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

Can I join this thread pleassse? [Grin]

I agree that Corrie has gone a bit poo but still continue to watch it!

How long before Karl gets what's coming to him? He really gets on my nerves. Plus Stella really is an idiot for taking him back.

Izzy is the worst actress ever on Corrie

Could Charles Dance be the secret half-brother and Michael Gambon be Roy's dad?

I could happily get rid of a lot of the characters, particulary Izzy, Faye (and her bloody annoying dad), leanne and Tracey. I am wondering what the point to Tommy is really apart from looking miserable

I still really miss Blanche, although I do love Roy and his mum

Okay, kiss lunge obv startling, and not good, but Tina does seem to be going overboard about it - surely given all the heightened emotions of everyone she could just see it as a moment of madness, and forget about it...?

ooh, I think Tommy earns his keep in the show

OOOH...a lovely new thread...

So Glo has been sitting on 80 grand all this time and never said a word, I don't blame her, I would have been well gone by now, away from the painful Stella and Carl and dreary Eva, does she ever smile. Tina should have punched Garys lights out and then told Izzy everything. He is going to have another breakdown soon I reckon.

I think Tina is worried that she is going to be left with the baby if it all goes tits-up between Izzy and the fugly one. Glo had a nerve still having a go about Leanne not helping Stella. She could buy in and own half of the pub then she wouldn't be a burden on anyone, and she'd still have cash left.

I wish they would get on with the discovery of Karl's guilt. Also, Eva is another one with a new mystery wardrobe of --shaite- glittery clobber.

Gloria's £80k was a bit out of nowhere wasn't it? What's that all about and where's it leading I'm wondering?

Do you think the shenanigans with Kev and Ken have left the scriptwriters in a bit of a pickle? At the minute it's as if they've thrown all the story's up in the air, picked them up, put them in any order and allocated them to any random character.

Can't understand why Roy didn't find out who the estate agent was who sold the house and try and find his dad that way.
I get annoyed when something so obvious (to me) is missed.

Muriel Yes- I thought that- surely the obvious place to start looking.

I've found him!!! He's actually Carl St John Cropper and lives in St. Albans. How do I contact Roy?!!!

I miss Blanche too! And it's maddening that they're trying to set up startled-eyes glo as the new Blanche. I quite liked sue Johnston till she started in corrie. Funny one liners don't work on a frozen face.

Baking

I'm near St Albans, I'll look out for old men carrying canvas shopping bags

Has ken been suspended/taken off screen then?

Think so, yes

Oooh lovely new thread that doesn't take 5 minutes to load!

I've said it before but it's worth repeating - if Karl doesn't get his come uppance and Sunita's name isn't cleared within ONE WEEK that's it. I'm not watching any more. Totally ridiculous drawn out painful viewing. SCRIPTWRITERS!!! ARE YOU LISTENING!!!

Ahhhhh....my spiritual home .

I know no one in real life who watches Corrie

Or will admit to it Gobbo!

Sole, agree Izzy is pretty bad, she only seems to have one dimension...wooden.

What has happened to Karl's guilt?????. At least initially he seemed guilty for setting fire t'Rovers and 'readjusting' Sunita's life-support tube. Now he looks totally guilt free and is sending Glo on a guilt trip for not coughing up the money! The blazen cheek!!!

I just watched for an hour and fastfowarded EVERY SINGLE BLOODY SCENE except the Roy Cropper storyline. And even that was a chuffing let down! Fed up with it now

Yup - agree that some of the story lines are tortuous.

Can't be bothered with Gloria and Eva and the tiny, greasy looking, fireman makes me want to be sick.

I'm liking the Roy storyline ATM though. Not seen Emily for ages though - maybe the storyline will be her running of with Ken

I have no idea why Gail has the odd personality transplant - it's weird.

Tommy earns his keep eye candy

I hope Karl gets the elbow soon - it's making me very stabby.

Paul is Luverly .

I know what happens re Roys Dad - so no speculation from me.

But have to agree, the storylines are being dragged out beyond a joke right now... it's painful.

... and yes, I miss Blanche too!

Very far fetched to think that Glo would have £80k she was never expecting and not give £15k to Stella when she was desperate.

It's so boring this week, filler in storylines to make up for Ken and Kev being out of if, hmm we could start our own soap," KevandKen what happened next" rather like a Damon and Debbie (brookside, years ago) I'm so old hope someone else knows what I'm taking about

I reckon there will be flurry of good storylines in September, babies being born, Karl being found out, Dev will reappear with teenage twins causing havoc because we know they grow up so quickly in soapland, Katy and Chesney will have a custody battle over Joseph and he will win and live happily ever after with Fiz and Tyrone because Katy is far too pretty to stay in soapland and will make her fortune elsewhere.

Right I'm off to get a life now, or change channels every now and again!!!
