Coronation Street - Better Call Barlow

[Marsh.]

Tbh, I don't see it as the end of Underworld. I see it as the start of Kate Oates paving the way for Carla to come back and save the day. :rolleyes:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i’m rosie wanting eva to jump and kill herself purely for the drama

[Josy]

Id imagine underworld has insurance

[Scarlett.]

Id imagine underworld has insurance

They used the key to get in, no sign of forced entry. Also the insurance company would notice that their clients have been jumping ship lately and would likely thing it is an insurance scam.

That's why they showed Eva handing over the key lol, Adam's mates could have easily broke the door open, given they tore the roof down, it was important that they had the key :laugh:

Autumn trailer. Looks quite good!

[Scarlett.]

Looks like there is quite a bit coming up!

[BBUK-Fan]

Judging by the end of the trailer

The shots of Gary, Nicola, Anna, Andy and whoever else was there could show they are suspects in maybe a whodunnit, Who killed Phelan? Who attacked Phelan? Them people that had the last shots before Phelan are all connected to him and I am pretty certain there will be a whodunnit for him

[Rob!]

It would make perfect sense but would they do that so soon after Ken?

[Vanessa]

Finally Daniel is going to have good scenes coming up yay?! Daniel vs Pat :clap1:

[Rob!]

I love Daniel :flutter:

I want him to become gay tbh. I don't think it's too much to ask for. Him and Todd together omg.

[BBUK-Fan]

The Ken one wasn't amazing, let's be honest. This would actually work better

Nah, I reckon Phelan will have a big part in Anna's exit before one of his own.

Unless Anna kills him and is sent down for it?

[Rob!]

As watchable as Corrie is at the moment, I'm not understanding all the insane Twitter love saying that's it's on top of it's game and is really strong atm. Like, I think the 2010-2011 era was stronger.

[Rob!]

Mind you, compared to the mess that is Eastenders atm I guess it's Oscar worthy.

It's the strongest it been since then though. Wednesday's Eps were pretty great, felt like classic Corrie, they felt like a mix of light heartedness and heavy storylines. I think last night's ep cemented the fact that Rita is leaving, felt very much like a celebration of Rita.

Also, looks like the factory is going to become the go to place for dodgy stuff now its closed down :joker:

It's been blown up twice, had two (or was it just the one?) bodies buried in it's foundations and had more scandal than the Rovers. I doubt that's anything new :laugh:

Corrie only tackle it now when the other soaps have alll already done it.

[Rob!]

http://metro.co.uk/2017/09/22/spoilers-coronation-street-to-tackle-hiv-as-a-main-character-is-diagnosed-6949638/

This could be quite good actually. The actor is good enough tbh

[Marsh.]

So, are they going to say it was passed down from his parents or is he on drugs and using dirty needles?

[Rob!]

Depends on how dark they’re going with this abusive stepfather of his I suppose. Considering not 6 months ago it was implied that Bethany was gang raped, anything is possible I guess. I’m all for it. Corrie should be gritty sometimes. It may be the funny soap but it’s not a sitcom and neither should it be treated like one.

[Marsh.]

Omg I didn't mean he was raped (I haven't seen any of the abuse plot, have they introduced his family then?) I just meant if his mum had it when he was conceived he'd have been born with it most likely.

[Rob!]

We’ve met his two young siblings who look about 5. We’ve been told his mum is a drunk and his stepdad is abusive and that’s about it.

[Marsh.]

The thing that would put me off watching that story would be Faye. Such an annoying girl.

[Rob!]

Urgh I know. I imagine it's too much to ask that Anna takes her with her. No doubt when Anna leaves, she'll end up living with Gary and Izzy Whizzy. Even after everything that Anna has done out of dedication to her.

[Marsh.]

Izzy Whizzy

:laugh2:

[Denver]

Anna is obviously dying

[Cherie]

Mary v Colin should be good

[Marsh.]

Just watched the Autumn trailer.

I don't think the show is at its best and some of the writing is still terrible but it's fair to say Kate Oates has given it the shot in the arm it desperately needed.

And a variety of plots for a wide range of characters so you don't get bored with the same characters in the same stories every episode.

The BBC is in desperate need of someone like her to fix EastEnders.
And not just paper over the cracks with some big stories but do what she's done which is spend the best part of the last 18 months - 2 years repairing the show.

[Rob!]

Cackling at Leanne running from Will

Michelle is awful at everything. kill the basic off

Robert to be diagnosed with testicular cancer

[BBUK-Fan]

Too many health storylines:
Johnny's multiple sclerosis
Rita's brain tumour
Seb's HIV
Robert's testicular cancer

Getting very repetitive with all the health based stories

[Marsh.]

