Corrie thread - How many more implausible plots until the new person takes over? NO SPOILERS PLEASE

995 replies

AnneEyhtMeyer · 03/04/2016 20:03

Have started a new thread as the old one was nearly full and people wanted a "No spoilers" message in the title.

Are we placing too much hope in the new producer? How the hell are they going to get out of the plot holes?

I read the other day that the Les Battersby actor was seen at the studios. I am hoping that was a bad-taste April Fool's joke.

Such a cliche .... Two lesbians living in the same street obvs they will fancy each other!!

GetHappy · 05/05/2016 22:57

Sophie is leaving, albeit for 6 weeks, to do a show. Wonder if all this is leading up to this

Akire · 05/05/2016 23:14

Sophie needs some exciting story lines anything! May I suggest...,

1-A bad haircut or colour at the salon the torture the drama the tears! We could have bobble hats while it grows out and everything.

2-Sophie joins gym is involved in some freak gym equipment /locker room disaster we not had ambulance for few months. Death bed scenes will she won't she make it, hands out tissues.

3-Sophie gets a gambling addiction from slot machine in he pub drains the garage dry it gets taken over by ty.

4-Sophie learns to drive can combine with bumping off any number of annoying people.

5-Sophie decides wants to take up bell ringing is involved in freak bell ringing rope strangle incident.

Sophie goes into the Kabin wait for it wait for it... To buy a magazine! High drama will it be woman's weekly, business woman monthly or hello. She could be offered a free boiled sweet and have choking incident

Please anything than her and caz. Local knicker box packer and phone answer of local garage SO exciting match.

Seeyounearertime · 05/05/2016 23:16

I think Sophie should become infatuated with Mary, they'd make a more believable couple than Thingy Kaz and Wotsit Connor.

MadHattersWineParty · 05/05/2016 23:29

I vote no:3, the gambling story. That actually has legs!

And she slowly succumbs to her addiction and it begins to consume her, she starts walking around the garage WITHOUT HER CLIPBOARD. Maybe she could sell Jack to the weird factory cleaner woman that took a shine to him, and spend the money on the slots. It'd be ages before anyone noticed he was gone anyway.

Akire · 05/05/2016 23:31

Perfect! Where's Jack? oh he's on sleepover. Where Jack? He's gone on holiday with the child minder. Where's Jack? Oh he's 16 and joined the army.

NuggetofPurestGreen · 06/05/2016 01:38

Maybe Jenny has kidnapped Jack already and no one's noticed!

MadHattersWineParty · 06/05/2016 08:45

I don't see why The Faceless Childminder couldn't be a proper character. It'd be a bit more believable than these kids disappearing off all the time. Although Ty and Fizz's girls seem to be 'asleep in the car' on a fair few occasions.

Sean had a cheek booking a holiday as a surprise then demanding half the money. If my partner did that I'd go nuts.

Seeyounearertime · 06/05/2016 08:49

Mad

Thats not a bad idea actually, maybe they could introduce a nursery just up the road, round the corner from the Bistro. Introduce a new owner of said Nursery and then there will be more jobs to walk into whenever a character loses one.

GetHappy · 06/05/2016 09:03

They struggling for excuses now Emily's not around to have Fiz and Tyrone's children.

I agree plus no parent ever feels guilty leaving their child every day to go work. (I know we shouldn't but we do in real life)

MadHattersWineParty · 06/05/2016 09:17

Also, I LOVE that at not quite 3 years of age (I think) Lily Platt is able to get ready all by herself in the mornings. It just takes a mere 'come on kiddy winks!' from Kylie to get her down the stairs and out of the door and off to the Faceless Childminder's. It's truly a marvel.

eddiemairswife · 06/05/2016 10:38

That was an interesting comment about Sophie having driving lessons. No one on the street seems to learn, yet many youngsters do when they get to 17. Has Chesney got transport? Who drove his family when they went camping? A driving instructor might be an interesting addition to the street.

NuggetofPurestGreen · 06/05/2016 11:54

Well there was a storyline about Roy learning but that was different.

I also remember Tina learning in Rita's car ages ago. Transport magically appears when they need it!

Rachel0Greep · 06/05/2016 15:05

I think that Sophie has a very dull life for someone her age. Works with her clipboard dad, socialises with him or Sally. Hangs around waiting to pounce on Kate... Hmm

buttercupfarm · 06/05/2016 15:45

There must be loads of good actors and actresses in the country, so why do seem fixated with the ones who can't act and give them all the storylines. Sophie, Fizz, Tyrone, Caz, Sean to name a few.

Seeyounearertime · 06/05/2016 22:27

Just up with tonight's....

For anyone that's seen it, do you know have visions of Eileen sitting in the sofa clutching her pearls listening, Sean going very red in the face, pat saying something blokey, and Billy trying to desperately to ignore everything.

No spoilers... but really? "Come back to mine" lmfao.

southeastdweller · 06/05/2016 22:38

Sean is an annoying, self-obsessed teat who needs a good slap. I'd prefer to see the lovely vicar with Todd instead.

Akire · 06/05/2016 22:40

Agree about Sophie driving it's not like Kevin can't afford a car or do one up. Where do they all park cars? Thers a lot vans cars but hardly ever any on the street?

Is the new nurse also supposed to be health visitor? She be like Sonia in eastenders she have an ology in every medical field going.

Akire · 06/05/2016 22:44

Agee about Sean poor Billy pops in most mornings to say hi or grab breakfast , he's there for cake runs lunches afternoon and afterwork drinks. Meals in bistro drinks at pub he's on sofa for films and staying over. Yet he's complaining he's not there for him. If he was real vicar he have one day off a week on like a boring Monday and be to shattered to go anywhere!

cleanmachine · 06/05/2016 22:48

Sean is also a nasty bitchy person in rl. Saw him at a club once he was very drunk and laughing at some poor woman who was ordering drinks. Vile creature.

Cannot stand the lesbian triangle. Whilst I love a good gay character the last producer just went ott with it all. 3 lesbians and 3 gay guys loving in one street is slightly disproportionate.

I'm also sad that sally and Tim have gone all Silly and Dim. They've become absolute caricatures and completely unfunny.

And please get rid of Michelle fizz ty maria caz Tracey anna yasmeeeen izzy Gary faye sofeeeee ......

Akire · 06/05/2016 22:51

Given there about 20 foot garden at what their names. How are they going to have room for orangery? Sally got about enough room to swing a cat in her garden. Let's see how set budget goes.

cleanmachine · 06/05/2016 22:54

And eileens teeth!

Ffs I've just got over liz coming back freshly botoxed with extra tinsel in her hair and now this!

MarthaCliffYouCunt · 06/05/2016 23:06

Zayeed's grandmother character is awful! They really need to cut her and her husband out. That crap acting in the garden about pissing sally off Hmm

MarthaCliffYouCunt · 06/05/2016 23:07

And yes to rahna(sp?) suddenly being a health visitor! Do health visitors wear nurse's uniform?

HerdOfRhino · 06/05/2016 23:43

I really want Michelle to confess to Steve she kissed Will, only to have him own up that he did too, or that he slept with someone...I think that would be a good twist.
