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.

Maybe they've eloped ! :D

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

Ena Sharples or Annie Walker were waaaaaayyyyy more frightening than Callum.

Didn't we just have the lloyd love and pregnancy triangle with nick, Carla and the other one who was so memorable I forget her name

pmasterson95

I'd love Tony to meet Callum down the ginnel. Callum wont be guffawing after that.

Jesus, a holiday booked already? Liz doesn't wait around.

JP Liz V1

Has Tracy starting the fire been forgotten about, I expected Leanne, Nazirs and Sophie demanding Tracy's head on a pitch fork or do some not believe Carla

I take it someone is going to get buried in this manhole under Gail's garage? Seemed to be a dropping a big hint tonight.

Callum getting killed off by Platts or Grimshaws and put down the manhole seems very obvious so hope it don't happen

syklops

Not sure if I said this before, but the storyline of Andrea stealing that record was the most stupid thing I've ever seen on Coronation Street.

Red Kev

The manhole story is another rehash. Didn't John Stape bury someone in the factory as well. I think it was the guy whose identity he stole.

MistyCheese

IIRC many moons ago Richard Hillman left an ex-wife (Angela?) buried in some foundations or other.

I literally only saw 5 minutes of coronation Street in the last week. Yesterday at 5 to 8 before EE and Audrey was in it and seemed very central to the Callum plot as she was bring attacked......

That's the first time in a while I can recall seeing her. Thought that was funny as I only mentioned not seeing her yesterday

LynnGrace

Yes, Audrey was noticeably absent, of late, even from occasions where it would have been usual for her to be present.

Another absentee, Dev, reappeared last night. He seems to have been offscreen for ages.

and then someone will go mad & kick him up like Dirty Den

Ann22

Daft, that Audrey said she couldn't describe the attackers. ..Wtf?! One was quite ordinary looking alright but the other was black with dreadlocks. She'd be a dawdle to beat in a game of Guess Who. Just as well the two scumbags showed up again. It was getting beyond ridiculous that Calum just had Vicky Pollard as a minion.
I fast forward all the scenes with Maria and your man and his sister and Andy. I can't summon up the interest in them at all.

Calling it now

Tony Kills Callum & puts him down Gail's manhole

fussyonion

I can't stop staring at Kylie's eyebrows...has she plucked OVER the brow? Looks weird.

I cannot warm to Cathy at all; I can't put my finger on it, but she's just not likeable.

If Callum is going to snuff it, I won't miss him. I'm sick of his gurning.

I was thinking Max to kill Callum with Callum's gun. I need a where... If it was in the apartment, gunshots would be heard... Enter David, Kylie, Tony and Jason to cover up and Callum goes down Gail's manhole.

JP Liz V1

Please stop mentioning Gail's manhole

I reckon Bethany or Sarah Lou myself. It would be too easy to put it down to Tony, he's been around the block a bit and probably has blood on his hands from a previous episode in his life.

Decent writers would get Bethany or Sarah Lou to do the job and use the trauma around this over the next few years, but this is the new Corrie. As someone said above, it's like the producers/writers have ADHD and drop storylines with no consequences.

I reckon Jason to batter Callum to a pulp, but not kill him. Kylie to stumble across him and deliver the coup de grâce, and herself and Tony dispose of the body under the garage.

I would say there was plenty down Gails manhole,whats one more:D

Na it will be Lily with Gail's hair brush

Red Kev

BTW.. in the scene where Steve, his Mum, Michelle and Lloyd were in the Bistro the sign behind Liz advertised a pasta dish with "puttanesca" sauce.

The sauce is from Naples and literally means 'whore style' sauce. It was eaten by the ladies of the night in the docks before a nights work. Me knoweth this as its my speciality dish, but I wonder if it was an inside joke by the crew.

Liz needs to get an STI story line she's had more sex than hot dinners "Blanche"

fussyonion

I love how Liz called herself a mug while handing Lloyd an actual mug.
And she was drinking from a mug labelled "World's Best Granny".

We're not even going to talk about that absoloute balloon that was with the fella demanding money off Callum? With the wide eyed grin and the crazy facial hair, it was like they were trying to make the campy Callum normal by comparison.

Speaking of hired goons, how have Callum's not been identified yet. Callum even felt secure in getting the same two to thrash Audrey's as the guys who put Jason in intensive care. People who got a good look at the huge guy with the tattoos and the guy with the tall dreadlocks, but couldn't describe them to the police because "it all happened so fast":

Jason (albeit with head injuries sustained so he probably gets a pass)
Roy and Anna (long looks, with Roy getting a bit wary of them and Anna noting one guy's tats)
Audrey (likely standing watching them as they trashed the shop)
Ken (the worst offender, a logical man who'd likely remember detail, stared them dead in the eye for a prolonged time and exchanged words, with the knowledge that they had done harm to his friend)
Any CCTV at all, despite the Jason and Audrey incidents having exactly known times and the goons having visited many locations on the street with no spotting by cameras that, at the very least, Underworld, the Bistro, the kebab place, the builder's yardand Victoria Court should have even if the Rovers, Roys Rolls (which given the amount of bother he's had from thugs and bullies, that he never put up in or outside the cafe), Barlow's, the garage and Audrey's do not.


But hey it's not like selective blindness is the weirdest thing these characters have shown.

walshb

Callum has to be the most ridiculous soap character in quite some time. He's a caricature!

If it was the same two thugs Callum used, why had he to be so exact in directions? Weren't they on the street before?

Its your call, but Corrie has been so poor of late I wouldn't be spending days off just to watch the live episode.

I'll be at home in time for it an even then I'll still just watch it on Sky+ to avoid the adverts.

Weren't they the two who caused problems in the rovers as well? So yeah, why was Callum telling theres a pub on the corner called the rovers, when they've been there before.

I wonder do the writers actually watch Corrie?

syklops

Its been a while since I've had something good to say about Corrie, but it was nice to be surprised by a storyline, which hadn't been leaked to the Sun six weeks earlier.

Plus its nice to see Eva again.

But, Lloyd and Steve warring again is not a welcome change.

I was thinking the same thing. I didn't know Eva was coming back. I liked Eva and Jason as a couple.

Red Kev

I thought Callum had two days to get the cash together. Surely they're up by now?

Also why do the cops show up and arrest ordinary people on a bit of hearsay yet can't arrest Callum (someone the cops want to catch) on the verbal evidence of any of the Platt's. Permanently trespassing, threatening and intimidating people, yet nobody does anything.

The fellas who trashed Audrey's shop had fingerprints over evérything including the till drawer that she gave them but the cops do nothing. It's a right PITA at this stage.

Nice to see Eva back, love her 'dwarf' comments to Sarah.

Ya that was so weird the gangster that broke into Callum's flat demanding his money, while he was eating cheese puffs, so weird? like who thought ok lets have him eating cheese puffs while beating up Callum? Weird.

Re Audrey's break-in..Did the police interview Ken? He could have given a good description, the lads answered the salon door to him after all!

Such a ridculous storyline, they could have at least had different guys break in to the salon, Callum is always mouthing off about how many "friends" he has.

Unless the writers thought the viewers are too stupid to understand there could have been many more people involved with Callum other than the 2 heavies, Vicky Pollard and the infamous "Macca" :rolleyes:

LynnGrace

I think the live episode will be a damp squib. If they kill off Callum, at least that would be something. I'm not sure the scriptwriters / producers will kill him off. Probably afraid Vicky Pollard will haunt them, if they do :P...
