Oh okay RubberBullets that doesn't sound too bad. Wish a few more of them would leave for pastures new, ie all the Windasses/Armstrongs, Karl, the Platts, TraceyLuv etc etc etc and not Hayley/Sylvia/Gloria!

Becky has done well though and Raquel used to be in everything. I can't really think of anyone else off the top of my head. Oh, that other one that was with Steve. Karen. Gets great roles.

Why didn't karl just say to the kid. the fire couldn't have been started by a ciggy it was started in the cellar the police have evidence, you don't need to be worried. telling him that he did start it is obviously gonna explode later into a big confession - Karl is a complete idiot.

I am amazed at how many of you seem to fancy Steve - i mean he's a very funny bloke but I see him more as a brother than a lover - i feel like I've grown up with him.

I saw The Full monty and it did indeed have graeme in it - he was very funny. Grin

Raquel was great in Last Tango in Halifax last year. Joanne Froggatt from a few years ago (Zoe?) is in Downton Abbey. So is Liam (can't remember the actor's name).

The year that Graeme left I watched him on a This Morning interview. He said that when he was given the part he wrote himself a note about not getting comfy and staying for years. That is why he decided to leave. He did sound all 'I am destined for Hollywood' about it at all.

BadgersNadgers · 18/08/2013 21:39

there is a man who works in my local asda that looks very like Graeme

There's a guy works down the chip shop, swears he's Elvis

Sorry, have had wine Blush

BadgersNadgers · 18/08/2013 21:42

hippychick you're so right, Peter Barlow is proper lovely but Steve does look like that bloke out of The Office when he's in Pirates of the Caribbean and has a wooden eye. I love Steve but I would never, ever go there.

Lighthousekeeping · 18/08/2013 21:46

Appart from Peter who would you shag though? If push came to shove? It would have to be Steve.

"Appart from Peter who would you shag though? If push came to shove? It would have to be Steve."

well before recent revelations I would have warmed tommy's bed for him but not now!

Jason- i'd shag Jason. or his RL brother (adam in emmerdale)

BadgersNadgers · 18/08/2013 22:01

Adam and Jason sandwich Grin

Was going to say Peter Barlow mayonnaise but that would be dirty.

filthy badger!

Lloyd!

BadgersNadgers · 18/08/2013 22:27

What! Lloyd? You'll be Mandy headband's sloppy seconds Envy

NuggetofPurestGreen · 18/08/2013 22:32

Yeah there's not too many options really is there? Jason I
suppose. I actually used to fancy Gary before he got all weird with the baby storyline I'M SORRY OKAY.

NuggetofPurestGreen · 18/08/2013 22:36

Yeah I remember that interview with Graeme actually and he wasn't all bigheaded. There are a few actors who've done really well from soaps but just can't think of any other than those mentioned upthread. Tamsin Outhwaite from Enders was in a few things but haven't seem her in ages. And thingy from Emmerdale that Debbie was lesbians with is or was in Doctor Who wasn't she. And Michelle Ryan did okay for a while.

Okay loads of actors from soaps do okay it seems Grin

NuggetofPurestGreen · 18/08/2013 22:38

hippy I thought it was because he didn't want Craig telling anyone he saw Karl coming out of the pub so he's trying up scare him into not saying anything about it at all? But yes he is an idiot.

DesperateHousewife21 · 19/08/2013 07:59

Whenever I see old corrie actor/esses I only oicture them with their corrie name. Like Karen Steves ex shes been in Scott and Bailey but she will always be Karen to me (barren Karen remember that??)

Impomea · 19/08/2013 08:53

Think Corrie could do with an injection of new (hot) male actors.

Eva needs a sexy man, especially as she has gone all kind now ,and what about someone for Deardrie ( and me ) to lust after? May I suggest Sean Bean ?

DTisMYdoctor · 19/08/2013 09:59

Ewwwww, just caught up on Friday's episodes. All that snogging between Sally and Faye's dad made me feel quite ill! One cheeky one night stand and they're all over each other in the street in the middle of the day?

YY to needing an injection of new characters. So many of them are so tired an insignificant these days. Where are Tyrone and Fizz these days? Not that I've missed them. I quite liked them both years back, but Fizz in particular is dreadful these days.

whatkungfuthat · 19/08/2013 10:09

My cheeks are aflame typing this but I saw a bit of 'Strippers vs Werewolves' (its a spoof, honest) from the horror channel. It had Rob in it as a terribly-acted punk werewolf. I am going to make DP watch Cockneys vs Zombies as punishment.

eddiemairswife · 19/08/2013 11:50

How about Bill Nighy to be Drearie's new love interest?

DesperateHousewife21 · 19/08/2013 12:21

God what a pair they'd make!

Has Gary and Izzy got Orla Kiely wallpaper or rip off get them!

ajandjjmum · 19/08/2013 13:29

Weren't Ryan and Rob supposed to be the new 'hot' men on the street - now that didn't exactly work out according to plan!

whatkungfuthat · 19/08/2013 13:36

Desperate I think its because Izzy is supposed to be a bit 'arty' iirc

DesperateHousewife21 · 19/08/2013 14:33

And earns a mint sewing knickers apparently!
