Coronation Street

[Marsh.]

I honestly hate this Rana/Kate bollocks. I've never really believed it because they rushed it so much at the start and the adoration the pairing get on social media honestly baffles me. They feel SO underdeveloped. Rana was only have feelings for Kate for two weeks out of nowhere and now it's turned into this rubbish with her being kidnapped by her parents?

Robron teas

They also have monthly kidnap dramas.

[Rob!]

I dunno, I feel like Robron have at least had development to make the relationship feel somewhat believable, although admittedly I haven't seen huge amounts of Emmerdale to know just how it's been done.

[Marsh.]

At the beginning when they had an affair like Kate/Rana it was the same. No development, just a couple of random shags suddenly became "true love" then once Robert killed Katie it turned into a life of crime constantly keeping them together and some sick and twisted "I only do the things I do for you" :yuk:

It only seems "developed" now because they've been dragging it on for nearly 4 years.

[Rob!]

Didn't they have like a two hander at Christmas or something?

[Amy Jade]

I think they should have handled Rana being gay without Katie somehow.

The actress who plays Rana is very talented and the one who plays Kate's best performance was the leaked vid of her sucking off Gareth Gates.

[Scarlett.]

I don't like the character of Kate very much either, very selfish

[Rob!]

[Scarlett.]

He doesn't sound bitter at all, lol

[Marsh.]

Aiden's exit story confirmed.

Suicide.

Yikes.

[Ant.]

Aiden's exit story confirmed.

Suicide.

Yikes.

I thought it was a fake page that shared it at first :omgno:

It could be seen coming but :bawling:

[Rob!]

Wow. Bravo Corrie I say. It’s a story that needs telling, now more than ever.

[Rob!]

Apparently next Wednesday's episode is an hour long. I don't think they've done an hour long episode like that in years (minus live episodes and Christmas)

[Ross.]

But he said he feels he was “butchered” by Kate Oates, who had recently replaced Stuart.

Marc said she sacked him with the words: “Don’t bother coming in on Monday.”


:joker:

That part about Georgia May Foote is probably true since they’ve killed her off now

[LaLaLand]

Aiden's exit story confirmed.

Suicide.

Yikes.

:shocked:

[Ross.]

Suicide.

Yikes.

:o

A really brave story to do on the show, I really hope it’s done well

[Ross.]

What has Aidan’s struggle with mental health been like so far? I haven’t really been keeping up with what’s going on recently

[Rob!]

Wow. With this now in mind, this fairly innocent scene from a couple of weeks ago takes on a whole different meaning :(
RJnB0Lsqaws

[Marsh.]

This whole thing with the letter he intercepted after hearing Carla was ill is something casual viewers won't pick up on or remember.

[Marsh.]

What has Aidan’s struggle with mental health been like so far? I haven’t really been keeping up with what’s going on recently I think the story they're going with is that it's all been so private his suicide seems to come out of nowhere. It's only after the fact that people think how did we not notice he struggled.

Just a shame they had that period with Maria where he just became a completely unlikable arsehole.

[Rob!]

I'd hardly call myself a casual viewer of Corrie, but not even I remember the letter.

[Scarlett.]

Apparently next Wednesday's episode is an hour long. I don't think they've done an hour long episode like that in years (minus live episodes and Christmas)

Also, I'm hearing it might not have any commercial breaks

[Rob!]

Also, I'm hearing it might not have any commercial breaks

That would be amazing. Urgh, Corrie is untouchable when it really tries. Kate Oates has really been incredible, whatever the poor delicate flowers who want to watch hotpots all week long say.

I agree!

I also am here for it being almost a total surprise, because that's how it happens, sadly. 9 times out of 10 there's nothing anyone could say/do/notice to stop suicide happening. :(

[Vanessa]

Shona finds out that Josh raped David! Get him, Shona! :fist:

[Wizard.]

So when Kate Oats leaves we’re gonna go back to hot pots and Antony Cotton being really annoying? :cry:

[Vanessa]

Its a shame, because its so good at the moment!

[Marsh.]

Also, I'm hearing it might not have any commercial breaksThat would be amazing. Urgh, Corrie is untouchable when it really tries. Kate Oates has really been incredible, whatever the poor delicate flowers who want to watch hotpots all week long say.I think they meant they didn't want the usual half hour gap between two episodes, they're running it as one hour long episode.

I can't see itv agreeing to no commercials.

