I know it's been shit for ages but its just dire atm. I'm a bit behind and stopped watching when bunhead Lauren was getting drunk. Switched back on and she's back from rehab. Was her rehab in the Maldives? I'm sick to the back teeth of her and joey. What a mockery they've made of teen drinking showing her recovered. She's a terrible actress.

Lucy is weird and for an eastender she's got a v posh accent. As has bobby. And Dennis. And Sharon.

And I really don't like how every victim of sexual abuse is portrayed as promiscuous. In one episode we see Kat dragging a guy into an alley for a quickie and Whitney getting into a car with strange men. Not every child victim is like kat and bloody Whitney. Utter tosh. I need another long break from it. I only came back to it cos corrie is terrible these days.

I've always wondered why none of them possesses a washing machine, but then thought that if they did Dot would be unempoyed

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/01/2014 06:55

Lol. I said that on an older thread

And apart from Bradley everyone has a job in the square and goes to pub in their lunch hour and back to work again if I had a drink at lunchtime I would fall asleep

Jaynebxl · 06/01/2014 07:35

Has it already been discussed why Peter and Lucy not only disappeared and came back with different heads but also totally different personalities and really posh accents? And I know it isn't v pc to talk about this but I just wany to give Lucy a slap up meal and tell her to wear a longer skirt so she doesn't draw attention to how scarily thin she is.

And why does the bid horrible dark secret have to be that the boy is gay?! Surely that's not so dark and horrible any more and is v accepted in society. They repeat stories all the time including Whitney being pursued by every new character under 21, phil covering up another murder, dot in trouble. Where's Kim?

LiberalLibertine · 06/01/2014 07:48

Yeah! Where is Kim??

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/01/2014 08:12

Denise mentioned Kim and said she had gone away but can't rem where

Miley you are so right about Ronnie - def a skull :(

Ee seem to make being gay a big deal :(

Everyone buys their food etc from mini mart

Can't they go to sains or tesco and do a big shop and save money - coz my corner shop is expensive

Why has no one had a go Cindy for stealing the money

Jaynebxl · 06/01/2014 08:24

Hasn't Kim gone to Magaluf or somewhere with some bloke she just met? Or else she was in panto while they were filming...

exWifebeginsat40 · 06/01/2014 09:03

i was wondering what happened with Cindy and the money. i think the writers forgot about it and have had to hastily shoehorn it back in.

and, once you've notice Lucy's new eyebrows you won't be able to take your eyes off them. they are mesmerising.

has Carole got Scarlett? Is David staying now? did he get the money from Janine?

and, was Tina Carter in Grange Hill?

LiberalLibertine · 06/01/2014 09:31

Tina was definitely in This Life,I loved that show. She had a crush on Joe who was played by weird Michael who Janine just stabbed, he was much fitter back then.

Think David did get the cash from Janine.

Why do they get up in their own houses, and go straight to the caf for a cup of tea?

exWifebeginsat40 · 06/01/2014 10:03

because the only shop in London (apart from those in the glittering, mythical Up West) is the minimart and teabags are a fiver in there?

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/01/2014 11:42

She played Keira or something like this in this life

Will look at eyebrows tonight. Has she had them hd?

exWifebeginsat40 · 06/01/2014 14:40

she's had them coloured in with a brown marker pen, as far as i can tell. they sort of rest on her eyelids. disconcerting.

mileysorearse · 06/01/2014 14:58

I used to love it when Dennis Sr would buy one of his women an ahhhtfit from Up West that used to come in a great big shiny box like it was a wedding dress instead of some dreadful striped rag.

FeelingTheFire · 06/01/2014 15:20

When is Lacey Turner coming back. I read somewhere Matt Willis is going to be playing her boyfriend Luke.

FalalalalalalaFiggy · 06/01/2014 20:13

Oh god I think I'm in love with Danny dyer I can't be the only one am I??

cavalcade · 06/01/2014 22:27

Sadly I think you may be the only one Grin Waits for protestations and further declarations of love. Though there's little alternative, I suppose, when you consider there's Ian, Phil, Billy etc.

I thought Ronnie was going to be great. But sad to see she proved utterly pointless and am glad she has gone, though I wonder if she's gone for good. Also sad she's gone off with Roxy, an abusive controlling relationship that is if ever I saw one. And yes, I want to take a brush to Ronnie's hair!

cavalcade · 06/01/2014 22:31

Oh yes, Tina was Keira in This Life. She seems to be playing a very similar character now, aside from being a lesbian. Very annoying she was, and still is. I don't believe Joe (Michael Moon actor) would have gone out with her, and not after liking Anna. They seemed mismatched.

Haven't noticed Lucy's eyebrows, but I've been thinking they're styling her hair rather badly lately. It looks in need of a good cut and condition. (obsessed with hair tonight!>

MinkBernardLundy · 06/01/2014 23:28

Yes Alfie was in prison when Michael knocked Kat up. he didn't even know she was pregnant until she was about 7 months and he found her on the square.

But as soon as she fell I thought must be twins and the fall was just to shoe horn in early scan. But it must be very early...when was the wedding?

ronnie's hair does need a brush. but was the whole car crushing scene not a bit mental. if it were that easy everyone would do it and no one would get rumbled nevvah. and the driver is totally not going to remember some deranged looking blond watching him.and then leaving on foot.

The scene between Maz and Denise was the only decent scene for weeks.

what has actually happened with Carole has she heard?
And why is Terry still there I thought him and Iana split up?

wakemeupnow · 07/01/2014 10:54

Danny Dyer looks and acts like a total stoner. He barely opens his eyes or mouth and has a puffy, barely awake look about him.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/01/2014 10:58

didnt expect her to come back, didnt she bugger off as had enough from ian, did they get divorced? can ian marry denise legally?

and whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhy does danny dyer wear the pink dressing gown??

GwendolineMaryLacey · 07/01/2014 11:04

Ronnie is coming back, she's on a break as her original contract was for 6 months, then she signed a new one. I'm sure I read somewhere that's she's off for 6 months so i guess Roxy will come back on her own. Confusing...

I love Kat. so her :)

Can't abide any of the new family, except Nancy who I think is quite funny. Ian and Denise? I mean, wtf, I thought Denise had more sense apart from that that whole serial killer thingy

It is a bit bonkers at the moment.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 07/01/2014 11:04
  • so ner :)
LiberalLibertine · 07/01/2014 11:39

Think Jane and Ian got divorced didn't they? Or did they not actually get married? Hmm

Denise and Ian is just crap, he's not her type. (Is he anyone's?)

LiberalLibertine · 07/01/2014 11:40

I like Danny dyer though.

Firekraken · 07/01/2014 20:04

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with Ian? When Jane just sat down with him and he said 'you know don't know' - she knows what?

also, who was the ring for? not denise?

sorry for asking. if anyone can fill me in that'd be great.