Are Robert's other plots over with already? Bit random.

[Rob!]

I do despise Gary so very much

[Josy]

What is the job that Gary's doing that's causing all the bruises?

[Denver]

Gary is being killed off screen

[Rob!]

Just caught up since Monday. Really good episodes :clap1:

It was quite right for them to send Nathan down but it's almost a shame he's out of the show. Great villain and actor.

[Scarlett.]

Executive Producer, Kieran Roberts is leaving after 11 years of being executive producer, he was also the Producer from 2002-2004.
http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/coronation-street/news/a840361/coronation-street-executive-producer-kieran-roberts-leaving/

Could be some big changes ahead, given that Kieran has been the head (more so than the producers) of Corrie for so long.

[Marsh.]

Good. It's probably him dragged it into a rut.

[Marsh.]

Gary is being killed off screen

He's clearly not.

[Scarlett.]

To be honest, I've kinda thought the same thing, the show has kind of not really evolved much over the last decade, it felt like certain things became too sacred to change (for example, when the Kabin was renamed Norris' News, they changed it back straight away, because, heavens forbid something actually changes in the Street, lol.

[Denver]

They are killing katyoff screen

[Marsh.]

Thank

Somebody please post here once Pat Phelan is out of Corrie.
I don't watch it every episode but have decided,while he is on it,not to watch this,even for a soap,far fetched nonsense of his ridiculous endless,(seemingly),storylines.
Now he can even move freely about a care home and it appears hide a resident.

Stupid and ridiculous,I really have lost all patience with it now.
Just stupid now.

[Scarlett.]

I actually like the Phelan storyline, its ridiculous, but its fun to watch if you just accept it for what it is (like the Stape storyline)

[hijaxers]

I'm apprehensive of her return, mostly because of her character being over used in recent years, they need to do something new with her, and keep her away from Peter.

I can't wait for queen Carla to return :love:

[Rob!]

Seen a report online that says the reason for Craig's weird behaviour in yesterday's episode was because He's got OCD. Not being able to leave the house unless the clock is on an even number, hence why he was staring at the clock yesterday. It would also explain why he went so mad in court at Bethany's trial when the defence barrister was implying he couldn't tell the time.

Wonder if they're introducing his mentor and such ahead of the police station being added?

I think Phelan or Vinny will die tonight

[Rob!]

I'm pretty sure someone is dying tonight. There's a few reports knocking about saying it's quite dark.

[Marsh.]

:omgno:

[Marsh.]

Can somebody please explain why Coronation Street is more like EastEnders than EastEnders has been for about 10 years?

[Rob!]

It's like that era where Toyah got raped and the Harris family were all gotten rid of in various unpleasant ways all over again :flutter:

Meanwhile, over on EE, Max's revenge continues as James Wilmott-Brown's daughter threatens to force the Carter's to start selling Paprika crisps.

What the heck happened to stories about Betty's hotpot?

[Rob!]

I'm honestly cackling at how mental this story is. I don't think Nicola is surviving tonight tbh.

[Marsh.]

Andy Carver, did nothing but wait tables for two years and then FINALLY gets a storyline after being killed off. :joker:

[Wizard.]

Watch him worm himself out of this one

[Wizard.]

His times got to be up come Christmas

[Rob!]

That was ****ing brilliant. I am SHOOK. I don't think I've ever been quite so shocked by Corrie.

[Vanessa]

That was brilliant. I love Pat Phelean! He's so entertaining :clap1:

[Marsh.]

Who died then?

[smudgie]

Murder before the watershed:nono::shrug:


:bawling::bawling: not bothered about Viinny, but poor Andy.:bawling:

[Marsh.]

Mess. Did he kill them both?

Did anyone even discover Andy? Poor sod, nobody cares that he's dead.

[Rob!]

Who died then?

Fooking watch it!!!

[Scarlett.]

That was definately worth that build up, Phelan has got to be the vilest villain yet.

[BBUK-Fan]

Bringing back Andy just to kill him off was pretty dumb. We didn't see him die though so...

[LukeB]

Andy died? well that was predicable

[Wizard.]

Bringing back Andy just to kill him off was pretty dumb. We didn't see him die though so...

Well he couldn’t really go back to waitering could he? He was brought back to serve the Phelan storyline and that’s what he’s done although I’m glad the kidnapping bit is over I’m now looking forward to Anna Windass’s iconic death scene where she is pushed into the boiling chip fat at Roye’s Rolls.