[Denver]

Dont the have to have ad breaks legally?

[Vanessa]

Shane Ward is on This Morning later. :love:

[Vanessa]

Dont the have to have ad breaks legally?
o
I think they will have ad breaks. But it's one episode. Instead of the two we normally get.

[Matthew.]

This is such a shame because I was starting to like Aidan. I didn’t like him very much before but I like him now. Also, he commits suicide on my birthday?

[Matthew.]

Shayne Ward’s about to appear on This Morning now.

[Vanessa]

This is such a shame because I was starting to like Aidan. I didn’t like him very much before but I like him now. Also, he commits suicide on my birthday?
Agree, it's a shame. :sad:

[Matthew.]

Agree, it's a shame. :sad:

There were times during the affair with Maria where I couldn’t stand him but I actually really like him now after giving Carla a kidney and his little friendship with Summer. So sad, but it’s such a powerfully important storyline

[Vanessa]

There were times during the affair with Maria where I couldn’t stand him but I actually really like him now after giving Carla a kidney and his little friendship with Summer. So sad, but it’s such a powerfully important storyline

At least it makes David realise that he needs to speak up. Can't wait for the 9. Its going to be an amazing episode!

[Amy Jade]

The Maria storyline with him cheating on Eva and then him making himself out the victim when she dumped him at the alter ruined his character but in fairness Kate and the SR have reversed that somewhat I think with him befriending and being kind to Summer even though he knows she has a crush on him, obviously giving Carla a kidney and him standing up for Alya during the race storyline. He's not somebody I will miss to be honest but he's far from detestable like he once was.

Can they kill Simon off next please? That sulky ****ing face on it it driving me mad.

[Vanessa]

Jim Mcdonald is coming back! :dance:

[Vanessa]

Jack Shephard making the shortlist makes me so happy. I'm really enjoying his storyline. Not easy to watch, but brilliantly acted by all involved.

[Wizard.]

Shane Ward's best scene is his wanking on skype

[Rob!]

Shane Ward's best scene is his wanking on skype

Meh.

[Rob!]

What is really clever with the Aidan story is how it links to David's story. Apparently Aidan's suicide pushes David into talking about his rape.

[Vanessa]

Yes, its going to be such a heartbreaking episode :bawling:

[Vanessa]

Apparently Josh will be arrested this summer. But no idea if he actually goes to jail or not. :shocked:

[LukeB]

I was hoping Eva and Aidan to leave together and have some happy ending but ofc Kate wants to do another dark storyline straight after another dark on. I know it could save lives and it’s important etc but happy endings do happen and not everything is dark in real life.

[Rob!]

I’m not having a go here Luke honestly my love.

But if sacrificing a happy ending for two fictional characters helps save lives, which this story undoubtedly will do, I don’t think it can be seen as a bad thing.

[Denver]

Should be glad it stops them bringing him back next year after he decided he made a mistake quitting

[LukeB]

I’m not having a go here Luke honestly my love.

But if sacrificing a happy ending for two fictional characters helps save lives, which this story undoubtedly will do, I don’t think it can be seen as a bad thing.

There’s another guy leaving and Zeedan is also a good choice for suicide but honestly Aiden,Eva and the baby should have left together in the sun set, something different. I’m not asking for much but it would be nice to have something good happen in soaps because life is good and bad not just bad.

[Rob!]

How do you come to the conclusion that any character is “good” for a suicide story? Just because his wife left him to become a lesbian? :joker:

The whole point in it happening to Aidan is that it’s supposed to be a shock. He’s got a successful business of his own, money finally coming in, and a loving family around him. And not one of them know what he’s internally going through. Which is refelective of most suicides.

Because he is also a male and leaving and it would be a shock, any suicide is a shock tbh even if you know what they are going through.

[Niamh.]

I'd just started watching Corrie again when I heard about this new storyline. I think I'll stop again.........

[Rob!]

Why? :unsure:

[LukeB]

I'd just started watching Corrie again when I heard about this new storyline. I think I'll stop again.........

:laugh:

My family said this earlier, the whole serial killer on the loose,david’s rape storyline and this happening at the same time has put them off. They love a soap that as a bit of everything and not too dark and depressing.

[Scarlett.]

The end of tonights episode was so sad :(

[LaLaLand]

Twas sad like but I'm glad Shayne's gone though, rubbish actor. His diction annoyed me.

[Marsh.]

