Steve is going to buy back the rovers and Liz is coming back from Spain[again!] to be landlady. That must mean that Karl, Stella etc. must be leaving.

Isn't Les bankrupt and got done for drink driving, or was that in Corrie?

Steve going back in the Rovers means boring shiny-haired Michelle will be going back too. What will happen to poor Eva and doesn't Glo own the Rovers really, not St Ella now?

I'd totally forgotten Hayley was on holiday! Hope they're having a lovely time.

Leaving Rita's make-up off was pretty basic, but generally, I think she's aged lately.

Really eddie?

ooh really eddie? is this true? that would be good (both liz coming back and stella and carl leaving)

@ at not asking for canesten in front of vera!!

read it somewhere about Steve.Just looked up Bruce Jones[Les B.] It's very sad; he's had alcohol problems, lost his home and is working as a garage mechanic.

It was back in about 1996/97 I think. He was doing an appearance at the nightclub I worked at. He was drunk already when he arrived and had some very rough looking mates in his party. Not bad work though if you can get it, a few hundred quid for letting pissed teenage girls sit on a middle aged mans knee for a photo

The actor has had all sorts of problems with alcohol over the years. I last saw him in the papers for trying to make his wife crash their car by grabbing the steering wheel as she was driving in North Wales (where he lived in a caravan at one point but not sure about now).

I hate Anna and Owen!!! Who the f**k do they think they are telling Tim to move away and then letting Faye think he doesn't care about her. Grrrr.

Glad he's staying now just to annoy them.

I too hate Anna, she's a brassy mare!

Didn't mind her before when she got nice after the husband went to Germany. Hate her now. Hate all that clan wish they would all move to Newcastle now to get away from Tim.

I didn't watch it when the Windyarses were horrible, what did they do exactly?

I didn't think they were horrible- he was seemed to be a complete workshy lazy arse who didn't wash and gary was in the army for a bit. anna just smiled a lot and ran about after her useless husband.

one thing I never understood was why they suddenly wanted to adopt? was it just so that steve and becky had a bit of comptettion?

Mr Wyndass was useless but could bake amazing cakes !!

Didn't they harass Tina's Dad, who ended up taking his own life?

oh yes I remember that!

oh I remember the cakes I mean.

what did they do to him? I thought he took his own life because he owed so much money to a loanshark and had stolen/taken/borrowed money from gail without her realising?

They were a bit lairy when they first came into it, wouldn't pay for the kitchen Joe put in their house, so David and Tina and Graeme set fire to the kitchen and then Gary came round the Platts and did the same. Gary was a bit of a thug as well wasn't he, in prison for something but he got nice after he left the army and had the PTSD and started going out with Izzy. Soap nice I mean obviously he's awful really.

Can't remember why they wanted to adopt either. But then Eddie changed his mind and went off to Germany instead.

Corrie was so much better then I miss Graeme.

Hate Gary .

Thanks, I started watching it again before the tram crash, just before Eddie went to Germany and when Ryan went off to uni (before he morphed into Mini-Barrowman)

I liked Graeme too but that pretendy then real marriage was rubbish.

Graeme was great, wish that cowbag Xin had never come into it.

Yeah I hated that storyline about Xin and Graeme, it was awful, poor Tina. And she was so nice about it when she found out. Think she's better off with Tommy though he's more suited to her (if they ever got to actually spend time together rather than him just having a lager in the Rovers when she's working).

Why do the actors that have really good characters leave then end up doing bugger all? Note: I am not talking about Helen Flanagan here, she was dreadful

Yeah where's Graeme gone? I always wonder do they just think they're really good and are bound to make it big in Hollywood and have ideas above their station. Not that some of them aren't good actors but it's hard to get rid of the soap opera actor tarnish (wrongly imo

According to his website, he's touring the country with The Full Monty

oh Graeme was brilliant! bring him back please corrie!

there is a man who works in my local asda that looks very like Graeme. reminds me of him everytime I see him.
