I can't find a link, but I'm sure I read an interview lately where the actress who plays Tina says her skin colour is down to her heritage (her mother is Spanish maybe - can't quite remember) so she finds it quite offensive when people go on about her skin colour.

Oh, I see this has been mentioned already!

squoosh · 12/08/2013 00:28

I didn't realise the Spaniards were famed for their tangerine skin.

Ellenora5 · 12/08/2013 00:45

Thanks nugget, don't know how I missed that, I must be getting old and not keeping up to speed with celeb gossip Grin, ds1 was great for keeping me filled in but he lives in the states now and that's gossip on a whole other level Smile

DesperateHousewife21 · 12/08/2013 08:55

I love Tina (well Michelle really) and Mark Wright, they're such a suited couple! Just hope hes nice to her and not like all the other towie rats lads.

NuggetofPurestGreen · 12/08/2013 13:08

Me too Desperate even though I feel a bit silly liking people I don't really know anything about! He was lovely on I'm a Celeb though....

He tweeted this a while back...awww (although the tongue one is a bit much Grin)

It was only after watching Friday's episode that I realised how perfect Simon would be as Lloyd's son. He's got something of a Craig Charles look about him Smile

Begginyouformercy · 12/08/2013 14:27

If Tina's tan was natural would in the insides of her arms be the same colour as the outside? Confused

Cheerio, Headbandy Mandy - that was very quick and sudden though, like they couldn't be bothered dealing with it in the script.

I thought when Eileen and the taxi chaps were chattering about leaving early she said "hairy dart" instead of "early dart". All sorts of things came in to my filthy mind. Grin

On the rare occasions my DP (who is mixed heritage) sees Corrie he always comments on a Simon finding his real parents storyline.

My DP never watches but if he's in the same room the only comment he ever makes is that Simon was swapped at birth.

Wasn't Simon's mother a white blonde?

whatkungfuthat · 12/08/2013 17:49

I didn't watch it then but I did see a tiny bit of the bigamy story and I thought the wife who died (his mum) was white with blonde hair. Not 100% sure though

NuggetofPurestGreen · 12/08/2013 17:51

She was white and blonde yes. Is Simon definitely mixed race though? The actor I mean.

squoosh · 12/08/2013 17:51

Yep she was blonde, Peter is a swarthy sailor, but Simon does look like he's of mixed heritage.

whatkungfuthat · 12/08/2013 17:53

He looks very like my DS1 did when he was little, the same skintone and hair so yes, I would think so. (DS1 calls his hair a Gaddafro, not very PC but it makes me roar)

sonlypuppyfat · 12/08/2013 17:54

We always say that about Simon such a beautiful boy and v good actor but I don't believe him as Peters son

squoosh · 12/08/2013 17:55

Such a bratty character, glad he hasn't had as much screen time lately.

eddiemairswife · 12/08/2013 17:55

WAs Simon's mum a florist?

whatkungfuthat · 12/08/2013 17:56

Yes I think she was

squoosh · 12/08/2013 17:57

Oh she was a bit mean if I recall, didn't Peter jilt Shelley (?) for Simon's Mum?

NuggetofPurestGreen · 12/08/2013 18:02

Well he married the two of them didn't he? The details escape me but he was engaged to Shelly, and having it away with Lucy who he then married for some reason, and then married Shelley anyway? Don't know what happened next [slopes off to Corrie Wiki]

NuggetofPurestGreen · 12/08/2013 18:03

And Tracey worked in her florists too and that had something to do with the whole thing.

whatkungfuthat · 12/08/2013 18:05

How did she die?

NuggetofPurestGreen · 12/08/2013 18:15

Think she had cancer.

Begginyouformercy · 12/08/2013 18:21

Oh, I remember her, Simon's mum. She was once in the Rovers with a huge plaster covering her chin and no-one mentioned it or did I make that up? Mike Baldwin was there too.

whatkungfuthat · 12/08/2013 20:00

Why didn't Tina just chin Tracey?
