Oh no - the Corrie thread is full!

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

Hope no one minds - was just about to post on the thread but it was full.

What DVD? I missed that. Has no one watched it yet then or was it a red herring?

Was having a break when Steve bought the Rovers - missed that bit! I do find Michelle tiresome with all the folded arms and sideways quizzical looks and the shouting. C'mon, in RL you would surely see the position Steve was in and sit down , and er, talk about it..?

The thing about the Rovers though was that he needed someone as licensee (due to his criminal record) and he had only been back with Naggy Michelle 5 minutes, so really not wise to make her licensee. I can understand totally why he chose his mum, but he should have been upfront with Michelle.

I don't think Kym Marsh can act, but she is definitely not helped by the writers, who seem to hate her and give her awful lines. They've made her a complete harridan.

Oh come on everyone! Michelle is terrible. She's dour, shrewish and common in a bad way. Even in happy scenes she's snarling and folding her arms and flaring her nostrils. She really needs acting lessons. Carla is wiping the floor with her in their scenes.

She needs to go back to singing. Oh wait, she was shit at that too.

I agree Michelle is awful, Steve needs to grow a pair and tell her that all that shit isn't down to him and he doesn't have blood on his hands, Peter and Tina fucked everything up not Steve.

I really like Tim as a character now, his "wine tasting" was funny .

common in a bad way

she speaks well of you too!

When she was married to Jack Ryder she lived near me spoke with an affected southern accent.

There's a missing 'and' in that ^

He didn't even tell Michelle he was buying the pub, let alone moving Liz in though. She was happy in her flat working at the factory as Carla's PA, and got manoeuvred into living over the pub and being a barmaid again.

Tim and Sally are really coming into their own. Sally's much better when she's not being needy.

She didn't actually have to leave the flat did she? When she found out about Liz she could have just gone back to it.

No, but Steve was living with her, so if she wanted to stay with him she had to go to the pub.

Maybe she should have just taken the hint.

She wasn't happy working for Carla. She seemed to think she should be running the joint and felt pushed out when Carla brought in Peter as a partner. She was looking for another job at the time that Steve bought the pub.

She could have kept her flat though. I would.

Sally and Tim work brilliantly together as a comedy couple. With her pretentious ways and his caveman manners, it's comedy gold. Both actors are doing a great job and have made them really watchable.

I don't know how kym marsh does not get neck pain her head is constantly tilted to one shoulder whilst she gurns! I can't stand watching her

I LOVED Sally and Tim's 'proposal' scene, neither of them really wanted it but didnt want to hurt the other.

I prefer Michelle without the black eyeliner she looked a lot fresher (although ended up a blubbering mess)
I can kind of see both their sides, Michelle livid because Steve didnt at least tell her but he was in a really awkward position. Ive known of a friends dh having affairs and ive never said anything to this day (they're split now) because it just opens a can of worms and for some reason the messenger always gets shot.

Surely a snob like Sally wouldn't refer to her mid day meal as 'dinner'. She'd definitely refer to it as 'lunch'.

And would she go out with a window cleaner?

I think the beauty of Sally's character is that she gets her snobbery all wrong, a plastic conservatory is the height of aspiration in Sally's world. I am not quite sure how she did end up with Tim but they do work well. At leasy her UPV conservatory will have clean eindoes.

Besides any northerner calling dinner lunch and tea dinner deserves to be fully stripped of their northerness. For ever! [Grin]

What's an eindoe? To add insult to injury spell check now changing it to window!

HildasMuriel love the name, glad there are more of us about who remember that !

Thats exactly it, shes a faux snob!

It seems that Andrea has a husband!

mrscromwell thank you, I grew up on Coronation Street (not literally), so many iconic things to choose from.

Ha. I knew Andrea was married! Clues in the bedside scene when Lloyd was ill. I loved the reluctant proposal scene, too, Desperate. What with Corrie and EE both on top form, I'm in soap heaven

Oh, look, Steve & Lloyd have their own mini-series

Did I miss an episode? Didn't see anything about Andrea being married. Was there one last night?