Twas sad like but I'm glad Shayne's gone though, rubbish actor. His diction annoyed me.

THIS.

He sounded like a kid in a school play with every line.

[Marsh.]

I love how Eva has an invisibility cloak that stops people detecting her baby bump.

[Marsh.]

Also, is this the first time they've actually depicted a woman still having her bump after giving birth? Normally they seem to snap back instantly. :joker:

[Wizard.]

This was really good as it struggling at the minute... thanks coronation streee

[Rob!]

That whole scene with Eva and Aidan was so sad. Brilliant episodes.

[Ant.]

The Eva and Aidan scenes were definitions of closure :bawling:
Wednesday's gonna be difficult to stomach. I think knowing Aidan was going to kill himself from the moment the episode started put the entire episode into a different light

[Scarlett.]

I'm glad they revealed what is going to happen, I don't think the episode would have been as impactful if we didn't know it was Aiden's last

[Cherie]

I was surprised Shayne protrayed it so well.

[Amy Jade]

I was surprised Shayne protrayed it so well.

Same. I think the writers portrayed it very well too, the build up has been going on for a while when you look back at some of his actions. I am pleasantly surprised by how well Shayne has handled his role because in all honesty he's never shown much acting prowess

[Marsh.]

I was surprised Shayne protrayed it so well.

I think his acting improves when he doesn't have to speak. :hehe:

he should have stuck to singing because he does that better but i wasn't really impressed with his acting.

[Vanessa]

Get the tissues ready. Tomorrow episode is going to be a tearjerker :bawling:

[LaLaLand]

Holy **** this is heartbreaking

[Amy Jade]

Some seriously good acting tonight especially from Cath Tyldesley

[Rob!]

This is incredible. I am bawling my ****ing eyes out :joker:

[Marsh.]

Who knew Cath Tyldesley had it in ha?

[LukeB]

Who knew Cath Tyldesley had it in ha?

And she's leaving soon isn't she? it's seems messy how they gave her some racist lines and not making her a good actress until now

[LaLaLand]

It's brilliant that they're showing the different perspectives on suicide too.

Like how Beth is saying how selfish it all is, which is what alot of people feel about suicide, it's not all sadness/devastation. Kate too is feeling the same, saying how she hates him for doing it.

[Amy Jade]

Michelle sobbing with perfect make up :umm2: how bad was Maria too sobbing at the bus stop with not a tear falling.

The actor who plays Johnny and Eva were amazing tonight.

[Rob!]

That was phenomenal.

[Marsh.]

Ugh, Maria's always been ****ing dire.

There's a core group of people that drag this show down Michelle/Fiz/Maria/Sean and they seem to be above sacking. You can tell Cotton is not liked and they don't think he's got the talent as he's never given any plots. Yet, they continually employ him. He's either shagging the head of ITV or gets dirt on each and every new EP the show gets.

[LaLaLand]

Agree with all but Michelle, she's good!

Just thinking back over the past so many years and basically Maria's sole purpose has been to be a bit of a slag? :shrug::hehe:

[LukeB]

If Pat shoots Michelle and kills her then that would be iconic! and i would start watching more often.

[Amy Jade]

Michelle was brilliant when she lost her baby but everything before and since she always makes me cringe at how bad she. Kym Marsh seems to only be a capeable actress when drawing from experience which imo makes her a poor actress.

[Cherie]

Great ep apart from Carla, whose completely emotionless performance was totally unbelievable

[Marsh.]

It's all showboating that's why. Hair perfectly styled, make up on point whilst she folds her arms, poses and pouts. All about Kym.

[Marsh.]

Great ep apart from Carla, whose completely emotionless performance was totally unbelievable

Tbf, the woman has killed 5 husbands, lost her mum, lost Hayley to suicide, she's made of steel when it comes to death.

[Wizard.]

Johnny got me right in the feels

[Amy Jade]

Great ep apart from Carla, whose completely emotionless performance was totally unbelievable

I disagree but my mum said that too.

Carla is an Ice Queen, she won't show emotion now because she'll want to be the support but as the funeral draws closer she'll start to grieve I think.

[Wizard.]

Great ep apart from Carla, whose completely emotionless performance was totally unbelievable

What an above poster said, was that everyone’s reaction was different, and sometimes shock makes you just totally emotionless.

[Amy Jade]

What an above poster said, was that everyone’s reaction was different, and sometimes shock makes you just totally emotionless.

