antonymin

Happy go lucky Fizz was great when she arrived. But any kind of drama makes her irritating. The whole stupid John Stape saga And now this cancer story line.

I really can't bear Fiz's scary eyed 'sad and scared' face. It drives me mental. Even the thoughts of the John Stape saga brings me out in hives!

Im only catching up with the omnibus atm and one thing thats royally annoyed me and is a big faux pau by the writers

The doctor went off and told the fiz and tyrone that Hope COULD have cancer before they had even done a biopsi- jesus christ like what doc does that ...scares the life out of parents before they have even checked is there cancerous cells- Very bad writing!

I obviously fast forwarded that bit. Weren't they telling everyone that she does have cancer, even telling the child herself that she is to have medicine for it?

Maybe but only if he stops beating her up :-)

Hilarious to watch the medic's pre programmed prejudice lead her to the wrong conclusion.

Thats another annoying thing- she has not been diagnosed yet they are going around saying she does have cancer-I know they are assuming the worst but seriously!!

FourFourRED

Just caught up & apologies if this has been done to death but the scenes with Simon & Leanne the last few weeks have been awfully annoying. The kid who plays him is a pretty bad actor.

LynnGrace

Please, woman in factory give Alya a job, far far away...

Red Kev

Right in the middle of the showdown between Carla & Tracey they cut to a different scene with Leanne & Simon hiding in a wardrobe.

Why? They just took the tension out of it. Terrible editing.

They're always doing crap like that.

MistyCheese

Dear Corrie writers,

Please, please, please shelve plans to couple Anna and Tim. Please.

Kind regards,
Most of your viewers.

antonymin

No, they are bound to be together. You have seen the signs, they have a common link, it's bound to happen. Poor ol' Sally, she will not get her lovely wedding and scruffy looking Kevin might come to her rescue. He should consider having a shave, he looks like a tramp.

David and Kylie are not bothered and worried about Callum now

Agreed.

Same with Deirdre's funeral scenes, they were interspersed with (usual rubbish) story lines and (over) acting from Callum, Bethany and Sara.
Personally, I would have preferred to gaze at a blank screen, than look at that trio.
It took from what should have been a tribute to Anne Kirkbride, RIP.

They are probably wrecked from all that running in the trailer for the live episode.

The quarry that Tracy and Carla went to looks very like the one they use for similar scenes in Emmerdale. I wonder if its the same place or in the same area?

When is the live episode?

Zeedan and Leanne are gonna do it aren't they

Coronation Street will go live during ITV's 60th anniversary week, which begins on September 21. To celebrate the milestone soap fans will see David, Kylie and Sarah Platt pushed to the edge by evil drug dealer Callum.

I thought it looked identical to where the bus crash was filmed.

If Tony is building a granny flat for Gail at David's house, maybe Callum dead body will buried underneath but who kills him

History repeating itself, but anything to get rid of Callum. Considering Tracey got away with murder once and nearly got away with two additional man-slaughters. I think Tony getting away with murder is perfectly acceptable if it means no more Callum.

Woah cant believe its the 60th anniversary, just seems like yesterday they did the 50th anniversary, was that the tram crash live for the 50th anniversary?

It is ITV's 60th not Corrie 60th

antonymin

Tracy should get involved with Callum, she would sort him out.

maurv1

Wasn't Tracey about to hit Carla on the head with a heavy object (her "modus operandi" as in Charlie Stubbs) when she was disturbed and had to leave the flat quickly because she was disturbed (I forget what disturbed her ).

She's an awful person, and I hope she gets her comeuppance soon.

antonymin

Carla is a wreck, so is Fizz, Roy, Tracy, Simon, Chesney, Roy's female friend and a couple more I can't recall. Come on, Corrie, lighten up a bit.

Oh right so how many years ago did they do the live episode of the tram crash? That was for the 50th anniversary wasn't it?

Just seen the trailer for the live show, very impressive.

Can't be very 'live' so if they've filmed a lot of it in advance. :-)

What are the shippers calling them! Lee-dan? Zee-anne?

The big difference between Carla and the rest on your list, is that Carla can carry it off.

Ah, gotcha. It was the trailer where David and Kylie get chased by the baddie and they stand on a cliff edge right in the middle of the street. Probably more of a teaser than a trailer.

No that's a fake trailer they did to get suspense going for the live episodes. There's no sinkhole in the live episode - imaging there was lol - a quick clear out of the cast! :P

Well, Kevin and Molly were still a thing and Jack is about 5, so I'd say it was about 5 years ago.

So Jackson's family are taking Miley to Canada with no plan to return.
Have Corrie's writers never heard of the Hague convention ?

Im assuming Faye gave up her parental rights when she handed over the baby.But i dont know.

Red Kev

Faye showed up a couple of days ago for the first time since God knows when. Looks at the photos and skips off, not a care in the world to her.

One of the most utterly pointless stories ever devised on Corrie. No build up, (she was 7 months gone before she knew), never dealt with the trauma, never dealt with the aftermath of the birth except sporadically, never dealt with Faye giving the baby up. the story was dropped like a hot potato.

Now the family emigrate to get rid of the storyline completley. No doubt she will show up 20 years from now in a ....."Street shocker/ Gobby Miley/ Tell's it like she sees it/ Stillettos hit the famous cobbles/ some other shlte storyline.

Compare that to Sarah and how her pregnancy was dealt with and you see where Corrie is now, and where it's going to.

That struck me too... I pay more attention if my daughters show me pictures of their dogs.

The absolute worst was during the episode dealing with Deirdre's funeral.

Much better comment than mine about the dreadful editing!! :)

Cortina_MK_IV

Extra hour-long episode of Coronation Street next Sunday (13th) from 7-8pm.

As per TV guide:

Vengeful Jason goes after Callum. Roy and Cathy get an unexpected visitor. Can a gobsmacked Steve keep Andrea's secret?

I must have missed something last night because I just thought that they have gone to Canada for a holiday and that the baby and the family will be back again in 2 weeks???
