lilyliz · 23/08/2013 19:49

since so many are left and leaving lets have a fat Brenda in the taxi office,could be good fun and lighten things a bit.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 23/08/2013 19:53

"Something elegant from Nigella" - love Sally

Ellenora5 · 23/08/2013 21:08

Haha, she is such a snob, she makes me laugh, garden party indeed Grin

DTisMYdoctor · 23/08/2013 21:28

I'm a bit confused about the reappearance of Beth's niece - didn't her and Chesney split when Katie dumped Ryan?

eddiemairswife · 23/08/2013 23:00

Yes dt I thought Chesney and Sian had split. Where is Baby Ruby? Has Tyrone still got her? Where do Fizz and Hope live? I could do with a map showing who lives where. Is the kebab shop still in existence?

BadgersNadgers · 24/08/2013 07:58

So was that brief note supposed to be Sylvia's exit? Soon there'll just be Steve, Lloyd and some tumbleweed.

I couldn't get past Chesney's nose last night, it's like a parsnip!

Tyrone and Fizz live in Jack Duckworth's house, I can't remember if Tyrone bought or inherited it. Is Tim living with Sally now?

BadgersNadgers · 24/08/2013 07:59

I agree about Fat Brenda, I fancy Pauline Quirke to play her.

Impomea · 24/08/2013 08:55

Yes Pauline Quirk or Dawn French to play Brenda.

I have been worried about Chesney for a while. His eyes are all red.perhaps he has got bad hayfrever.

whatkungfuthat · 24/08/2013 09:05

I vaguely remember Tyrone and Molly buying the house as Jack and Vera were retiring to the seaside but Vera died before they could.

Did Pauline Quirke put the weight back on then?

eddiemairswife · 24/08/2013 09:49

I'd forgotten that Tyrone and Fizz were together! I can't keep up with all the partner swapping.

NuggetofPurestGreen · 24/08/2013 15:59

Pauline Quirke's not fat anymore though is she? I wonder is Fat Brenda related to Fat Elvis on Eastenders.

FannyMcNally · 24/08/2013 19:21

Oooh yes Pauline Quirke! If she's not fat Brenda maybe she could take over the cafe or even the Rovers. Corrie needs a new major player now. The Platts need a rest and so do the Windys and after Rita's and Emily's little cameo catastrophes I can't think who's going to have a major storyline in the next few months. Pauline Quirke would be brilliant as a good friend and confidante but a real force to be reckoned with against people we don't like. E.g. Windys , Tracey, Rob, David etc.

Just going to catch up on last week's episodes. Can't wait to see the hasty exit!

Bakingnovice · 24/08/2013 21:34

Sorry I'm a bit behind but how many times is David going to be in a car crash?! How many times is Leanne going to be praying her hubby doesn't die in hospital (peters near death experience was only 18 months ago)?

With corrie just crap at the moment ( bar royley) and eastenders utter tosh I might have to start watching emmerdale.

Bakingnovice · 24/08/2013 21:39

Oh god. Read the thread back and am crying with laughter at all the jim-isms. Hilarious. I love this thread more than corrie itself. Love remembering all the old characters, even the bad ones.

Ellenora5 · 24/08/2013 21:45

And don't forget about Sarah Lou Bakingnovice, she was in a near fatal car crash a few years ago, Gail should never have had kids, they are the bane of her life, I love emmerdale, come on, join our thread on it Grin

Bakingnovice · 24/08/2013 22:02

I am very tempted Ellen. My sis says emmerdale is fab.

Impomea · 24/08/2013 22:31

Corrie def.needs an injection of some new characters.
I'm not keen on the Sally Tim thing she's looking a bit strange too at the moment.Wardrobe and makeup must be on their hols.Someone had overdone the coral on Sally last night!

Lighthousekeeping · 24/08/2013 22:48

I read the other day that Corrie has lost half its viewers in the past three years. Surely that should be a wake up call?

alemci · 24/08/2013 22:51

that coral on Sal was definitely overkill and the way Tim has practically moved in plus Jenna. is that very realistic?

mind you is anything in soaps true to life.

squoosh · 24/08/2013 22:52

I think Corrie has suffered from things beyond its control such as the actors who play much loved characters dying Blanche, Jack etc.

Now it seems the woman who plays Sylvia is ill, other characters (pretty boring ones admittedly) have 'legal matters to attend to'.

Favourite characters like Hayley is leaving.....

Yes, they need to do something but I'm sure they'll get there.

alemci · 24/08/2013 22:53

and whatever happens don't ever bring awful Mo from Eastenders into Corrie. I would have to stop watching.

alemci · 24/08/2013 22:55

re Chesney's nose: he looks a bit like Spud the scarecrow from Bob the builder. didn't he have a parsnipy nose Grin

whatkungfuthat · 24/08/2013 23:04

It wouldn't surprise me if they lost half the audience in the past three weeks. The Karl business is taking far too long to wrap up, like the John Stape one did. EE do this too, why do they think that viewers have the patience for it?