Yeah I agree. When my Grandad died I was almost emotionless until the funeral and then it hit me really hard

[LaLaLand]

SOME people react to grief in the way that Carla did, they just go totally almost "robotic" and emotionless, like as if they're in auto-pilot. It usually hits them days/weeks/months later and massively, I know people like this.

[Rob!]

Great ep apart from Carla, whose completely emotionless performance was totally unbelievable

Actually, I thought it was classic Carla. She’s always dealt with her emotions like that, and the last thing she’d ever do when her family needed her would be to be unable to do anything because she was too messy herself.

[Marsh.]

Also Cherie clearly isn't up to date on her spoilers....

Beginning Friday, Carla starts to exhibit strange behaviour which leads to the reveal that, via his transplanted kidney, she is channelling Aiden's spirit.

Over time she comes to accept the possession and going forward will live as Aiden forever. Alison King is very excited to take on this acting challenge and is even growing a beard to show her commitment to the role.

[Ant.]

I personally think the acting across the board was great. Eva and Johnny were AMAZING

It was important they shown the different reactions people had, especially the ignorant exchange between the factory girls

[AnnieK]

Grief is a funny thing and so unique to everyone. Fantastic episode....

[Ant.]

Yeah I agree. When my Grandad died I was almost emotionless until the funeral and then it hit me really hard

:love:

[Marsh.]

Did they disclose how he died? Other than him being found in the bathroom?

[Ant.]

Im glad Beth's "suicide is selfish" bull**** got snapped up but "man up" should've been called out on more. Not like the moment called for it but part of me hopes they take apart that awful phrase and make a point about stereotypes

[LaLaLand]

Did they disclose how he died? Other than him being found in the bathroom?

No I don't think so, however when Johnny went into the bathroom it sounded like he was "lifting" something, which could indicate a hanging but idk.

[LukeB]

I think it was cute how Carla didn't show emotion? everyone has a different way of dealing with this type of stuff and not everyone shows their emotion, some are in denial, some are robotic and some cry. It wouldn't have been realistic if they all had the same emotions.

[Ant.]

Did they disclose how he died? Other than him being found in the bathroom?

On the show? No
I dont think they'll reveal it in an interview either

Ive definitely seen Carla's grieving in the people around me more often than other grieving too. It'll be nice for it to be shown as okay, not heartless

well it wasn't the first time Cherie said something wasn't believable, remember Charity being bisexual isn't believable? when Charity done stuff with females years ago.

[Marsh.]

You didn't read the spoilers, did you? :hehe:

[Amy Jade]

Charity has always been bi, didn't she mess around with Zoe Tate?

[Matthew.]

i actually cried :bawling:

[Matthew.]

also i was shocked that David told Shona tonight

[LukeB]

You didn't read the spoilers, did you? :hehe:

a bit but i was agreeing with you :oh:

Charity has always been bi, didn't she mess around with Zoe Tate?

yeah
CMSPTu87uWw

so i don't really get how charity being bi isn't believable:laugh:

[Vanessa]

Amazing episode tonight, everyone put in great performances. Especially Jack Shephard, he's brilliant! !

[Vanessa]

Loved Gail speech :love:

[Kazanne]

Good episode tonight without showing anything of how he did it,Johnny was excellent,Toyah annoys me as she is telling so many lies and encouraging Eva to do the same,Also glad David has finally told what happened to him,it was an emotional episode.well done Corrie

[Scarlett.]

Corrie was at its best tonight, every moment was really well acted

[Scarlett.]

Also, brilliant choice having the last line of the episode be "I want to live"

[Ant.]

Loved Gail speech :love:

Very poignant. The montage was great as well. I hoped Johnny would get a monologue but now's not the time for him to reflect on the street he's lived on for a few years. In fact, I liked we got a focus on non-family reactions. And it was nice that no one milked it and overstated their relationship with Aidan.

[Marsh.]

and overstated their relationship with Aidan.

This.

Like Alya did with Luke.

[Rob!]

Gail’s speech was a great way of demonstrating the state that around 128 people can be affected by one suicide.

[Alf]

That Toyah Battersby's an ugly thing isn't she? Hasn't she aged?

[Marsh.]

Soz, Johnny Depp.

