I suppose its hard for peter its like someones on a diet and they work in a cake shop you have one nibble at a cake another bite before you know it you've eaten a whole cake than you say i'll have another one and so on.

Yeh

Also what could happened to Simon after this,,,,.

Okay, someone who likes Corrie, start a new discussion thread, I cant keep updating this thread no more, so I am handing over the crown :p

Chewy

If you do not have time, you do not need to updating.

But please visit here now and again, would you please.

Corrie Thread without Chewy is un thinkable.:bored:

Okay, I'll just change the title, I will probably watch when big things happen, but I just cant keep up with the regular show anymore, it is tiring

This is a historic day for Soap Fans Everywhere.

Chewy formly knowen as MrCorrie, is now giving up on everything he ever belived in.
You see there comes a time in life where we must let go off what we love and move onto new obsessions.
So Chewy has given up on Soaps.. Where does the Corrie Discussion Thread go from here?

Only time will tell.

*Credits Roll Up The Screen*

It's true, there does come a time in life where stuff like Corrie has to take a back seat, I'm leaving college soon and getting a job and I'll have to start building my future, life is about more than soaps


























It's about Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2, Forza Motorsport 3 and Fallout: New Vegas :p

:joker:

:shocked:

I take it Grand Theft Auto and Red red Dead Redemption have to take a back seat to then? :p

Ooh I just noticed Fall out New Vegas is in your SIG, Is that a racing game?

Nah, I just forgot to put them in, best thing about games, I decide when they begin and end :P

check out the Social Group called "Bethesda Games" :p

Kim Crowther Interview
 

At the end of last year, Coronation Street's leading showrunner Kim Crowther announced her decision to stand down from the role after two and a half years. Here, in her first in-depth interview since the news broke, Kim reveals how the handover with incoming producer Phil Collinson will work, what's to come for the show's 50th birthday and provides a hoard of storyline teasers for the coming months.

How's the build-up to the 50th anniversary going?
"We're still having lots of discussions about it. Obviously we've been talking about it for some time so we've got lots of ideas and we may do all of them or some of them or they may change as we develop them! We're storylining episodes that will be on screen in June at the moment so we're halfway through the year in terms of storytelling. We wouldn't start getting to talk about the end of the year until about July. However, we have to ensure that we have all of the key characters that we want to be at the centre of the show then, in good stories in the build-up so that they may climax coinciding with the anniversary."

Have you settled on a feel for the anniversary?"Tone is something we've talked about at great length with the writers. We're agreed it needs to have certain elements. It needs to feel like Corrie and have a feel-good, warm and humorous element but it also needs to be dramatic and satisfying. Those are the elements we look for in any good story for the show."

You mentioned in a recent webchat that it would be based around a big event...
"Ah, yes! It's just that the event may change! (Laughs) This is the ongoing discussion - it's still being debated and would have to be part of the story which is building."

There's been a lot of talk about comebacks - are Curly and Karen returning?"At the moment there are no plans to bring either of them back."

Fans were shocked when you announced your decision to step down as producer - how did that decision come about?"Most producers on this show only usually do about two years because we are a small team, and the truth is, you just burn out. I've done over two years already and I think because it's the 50th this year there's been an expectation that I would stay till then. I would love to, but I'm pretty worn out! I'm very excited about what I am making until I step down in the spring but I've got two young children - one's 3 and one's 5 - who haven't really seen their mummy for two years and my nanny went on maternity leave at Christmas. I had to ask myself, could I do another 18 months? If the 50th had been in the Summer I would probably have stayed and seen it through but when I was looking ahead towards the end of last year, it was another 18 months away and I felt that I needed to get home before then."

But your ideas will carry on 'til the anniversary, right?"Yes. There are stories we're playing from the end of last year that continue into 2010 and will be paid off at the end of 2010. Hopefully they will still continue and build and take shape and have wonderful payoffs that we've already discussed. However, with every round of debate, ideas change a bit so I will be very excited to see how they play out under Phil's guidance later in the year. When I step off storylines at the end of March, I will have just started filming a really big week when we see the return of Tony Gordon, so I'll get very hands on with that on the floor and take that through to final edit. Phil will take over on storylines and scripts from then on."

