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.

Why is it David's fault? (apart from having a personality transplant to not be psycho David anymore)

It's daft! Callum would NEVER show the police the video of Bethany delivering the drugs as he gave them to her to deliver!

Bethany could tell the Platts, they could all go to the police station together. Callum is banged up and they would all live happily ever after...apart from Jason who'll be eating his meals through a straw, until Christmas when he'll be back on solids and the scriptwriters will have forgotten he ever got beat up.

I'm amazed that Todd still has his scar tbh.

It's David's fault because he told Callum that they were on the way to the police station, therefore Callum was able to find a way to cover his tracks again.

OK... i've missed something.

The guy at the factory is Mr Connor? What relation is he to Carla Connor?

He's her dead hubbys cousin thenightsky, I think

He's Michelle's cousin so he's Carla's Cousin-In-Law - is there such a thing? Carla was married to Michelle's brother Paul so Aidan is her husbands cousin.

Robert is ridiculous, I've never known a chef spend so much time on the restaurant floor rather than in the kitchen!!

Shayne Ward's not bad,really. But his character is boring and unlikeable, and I feel he looks a bit like one or two of the other youngish male actors we've seen in it recently.

I thought the same Clawdy, he's not bad at all, but I'll be fed up if this turns into a long running feud with Robert, who, in my opinion should be leaving, he's awful.

A bit of a pointless episode I thought. Nothing much happened to warrant a Thursday showing. I'm wondering how they are going to manage Maria's departure. Last time she was on she was so obviously pregnant that she must be leaving soon. There seems to have been no follow-up to the story of Luke's car; as well as the mystery child-minder there must be some enormous hangar where they keep all the lost cars.........Steve's vintage banger, the camper-van, Ken's, Roy's and now Luke's.

Robert is ridiculous, I've never known a chef spend so much time on the restaurant floor rather than in the kitchen!!

Exactly, and as far as I recall, we never laid eyes on the previous chef...
Worse still, Tracy is standing behind him, permanently, in the Bistro. That's so nonsensical. Last night's episode was very poor. Filling up time with Yasmeen and Mary going on about art classes. Yawn.

I quite like the fillers. Cathy is growing into a lovely companion for Roy, like Hayley so different to him but I can see them developing a lovely warm, but often at odds, relationship.

Shane Ward will, at least, win awards for the most genuine Manc accent as many range from Burnley to Yorkshire (but nothing ever worse than Stella and Carl).

I also didn't think Shane was too bad but the character is dull. Why is he feuding with Robert already - must have missed that? And agree Robert is awful.

Amazed to see baby Miley putting in an appearance though - really thought we'd never see or hear from her again - til she turned up aged 15 or something!!

Why are Wardy and Wiggy feuding already? What the HELL has gone on now? Have I seriously missed a crucial bit of a plot that's going to bore entertain me for months years weeks.

They didn't mean about there, getting to characters to hatr each others guts did they
How pleasant

Also...why was Tracy stood behind Wiggy like she had never heard anything like it in her life?! Her face was utter confusion as to why two people would be so confrontational to each other.

I.Just.Do.Not.Get.It.

Meaa about hate

Mess *

I'm in too much of a tizz here over this. Obviously.

I like Shayne so far, I think he fits in nicely.

There was a silly minor squabble on the street between Tracy and Carla, just their usual, and the two lads got involved. That's why there was the further squabble in The Bistro.

Strange that we never saw the previous chef, but this guy seems to be permanently outside the kitchen, complete with Tracy peering over his shoulder.

I think putting on extra episodes is a bad idea, they need to focus on quality, not quantity. There is a real feeling of stretching out stuff in order to fill time.

Lovely to see baby Miley, Tim is so sweet with her.

I am catching up on the camping bits.

It is like watching a school play.

I also think Shane is doing ok, can't do much worse than Sarah Harding!

I don't know why they are doing the 'Hope' story and culminating it at Xmas, there's enough sadness in the world in RL. They need to do happy stories in my humble opinion

I think putting on extra episodes is a bad idea, they need to focus on quality, not quantity. There is a real feeling of stretching out stuff in order to fill time

I agree. Five episodes is enough, though I'd be happy with three. Six is way too much.

I didn't watch last night's episode and for the first time in more than three decades watching Corrie, I'm not interested in catching up with a missed episode .

Craig has lost a lot of weight!

showing Tony being violent was a bit unnecessary at 8 pm although his opponent was a nasty piece of work
why did Booboo/rover not have a collar on in any previous scenes but once he/she becomes Steve's dog - collar and name tax appear

tag not tax (unless doggies are taxed now )

Wardy and Wiggy love it

I noticed that about Rover too mollie123, but when he got back to the pub the collar was gone.

Spoiler alert! Don't think I like the sound of this.
