Have you got tissues for Corrie tonight?

[Lighthousekeeping]

Vera leaving the cobbles really made me blubbing. I'm not sure if Hayley's departure will make me feel the same?

Martin's still alive MrsSteptoe. Allegedly anyway, I'm a bit suspicious given he never shows up for anything including his son's wedding, grandchild's christening etc.

Carla has two dead husbands and a dead lovair.

The residents of Coronation St are unusual in that they have a higher ratio of untimely deaths to divorces than the rest of the population. Multiple untimely deaths in some cases and multiple marriages are not at all unusual. In fact hardly anyone seems to die in the normal course of things.

Hopefully the much married Ken Barlow will be an exception in dying an unremarkable death offscreen at a reasonable age.

As to what to do with a dead spouse, that lot have been widowed so many times they should open an undertakers never mind instruct one.

I have just read about Kevin coming back. I really don't see the point, particularly if it's going to mean a face-off between him and Tim to see who is the best caveman

I can't see what they can do with Kevin's character. Are Stella and co living in his house?

Didn't Roy Hudd play the local undertaker? I think he was one of Audrey's admirers.

Yes, Archie Shuttleworth wasn't he? He could really do with opening a branch in the street.

Just marking place in thread if this is going to be the new corrie one! I missed it last night. :(

Place marking. I didnt like that they were all round at their flat. It looked too crowded and Roy looked so lost :(

Noooo not Kevin!

How did Mark Bayliss get nominated for best newcomer in Corrie? He's fairly average surely and very annoying paired with Tracey. And has he been in it less than a year?

I suppose his competition was Jenna and her ma so not too surprising really.

I mean at the NTAs.

Leannes' face is more miserable than Roys', why they are shifting the focus this week to her and Nick is beyond me!

I was trying to add up the amount of deaths of spouses, boyfriends, girlsfriends of the people who are in it at the moment

Rita and first hubby Len
Rita and second hubby Alan
Rita and third hubby (can't remeber his name but he had a brain tumour)
Deirdre and first hubby Ray
Deirdre and second hubby Samir
Audrey and Alf (not sure if there was another one) was she married to Fred? or just had a thing for him
Emily and Ernest
Gail and Richard
Gail and Tinas Dad
Dev and Sunita
Carla and first hubby who ran the factory
Carla and Liam
Carla and Tony
Carla and Frank
Maria and Liam
Maria and Tony
Peter and ? (Simons mum)

And of course our beloved Roy and Hayley

I'm sure there are more

Yes I'm bored

Gail and Brian
Tracey and Charlie

Michelle and Ryan's dad
Ken and at least one wife
Fiz and John Stape
Tyrone and Molly
Kevin and Molly
Kevin and Alison (?)

Ashley and Maxine
Claire and Ashley

Steve is the only one who's managed to divorce all his wives like a normal person.

Liz and Norris have been divorced not widowed.

Wasn't Norris married to Derek's ex-wife (as in Mavis and Derek)? Angela or something?

Yes, can't remember which one was married to her first though.

Judy Mallet (can't remember husband's name), and someone connected with Natalie (Denise Welch). Val (Ken's 1st wife) electrocuted by hair-drier, 2nd wife killed herself.

Des something was married to Denise Welch. Des Barnes?

Des Barnes! He was meant to be a sex symbol!

I think his first wife was called Stef? When they moved into the street they were the trendy upwardly mobile couple.

Stef is now the police chief in Scott and Bailey.

Des Barnes was married to Carla in real life.

I'm ashamed at how much Corrie trivia exists in my brain.

Is Des Barnes' first wife in Scott and Bailey? Not Suranne Jones, the other dark haired one.

Whatever happened to that actor who played Des Barnes? I've never seen him in anything else. My mum saw him at Granada Studios once and she came home with an autograph.

Although tbh I think we've seen a lot of Corrie people at Granada Studios!
