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.

I did like 'halfway through the dream he turned into Michelle McManus'

I am watching ITV2 catch up. Just got to the stupid bit where Tracyluv is in Carla's hotel room. Why did Carla even engage? And why didn't she tell Kym Marsh in front of Tracy? She knows doesn't she?

It's part of soap cliché Number 1.
Don't tell anyone anything as that would solve the issue immediately. Instead, lie, keep quiet, let everything turn to shite.

It happens all the time.

What on earth is Sinead wearing?

That tartan coat is horrible! Grin

Sparklingbrook · 20/02/2016 10:16

I am so annoyed with every single storyline. Angry

Sparklingbrook · 20/02/2016 10:36

Oh blimey Anna with the crowbar. Hmm

poppiesanddaisies · 20/02/2016 10:38

It's terrible isn't it Sparkling?

Sparklingbrook · 20/02/2016 10:39

It really is poppies. And the Sally counselor stuff is sooo tedious.

poppiesanddaisies · 20/02/2016 10:41

I do think that the producers read this thread Grin and have seen Sally and Tim are popular and people like them but it's a one trick pony. I forget the actresses' name but the lady playing Sally is a very skilled actress - not sure about Tim - and I think they could manage a story people would care about.

At least Sarah and Bethany have vanished!

ProfYaffle · 20/02/2016 10:49

Anna and the crowbar - I was watching with the dc who just laughed and laughed at Anna's Hulk impersonation.

Sparklingbrook · 20/02/2016 10:50

Nick is a proper wet lettuce. Carla would not be with him.

finewine · 20/02/2016 13:41

Agree about Anna, awful bit of acting.

eddiemairswife · 20/02/2016 14:22

I was embarrassed watching Anna 'act'. It was awful. I can't understand how the characters can buy businesses on a whim without any discussion. Surely the taxi firm is nothing to do with Liz. Another spur of the moment plot development! Something similar on the cards next week.

Sparklingbrook · 20/02/2016 14:25

I want Anna and Kevin to be together and happy if any scriptwriters are reading.

squoosh · 20/02/2016 15:44

I can't buy Nick and Carla as a couple either. No chemistry whatsoever. He's such a gormless gimp. As if she'd be attracted to him (and his really awful acting).

squoosh · 20/02/2016 15:45

Has Carla forgotten that Tracey set fire to her flat and nearly killed her? Why is she acting so meekly?

Sparklingbrook · 20/02/2016 15:47

Agreed squoosh. They are a rubbish couple.

Most of the people on Corrie seem to have no problem finding a partner. Then if they split up finding another, and another. Chemistry doesn't seem to come into it.

What's going on with Les Dennis? His character although never particularly spritely seems to have aged ten years overnight.

squoosh · 20/02/2016 15:55

I think they might be about to be give Les Dennis the shove. They seem to be setting the stage for a romance between Eileen and the Evil Builder.

Poor Les he does look old all of a sudden. Maybe he should ask his ex wife for the number of her botox-ologist.

Sparklingbrook · 20/02/2016 15:59

The worst bit at the moment is waiting for the yawnsome storylines to start/end.

Waiting for Anna to tell Kev and the fallout from that.
Waiting for the fallout from Carla/Nick/Robert
Waiting for the body in the annexe to be discovered
Is Fiz's daughter ok now or is there more to come there?
Is Simon returning for more of the same?

I just feel GET ON WITH IT!

Grin Squoosh!!

Haven't seen Friday's yet but WTF? Sally buying half of Streetcars? How did that happen then? Who was there to sign the contracts?

How come Nick has totally forgotten / got over his lifelong obsession with Leanne?

lizzydrippingsghost · 20/02/2016 18:09

yeah i think nicks forgotten his brain injury as well

Sparklingbrook · 20/02/2016 18:11

They are all very good at getting over bereavement quickly too.

AnneEyhtMeyer · 20/02/2016 22:22

Maybe his forgetfulness is a side effect lizzy. Grin

Yes they are, Sparkling. A couple of weeks and they are living with their next partner.

Watching Friday's episodes now. Phelan is a pantomime character.

I think Fiz's daughter will vanish now for at least ten years!

Izzy and Gary's son has definitely disappeared.

I know finding children can be tricky but Amy Barlow was always in Tracy's arms as a toddler. Bethany platt was played by twins. Even Chesney and Katy's son appeared. But lately children have vanished to the point of it being downright ridiculous. David and kylies daughter has also vanished.

SmallLegsOrSmallEggs · 21/02/2016 10:47

Jake was in Friday's episode having his hair washed by Faye.