Are you pleased with Phil as a successor?"Yes, absolutely. He's got Corrie running through him, just as I have, which can only be a good thing when you eat, sleep and breathe it as you have to as producer. He has a great track record of producing some fantastic drama so I think he'll be great for the show. I'm leaving it in good hands."

How's the handover process going to work?"We've already had a couple of meetings to get him up to speed and of course he's reading everything we're writing now so he can be ready to start at the end of March. I invited him to the long-term conference last week when we discussed the 50th, so he's already part of those discussions."

How did you lure Kate Ford back as Tracy Barlow? "The writers and I have always loved Tracy Barlow, she's a fantastic character - I was here when we decided to reinvent the character and when we chose Kate for the part. So this time around, we had this story for Gail and we thought, 'Wouldn't it be great if we added Tracy into the mix?' So I just talked to her and persuaded her!"

How on earth are you going to get her out of prison - is it as straightforward as a technicality? "It might be! It's interesting - you have to get round these logistical things sometimes in shows like ours and I don't really mind it, I have to say. I don't mind the odd contrivance if you're on the edge of your seat going, 'How audacious! Look at that!' If it excites you, I don't really mind. We have a story to get her out and we've researched it so it's perfectly legitimate but I wouldn't really care if it wasn't particularly, because I just think it's so exciting anyway! As a viewer I wouldn't care."

Chewy im sure you'll be back watching when Joe dies/Tracey returns/Molly becomes preggers

You are a student and about getting a job?
Now I understood.
Of course once you started to work, you have to concentrate on the job.

Do not worry about here. Smithy is already looking after us. Patric, jackie, BigSister, flemin, MrGaryy will visit here often I hope.

But if you feel want to relax sometimes in a future, please pop in.:blush:
(I still feel you are the landlord of Corrie Thread, and we are tenants. hahaha)

I have to say Peter Barlows acting (well the actor who plays Peter) was amazing as a drunk yesterday. I so often find that people playing 'drunks' overdo it or just end up looking silly. He looked like a true alcoholic who'd fallen off the wagon. Applause to him!

It was so real, even I have forgotten he was acting.

I can not wait the story how.:D

i know, and the link between he and gail will be very interesting, how will gail survive in prison

This prison story reminded me that Deirdre also had been to prison for a while the crime she did not commit about 10 years ago.

Public campaigned to free Deirdre, even Tony Blair made a speach at the Commons to support it. (it is true!!)

So Gail's prison storyline has to be very special to be as successful as Deirdre's one.

Chewy no way!. Im very surprised
Ill still be here though

Coronation Street's series producer Kim Crowther has promised that Tracy Barlow's release from prison will be handled in a realistic manner.

Speaking in an interview with DS, Crowther explained that the soap's team have conducted research to come up with a "perfectly legitimate" way to create the plot twist.

Tracy, played by actress Kate Ford, will return to screens later this year as she becomes embroiled in another character's jail storyline. She will go on to make a full-time Weatherfield comeback towards the end of 2010.

Crowther revealed: "It's interesting - you have to get round these logistical things sometimes in shows like ours and I don't really mind it, I have to say. I don't mind the odd contrivance if you're on the edge of your seat going, 'How audacious! Look at that!' If it excites you, I don't really mind.

"We have a story to get her out and we've researched it so it's perfectly legitimate but I wouldn't really care if it wasn't particularly, because I just think it's so exciting anyway! As a viewer I wouldn't care."

Tracy is currently serving a 15-year jail sentence after being found guilty of murdering her partner Charlie Stubbs (Bill Ward).




:dance:
This sounds great, at least they've come up with a legit reason, rather than just letting her wander back onto the cobbles

:elephant::dance::cheer::colour::hello:

Yeah im glad about that too
Cant wait for tonights with the boat and the athermarth of Peters drinking

Yeah, it'll be great to see the drama on the lake

Just thought id say i thought tonites episode was great, some real drama in a soap for once lol

How Gail will be blamed for murder I wonder,,,.

Do you think Leanne will leave Peter?