[LukeB]

i only watched mondays and todays and Toyah annoys me BUT i also feel sorry for her because viewers are OTT with blaming her for Aiden's death and wanting to smack her one with an iron and all that stuff :umm2: she is annoying but she doesn't deserve that lol

[AnnieK]

That Toyah Battersby's an ugly thing isn't she? Hasn't she aged?

I met her one night in town.....I'd just read an article a couple of days before on her and pretty much recited it to her (I had had a drinkie or 2). She ended up giving me her lip gloss, I think as a way to get rid of the creepy pissed stalker :laugh:

[Marsh.]

i only watched mondays and todays and Toyah annoys me BUT i also feel sorry for her because viewers are OTT with blaming her for Aiden's death and wanting to smack her one with an iron and all that stuff :umm2: she is annoying but she doesn't deserve that lol

Well, Toyah has behaved terribly but those viewers would do well to remember that Eva made the decision to give her own baby up, that can't be blamed on Toyah.

[Scarlett.]

i only watched mondays and todays and Toyah annoys me BUT i also feel sorry for her because viewers are OTT with blaming her for Aiden's death and wanting to smack her one with an iron and all that stuff :umm2: she is annoying but she doesn't deserve that lol

I think they've kinda ruined Toyah by making her baby obsessed, she used to be someone totally different, always campaigning for stuff, now she's all settled down and baby obsessed.

[Ant.]

Gail’s speech was a great way of demonstrating the state that around 128 people can be affected by one suicide.

Which was perfect, when people hear the phrase "everyone will miss you" I'm sure they don't understand the gravity of it. I hope there's people who feel alone who watched tonight's episode and gained something from it

[Alf]

Soz, Johnny Depp.I'm right though aren't I?

[Marsh.]

I'm right though aren't I?

I don't think she's ugly, no.

[Alf]

I don't think she's ugly, no.She looks like she needs Ironing.

[Marsh.]

She looks like she needs Ironing.

"40 year old woman looks older than she did as a teenager shocker!"

Take your story to the papers, Alf.

[Scarlett.]

Which was perfect, when people hear the phrase "everyone will miss you" I'm sure they don't understand the gravity of it. I hope there's people who feel alone who watched tonight's episode and gained something from it

Most people don't realize how many lives they touch, and how many lives will be shaken when they're gone, I hope tonight's episodes lead to a surge in people realizing there is always someone there to listen to them.

[Vanessa]

I just hope David tells Imran what josh did. But at the moment he's far too ashamed. :sad:

[Cherie]

well it wasn't the first time Cherie said something wasn't believable, remember Charity being bisexual isn't believable? when Charity done stuff with females years ago.


She still isn’t believable, What she did years ago has nothing to do with it

[Cherie]

Charity has always been bi, didn't she mess around with Zoe Tate?

It doesn’t make her acting believable, there is zero chemistry between them

[Cherie]

Also Cherie clearly isn't up to date on her spoilers....

:joker:

[Amy Jade]

I think people blaming Toyah and Eva are really trivializing suicide (nobody on here more fb) clearly the character had issues much deeper than the baby. He had started to give people meaningful things way before he even knew Eva was pregnant.

Plus Eva was still willing to give him another chance and Maria would have anyone really.

[Scarlett.]

Indeed, the most telling thing is he planned to commit suicide before he found out about Carla's kidney

[Cherie]

I might have missed an ep but how did Aiden know where Eva was, I know he found the address in Toyahs handbag, but how did he know she was in the UK and not in the US..

[Amy Jade]

I might have missed an ep but how did Aiden know where Eva was, I know he found the address in Toyahs handbag, but how did he know she was in the UK and not in the US..

American has zip codes we have post codes would be my guess

I only started watching like a month ago but I bloody love Toyah for some reason lol

[Marsh.]

I might have missed an ep but how did Aiden know where Eva was, I know he found the address in Toyahs handbag, but how did he know she was in the UK and not in the US..

The Cotswolds / Lake District or where the **** she was being distinctly English would be my guess.

[Cherie]

The Cotswolds / Lake District or where the **** she was being distinctly English would be my guess.

what? I'm asking how he knew she wasn't in the States, not part of the glade she was in :laugh:

He found the address, you just said. :laugh: You asked how he knew that address wasn't in the States.

[Ross.]

Just watched the episode and it really was soap at it's best

Great performances by all really, Johnny, Eva and Jenny especially

It was actually Maria's reaction that got me first, personally thought Samia Ghadie was really good there and especially the part when David hugged her set me off

[Ross.]

