I can't stand Jenna. So boring.

eddiemairswife · 16/07/2013 23:05

I'm getting concerned about Faye. She MUST be in Y6 yet nothing's been mentioned about her secondary school, unless Anna has forgotten to apply. Maybe they could have a story about them going to Appeal.

ExitPursuedByABear · 16/07/2013 23:19

The children all play upstairs.

LineRunner · 16/07/2013 23:36

And listen to tapes

AnneEyhtMeyer · 17/07/2013 07:47

And can age several years and get a new head after a few months of playing upstairs.

Bakingnovice · 17/07/2013 09:13

What was the point of bringing in Jenna and headband? So boring. I just cannot cannot warm to Faye. Horrible child.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 17/07/2013 14:49

They don't need to apply eddie - Bryan will just send all the details from Bessie St to Weatherfield Comp.
The only school application drama has been Liam on Eastenders.

Just like there's no waiting list for Nursery or Childminders Grin

Wishfulmakeupping · 17/07/2013 22:26

Agree about Jenna think to be honest its not the character as much as they've miscast the role iyswim

Ellenora5 · 18/07/2013 02:05

I don't like Jenna or her mother, there is no point to them really, Lloyd has a daughter out of the blue and the daughter ends up being Sophies physio and lover and loses her job because Sophies parent are knobheads, but now it's all hunky dory, and all past doings have been forgotten, ah no it just annoys me Angry

Now to Norris and Emily, has Emily really signed over her house to Norris or is it all a joke to make him realise how easy he has it, tonight the palaver with all the bills for the householder and Rita and Emily grinning at each other made me think it's a wind up, and I would have thought that someone signing over a house to someone else would at least require the other persons signature on some sort of a legal document....(I'm planning on getting a life soon, really, I am Smile )

DesperateHousewife21 · 18/07/2013 08:19

Agree Jenna is boring and I find her mum very stroppy/ always complaining about something.
ALso shes gone from the pub cook thing to a barmaid being left in charge!

I was wondering about Emily/ the house too, the bill in the bistro was def a wind up but not sure about the house, its hard to tell when Emily is joking or not!

whatkungfuthat · 18/07/2013 08:34

The house thing bugs me as (according to the link posted upthread) some of it actually belongs to Gail due to Richard Hillman giving Emily the money for Spider.

I agree about Jenna being miscast but I also think that they should have got Tikkabilla woman for Mandy, who looks a bit like her. She used to be in Brookside and has a much better acting range than just angry or exasperated, and would have been more believable with LLoyd.

LineRunner · 18/07/2013 08:43

kungfu, has a much better acting range than just angry or exasperated

Yy, this is what I think about a lot of the characters at the moment.

Paul the Fireman. Anna. Owen. Gary 'Anger Management'. Izzie. Faye.

Bakingnovice · 18/07/2013 09:15

Ellen - no, in soap land property is transferred verbally, without any documents, exchange of money or proof of ID. Remember Gail's house? David and Julie became legal owners banishing Gail to the box room 15 minutes after Lewis fled with the money.

whatkungfuthat · 18/07/2013 09:36

Line you are so right, especially Owen the Tiny Thug. Hate the way that Anna revels in his thugery, telling him she thought he was the heavy mob and getting him to put the frighteners on Tim who is about a foot taller and a decade younger

Ladytron · 18/07/2013 13:36

Just as an aside to this ^ important stuff, how hot is Peter looking recently? Loving the waistcoat/flecks of grey in his goatee combo Blush
Not to mention when Eccles was jumping all over him last night!
He's always been my fave

Exmum · 18/07/2013 13:43

I quite like the men's bogs in the Rovers. I'd never have expected them to be so clean nice.

Exmum · 18/07/2013 13:44

Grin That's exactly what I was thinking, Ladytron but was too embarrassed to say Blush

Exmum · 18/07/2013 13:46

Just as an addendum to my last two posts, I would but not in the men's bogs Wink

MortifiedAdams · 18/07/2013 13:47

Watching on catch up....who was that random bloke in the background at the factory?!

Wishfulmakeupping · 18/07/2013 13:58

Yes ehatkungfuthat I'm trying to think of who would have been good as Jenna no one popping to mind but it would have been someone younger (no offense to the actress who plays her!)

Wishfulmakeupping · 18/07/2013 13:58

Offence even

garlicagain · 18/07/2013 14:08

Oh, thank goodness someone said it first! I absolutely can't stand Peter, and he's not even my 'type' physically. But ... he's has been getting very tasty lately Blush Is the actor shaping up for a role in something else as a dashing hero type?

I think Jenna's pretty - and she and Mandy both have lovely voices - but, gawd, the pair of them are boring!

I want more Deirdre being acerbically, hilariously, tipsy. And Craig's Accidental Hero episode to come quickly, please!

ssd · 18/07/2013 14:14

what happens to Hayley, does anyone know? I like her and Roy.

Impomea · 18/07/2013 14:21

Hi sorry to butt in .Love this thread and love Corrie (although quite boring at the moment)
How old is Amy ? How much did Tracy steal from her account ?
I am trying to work it out if Ken was putting in £25 per month.Also I don't
think that they would have been daft enough to let Tracy be a signatory on it.
Must get a life!

Bakingnovice · 18/07/2013 14:26

Deirdre is hilarious without ken. A particular favourite moment of hers recently was when she was walking Eccles on the red rec in the middle of the night, fag in hand, and spotted Roy sleepwalking.
