Maybe Kym Marsh and her clan should wear normal shoes. :laugh:

Honestly, it's as though they're walking the catwalk sometimes when I put it on.

Eva always comes out of that poky little house to go to her poky little job across the road dressed like she's going to the Oscars with perfect hair. :joker:

Not naming no names, but no Acting is required with some stars in Corrie, they play themselves or just roll their eyes, pout, moan.

God knows how they manage to walk on the cobbles with those shoes, lol.

Weirdly, though the set has moved, they still seem to be using the Granada set for Weatherfield General

If they have to travel for that stuff hopefully it means less hospital. It got to the point where someone was in hospital every week just for the sake of it.

True, it is quite possible the new owners of Granada Studios will retain the Police station/town centre/hospital sets for Corrie for now.

Maddie is unlikeable atm, but she is another good addition.

I agree, the actress they've got to play her is pretty good too, in fact most of the younger faces that have been brought in seem to be good additions.

I don't like her either, she's not got any likeable characteristics about her

Tickets are now on sale for the tour

Scarlett. 14-03-2014 10:19 PM

They showed off the street a little more tonight, seeing everything at a proper size at least made the street seem a bit more realistic, especially in long shots like this, there's no way the Bistro would have fit in the old set, but it looks a much better size now.

The garage finally looks big enough now, and the actual inside looks big enough to fix a car in at last

Also noticed a new little pathway from Audrey's to Streetcars

The shot with Carla and Michelle I noticed showed off the set a bit and it looks a lot bigger/more real.

Scarlett. 17-03-2014 12:50 AM

I notice in the preview pics, they've finally redecorated the old Battersby house

There's a new street where Rosamund Street used to be

http://i1.cdnds.net/14/14/618x464/dsc01394.jpg

As you can see here, there's clearly a new row of houses where that once was

That doesn't look right.

It probably will look better from the perspective the show it from in the show, it's quite a largeish street as well

Marsh. 04-07-2014 08:10 PM

I'm guessing it's just a backdrop then and not something they're going to incorporate actively?

Scarlett. 04-07-2014 08:42 PM

I dunno, there's a little fake entryway style bit on the facade (that shed/box type bit), which would be there to give the illusion that it's not just a wall, its quite likely that it will be used in the show at some point.

Scarlett. 09-07-2014 09:31 PM

Another view of the new street
