to think the tina and peter love affair in corrie is bizarre

[Owllady]

Nd off putting
He is old enough to be her dad
And just
Why would she
And why

shake I have the perfect answer. Ken and Kevin were having a secret affair and ran away with each other. Before changing their minds and coming back to the Street.

The actress who plays Tina was interviewed recently (Jonathan Ross I think) and when questioned about her rather 'unusual' skin tone, she swore blind it was natural. Spanish genes apparently.

Ha I remember the Dreary Deidre storyline with the "pilot". He actually worked in Tie Rack at the airport didn't he?

The Peter/Tina slobbery kissing noises make me mute the telly.

Maybe she's related to a Spanish orange.

But I'm old enough to remember when Deirdre was quite a sympathetic character; the nice girl in big specs who always fell for the wrong 'un (Ray Langton anyone).
I actually hate the way they have made her and Gail figures of fun. Their only crime seems to be getting old.

FFS. Rita and Owen? No way. No bloody way. Absolutely not. But the pairing ups in the last few years have been quite bizarre...

Back to the original story in the thread. I think Tina is 23 and Peter is 49. Tina is gorgeous. I'd have a fling with her, and I'm straight.

Hmmmm, maybe there is some remote village in the Sierra Nevada where the inhabitants are orange. The rest Spain just seems tan coloured to me.

Tina on holiday in Spain.

And I have just googled (saddo that I am) and Deirdre is supposed to be 9 years older than Dev - hardly that disgusting.

I like Deirdre, & Gail, I like Rita too, but I think storylines involving women of Rita's age ( late 70's? ) & sex is a bit much, I mean how many women pushing 80 are still thinking about it ? Jeez I'm only 45 & I can't be bothered half the time.

Moomin I think the boak-factor with the Dev/Deirdre shagathon came from the dreadful hammy acting and cringe worthy script rather than the age gap!

RITA AND OWEN!!!

I made up the Rita and Owen story ....it's ok it doesn't happen

This is why my lids hate m I make stuff up that is sort of believable!

Well I agree Dev a a big ham, but don't diss Dierdre. She is going to be fab when they kill off Ken
Ken! Keeennnn!

Squoosh that link is of Tina looking a bit rough outside a dodgy looking tanning salon in Manchester!

Exactly, so much for her 'Spanish Granny'!

I'm just watching it now. Todd is vile and poor Rita!

The age gap with Peter and Tina doesn't bother me. I do think it is a badly written 'convenient' storyline. I like both of them, and I don't like what is being done to their characters.
I think Carla and Peter, as a couple, work well together. Neither is perfect, they are just suited. So, that makes the storyline even more annoying.

Keeeeeennnnnnnnnnn
Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnn

I've got a tear in my eye already

I know it isn't relevant BUT I was once in a bar in Bolton and the actor who plays Tyrone was there. He got bouncers to stop 'munters' approaching him. This is some years back but, pfffft, really?!

and the one who played Kirk was in the nightclub surrounded by good looking young gels.

The bouncers must have had to cover all reflective surfaces for him!

It isn't the age gap I find odd so much as they never spoke a word to each other for years and suddenly couldn't keep their hands off each other.

Does that really happen in real life?

He was SUCH a cunt. I can only hope it was the folly of youth.

I think Norris should be caught knobbing Emily in the shop over the lastest 'Woman and Home' mags.
