They've probably decided Katie is too minxy to be going out with Chesney and will have her paired off with the next hottie or two to come along.

ChocsAwayInMyGob · 03/09/2013 16:29

Why on earth do attractive women keep trying to get Chesney upstairs? First Katy last week and last night Sinead. In Weatherfield he's some sort of stud.

You could understand if it was Peter Barlow. He's dreamy.

I didn't like the way they have written out Sylvia, saying she couldn't cope! They could easily have written a supportive role for her but kept her out of sight. Not fair.

EssexGurl · 03/09/2013 17:20

Wonderfully moving last night. Especially the phone call between Roy and Fiz. No words needed, simplicity itself but so much meaning.

I read somewhere that Hayley wanted to go but Roy wanted to stay. The producers did not feel that there was any way they could separate them without her dying. They are definitely a 'till death' couple. And either they left together or she had to die. It is horrible but at least this way they have time before she goes and it will be a beautiful send off for such a great character/actress. Corrie do these things so well.

eddiemairswife · 03/09/2013 18:21

I agree about Katie and Chesney getting back together for all of 24 hours, also the pointless Sally dating-on-line story. I just wonder if they are writing snippets to fill in where they've had to delete scenes due to off-screen shenanigans.

ChocsAwayInMyGob · 03/09/2013 20:14

Fanny. I sort of agree but I think Stephanie Cole had a health issue and just couldn't do the role. I think it would have been unrealistic if she was off screen but there.

I do agree that they could have come up with something more in keeping with heart of gold character. Despite her snippy remarks, she was very kind.

I reckon they should have done something like visiting a sick relative and breaking her leg while she was there.

I had no idea that all this was going to happen!
I am a lifelong Corrie watcher[most episodes], but always stay away from spoilers, so was shocked actually on monday!.

Though from a plotline pov, I like it.
I have got so fed up with soapland where people get ill, fair enough, some end up in hospital, fair enough. But then we always have the "he may be brained damaged" part, and they never ever are.

SallRight · 04/09/2013 13:06

I'm sitting at my desk eating lunch and keep wondering how Hayley is today and if she is home with Roy yet Sad

Impomea · 04/09/2013 14:40

Think that Carla will be a great support to Hayley cos underneath all the slap and designer gear she has a heart of gold.

I had forgotten about Nick in hosp perhaps the SWs have too.

I dunno about that Carla. She aggressively went after her best friend's husband. She was nice to Fiz and Tyrone though so I'm undecided. And she is being nice to our Ayley too....

It really is all over the place isn't back. No mention of Nick the last couple of eps after weeks of nothing but bedside scenes.

NuggetofPurestGreen · 04/09/2013 19:35

Flippin crying already at Fiz bringing the tea cup. I'm going to be a mess for next few months!!

yellowballoons · 04/09/2013 19:59

I cried a tear on monday. Havent cried over a soap in about a decade.

I am wondering about Christmas day too. Think she may get through New Year though?

NuggetofPurestGreen · 04/09/2013 20:13

In fairness I cry at everything. Was crying at Kat and Whitney's two hander about being abused a few weeks ago (Enders). And obviously bawling at Gennie's funeral and death on Emmerdale. I spend more time crying at soaps than not it seems Smile.

eddiemairswife · 04/09/2013 23:36

Where does Sian work? She always looks very buttoned up.[literally]!

Impomea · 05/09/2013 08:56

Morning all-I think that when they were introduced she said she made soap and sometimes sold it on the market .

No Corrie on friday cause of football got to wait until Sunday again!

DesperateHousewife21 · 05/09/2013 09:29

I love Carla, mainly because I wish I had her hair and wardrobe!

That spoiler is SHOCKING if its true Ill cry.

Wishfulmakeupping · 05/09/2013 09:37

eddie I was thinking the same thing she is always there in that coat its a lovely coat sure but every single day no matter what the weather is?!
I blubbed my eyes out at Mondays episodes the whole thing is very well written all the characters reactions are spot on and I'm glad that they acknowledged that Sally had cancer rather than that being washed over. Shame about Sylvia loved her character but if she's ill in real life then the writers had to do something and I think they are running out of poorly far away relatives

whatkungfuthat · 05/09/2013 12:42

Carla's voice drives me mad. She never spoke like that on Dream Team, her voice was lower and she didn't talk through her nose. She had exactly the same eyebrows though, years before HD brows

DesperateHousewife21 · 05/09/2013 12:55

I reckon Hayley will see the new year, its only 3idh months away!

Peppermintlover · 05/09/2013 13:29

I have had to resort to fast forwarding through all the Hayley scenes!! I blubbed my eyes out on Monday and couldn't sleep Monday night!! My dad died of cancer and it is so brilliantly written that it is too true for life. My sister has stopped watching till storyline over but I can't want to see Karl outed!!!

mind you Wednesdays episode revolved around Hayley so only had about seven minutes to watch!!

eddiemairswife · 05/09/2013 14:19

Corriepedia gives Sian's occupation as 'entrepreneur'.

squoosh · 05/09/2013 14:22

Entrepreneur????

All that girl comes up with is sighs and quizzical expressions.

eddiemairswife · 05/09/2013 14:23

Oh dear. Just looked on Digital Spy. The Hayley story set to get even more harrowing.

squoosh · 05/09/2013 14:25

THANKS eddie, I'll have to have a look now!