Gail's monologue was powerful as well

[LaLaLand]

Gail's monologue was powerful as well

That was the most kind of solemn and prominent part for me.

The whole "I wonder when he did it? When I was making a cup of tea? When I was putting the kids to bed?" it's what we all think if someone we know passes away, like their final moments.

Really hit home with me.

He found the address, you just said. :laugh: You asked how he knew that address wasn't in the States.

No I’m asking how he knew Eva was at the address in the UK unless Toyah wrote it down and put Eva lives here underneath it in case she forgot...

Everyone thought Eva was in the US so how did he figure out that she wasn’t

[Marsh.]

No I’m asking how he knew Eva was at the address in the UK unless Toyah wrote it down and put Eva lives here underneath it in case she forgot...

Everyone thought Eva was in the US so how did he figure out that she wasn’tOh I dunno.
I think he'd figured out the cottage being rented was for Eva so then found the address.

God knows how he figured it out.

They act stupid with simple things like Eva's gigantic baby bump but then make these huge discoveries in a second. :joker:

NOT half 7 being a late night shopping trip!

anywho, spoilers:

After David and Shona hook up (not as if David's gotta be at court or anything) David says he didnt get checked for an STI so Shona could have one. Shona knows David and Emma slept together so she goes to Emma and says "get yaself checked out with me! David may have an STI!" and Emma's like "lol no you jealous."
ANyway Emma goes 'home' (David's home) and is in th'kitchen with Sarah and Gail. And Emma's taken it to mean that David's breaking up with her? And Emma says something like "the stars aligned for me and David" (Gail: well horoscopes are usually wrong :skull:) before bursting into tears and saying it feels like she's breaking up with Gail and Sarah because they're like family to ha

[Marsh.]

Sorry, Shona still looks like she's molesting a child snuggling up with David. BAD CASTING and no chemistry whatsoever between them as a couple.

[Scarlett.]

but there's only a 3 year difference between them? lol

[Marsh.]

but there's only a 3 year difference between them? lolI know but she looks like his mum. That's what I mean, bad casting. [emoji23] They don't suit.

[Rob!]

I quite like them. It makes a nice change for David to go for somebody as earthy as Shona as opposed to another gobby mare like Kylie.

[Baby Jane]

Poor Shona hasn't done anything on screen to annoy me (it's more the behind the scenes decisions, of course she's Clayton's Mum AND a victim of Nathan's, because one sinister Platt connection wasn't enough) but I can't invest in David's romantic relationships as I am still holding out for the powercouple that's been in the making since 1990 when they were both born - David and Rosie Webster.

Sally and Gail would be a hoot as the mother in laws. And then there'd be Audrey, in a corner getting sloshed, obviously.

[Vanessa]

David needs to tell Imran about what josh did. I really hope he does.

[Marsh.]

Just watching the Aidan episode.

Who is this ditzy black girl in the Platt house? David's new girlfriend? :unsure:

Kate and Maria are very BIG letdowns in an otherwise good episode.

[Marsh.]

Also, Shona doesn't know about the baby secret, so how does she know Eva's pretending to be in America and isn't wondering why?

[Rob!]

That's Emma. She was an intern that Maria took on at the salon who David swiftly slept with after he dumped Shona.

Also, Shona doesn't know about the baby secret, so how does she know Eva's pretending to be in America and isn't wondering why?

She doesn't know about the whole baby plan with Toyah, but she was the only one who knew that Eva was pregnant, although Shona thinks she had an abortion (I think.)

The whole Eva/Toyah story is absolutely bloody BONKERS.

So, she knows Eva was pregnant, but had an abortion, never noticed her bump along with everyone else but doesn't question why Eva wants to pretend to be in America? :laugh:

[Rob!]

I'm trying to remember. It was ages ago that Shona was involved in the story. I'm almost positive she doesn't know it's Aidan's and that she thought Eva had just gone to have an abortion.

[Marsh.]

I've got to say that Emma is awful.

BUT Audrey's constant exasperation at her stupidity is gold.

Love a bit of Audrey.

[Marsh.]

I'm Audrey's giant handkerchief she wears as a pashmina.

[Rob!]

Audrey is a goddess. I love throughout the high drama and emotion that was the Wednesday episode, Audrey was just fluttering around, bollocking Gail and David for no reason and saying she's too old for this bull**** when a guy has just killed himself :love:

[Marsh.]

