Corrie Thread - you know it is bad when the best storyline is about a dog

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

Time to start a new thread. Hopefully by the time this one has finished there will have been a terrible disaster and half the current cast will have disappeared.

At least Jazz-hands-Andrea is on her way out. I'd be grateful if she would take a coach-load with her.

His face has changed, I didn't recognise him til he spoke.

I wish they would 'forget' Simon somehow. Perhaps Peter could enrol him in a boarding school and he can come back in a few years with a new head.

Do you know where it all went wrong with Simon? When they went after him when he ran away to Blackpool back when he was a nipper.

They should have pretended not to notice and got on with their lives.

That was a really good week's summary Thirty. (arr Gareh)

When family ask me what happened in Corrie if they missed it, I struggle for some reason, even in the good old days let alone now!

I was also puzzled about the new garage location.

Here's to another week then.

Saw the spoiler about Simon, ugh. I half hoped he would be left staying with Peter for years, and quietly forgotten.

I don't suppose there'll be any problem with Simon getting his place back at school. How long has he been away? Will Leanne be fined or was he briefly enrolled at a Portsmouth school? We shall probably never know.

That new garage location is like a ghostly apparition that has just appeared by Nick's bistro

Summoned up by Sophie on her laptop, now that she finally got a break from sitting, drooping her head, in Dev's, and gets to do it instead, in a corner of the garage.

I missed the first part of tonight's offering, and thought it'd be quicker to catch up here, but it looks as if there was nothing worthy of comment. I've pretty much forgotten what happened at 8:30 myself. Might as well have been my own life on the screen for all the excitement and intrigue. (Brecon walks the dog in the foggy darkness, stopping off on her way home for sugar and butter. Cliffhanger moment: There are still no bananas in the fruit bowl. Chilling.)

At least we haven't been subjected to Faye practising her songs, as it seems her show was last night.

Place marking.
Not much else to comment on, boring Gary/ Jason storyline.

Mary and her new man is the most interesting thing atm.

Is the new man really going to have a demanding mother or do we think he's married?

Mary has a demanding mother, so new man probably is married. Where on earth does Mary live now?

I'm guessing things won't end well for Mary. She grates on me, to be honest, but right now, anything that gives a break from Alya and her lot, and the grim secret under the Platt house, is welcome.

I think the Nessa character has lots of potential and I like the actress who plays her.

I agree re Nessa. What struck me was how easily she fitted in, iykwim, on her first appearance. I also am looking forward to some light hearted stuff, a break from the grimness of the body under the house story, and a break from the yawnfest that is Alya, Gary and all belonging to them.

Plus she looks like she could really be Cathys sister.

I thought that about Cathy's sister too desperate. It's easy to believe they're really sisters.

I'm afraid I don't care much for Mary. Her character is too unrealistic for a tv soap. Her character belongs on the stage imo.

Agree re Mary, I don't find her funny at all.

Haha, of course Nessa is a stylist! Bit of fun ahead if Audrey gives her a job. I liked Rita asking Audrey for a catch-up in the Rovers. That's Corrie, to me. Not overdone, ridiculous stuff like we have endured, for so long.

I hope the new producer can persuade Terence Maynard to return next year. Tony is one of the more three-dimensional and recognisable character's on the street and I love the actor's chemistry with Beverley Callard.

Terence Maynard is off for a panto break. He's playing the baddie Ebenezer in Aladdin in Sunderland (he already has the creepy beard for it).

It's more than a break, according to this.

I haven't been watching really, it's too annoying, might speed through the omnibus.

Time for a new thread - let's hope that by the end of this one we will have the new producer and some decent storylines.
