Is it just me who thinks Coronation Street needs to be scrapped ASAP? Sure the episodes scrape the barrell of watchable quality but if you compare it to 2004 episodes, they're so boring & dull. :sad:

Its getting better now, Emmerdale is in a much worse state, and isnt getting better:wavey:

Yeah, Emmerdale has really gone down the tubes. Full stop. I don't see it lasting until this time next year.

Yeah, they over did it all, too many explosions and not enough character

I mean this murder thats coming up is the turning point for Corrie, its the biggest storyline since Mad Maya in 2004, so glad Kim Crowther is in charge now

and mad maya was a great storyline i remember it so clearly

Mad Maya. :shocked: LOVED that storyline, I remember collecting magazine clippings about that storyline. :puzzled:

"A Night To Remember"
Loved it. :love:

Yesh! :devil:

But I have to admit since Killer Katy, it went downhill abit
But Kim Crowther is a top producer, so its getting good again

Omg, when that appeared on the screen I literally got chills

ACTRESS Helen Flanagan screams as she films shocking Corrie scenes — and is so convincing that horrified witnesses call the COPS.

The real-life drama happened as the crew shot scenes where Rosie Webster, played bv Helen, is locked in an isolated farmhouse by her ex lover John Stape (Graeme Hawley).



The teen star’s yells were so loud that horrified neighbours called the police — unaware that it was part of a gritty soap plot.

The cops raced to the set on full alert, sirens blaring, only to find the cries of “Help me, please get me out” were just part of the script.

The unsettling scenes, which see enraged teacher John exact a twisted revenge on teenage temptress Rosie, will air late next month.

Coronation Street's Dev Alahan is due to gain a business but lose a friend when he buys Jerry Morton's kebab shop.

The Daily Star reports that Dev, played by Jimmi Harkishin, tricks Jerry's son Darryl into revealing the healthy state of the eaterie's finances.

On finding out what a proposition it is, Dev snaps it up - but not without upsetting Darryl, played by Jonathan Dixon, along the way.

"I would kill Dev with my own hands," Darryl says when he finds out.

"There was me giving him all this info about how good the shop is because I wanted to prove I'm up to running a business. And all the time, he was milking me 'cos he wanted to buy it himself."

awww poor Daryl

Aye, I wonder what Dev will do with the place?
Maybe turn it into a corner shop and close his Coronation Street one

This is the moment when Coronation Street’s teenage temptress Rosie Webster reveals all – in more ways than one.

The saucy secretary goes all out to seduce her boss – Weatherfield’s ruthless businessman Tony Gordon - after he takes her for lunch at a luxury hotel.

She strips to her underwear, a sexy corset and knickers, and waits for him in the hotel room in the episode to be screened tonight (Fri 26th Sept).

But when he rejects her and threatens her with the sack she decides it’s time he knew the truth about his fiancée Carla and her brother-in-law Liam Connor.

So she smugly shows him the footage she shot on her mobile phone of the two of them kissing.

Even Rosie is not prepared for Tony’s jealous reaction. He throws the terrified teenager down on the bed and tells her that no one else must find out about Carla and Liam’s affair.

And when Rosie mysteriously disappears, her family and the police soon establish that Tony was the last person to see her.

Over the coming weeks a desperate search gets underway for Rosie – has she run away or is there a more sinister explanation?

Actress Helen Flanagan, 18, has played Rosie since she was 9-years-old but she wasn’t worried about the underwear scenes.

She said: “Rosie is such a fun character to play. You never know what she will get up to next. Everyone was fantastic on set when we had to do these scenes and put me at ease.

“We had meetings about what Rosie would wear and it was decided that as she has access to all this amazing underwear she would go all out to try and seduce Tony.

“I knew that I had to act confidently because Rosie is confident and there was no point in being embarrassed. In the end I had great fun doing these scenes.”

This episode heralds the start of ‘murder week’. By the end of this week’s episodes Liam Connor (Rob James Collier) will be dead. Unusually for Coronation Street, every episode this week will be focusing on the events of just one day – revolving around Tony’s (Gray O'Brien) stag do.

We will not be revealing how Liam dies but one thing’s for sure - Tony Gordon will be the man responsible. Three different endings have been filmed but viewers will not know which one is going to be used up until the moment of the murder.

In tonight’s episode Tony and his mates gather ready for the stag do. They arrive in Roy’s Rolls to get into teams for the paintballing but Liam has other things on his mind and can’t stay away from Carla (Aison King). He insists she meet him in the Rovers back yard where he tries to persuade her to call off the wedding. Meanwhile Tony is keeping an eye on Liam – convinced he and Carla are having an affair.

Carla’s mind is in turmoil as she cracks open the bubbly for her hen night with the girls. She knows she wants Liam but she is terrified of the consequences of breaking up with Tony.

Elsewhere on the Street, Sophie (Brooke Vincent) is disappointed that her dad is so pre-occupied with Rosie’s disappearance that he has forgotten her swimming competition. But Kevin (Michael Le Vell) is soon reminded he has two daughters when another postcard arrives with the message Sophie’s next.

Steve (Simon Gregson) is rattled when DC Hooch (Dominic Carter) arrives on the street wanting to ask him more questions and Tina (Michelle Keegan) is delighted when Rita (Barbara Knox) offers her a job at the Kabin helping out whilst Norris (Macolm Hebdon) recovers from his accident.

HAYLEY Cropper is on her way back to Corrie — with a new man, we can reveal.

Julie Hesmondhalgh, 38, who plays the transsexual has had a year’s break from the ITV1 soap after an exhausting workload.

In the plot, fans saw Hayley leave to do charity work in Africa.

But hubby Roy (David Nelson) is in for a shock when she returns and says she has fallen in love with a Swedish teacher called Olaf and is leaving him.

A show source said: “Hayley leaves Roy devastated, but soon discovers Olaf is a rogue and begs Roy for forgiveness. Will he take her back?”



TRAUMATISED Rosie Webster is comforted by mum Sally after escaping the terrifying clutches of psycho teacher John Stape.

Corrie’s sexy wildchild — played by Helen Flanagan, 18 — had been kidnapped and kept locked in an isolated farmhouse by her obsessed ex-lover.

Nicked ... cops lead away obsessed kidnapper Stape

Nicked ... cops lead away obsessed kidnapper Stape

When she finally manages to flee, covered in cuts and bruises, she bolts to the open arms of her sobbing mum, played by Sally Whittaker, 45.

Cops then lead Stape (Graeme Hawley) off in handcuffs — as his girlfriend Fiz Brown (Jennie McAlpine) hugs Rosie and desperately tries to convince the Street she knew nothing about the kidnap.

The dramatic scenes will be shown on the ITV1 soap next month.

Does this mean Stape's leaving?

I think so yeah, unless he gets bail, and does something Mad Maya style (not neccesarily fire :P)

awwww no cant believe Hayleys done that

Aye, poor Roy :shocked:
