. Oh, and the theme tune's had a revamp - it's now apparently a lot closer to the original mix. Both credits and theme, however, will take a little getting used to.

> Watch 'Coronation Street's new title sequence

After a montage of scenes from the five episodes, we were treated to the two full episodes from Friday's finale - and they didn't disappoint.

For me, the most worrying aspect was that producers would equate the 9pm timeslot with more violence, swearing and anything else they could get away with. But they didn't. The classic Corrie formula oozes throughout. Funny, character-driven scripts and fab acting from all concerned.

It has to be said, though, that the factory explosion at the end of the week isn't quite comparable to the spectacular Mad May Wright house blast in EastEnders a few years ago, but it's certainly the best Corrie's produced.

Talent-wise, Gray O'Brien was back on top form with his portrayal of even-more-unhinged-than-before-he-was-locked-away pshyco Tony Gordon, who's managed to escape from prison with the aid of his eccentric former cellmate Robbie Sloan - played by James Fleet. Tony has some cracking lines in the lead up to the fire but it's only when he begins reciting The Lord's prayer over and over that you realise he has a permanent screw loose.

Meanwhile, James Fleet brings a Roy Cropper-esque performance to the table as Robbie and it's a pleasant break from the 'norm' - the story certainly called for something a little different than we're used to. And Robbie's unmistakably 'different'. He's about as peculiar as Roy, just without the criminal record and violent tendencies. Check back in the coming days for a video interview with the former Vicar Of Dibley star.

Despite being tied to the chair for most of the week, Alison King stole the show as strong-minded businesswoman Carla Connor. Stepping up to the plate for the most physically and mentally demanding takes she's ever done, her scenes demonstrated why I think she should have a meatier role at the centre of the soap. Not like she needed to prove anything, though - she's always been excellent as Carla. But please - if you're reading Mr Producer - let's explore her backstory via her brother Darren. Let's see 'the other side' of the Mrs Connor we all know and love.

> Click here to read my recent interview with Alison King

And finally, special mentions must go to Julie Hesmondhalgh, David Neilson and Katherine Kelly for their stints as Hayley, Roy and Becky. Cracking as always.

So in all, it's a week of Corrie not to be missed - and a strong way to kick off its 50th anniversary build-up. And I'm told there's a lot more to come.

Big thanks to Chris Allen for filming the interviews. Check back in over the coming days to see the fruits of our time with the cast.

Teasing her character's fate, Hesmondhalgh added: "[Hayley] doesn't make it to the end, that's all I'll say. Whether that's because she escapes, is rescued or is murdered by one of the many psychopaths who are running around Weatherfield at this particular time... I can't reveal - but yes, she's not there to the bitter end."

So is she dead or alive when she gets thrown out of the factory?

And it cannot be Maria who dies:

'Coronation Street' star Samia Smith has said that she found it "upsetting" when she read reports which suggested that her character was about to be axed from the show.

According to the Daily Star, the actress, who plays Maria Conor in the show, said: "If anyone read that they were going to be axed they'd find it upsetting."

"Being off on maternity leave made it even worse, as I was completely out of the loop."

"I put a call in to work and asked what was going on and they reassured me that the rumours were not true."

"Whenever a new producer [Phil Collinson] comes in, my name always seems to be on the list of possible characters that is going to be axed. It's really quite upsetting."

"I was gearing myself up to return for the special episodes and suddenly it was like my whole world was collapsing."

"It really stressed me out. I was always going to return after having Freya and had organised for Matthew's mum to look after her while I worked. Fortunately, the rumours about me weren't true."

but it might be soon ;)

Smithy

you'd have thought If trevor would have died, then Janice wouldn't just be sat in the pub sipping a pint. I'm pretty sure now that the only people who die are Robbie and Tony :(

Scarlett.
01-06-2010, 11:35 AM
The spoilers for Monday say

Tony’s victims smoulder in the aftermath. As the street reels in the wake of last night’s horror two body bags are carried out of Underworld. Taking in the factory’s charred remains Nick contemplates his future.

Coronation Street's first high-definition broadcast proved an instant hit with viewers, attracting more than 500,000 viewers to the ITV1 HD channel last night, Monday 31 May.

The ITV1 soap's first ever 9pm outing attracted 9.655 million viewers and a 38.2% share on the main network, with a further 509,000 (2.1%) on digital channel ITV1 HD.

This topped the previous ratings high for ITV1 HD, 459,000 (2%) for live coverage of last Monday's England friendly against Mexico.

Last night's double helping of Britain's Got Talent either side of Coronation Street brought two higher audiences to ITV1 HD, with 559,000 viewers (2.2%) for the 7.30pm outing and 574,000 (2.3%) for the 9.30pm results show.

