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?

I'm sure I've read rob is going to cause trouble from prison, so not sure he is being released. Of course, that's SOOOOOOOOO much more realistic.

I was going to say, they might have to reconstruct the set they used when Peter was in prison , for Rob.

Minus Jim, who has been forgotten about again.

I thought they borrowed those prison sets from Prisoner Cell Block H, complete with wobbly walls

Haha, maybe .

Spoiler linked re Carla.

Steph can be really funny but she gets such dreary storylines.

I agree. I like her, and I like Andy too. I think they would carry a (decent) storyline far better than some of those selected to carry major storylines.

I forget why Michael moved in with them. Had he not been living in Eileen's ever expanding house, after leaving Gail (who, thankfully seems to have forgotten him)?

I liked the scene with Tony leaving where he and Eileen hugged one another, there was real warmth there, especially as she wasn't best pleased when he first appeared. I'm sorry that he left.

That whole pretend Gavin/Gail's 5 minute marriage was such a pointless bore, why did they bother with it?

I can't even remember why Gail and Michael split up, or why Michael and Eileen parted.

I think he may have split up with Gail because she knew about Gandy, but he is living with Gandy now so that's rubbish.

Yes, I think that was it, and him then living with Andy, who was the one who started the whole fake Gavin thing, is utterly ridiculous.

Shane Ward's coat !! WTF ?!

I know KenDodd
What a monstrosity, it looked like an old blanket that's been dug out the back of his nans airing cupboard and had buttons put on it. Yuk.

Carla looked as fab as usual tonight. Loved her leather jacket.

These factory stories are so boring.... got a big order, you've all got to work overtime.... objections from people who have things arranged....everyone mucks in, job completed, drinks on Carla in Rovers.

what was all that about with micheal and that woman i think my eyes must of glazed over cos i missed something

I wondered if Michael had burgled her house during his criminal phase, and had an attack of conscience, when he realised she was so nervous about security. The address certainly rang a bell with him.

It's impossible to imagine Michael as a burglar, he's such a wet, dithery sort of character.

Micheal is just bloody awful I hope he's one of the first to go when the new boss starts!
This Luke/Steph storyline needs resolving ASAP too.
I do like Carla and Nick together though although she's leaving soon isnt she?

Iv got a soft spot for Michael

Iv heard Carla is going, buy they have brought that girl in now and I'm really not sure what she adds to it all...

he's such a wet, dithery sort of character.

Exactly.
How he has two women fighting over him, is beyond me.

When Ken took Eccles for a walk the other day he(she?) started sniffing and scrabbling just by Gail's new annexe. I wonder why???

Interesting eddie. I have to admit that didn't register with me at the time but now you mention it...

Yes good point eddie I wondered what the point of that was didn't get it either until you've said hmmm

Although I am trying to mentally block out that entire storyline and callum as a character altogether

Yes, I wondered about that too, was it supposedly that Eccles could smell something.