[Scarlett.]

I did hope Andy would survive, I guess the point was, he doesn't, Phelan isn't the kind of man to leave loose ends, and now he can kill.

[Matthew.]

The one time I go out, this happens :fist:

On another note, go Nicola, disowning Phelan and for the way she says Anna Windass. (Anna Win-diss) Like how we say windows in Glasgow

[Marsh.]

Can somebody explain why Phelan went to the trouble of keeping hold of Andy for 9 months, and then killing both Vinnie and him?

It's like being scared of getting arrested for nicking sweets so shooting the shopkeeper to shut them up. Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.

But then this is the show where Tina McIntyre's exit storyline revolved around being brutally murdered over a stolen hairdryer.

[Rob!]

I'm not especially praising the Phelan plot, it's been a load of dragged out nonsense in the way that the John Stape stuff was, but I couldn't fault how everything appeared on screen tonight.

[Ant.]

I only started watching Corrie seriously around May because the Bethany storyline looked like good TV and I've been sorta hooked since and I wanna FUME.

I'm sorta conflicted about Andy's death? On one hand, it just made sense. Pat was having a **** day already so it's no surprise he took desperate measures, and you can see he was visibly shaken by it - clearly he didn't want to do it. At the same time, it's just a bit boring imo. I don't know what resolve I was expecting but a part of me was just hoping Andy would get a happy ending.
Just annoys me how Pat is put in scenarios where he could die then doesn't, eg when he was attacked in his own home, Andy saving him by warning him about Vinny, and then Andy having the gun pointed at him and not shooting. I guess I can see why he didn't since he seemed to have a bit of Stockholm syndrome given how he's defended Pat (although I just figured that was just to get on Pat's good side :worry: ) but Andy had already killed a man, so it's not as if he would've had this moral dilemma with "I can't kill a man!!"

Meh, I'm rambling. Long-term, I'll probably be glad this death happened. Making Phelan let Andy go would probably make me like him despite how ****ed up he is, and while it's nice to have a complex villain with different layers, I'd rather not feel sympathy and think "naww he's got some niceness inside him :love: " for a rapist. Plus, it'll make Phelan's death all the more satisfying :devil:

[Brillopad]

Seriously disappointed in the writers/producers for killing off Andy. The character deserved better than that. I put up with the continuing saga of Phelan that just dragged on and on and on .... only in the hope Andy would get a much deserved happy ending. I have lost any interest I ever had in the Phelan borefest now. They have spoilt it big time.

I didn't watch it.
I've no intention of putting Corrie on while the ridiculous Phelan storylines continue.

From what's been said,I guess he has for the present got away with even more stupid incidents.

Totally stupid and utter nonsense now,even for a soap.
I could almost believe the current producers want to try to kill Corrie off.
Hopeless.

[Drew.]

It's a shame what Corrie has turned into. I knew from the start when Kate Oates joined it'd decline and turn into a violence driven farce which is part of the reason i stopped watching. She did the same thing with Emmerdale and it became awful. She makes it so you can put together a great 30 second montage of everything thats happened but it doesn't paint the full picture of how bad it is over the years. Not to mention how she does her best to destroy the history of the show & characters for a quick dramatic storyline.

[Marsh.]

I liked her stint at Emmerdale mostly.

Until her last year when it got daft. Brought Robert back turn him gay, kill Katie, kill Val, helicopter crash etc.

Her first year or two was great though.

[Drew.]

Think the only storyline of hers i really enjoyed was the Cameron one in 2013. There were so many bad storylines during her time there though, more or less every week there was some kind of violence going on in ED whether it was robbery's, someone being shot, fights etc.. she was responsible for some horrible casting as well, she left the show in a pretty bad state.

Corrie was always more toned down and always seemed more realistic than ED when Kate was there. It was easier to become invested in the characters because they weren't having personality changes every episodes and they weren't coming and going every week like they were in ED, even as a casual viewer now the difference in how Corrie was before she arrived to now is massive.

[LukeB]

I've always preferred Emmerdale to Corrie as Emmerdale has been great compared to Corrie, I thought Kate would save Corrie because it's been dull for years but it's still the same and i agree with the violence stuff, it turned more violent after Kate took over like a vicar punching Peter :joker: which made Pat killing Andy obvious because Kate was not going to let Pat set Andy free and keep him alive, Andy's death was coming sooner or later.

[Rob!]

Tbf though, Andy had absolutely no reason to return to the street, he had nobody there. Steph's gone, Michael's dead. There were no characters linked to him.

[Rob!]

