he does look great -he must be the same age as the wallpaper in his sitting room :cool:

they seem to have forgotten ken has had a stroke and could do without all sh**e that's been going on and im wondering why all the houses seem to have windows in the front of the house - but the sitting room/kitchen of ken's and Tyrone's that we see doesn't have a window - so what sort of rooms are the front windows in (if that makes sense)

The front rooms are originally the good sitting rooms but there are so many living in the houses most have turned them into bedrooms .

Fizz and Tyrone and Ken and Eileen etc could all do with knocking a wall into the good sitting room methinks:D:D

Nina running a tattoo parlour, that would be a great idea.

There actually is a tattoo parlour at the back of one of the streets added when the set expanded. I think it's on the same building as the barbers or maybe it's beside Speed Dahl.

Remember that time Peter bought an unused downstairs pool hall on the street and they did a stupid ghost story with Kirk and Dev in it? Whatever happened to it? Did it become Speed Dahl?

Everything will stay. The set is quite new, they only moved to Salford a few years ago. I visited the old set in Manchester, was a lovely day, pulled a fake pint in the rovers lol.

Did you get to meet any of the ... stars?

Yes, she seems to have just given up on her art and fashion career in favour of working in a greasy spoon
Does she even go to college anymore?

Nina is designing for underworld now. Carla used some of her designs.

Craig: I'll go first: I solved a Rubik's cube for the first time, well without cheating. Changing the stickers around and all that, heh heh. Your turn.
Faye: Ray tried to rape me.
Craig: (long pause with that big eyed gulping face he makes) okay so the trick to a Rubik's cube is...

Is it just me or is Craig actually creepier than Ray??

Craig didn’t seem to mind one bit she had slept with Ray willingly the first time and cheated on him.

Most soaps exist in a weird bubble. Big topics that people are discussing constantly like Covid, Brexit, Elections etc hardly ever get mentioned.



That is an interesting one now you think of it, soap characters are nearly always apolitical.

Is Dev Tory or labour for eg? Which way does David Platt vote?

A few years ago there was a similar situation, they wanted to move in with her and she basically said piss off, I like living on my own and i don't wany ye here.
Fair play to her would you want them moving in with you?

Id say Dev is Tory and David Platt labour.

Ken Barlow was a labour voter bsck in the 80s. Originally Alf was a councillor when Deirdre ran against him as an independent. The thinking was that Ken encouraged it thinking she wouldnt win and it would split the vote to get the labour guy in.

David strikes me as someone who couldn't be arsed going to the polling station to vote

Where is Izzy's flat?

Where is she and her son, come to think of it?
I think she only appeared twice on the show all through 2020. Vanished with no storyline explanation and nobody ever mentions her again.

As she has pretty extreme underlying conditions in real life is the actress who plays her at work?? I could be very wrong sayin this but I’m only guessing - I know Maria’s young buck was “staying around at Izzy’s” when her n Garehhhh were at logger heads

He looks at Faye with unbridled passion.. I'd say he has to nip home to change his jocks everything she stands within 3metres of him.
I wish he'd close his mouth...
Why wasn't he pissed at her playing up periscope with Ray in the tub?

Izzy's actor's real life health condition would put her at greater risk. I would hazard a guess that Beth's actor is in a similar situation since she hasn't appeared much if at all and often phones Kirk from offscreen to contribute to scenes. Looking down the cast list Moira also hasn't appeared since the start of the pandemic. Other characters like Fiz, Eileen, James and Seb took a lot longer than others to start reappearing.

Seems like a mixed bag with the minors. We've seen plenty of Lilly, Max, Asha, Aadi, Dylan and Sam, but no sign of Ruby, Jack, Liam or the baby characters. Obviously that's at the discretion of their respective parents.

Naturally it's everyone's own business and its all risk assessed, and undisclosed cast members have been positive over the year already.

Yes. Such poor, poor writing. And how were they to make a living? Doesn't Tim part own taxi company? Does hr expect Sally to up sticks and take off? Alĺ so Faye can have her fresh start?

I think Izzy was in bad health even before Covid. It's weird how the show has never made any statement about her, is she still a character or not?
Why is gary not concerned about his son's whereabouts etc?

I’m loving the way the planets are alining to give Ray his comeuppance. A nasty piece of work.

Coronation Street has cast former Hollyoaks and EastEnders star Glen Wallace as Carla's friend Lucas.

In new scenes set to air next Friday (January 26), Carla will be left surprised that her new client at the factory is Lucas, whom she met while living in Devon.

She grabs lunch with him after yet another rejection from Peter, and is impressed when Lucas reveals that he has booked a hotel for the weekend and wants her to join him.

Roy Cropper will then step in to give Peter some hard truths, warning that it could be too late if he doesn't make peace with Carla now.
