Coronation Street [News, Spoilers and Discussion] contd

SouthernBelle

I'm just thinking about the cast members who didn't take part last night. I read that some people opted out of taking part. Those who come to mind are:

Tracey
Gail
Audrey
Norris
Mary
Emily
Tyrone

Obviously Simon Gregson/Steve - but we knew beforehand that he wouldn't be taking part.

I think Shane Ward has done a good job playing his role but two things annoyed me when he was interviewed in the behind the scenes show.

1. His ridiculous hat.
2. When he was asked about how he, as a new actor, felt about doing the live show, he said "actually I found it quite easy".

I thought he came across quite cocky.

Really, they were just doing what they are paid to do - ACT. Some did so better than others, but overall, not a bad effort.

Theres a spoiler behind that............ Another plane crashes into Emmerdale in a few months. Was filmed tonight...


Old Trafford is literally only up the road and United were playing Ipswich last night during live episode! rooney scored in 23rd minute so I must listen back to hear was there any semblance of a roar from the crowd at 8.23, whatever scene they were in. I imagine it ws an inside scene as if it was out on the street, there is no doubt you would have heard it, given there was 65,000 united fans present (5,000 ipswich).

Would have been hilarious if when Roy lobbed the gob, the massive cheer went up from the crowd!!

I must do that too, though

Kylie was probably offing Callum

at that stage.

Was the entire programme live? Also no Mary at Roy's party or am I mistaken? Can't remember seeing her.

I think Tony is

totally going to cement over Callum's body before David and Kylie move it!

I was surprised to see Rita there, I thought the actress had taken ill and couldn't appear in the live episode?!

She was suppose to be off sick, she did seem out of it was she acting drunk?

I think I enjoyed it partly because we are finally rid of Callum, even if the Platts aren't . And it didn't involve any running

Overall though, I thought they all did well. I loved the way they were all dressed up for Roy's (non) party.

I suppose it will drag on again though, while Kylie and David fret over what happened. I thought they were really good, both can act, anyway, but I thought they really delivered. I'd say Tony would gladly cement / concrete Callum into that manhole for them, if they ask him.

Haven't read any spoilers so far, I know that they were being coy, saying 'the Platts try to move on' etc.

Anyone expecting Sarah Louise to crack up and pull a Sam from EE digging up Callum's corpse in a few months if she knows he is down the manhole

Told you Callum would die & end up down Gail's Manhole

![/SPOILER]

Callum was killed early in the programme. Before 8pm. Rooney scored at 8.23

I think the world knew that 3 weeks ago! Even the Nepalese stranded up Everest got wind of it! It was the most predictable scenario since someone predicted the possibility of rain in Ireland

Tony wont be informed as Tony will be the one arrested for the "disappearance" of Callum given he was probably spotted taking the car. That is a scenario that would suit the Platts

I think Tony driving the car away was the comic element,plus they couldnt drag it out if they got Callim in the car no bother.I think Sarah will crack,she doesnt have thestomach for it.

I think that was a plothole that would have been genious. If, unbeknownst to Tony, the Platts had put Callum in the boot and were just about to head off but Tony and todd jumped in and burnt out the car, incriminating them

Tyrone was actually on set and ready to go LIVE even though he didn't appear in an episode. Apparently he was a back-up plan in case anything went wrong technically with the LIVE show, there was another (presumably more basic) live feed set up with Alan Halsall in the back garden chatting away to himself until they could resolve any problem or switch to a back-up recording of one of the rehearsals. Storyline wise he was at hope looking after Hope and Ruby which is why he wasn't at the party.
Stuart Maynard (Tony) mentioned it on the after-show when he was being interviewed.

Jane Danson (Leanne) was one of the others who didn't want to do the live show, so she wasn't there and can be added to the above list. And Maria maybe? I don't remember seeing her in it, but maybe she was there. Think everyone else appeared at some point.

I agree that would have been good, Callum in the burnt car


I think Tony or Jason or both will get arrested for Callum's disappearance now

Always number 1

The actress that plays Maria is heavily pregnant. I read something somewhere during the summer where she said she wouldn't be taking part in the live show as she would be heavily pregnant / on maternity leave by the time the live show came around.

As an aside I think it's hilarious that some people (not here!) are saying that the major blooper last night was Callum breathing (was the actor supposed to hold his breath for the duration?)

I think Maria is on maternity leave. I thought Leanne was brilliant in the last live episode they had, the tram crash.

Maria is a pointless useless character, she ruins every character she is paired with and Samia in an awful actress

I like Maria, but then again I fancied her when I was a teenager, so maybe I still see her through rose tinted glasses.

Would be very entertaining but the problem is that forensics and extensive police inquiries (plus use of CCTV etc) would lead the investigation straight back to the Platt household and the trio being rumbled within days.

Red Kev

A better plot is if it gets filled in and Callums body stays there. Kylie, David & Sarah cracking up over the next few months knowing the body is there, then Gail finding out.

If its done and written properly its good, the actors can carry it off, but I wouldnt have a lot of confidence in the writing and direction.

Its such an original idea, it might just work.......................................






Perhaps they can get the Morton's back and Jerry takes up with Gail again and helps the Platts cover up......... I think the actor that plays Jerry could pull this plot off....

Robsweezie

I know your man was sick, but it looked so stupid that steve wasn't there for lloyds party.

Jamie2k9

Come to town and help me pick some taps. Got to love Gail

Oh shut up about your taps... if it was me, I'd actually end up slapping her!

He was but he paid £200 to change their trip and come back for a day to Lloyd could say goodbye to Steve.
