Corrie thread - we haven't even got a dog storyline to keep us going now

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

A new thread as we head towards the worst part of every soap year - Christmas.

Dreading the return of Simon.

Dreading more of the arr Gareh & Alya "plot".

When did the brewery close and become a convenient empty garage?

Make yourself at home and get ready for more totally hopeless acting - it has to improve soon, surely?

Shouldn't Aldi and Asda be at secondary by now not starring. in the nativity play. Very silly

How does Johnny know that Carla's saliva is on the envelope? Could be anyone's!

Just read a summary here of next week's stories and I agree they're lame. EastEnders is going to wipe the floor with Corrie this Christmas.

He watched her lick it. Kevin has been on holiday, used a sunbed or had a spray tan.

Would there be enough saliva on an envelope for a commercial test? I did an ancestry dna test a few months ago, I had to fill a whole test tube with spit!

Did I fall asleep and miss something last night - I thought Anna and the other one who's name I've forgotten were only going to the singles night to keep Liz company, yet Liz didn't go

Was the point of the singles night to raise the possibility of Anna and Kevin getting together?

I think so, Eddie. Still why Liz didn't end up going though!

Liz needed to be around, in case Johnny needed her .
She (bizarrely) appeared on the street, as he was at the post box. What were the chances...

Just read that Derek Griffiths is joining the cast in January. He has got to be better than most some of them. I remember him on Playschool, and my 5 year old self thought he was excellent in that.

Kylie actually went upstairs to fetch Lily in tonight's episode, and she made a live appearance earlier this week. Perhaps the writers have heard all the comments about her invisibility.

Why do they all think that Callum is going to come back for Sarah's baby (which he doesn't even know she is upduffed with) when as far as they know he can't be arsed with max?

Because he spent the last few months fighting for custody of Max, and because he hated them all.

Agree with Anne that the casting of Derek Griffiths is promising.

Oh god, Kylie and David splitting up is almost a Christmas tradition on Corrie. Round and round on the merry round we go..

I don't know anything about professional kitchens, but surely it was out of order for Tracy to be in there last night. I noticed that the other chef was allowed to speak.

Yes, it does seem to be a case of 'here we go again' with David and Kylie doesn't it? FWIW, I thought their last scene yesterday was really unconvincing.

Now off to google Derek Griffiths as I have to admit I've never heard of him.

Derek Griffiths from Play School? He's the first black man I ever saw (sheltered life...)

He spent years acting alongside Jemima and Hamble, so he's perfectly trained to deal with the wooden actors on Corrie.

Yes, and Head, Shoulders, knees and toes and play away.

Christ David and Kyle.....again. So, so, so dull. The writing is tiresome and lazy.

Just saw one of the trailers..
Nick to Carla "Nothings going to go wrong"

Well that's you going to Hell in a Handcart then Nickers

This Good Samaritan thing is a complete load of shit

"Oh, your teas always come with a little bit extra , why is it never a biscuit"

Tracey Luv to Ken (he's giving advice/pep talk/nagging her )

I think the little girl who plays Lilly looks exactly like the little girl who plays Hope. I wonder if they're related.