On ITV1, the first Britain's Got Talent semi-final drew 10.153 million viewers (40.9%) from 7.30pm and 9.746 million (38%) for the 9.30pm edition.

All three shows more than doubled the average audience share in their ITV1 HD slot – and the 7.30pm to 9pm period last night was nearly four times the average.

Up to last night, Coronation Street and Britain's Got Talent have been simulcast on ITV1 HD, which launched in early April, even though they were not being filmed in that format.

Earlier in the evening, the final Coronation Street pre-HD broadcast drew 297,000 viewers (1.4%) on ITV1 HD and 7.464 million (36.6%) on ITV1.

ITV has timed the HD launch of two of its biggest shows with a five-day scheduling blitz, sticking Coronation Street in a 9pm sandwich between the Britain's Got Talent live semi-finals and results shows every night until Friday.

The broadcaster is also promising the most expensive episodes of Coronation Street in the soap's near 50-year history, beginning with Tony Gordon's prison break last night and the start of Gail McIntyre's trial.

Wonder what the new trailer will show?

Lewis.
01-06-2010, 09:56 PM
I don't know - Hopefully it will give some idea as to how things are going to go down :D

Smithy
01-06-2010, 09:56 PM
I think it may focus more on the trial, but i hope not :(

And obviously Maria returning :D

Scarlett.
01-06-2010, 09:59 PM
I bet it ends with a gunshot at least xD

Smithy
01-06-2010, 09:59 PM
or a scream :S

Scarlett.
01-06-2010, 10:02 PM
Nah, deffo a gunshot xD

Smithy
01-06-2010, 10:03 PM
Maybe a gunshot then a scream, but it's all black, so you don't see any of it

Scarlett.
01-06-2010, 10:03 PM
Probably :D

Smithy
01-06-2010, 11:05 PM

Carla definetly doesn't die because in Inside Soap it says that Nick is beginning to tire of her after the fire;).

Nick after Leanne again:shocked:, she can't leave Peter they are so well matched.

Smithy
01-06-2010, 11:29 PM
BB i think you put the wrong part of that in a spoiler :laugh2:

Scarlett.
04-06-2010, 05:54 PM
looks like only Tony and Robbie die then

Smithy
04-06-2010, 06:47 PM
Thats what Ive been thinking for a while :(

Scarlett.
04-06-2010, 07:23 PM
Meh, I'm not too bothered now, I just wanna see Underworld go BOOM xD

Smithy
07-06-2010, 11:22 AM
New Trailers :D

07-06-2010, 03:30 PM
Oh my god :shocked:

Scarlett.
07-06-2010, 04:42 PM
Is that... :shocked:

Lewis.
07-06-2010, 06:01 PM
Is that... :shocked:

CARLA :shocked:

Cannot wait for tonight's episode. I have a feeling that Corrie have been naughty and have been playing us with "Fake" Promo pics and "Fake" stories.. to add to the surprise.

Scarlett.
07-06-2010, 06:04 PM
They may well have been :shocked:

Not to mention her not being featured in the official press PI)

Smithy
07-06-2010, 06:05 PM
I hope she's just injured and not actually dead D; because you see loads of pics with her and tony fighting in a flaming underworld and when she shoots the gun, it looks like shes leaning to the left nursing a wound

Lewis.
07-06-2010, 06:06 PM
Hmm - it's all very secretive. I think Hayley is a definite survivor - Not sure about any of the others though?

Scarlett.
07-06-2010, 06:07 PM
I dont know who dies anymore xD :shocked:

Lewis.
07-06-2010, 06:08 PM
Ahhhh.. I'm so excited for this now. And I wonder what's going to happen to Gail?

Scarlett.
07-06-2010, 06:09 PM
I think she goes down myself xD

Smithy
07-06-2010, 06:11 PM
I thought that too, but idk it's all so confusing, I think if someone dies, i'll be thinking i knew they were gonna die, and if gail gets found guilty or innocent I'll be thinking, i knew that was gonna happen, even though I don't D:

Lewis.
07-06-2010, 06:11 PM
D'ya reckon. I think she's stays. There's been no mention to her leaving the soap before.. but I suppose they are all just trying to keep it a closely guarded secret.

Lewis.
07-06-2010, 06:12 PM
Yeah it's a bit like that Smithy. It's all in the hands of the corrie bosses. I hope this week (Well.. fortnight) wins an award at the soap awards because it deserves it.

Scarlett.
07-06-2010, 06:13 PM
There has been no mention of upcoming stories for her D:

Smithy
07-06-2010, 06:15 PM
But there hasn't for other characters, maybe after it she goes and stays with Sarah as she planned to before she was arrested

Scarlett.
07-06-2010, 06:16 PM
I like not knowing things xD