Brilliant episode.

Even got a sneaky drone shot of the ambulance speeding down their fancy new street. :laugh:

Just reading the thread on the episode on DS (My god there are some arseholes in this world). But the note Aidan left really disturbed me and then someone on DS pointed out the noise of a dripping tap when Johnny first arrived in the flat acting like everything was normal. I didn't notice it on my first watch. :worry:

[Rob!]

Not Summer inventing the Samaritans :clap1:

Wasn’t it incredible? Even Maria got me crying tbh. The whole thing was just charged with so much emotion. It felt like the sort of charge they normally have in live episodes.

[Vanessa]

Detective Shona is on the case! :pipe2:

[Marsh.]

I'm sorry, I have to draw the line here I'm afraid. :nono:

Samia Ghadie was AWFUL. Her screaming kind of spoiled the flow of the episode for me.

[Rob!]

WRONG!

I mean, I can see what you mean, but she worked for me. I didn’t think there was a duff performance all the way through. I guess it’s all subjective.

[Vanessa]

Dec is so cute! He can stay! :love:

[Marsh.]

WRONG!

I mean, I can see what you mean, but she worked for me. I didn’t think there was a duff performance all the way through. I guess it’s all subjective.

I just find her so damn wooden and unconvincing. :worry:

When she was sat like she was busting for a poo on the bus stop bench. I just don't believe her. :think:

[Vanessa]

The three old biddies :joker:

[Amy Jade]

I agree she was horrific. When she broke down at the bus stop it was almost comical and later when she told Liam the painted on mascara made me roll my eyes. Kate was bad but at least her body language was good. Maria is one of the worst actors in soaps.

[Kazanne]

I'm sorry, I have to draw the line here I'm afraid. :nono:

Yes,she was awful,spoilt it for me too

[Rob!]

Flora is a scream

[Vanessa]

I like Jack Shepard, i think he's brilliant. I'm really enjoying his storyline, it's so well acted by all involved. Can't wait to see how it ends.

[Marsh.]

The set looks ****ing huge now.

[Rob!]

When will Albert Square?

[Marsh.]

And they're closing George Street so it's going to look tiny soon. :worry:

[Vanessa]

Phelean is back soon :amazed:

[Redway]

Johnny’s so flipping irritating.

[Rob!]

I howled at Rita vs the inflatable man

[Marsh.]

I howled at Rita vs the inflatable man

Omg, me too. :joker:

[Rob!]

I need the bit where she was trying to get it out the window as a gif :laugh2:

[Marsh.]

Why does Adam's office have FAWN written everywhere?

[Scarlett.]

Why does Adam's office have FAWN written everywhere?

It's for the Free Anna Windass Now campaign lol

Flora and her mates best become regulars

[Rob!]

Honestly, with the right development, those three could easily become classic characters together.

[Cherie]

Doesn’t Flora have Alzheimer’s and where did the other two come out of :shrug:

[Marsh.]

Who is Flora?

[Marsh.]

Omg, Flora is Moanie Joanie from EastEnders. :joker:

[Rob!]

Who is Flora?

So, she's Vinnie's Mum (she knows him by another name I think, icr why. Something to do with his wheelings and dealings to the point where even she's confused.)
Phelan was basiclaly using her as a means to get Vinnie to come and see him and Daniel found out about it, so now he feels all responsible.

Daniel knows Vinnie is dead?

[Amy Jade]

They found Vinnie and Andy's bodys didn't they?

[Rob!]

Daniel knows Vinnie is dead?

Well, all the street does since he and Andy's bodies were found in that concrete column Phelan buried them in.
It was last year all this was happening I think so I'm stuggling to remember the ins and outs. It was when Daniel was going through his "I'm a reporter" phase and he shagged Felix from Waking The Dead.

[Cal.]

I bet Nick takes over the knicker factory when he returns and goes straight back to either shagging Carla or Leanne. Or maybe they'll push the boat out and he'll be Michelle's bit on the side!

[Marsh.]

Him to push the boat out and get stuck in quicksand again?

[Cherie]

I’m losing the will to live with Corrie first we have super sleuth Aiden tracking down Eva even though her sister Leanne and Peter thought she was in the USA, now we have two old dears appear out of nowhere with no explanation, at least we have a bit of a backstory with Flora

[Scarlett.]

I don't get why its so insane to imagine that Flora has friends, lol

[Marsh.]

