Surely not much longer to wait now until the new producer starts? Things must improve, mustn't they?

Hanging on by my fingernails at the minute.

Corrie at its best, still to this day was The magnificent Blanche when referring to Roy and Hayley "he's a loony and she's a man"

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 13/02/2016 10:02

I think that is what it is missing a Blanche or a Silvia or even a Dierdre. The young ones have always bern pretty boring and the 30 somethings just have boring reltionships and affairs.

Sally and Tim are carrying the whole thing these days. I love her silly cowness "it looks better if I have an assistant"

Sparklingbrook · 13/02/2016 10:04

I am watching the omnibus. Yawn. Not one interesting storyline.

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 13/02/2016 10:10

30 somethings just have boring reltionships and affairs. oh and the oh by the way I am your son/daughter/father/mother nonsense that happens very occasionally in rl but all the bloody time on Corrie.

Apart from Kevin really being Jack's father we have had
Carla and dad
Leanne and mum
Whatserhernames son not really being her son and the other one being her son instead.
Did Gail's dad not turn up?
Max's dad.
Whathername turning out to be Irene's sister.
Hayley's son.
Izzy and thingies mum turning up when she was supposed to be dead.

Endless oh surprise we are related stories.

I want Mortis to turn out to be someone's dad.

DeepBlueLake · 13/02/2016 10:17

That Simon story is seriously God awful, the only saving grace is the acting by Leanne. (She seems far too good for Corrie standards)

Don't even get me started on Izzy, absolutely hopeless actress and as if Erica Kim Tate would just start randomly dealing drugs.

Sparklingbrook · 13/02/2016 10:32

Kim Tate is in need of a good storyline and Cannabis isnt it.

darksideofthemooncup · 13/02/2016 10:44

I've been lurking but just popping in to say that Kim Tate dealing cannabis is not such a stretch, Claire King has a quite.

darksideofthemooncup · 13/02/2016 10:46

Posted too soon, stupid phone! She has quite a racy past, she hasa starring role in this video ( she was going out with the guitarist, Cobalt Stargazer at the time) [grin]

darksideofthemooncup · 13/02/2016 10:50

She is the one on the singer's left towards the end of the video

darksideofthemooncup · 13/02/2016 10:50

Gah, our left, singers right. I will shuffle back off the thread now

BoGrainger · 13/02/2016 11:59

Haha. Gail and Mary discussing romantic proposals ie not Michael and Brendan. Gail - wellllll, Michael DID get down on one knee..... Mary - then he got up and staggered over to Eileen's Grin

SerafinaScoresby · 13/02/2016 12:10

Audrey telling David to "control your wife"! Shock I am too feminist for Corrie Grin

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 13/02/2016 13:33

I didn't like that either serafina but things not to do with potential.legal battle on your hands - call the injured party trashand a troll.

Akire · 13/02/2016 13:50

Would not be suprised is Mary decided to run against Sally in elections. She bright clever and manages to survive by working few hours in morning and aft so plenty of time to do other work.

Can't believe she picked Norris he's soooo miserable. Agree need older figure to hold roast. Audrey just isn't the sort. Maybe Roy's mum will come back she was good!

What's happening with Jasmine and hubby did they go away the woodies not seen for months not that I'm complaining

Sparklingbrook · 13/02/2016 13:58

I think I am really in the minority to find Sally and Tim really irritating. Sally especially.

NuggetofPurestGreen · 13/02/2016 14:07

Yeah I hate Sally sparkling.

Also has no one in Corrie ever heard of allergic reactions? Surely that would be your first thought rather than calling environmental health??

NuggetofPurestGreen · 13/02/2016 14:13

Anaphylactic shock due to poor hygiene??? What???!

theliverpoolone · 13/02/2016 15:53

Akire who's 'Jasmine and hubby'?

Akire · 13/02/2016 16:18

Sorry Yasmin and hubby

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 13/02/2016 16:28

I hate Sally too. But she makes me laugh because she is consistently Sally. Much like Norris.

Akire · 13/02/2016 16:38

Have find problem at restaurants Bearly warrants a extra role other wise!

poppiesanddaisies · 13/02/2016 18:10

I'm catching up on Corrie now.

They need to cull half the cast!

AnneEyhtMeyer · 13/02/2016 18:17

The awful thing is, poppies, if they did that they still would have some crap actors in it. They need about an 80% cull.

poppiesanddaisies · 13/02/2016 18:20

That's so true.

I think it's a combination of awful scripting and bad acting but it's dire.

Sparklingbrook · 13/02/2016 18:20

They can leave

Kim Tate
Him off X Factor
Her from Hearsay and get Steve back.
Her from Bread and maybe Roy
Anna and Kev
Ken Barlow and Audrey
Leanne
Eileen and Les Dennis

Everyone else=minibus of doom.