Cackling at Anna. She's so ridiculous.

[Scarlett.]

The whole Phelan telling Seb about Anna thing was a little odd, lol.

Well they have lost my interest in the Phelan plot line. Only interested because I wanted to see Andy free and to see how he got out of there - but have had that taken away from me. They can stick their long-drawn out Phelan borefest. They have completely killed it for me.

[Rob!]

This Kate and Rana story has been so rushed. There's been literally zero build up to it. It could have been a fairly decent plot about a Muslim woman struggling with her sexuality but it's like we're watching the highlights of a story.

[Marsh.]

Is it what I thought, just an excuse to get two hot women lezzing off?

[Denver]

Fiz next? :fc:

[Amy Jade]

Luke was the only hot guy on the show besides Adam couldn't Flan have killed Kym Marsh or that downs syndrome guy from the cafe?

[Rob!]

Daniel is the hottest in the show imo

[Amy Jade]

Annoying face and terrible hair :nono:

Why bring his sister back if he is dead

[Amy Jade]

Why bring his sister back if he is dead

Well Luke is either going to be found dead or announced missing, I think it's realistic his sister would come back to attend the funeral or help search for him.

Plus Steph was so underrated as a character, she was very likeable and Tisha was a great actress - I am excited to see her back, I hope she takes down Phelan

[joeysteele]

Just look in on this thread when it appears on the board.
Hoping to read the overdone,even moreso and even for a soap ridiculous storylines involving Phelan are at last finished.

I honestly cannot bear to even tune into Corrie while his character is still in it and his totally farcical way over the top of acceptability storylines.

Clearly from recent posts,he's still there unbelievably.

[Nancy.]

Phelan to kill all the deadwood? :clap1:

Yet Sean and Chesney still remain. Shocking how these two have lasted 14+ years while better characters are being bumped off left, right and center, but then that's Corrie all over - loyal to it's sh!tty actors and friends at the expense of others.

[smudgie]

I am clutching my at straws and hoping the explosion threw him clear and a dog walker finds him unconscious.
We can but dream.:hehe:

[Scarlett.]

Was super surprised the killed Luke off, had no idea he was leaving, he even seemed to be in the middle of another storyline.

[Brillopad]

Nope, deffo Kidney failure.
She will be on the lookout for a matching kidney I reckon.
No mention of dialysis yet though.:shrug:
Nearly needing dialysis isn't that ruddy life threatening, sounds like she is still stage 3.

Generally stage 5 with a GFR of 10 or less is when dialysis is required.

[Brillopad]

Why bring his sister back if he is dead

Why bring Andy back just to kill him. Corrie are milking this storyline for all they are worth. I thought it was all going to come to head over Christmas but no it is still dragging on. Writers must be running out of storylines.

[Marsh.]

Why bring his sister back if he is dead

Yeah, why on earth would Steph come back when Luke goes missing/is found dead.

:rolleyes:

She was announced to come back for a "stint". She's not back for good.

[Marsh.]

Was super surprised the killed Luke off, had no idea he was leaving, he even seemed to be in the middle of another storyline.

It's probably this other storyline that will allow Phelan to get away with it AGAIN.

The racists will be framed.

[smudgie]

Generally stage 5 with a GFR of 10 or less is when dialysis is required.

Must depend on your nephrologist.
GFR of 15-30 stage 4 can need dialysis, or maybe it depends on the other complications that go with it.:shrug:
Some Stage 4 should even consider the thoughts of a transplant in the near future.
Not quite there yet, thank goodness.

[Redway]

Anyone else find it sick that they used an issue as serious as racism as nothing more than a plot device?

[Redway]

I actually think I preferred Blackburn’s era.

[Brillopad]

Anyone else find it sick that they used an issue as serious as racism as nothing more than a plot device?

No. Mass murder trumps racism.

[BBUK-Fan]

Why bring Andy back just to kill him. Corrie are milking this storyline for all they are worth. I thought it was all going to come to head over Christmas but no it is still dragging on. Writers must be running out of storylines.

You do know Corrie drags their storylines out for a minimum of 5 months but mainly to a year

[Marsh.]

No. Mass murder trumps racism.
It's not a competition.

Both stories are absurd.

[Rob!]

The racist story was absolutely awful. Written appallingly, the execution was clumsy and it didn't feel in the slightest bit real. As if two buisnessmen would get anywhere in their careers going around saying things like that to people. Plus, are we supposed to believe that Matthew never said anything to them about their apparent hatred towards people of colour?

[Marsh.]

Remember the racism story with Lloyd?

I can't even remember what was said but I didn't understand it.