:joker: @ her voice p/Bi3lfdLlSVD

[Marsh.]

Those stairs are going the wrong way, they go outside passed the back door.

You did this with the Vic. GET A LIFE.

No. :hmph:

[Marsh.]

"Ah! Got yer again, it's not a real fridge! They're very very clever here at Correh!"

:joker:

[Rob!]

Urgh tonight was awful. Would it be too much to ask for Phelan to take out everybody involved in this bloody Kate/Rana story?

[Rob!]

Except queen Yasmeen :love:

[kirklancaster]

I do think Corries storylines are getting a bit silly now,The Phelan thing has gone on too long, the Fizz fight and this daft woman telling Audrey she sees her Alf,lol.

I agree, Kaz. I remember the very first episode in 'Black and White' just before Christmas in 1960. I was a little kid and my brothers and I were all laid on the floor in the front room of our crumbling red-brick terrace sharing Fish 'n Chips in newspaper (with lashings of salt and vinegar and bread and 'Echo' margarine :laugh:) all eagerly waiting for Corrie to start.

When it did; WOW, how different and realistic it was. So typically Northern and true-to-life.

The characters were wonderfully drawn and superbly acted: Ena Sharples - the wonderful Violet Carson - being our favourite.

Coronation Street was OUR street and in our street, we had a REAL person who mirrored all the wonderful characters.

I wish they would play it all again right from the beginning.

[Baby Jane]

Corrie was good for about two episodes and now it’s terrible again, Kate Oates is the queen of consistency!

[Denver]

GARY Windass is going to kidnap killer Pat Phelan in Coronation Street.

Actor Mikey North - who plays the builder in the ITV soap - has revealed Gary will soon find the serial killer hiding out at a caravan park in Abergele and instead of phoning the police, he will take him back to Weatherfield himself.

Screaming

they sometimes show classic episodes on ITV3 - i watched one a few weeks ago on my day off

[Baby Jane]

At this stage surely they're actively trying to turn it into a parody?

[Vanessa]

Can't wait for the 9 pm shows. They sound really exciting! And also looking forward to David and Josh storyline.

[Matthew.]

they’re next week aren’t they?

[Rob!]

SO perched for BGT week.

[Vanessa]

Why would Gary bring Phelean back to the Street? He should have just called the police :skull:

[Amy Jade]

Can they please just kill Fizz? She is absoloutely loathsome.

Yeah that mechanic woman has a past but for Fizz to be so quick to judge when she has just let another child be punished for something another child did and looking further back she supported that creepy John Stape ffs. Hypocritical ginger ****.

[Wizard.]

Yes we need to start a campaign. Like “FREE THE WEATHERFIELD ONE” but instead it’s “KILL THE GINGER ONE”

[Amy Jade]

She's worse than Michelle and Shaun now. A miserable, hypocritical bitch who has 0 redeeming qualities.

I like a flawed character but **** me Fizz needs a baseball bat to the face.

[Matthew.]

fiz is awful and i hated her in im a celebrity too

[Rob!]

Bye at it being Faye

[Marsh.]

Where has Faye even been?

And why is she standing outside Eileen's in a black hood just to make a prank call?

[reece(:]

Ha Weeping Angel era incoming?

[Marsh.]

She looked very different, a bit older. Did she have makeup on? Took me 5 seconds to realise who she was.

Not as pale, clammy and gormless as usual. Our Little Faye is growing up.

I didn’t recognise her at all, was it the fringe that changed her

[Barry.]

I didn’t notice her until the credits came on lol.

[Marsh.]

I didn’t recognise her at all, was it the fringe that changed her

Oh I didn't spot that. Probably.

Fringes are very ageing. :think: It's made Our Sawphie look more mature too.

[Rob!]

Yeah I had a few moments of "who the **** are you" before I realised it was Faye :joker:

Why though? Is it to do with Anna?

[Marsh.]

Sorry, I haven't watched Corrie much for the last year and even I know Anna is where she is partly because of Faye so she can **** off blaming Our Eileen. :nono:

[Rob!]

I am living for Abi though :love:

[Marsh.]

Is Abi the girl hanging around Tyrone? Who is she?

[Rob!]

Is Abi the girl hanging around Tyrone? Who is she?

Seb's mum.

Please can Phelan kill Alya, she has to be the most vilest character on that street.

Can't wait for BGT week. It sounds amazing! :dance:
