Corrie scriptwriters should read this thread (Corrie queens)

[Sleepyfergus]

The old thread is nearly full. Nice new shiny thread here.

Old thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/1684194-Corrie-queens-gather-round

Excellent stuff!
Deidre, Eileen and the belt Marvellous!
Quite liked the Jimmy Somerville soundtrack at the wedding...
With Ken out of it clearly Deidre will be turning into her mother, no storylines just talking high camp nonsense

Very funny tonight.

Muriel Deidre's awful belts are up with Dev's mac and Paul's awful blouson puce jacket.

everytime dev does a bit of detective work the mac goes with him like an old friend.

Can anyone explain to me the actual point of Sally's failed blind date, scriptually? Will 'he' appear in a later episode as an apologetic hunk (but they just haven't had time to write him in and cast him yet)?

Deidre's online belt-purchasing line was genius.

I've been staying off the thread as I am about a week behind, I am just at the episode where Carla catches Rob out over tehlisk theft at the lockup. I seem to have missed a bit somewhere, one minute Rob was working at the bookies and the next he's back at the factory in shipping - what happened there? Has Rob been demoted?

the silk I mean

I cant stand the izzy character and the acting Is awful too. I don't want tina to go, i'd prefer if izzy and gary went and tina an tommy found out the baby was theirs and got to keep him. not sure what the legalities are if he's not theirs but tina wants to keep him. does anyone know?

I would prefer Izzy to go too, dreadful facial expressions!

Loved Deirdre/ Eileen too. Deirdre stumbling down the stairs bumbling into the walls

Just watched last nights ep and some of the acting in the Marcus/Maria/Sean/random gay men scenes was shockingly bad!

I like Izzy the character and actress. Her crying face is unfortunate I agree.

fnniest bit fo me last night was Salleh saying to dev when he said 'Is this..?' 'Yes, Adele, isn't she miserable?' I snorted.

oh yes sally "miserable" line was so funny. isn't she a hateful character?

the Marcus/sean/maria thing was embarrassingly bad. and those two men getting married? actors they are NOT!

btw does anyone know what the 'storylines' are for kevin and ken being absent?

I wonder if the( KK )Kevin Ken actors criminal cases scandle will ruin storylines for long?

Kevin's gone to Germany I think.

No idea about Ken.

oh, who/what is in Germany? his dad?

I don't know, toot. I think it saw it mentioned up thread.

that's ok- I know more now than I did 20 minutes ago.

Yes I think they said his dad has had a heart attack.

I can't stand Mariaand Marcus

I don't like Maria/ Marcus much anymore, they're both a bit drippy.

they did. weird though that he never phones to say how bill is though.

I agree about Marcus and Maria, it all seems a bit pointless and dull.

I agree that Sally was looking great - not sure what the point of the blind date was though.

I always want to laugh now whenever izzy is crying and seeing her non moving head!

I am almost at the point of switching off for the first time ever. It's incredibly bad at the moment, even allowing for them suddenly having to alter scripts because of court cases.

I'm sorry, but I just don't CARE about Tina, Chesney, Katie, Ryan, Sean or Maria. I don't mind Izzy but the surrogacy storyline has been rubbish.

They throw huge storylines at the younger characters whom most people don't like or who aren't up to the job. Or they focus on too few characters for far too long (St Stella).

They sideline most of the veterans who can handle both comedy and tragedy and are believable and who we do care about. When was the last time Norris had a storyline? Probably his half brother, which was the last time Emily got a proper look in, too. I love Roy and Hayley and Sylvia but we know that's coming to an end.
