Coronation Street [News, Spoilers and Discussion] contd

I keep thinking of Aladdin the animation when someone says Ali, "prince Ali , fabulous he, Ali of Abwa:)!

One minute Eileen and Eva can't find the keys to help Billy, then after the break they both storm in! Did I miss something? How did they get access?

Summer is a poor little actress really. Delivering lines in a monotone. But of course she is not the only sub standard actor on the stage.

Adam Alya, Brian Dev, Steve, Zee.

Lots more but can't remember the names. Sean Bean's ex -the one who works in the fast food place for one and that Simon fellow for another. Then there those very annoying kids belonging to Dev. It must run in the family. Useless articles.

Too old to play Michelle’s son..definitely!
:-D

^ Either Eileen found the spare keys she had or maybe from Tracy

Alex going by Ali, obviously because since he was last on the show, another Alex has joined the cast and the writers think that the audience are idiots who might get the two men mixed up. They took on that risk having a Beth and a Bethany be main cast at the same time but they really had a close shave having Rob and Robert meet without triggering a singularity.

JP Liz V1

I never heard of anyone going by Ali/Aly short for Alex

How the feck are Summer and Amy in the same class?! Amy looks about two years older.. Summer might be a bit monotone but she's a hands down miles better actor than Amy. There was a huge difference in the performance of the two of them in the classroom scene.

What was the "Run for your Wife" thing all about? I must have missed something because I don't remember seeing them organising it or talking about it..... And it seemed completely pointless.....

Maybe for this nonsense proposal wi Michelle and Rob?

I suppose soaps have to be seen to promote fundraising and communities getting together, social responsibility .

I didn't hear anything about it either. It was daft.. a scattering of people when a run like that should've been crowds. What's the story with their reluctance to pay extras??

Purple Mountain

I like the way they haven't made up some elaborate story as to why Norris is missing.
I would have thought they'd have written a story about a dying aunt in Finland or something.

Haha! I remember years ago in Fair City when Suzanne left to save the Orangutans in Borneo or some pish, which seemed outlandish at the time. Until Emily went backpacking in Peru, that is.

She was supposedly 'back in the country' over Christmas whatever that means!

The audience learned from Ken telling Sophie (for some reason) a few months ago that Emily was back in the UK and was looking after her sick niece.

Instead of all that nonsense, if Eileen Derbyshire isn't interested in returning her character should be nicely written out as living out her days adventuring in Peru. Far better than if she returns and just hangs around the street with no plot lines until she suddenly just stops appearing

Yeah I was about to say Sophie and Emily got on really well but I actually think I'm thinking about Sophie and Rita. As Rita is her godmother

I think Ken told Sophie because she would have known and been someway connected to Emily through the church. Sophie is, lest we forget, a Chris-tee-an.

Billy needs to go see someone. He did manage to make his bald crown regrow though, as did Tyrone and Kevin.

SouthernBelle

Sweet Jeebus! How long more do we have to watch the pathetic acting skills of Billy puffing, blowing and grimacing?! :rolleyes:

Robsweezie

That's a very bad dose billy has.

Purple Mountain

Billy the junkie..

Sweet lord Billy is going cold turkey and Eva tells him his drug supplier has left town and offers him herbal tea is she living in the real world?

Why don't they call Dr Ali or an ambulance?

2 episodes & nothing happened! No wonder they’re dragging out the Phelan storyline, literally nothing else going on!

Yeah. It's all fluffing about the place. Millions of people live in England but of all the clinic joints in all of England of course that new doctor should happen to roll up in Weatherfield.

It’s a soap. A very silly one at the mo.

Is anyone else delighted that Sinead and Daniel are together?
I was rooting for them to get back together.
I actually think they have good chemistry.

But we can enjoy the cuteness in the meantime..
Better than Sinead making baked beans for the gormless Chez.

I'm just watching it now. When Maria was talking to Bethany about Craig. I said to myself Bethany you better was out because it sound like Maria has the hots for him!

No I see no chemistry, I think Daniel with Gemma for Educating Rita / My Fair Lady romance would be better

It's OCD. He was discussing it on This Morning recently. He has it because of mixing up the times at Bethany's trial!

I've been dipping in and out so I was bewildered at first .... hes a good actor so hopefully they deal with it properly

gammygils

Billy does a great impersonation of Christy Browne

JP Liz V1

How did Carla know Sinead's size?

freshpopcorn

By any chance will guy that tried to pick up Summer be involved in the development and Pat will blackmail him regarding the bodies in the lake.

So is Billy addicted to Ordinary paracetamol and what did he nearly overdose on?

Did Adam give him stronger pills the last time?

Jikashi

Daniel and Carla did the deed on the couch, and he and Sinéad apparently on the floor.

Something wrong with his bed or is this a clue to a twist that he has his mother set up in his room like Norman Bates?

Postgrad10

Carla used to be Sinead's employer in the knicker factor so I'm assuming she knows her lingerie sizes !:)
