I think Deidre will have to get a juicy storyline now. She's classy with her laugh that sounds like she's on 40 a day.

heghog · 10/06/2013 11:32

i think they will be bracing themselves to write Ken out so D might get a big story from that. she was funny finishing the wine at Eileen's but cannot really be doing with her and Tracy trauma.

ChocsAwayInMyGob · 10/06/2013 12:01

I think Deirdre has a lot of potential to become as comic as Blanche and they should capitalise on that.

I think Ken will end up dying "offscreen". It's not just the sexual assault allegations, but all the gubbins he was coming out with in the press before that. He's a bit of a liability now.

JessicaBeatriceFletcher · 10/06/2013 12:53

Yes, Deirdre does need to turn into her mother. That was good casting, because they did look like mother and daughter.

CatherineofMumbles · 10/06/2013 12:56

Good thinking re Deirdre! Her and Eileen and the belt were classic, tho' funnier if they don't pretend to be comic drunk

whatkungfuthat · 10/06/2013 14:33

Ken and his kimono is really extra creepy now.

Lighthousekeeping · 10/06/2013 15:39

I'm just catching up. Surely they would have given Jake donor ebm in the circumstances?

SweetestThing · 10/06/2013 15:41

Oh, just spotted on the BBC website that the actor who played Frank Foster has been cleared of the charges against him. I don't think the outcome will be the same for Kimono Ken!

ajandjjmum · 10/06/2013 15:52

Ken isn't in court until January, so they're going to have to come up with something!

CatherineofMumbles · 10/06/2013 15:55

SweetestThing luckily for the scriptwriters, Frank was already dead! Grin. Yet another one to re-story might have made their brains explode...

whatkungfuthat · 10/06/2013 16:00

Perhaps they could give him a coma that he may or may not ever come out of?

CatherineofMumbles · 10/06/2013 16:14

I'd like to see him dropping dead in the library Grin it's the way Ken would have wanted to go Grin
And Kev can just shack up with a fraulein and stay in DE forever...

SweetestThing · 10/06/2013 16:16

Maybe Ken can rekindle his romance with the canal-boat woman and sail off along the Manchester Ship Canal with her :)

Lighthousekeeping · 10/06/2013 16:22

Has he taken the Bain to Germany with him or is he still at the childminders?

SweetestThing · 10/06/2013 16:24

..or being looked after by Aunty Emily?

MissMarplesBloomers · 10/06/2013 16:54

What I can't understand is why people disappear or never get spoken about when they aren't on a current plotline.

I'm sure in times past (when god where a lad & the Rovers still had the Snug) folk used to be seen in the pub, passing in the street or were referred to in passing.

Obviously with Ken & Kev you can't have them wandering in the background I know but the others- Emily...etc

You can get away with a lot of " Oh you just missed Ken, he's gone to get a paper" but to just not even mention him is even more obvious surely?

Although as previously stated a nightmare for the scriptwriters, I can imagine the "Oh FFS!" comments at Corrie HQ today when Bill Roaches' trial was adjourned till January.

DesperateHousewife21 · 10/06/2013 19:08

Is there a curse on Corrie- three actors with allegations?! Hope no more come out the cobbled woodwork.

whatkungfuthat · 10/06/2013 19:52

Karl being in all the right places where Dev is discussing Sunitta is a bit too convenient

Lighthousekeeping · 10/06/2013 19:57

Didn't the butcher get done whilst he was in Corrie?

DesperateHousewife21 · 10/06/2013 19:58

I say I say Fred Elliott?!?

Ladytron · 10/06/2013 20:47

Peter has shaved off his beard and is looking v.hot Blush
And I do believe we had a quick glimpse of Amy AND Eccles!

Gawd I can't bear any of the Windass/Armstrong lot. It's awful but I don't feel sorry for them at all but that is probably because we all suspect the baby is really Tommy and Tina's.

How long before they kick Tina out of the flat?

I think Tina is being awful!!! Just so annoyed with her! How can she think she can keep the baby?!