[Marsh.]

OH. "stop playing the white man" or something.

[Rob!]

Yeah, "don't play the white man." An expression that hasn't been heard before or since.

[Amy Jade]

Alya was surprisingly decent after the initial terribly written 'not my Luke' line

[Gstar]

Shayne Ward has a video on pornhub of him wanking :laugh:

(what’s even more funny is that I stumbled upon it by accident)

[Denver]

That is years old

[Denver]

Martin Platt is returning for David's storyline

[Denver]

Angela Griffin has also said she wants to return

[Rob!]

I can’t think if there’s any links to Fiona still on the street. Delighted about Martin though.

[Denver]

Steve is the only link i think?

[Marsh.]

Fiona who shagged Jim behind Steve's back?

[Scarlett.]

Glad Martin is returning, even if it is only for a short time.

[Vanessa]

OMG Philean is finally going down :shocked:

[Scarlett.]

About damn time Eileen saw Phelan for what he is.

[Rob!]

I can't remember where I've seen Anna's defense barrister before and it's really getting on my tits.

[Ant.]

Omg he's in one of my favourite Doctor Who stories, that's why! Thank you :love:

[Marsh.]

So Eileen has caught Phelan?

[Cal.]

Me and my mam had a feminism debate with my dad last night because he jokingly called Peter a stud muffin and Michelle, Carla, Leanne and Toyah a bunch of slappers for all shagging him.

[Marsh.]

Tbf, Leanne and Carla both married him and Toyah is in a longterm relationship with him.

Michelle, on the other hand, your dad has her bang to rights. SLAG!

[Ant.]

late reply but you're welcome :love:

[Amy Jade]

Why are they trying to ruin Bethanny she is unbearable now

[Rob!]

CACKLING at that mess of a trial and Phelan being allowed to lear over at Anna and mock her when she was being dragged away screeching.

[Marsh.]

That last shot. :skull: "Don't put your blame on me!" :laugh2:

[Marsh.]

It's funny. She's kind of dragged the outdated Corrie kicking and screaming into 2018 with its production. Just a shame the story is complete sh*te.

Poor Debbie Rush.

[Rob!]

Like what was she even glaring at at the end? :laugh2:

[Marsh.]

Like what was she even glaring at at the end? :laugh2:

The guard on duty "I'm only doin' me job loov, don't be givin' me evils!"

[Marsh.]

God they've done a number on Anna the last few years. I'm sure she never used to be so irritating.

It's hard to feel sympathy for her when she's a screeching banshee ALL THE DAMN TIME.

[Rob!]

Honestly a howl. Like, is that literally the end of her? Even after Phelan gets found out, she’s just going to be left rotting in jail?

[Marsh.]

:joker:

In the twitter video Debbie Rush said "Anna's final ever scene". :skull:

[Marsh.]

It's stupid though, how could she have pushed him from the window when the roof of the downstairs bay window is between the ladder and the upstairs window? :joker:

[Rob!]

I honestly cannot at the producers looking at the conclusion to that story and the final shots of the episode (especially Seb randomly walking through the streets and glancing shiftily at the camera for no reason) and thought “Well, THAT has NTA written all over it!”

[Marsh.]

Phelan cackling at some Alan Carr re-reuns. :worry:

[Rob!]

Also the bouncers beating up Gary was ridiculous. I know thug like bouncers like that exist but would they honestly do it right in the middle of the club with cameras and a whole bar full of witnesses? This is Corrie’s main issue at the minute. The suspension of disbelief just for the sake of a plot

[Marsh.]

Remember when we all thought John Stape's plot was too stupid for words?

[Rob!]

Remember when we all thought John Stape's plot was too stupid for words?

I mean, it was. There's no denying it.

You're right though - Corrie tends to go absolutly mad with these sorts of stories, throwing in every single plot twist they can possibly think of. The Tony Gordon one was the same.

[Marsh.]

I was hooked on the Tony Gordon one not gonna lie. :flutter:

[Rob!]

I was hooked on the Tony Gordon one not gonna lie. :flutter:

It was amazing. Carla was sublime back then and the whole her and Liam relationship was really believable.

[Scarlett.]

Phelan's time must be coming to a end now

[Redway]

Phelan's time must be coming to a end now

They’ll most likely drag it out to BGT week.

[Gstar]

Anna Vs Phelan has been going on since like 2013. Longest dragged out storyline ever

Thank GOD that's out in the open.

Only because you know what's coming up. He looks very ordinary.

It isn't. :oh:

It's not been one storyline since he first appeared. :fist:
