Faye as Maria Von Trapp. That brought a smile to my face.

I hope we get to see her in action.

I understand there's a wilful suspension of disbelief needed when watching soaps, but the baby write out was a bit ridiculous, after all the time spent building up the storyline.

My favourite write out was Tommy Duckworth, after the actor got into a spot of bother in real life. As if anyone would jet off never to return when you have Michelle Keegan throwing herself at you.

To be fair Corrie's hand was forced with Tommy Duckworth. Actor was a complete idiot. I agree they could have made up more believable exit.

Jason needs a hair cut.

I'd say Ted in 'the Den' scared me more then Callum and Ted wasn't 1 bit scary.

That ad with them running from him is pathetic

Ted was creepy as hell. He was when I was about 6 any way.

Either way, Callum is pathetic. When Tony caught him he was actually crying. Im not a violent person but everytime I see Calum throwing his weight around, I want to kick the bejaysus out of him.

No dear Lord please to Anna and Tim hooking up


I wonder has Robert a plan of his own for Tracy, he let Nick punch and fire him and then rehire him, strange that he lies again that Tracy is innocent to all except Carla

LynnGrace

So glad to see Robert get a punch in the gob.

Anna getting stuck into the overcooked lasagne, and you can hear Garray trudging up the stairs, then yer wan Izzy rolls in 3 seconds later. How does that work?

frostyjacks

I was going to say Tracey needs to get her hair sorted, it being flat and lifeless looking. But then I'm thinking it's meant to be in contrast to Carla's full, flowing locks, part of the whole jealousy thing. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it.

JP Liz V1

So David was going to call Jason if Callum didn't bring Max home, what could wounded Jason do?

Somebody was out of tune singing "Doe a deer," don't know if it was Faye or Michelle Keeghandi, hope it was the latter.

what was the point of Faye getting pregnant again

I have noticed ordinary litter bins in the Street, but they desperately need a Pregnancy Test Kit Disposal Unit hanging on some wall. I can't remember one case of the pissed-on test result not being picked up by some passer-by, and consequently being used to fuel some tired storyline. And there's still far too much eavesdropping going on - hardly a conversation goes on without another interested party being pressed against a wall around the corner, who then, misunderstanding what has been heard, scuttles off unseen and undiscovered, to pass on the wrong information with devastating, yet boring, consequences. Usually involving someone finishing up in a hospital bed with his/her life (you've guessed it) hanging by a thread.

I've got it! The next evolution in pregnancy test kits - Mission Impossible style self destruct. No blue line any more, instead a speaker which goes "Congratulations or not, your pregnant! This pregnancy test will self destruct in five seconds".

Is this the full extent of Tracy getting her comeuppance ?? No police charges but we'll be subjected to weeks of her shouting her innocence at all and sundry. Despite the fact that Robert knows what she did

Probably seeing as she's also got away with lying she'd slept with Roy, conning him into marrying her, selling her daughter. Hospitalising Claire, accusing Becky of pushing her down the stairs and even murdering Charlie, not to mention how many times she's slept with someone elses partner. So why would we expect the writers to break with the tradition of giving her a free pass, they seem to think viewers like her :-/

omg for a second there I thought you were saying she was pregnant again like 2nd baby, my brain was a bit slow there

jaded_pause

I feel like the producers have ADHD. I'm sorry if anyone is offended by this, but it's like OMG LETS DO A TEENAGE PREGNANCY STORY LINE! Doing it.. Ok i'm bored of that one now OMG LETS MAKE ALYA PREGNANT! Ok bored of that now. Corrie right now is a total mess.

Roy is the glue holding it all together. His friendships with Carla, Tyrone, Fizz, Anna, Gary etc., without him the whole thing would collapse.

bobbyss

The whole thing is ridiculous. Carla and Tracy on a cliff!!! That's just like what a 14 year old would write for a plot. It never fails to amuse me all the sackings that Carla dishes out o a whim. Did anyone catch why Robert was sacked? He was assaulted by the partner of the co owner and he ends up being sacked! The script writers must have banned trade unions in Wertherby.

bodhi085

Carla and Tracey on the cliff and Carla is facing away from Tracey with bottle of alcohol in hand. Why in soaps do they always have one character with back turned. If someone spoke to me with back turned I'd be telling them to turn around so I could hear them properly.
Happens all the time in soaps.

Corrie is on from 7-8 tonight.

I think he might have gone to Scotland for work.

Thanks fin, wasn't sure if he'd ended up in prison or they'd split up!

Gandy and Michael seem to be great pals again.

Its amazing how quickly wikipedia gets updated.

I googled for that game and under the popular culture section of wikipedia it said:

Roy Cropper was seen playing the game in Coronation Street on September 13th 2015s episode having found it in his friend Cathy's house. He proclaimed it to be his " favourite board game of all time"

The episode only finished 10 minutes ago!

loved the shirt gag tonight that was funny, I also like Kathy nephew good actor

he is an romantic 2 girls on the go lol

Did Max come to the Bistro on his own as I don't think he was Gail, David, Kylie and Lily

No, he was first in the door, though he was only in shot for a second.

Jesus Corrie is gone to the dogs lately. Used to mix comedy great with the likes of the Battersbys and Cilla.
The Windasses and that Pakistani family are dreadful, they'd drain the life out of you listening to them all.

I must have missed that


David really wants Jason and Tony to solve his problem as in Callum :mad:

It used to have everything. Drama, suspense, comedy, real bad guys, sometimes shocking storylines, sometimes endearing moments.

Richard Hillman was scary. A true psycho. Jezz Quigley was also really scary.

Betty in a bad mood was more intimidating than Callum is.

What was the name of Ritas foster daughter who hooked up with Kevin and planned to abduct Jack? That storyline was over in a couple of weeks. The John Lindsay story line slowly and perfectly unfolded. It wasn't rushed. Same for Richard Hillman.

Sarah-Lous pregnancy was a real shocker. Faye's was tired and boring and they have seen the error of their ways and have come up with a ludicrous way of closing that chapter in her life. Its been handled badly as well.

Jim McDonald former Para, got hospitalised by Eoin. Thats stretching the imagination a bit. Ah catch yerself on Stuart Blackburn.

Tracey has caused the deaths of 3 different people at this stage and is still walking the streets. She is one of the most hated characters on the show, and the actress, god bless her, is a third rate actress.

For the second time in about 3 months a pregnancy test kit "got into the wrong hands". Stealing a teenage pregnancy storyline from about 15 years ago is one thing. Recycling a plot device, three months after the last time it was used is just shameful. I ask you, who hides a pregnancy test behind a cushion? Its been peed on for a start. Id imagine most women would want to keep it near them at all times. Allya dropped hers into the bin at work. Again, its a stretch of the imagination that she would be that stupid. Its more realistic that she would do the test at home for a myriad of reasons.

And don't get me started on Dierdres final scenes.

I could go on and on and on and on.

Norris seems to be missing for a long time too? Surely he would have been out and about for Tracy Luv's latest story?

Isn't it terrible that nearly all of the regulars to this forum, and long term viewers, are having this same frustrated rant and yet the show is only getting more pish.

Poor Jason he is a decent guy always done by in love & life

Is Alex's Cathys son? How does Cathy know him?

He has Down Syndrome. He is not disabled.

MistyCheese

Alex is Cathys nephew. Her sister Nessa is coming into it soon so I presume Nessa is Alexs mother.

jaded_pause

I really don't think they should be hurtling

Roy and Cathy together

That is what's annoying me most about Corrie recently.

Ya I agree and I dont think it fits in with his character at all.

Just as you say that, I've also noticed Audrey is missing. She hasn't had much involvement in the Callum storyline lately and I haven't seen her in the salon in a while? In fact I can't remember the last time I recall her being on. Wonder what the deal is.
