Corrie thread - New thread for the New Year, time for another disaster?

970 replies

New thread in time for the new year - hopefully this year will see the back of some awful characters.

I would personally like to see the following rounded up and shoved in a deep hole in the Red Rec:

Izzy
Anna
Owen
Gary
Michelle
Tracey-Luv
Gavin
Faye
Yasmeen and her entire extended family
The Community Centre
Kylie
Todd
Steph

That'll do for starters.

Not Deirdre!

I'd miss her and her crimes against cooking and pottery.

Jill2015 · 18/01/2015 16:40

Oh I hope she is okay, and that she does come back.
I think she can be so funny, and she is a real mainstay of the Street.

Camolips · 18/01/2015 16:51

I think she should have a year off and then come back on a fairly limited basis like Emily. It would be a shame for her ( and us) to say goodbye forever.

hildasmuriel · 19/01/2015 07:42

I haven't seen this rumour anywhere else so maybe it's just speculation. I worry about what has caused her to go off though.

Tonight is the Minibus of Death episode.

Clawdy · 19/01/2015 09:52

So- Tracey-Luv will be involved in a serious accident,and Deirdre will STILL not come back.... after missing her wedding.They really have to re-think the whole problem,it's now beyond ridiculous.

hildasmuriel · 19/01/2015 10:11

www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-01-18/coronation-street-not-aware-of-any-desire-that-anne-kirkbride-has-to-quit-the-soap more about Deirdre here, not wholly reassuring.

I also posted this initially on the wrong thread, the one about 'Cyberbully' maybe fuelling speculation that Deirdre has left to be an anonymous hacker cyberbully. Beat that one scriptwriters.

Middle aged Bethany has been sacked for looking older than Doreen Corkhill for fibbing about her age.

That's going some, to be sacked before you set foot on the cobbles. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/film-news/coronation-street-sack-katie-redford-8473045

squoosh · 19/01/2015 13:25

Hilarious! Bet they're fuming. But honestly, look at her, she's clearly a grown woman.

hildasmuriel · 19/01/2015 13:32

And would it really matter if she had actually looked 14? Which clearly she didn't!

Threeplus1 · 19/01/2015 14:15

Here's a novel idea.... Why don't they actually find a 14 year old to play her....Hmm

Clawdy · 19/01/2015 14:21

What a nightmare though, to get a part like that and lose it in a weekend. Feel so sorry for her really.

Pastamancer · 19/01/2015 15:25

I doubt they will but it would be fab if they could cast an Italian in the role seeing as she has lived there most of her life and would have the accent.

Threeplus1 · 19/01/2015 15:58

Apparently she's attended an international school in Italy.... Or maybe she'll do what Michelle from eastenders' daughter did when she returned from the States (forgot her name!) and start off with a dodgy foreign accent before waking up one morning with a completely local one!

Jill2015 · 19/01/2015 16:29

I love this! Then again, people often return home with new heads, and nobody even notices Grin.
That is very funny, a twenty five year old surely wouldn't pass as a fourteen year old. I thought even a nineteen year old was pushing it a bit.

AtTheEndOfTheTunnel · 19/01/2015 16:29

It seems that the actress who at 19 was going to be playing 14 year old Bethany is in fact 25!

LineRunner · 19/01/2015 16:47

Vicky, I think.

AtTheEndOfTheTunnel · 19/01/2015 16:51

Oops I should have read to the end of the thread before posting Blush

AnneEyhtMeyer · 19/01/2015 18:15

The 25 year old (who is almost 26) actually looks older than 26. She has wrinkles around her eyes. What were they thinking?

Agree about how ridiculous it is for Deirdre not to come back when Tracey-Luv is involved in a serious accident. Missing her wedding was ridiculous enough, but this is totally totally unbelievable.

Beth didn't get on the bus.

thenewbrunette · 19/01/2015 19:52

Love Sally. "Is it 4 or 5 stars, Marbury Hall?" Still a snob in every situation.

thenewbrunette · 19/01/2015 19:54

Isn't it a bit implausible that Tracy would be on the bus?

LineRunner · 19/01/2015 19:55

Here we go...

LineRunner · 19/01/2015 19:57

Sinead had her seat belt off.

squoosh · 19/01/2015 19:57

At least the crash wasn't Steve's fault. I was worried it would be.

Sinead has to be a gonner.

fixedit · 19/01/2015 19:58

why is steph pretending to be pregnant??
