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.

Why is Jenny in the factory ALL day? Since when does a cleaner hang around for hours and make tea for everyone?

Britnyspears · 12/05/2016 10:13

Eastie77 omg that annoys me too! Surely a cleaner comes in morning or afternoon and does a few hours? But she is full time, just so she can date the boss.

Get rid of: Sophie, Maria, Chesney- none of them can act and are beyond dull!

How was Sophie a self stacker in the local corner shop now doing bookkeeping and VAT?
Ches was great as a child but is now an adult and Zzzz.
As for Fizz and co- they bought a blow up Santa and booked one holiday, yet are on the breadline despite being business owners?

I agree Tony was great, why kill him off?! He could have sorted Philan and his weird top lip.
Gemma is great to watch- an actress with some talent at last.
Rant over!
Smile

I was trying to think of a decent chap who could provide some love interest for Gemma as Jason is leaving. Perhaps Maria could be jettisoned, so that Luke becomes available.

OMG -jack?!!!

Akire · 12/05/2016 22:31

Was also confused over Jack gone from supposly 4 year old who's carried about like a 2 year old to a bright alert 5/6y old.

How many more people are going work in cafe? Anna new woman her nephew and Roy!! The bistro seem to run on 2 people.

Rachel0Greep · 12/05/2016 22:53

I had seen pictures of Jack in some spoilers and he seemed to have grown a new head much taller. Then again, he has had plenty of time to grow Grin

katemiddletonsnudeheels · 13/05/2016 21:38

That childminder must be feeding him up Grin

Rachel0Greep · 13/05/2016 23:12

True Grin

Half watched tonight. It just seemed to be all over the place.

JeanSeberg · 14/05/2016 06:06

The timescale was ridiculous last night - they'd all had time to get drunk, go clubbing, get arrested and deal with all the police station stuff then it was still broad daylight when they got out.

eddiemairswife · 14/05/2016 08:35

They really need to do something about the lighting. It never gets dark.

MadHattersWineParty · 14/05/2016 10:15

Would it kill them to film some seems in the bloody night time? Ridiculous.

Apart from the hen party there were about three people in that 'club' (although that's three more than you'd expect to see at 4pm)

Rachel0Greep · 14/05/2016 10:31

The hen party drunk acting was pathetic. And of course, despite being supposedly drunk, none of them had a rib out of place, or smudged makeup.
Carla, as usual, was completely sober, despite having, presumably, as much to drink as the rest of them.

The Chesney 'storyline', please make it and him, and Sinead, go away.

unimagmative13 · 14/05/2016 10:38

Worse drunk acting EVER

MadHattersWineParty · 14/05/2016 10:43

They'd only had about one glass of wine between them in the club! The 'acting' smashed was hilarious but for the wrong reasons, I was just cringing. Shockingly bad.

ArrestedDevelopment · 14/05/2016 11:05

Isn't Carla supposed to be staying sober ?

Whattheduck · 14/05/2016 13:24

I've always loved corrie it's the only soap i watch but i wish they'd get rid of
Anna
Fizz
Sarah
Bethany
Kate and her girlfriend (don't even remember her name she's that dull)
Where's Faye disappeared to oh and dev's twins ?

Rachel0Greep · 14/05/2016 15:22

There are so many characters that need to be cleared out. Should be lots of space for new ones if that clear out did happen.

southeastdweller · 14/05/2016 15:43

The hen party scenes last night were so awful in every respect. Not for the first time I felt sorry for Helen Worth and Alison King for having to be involved in such crap.

Can't wait to see what the new producer does with stories and characters. She's been in the job for over a month now so we should be hearing about some of her decisions soon I would have thought.

Akire · 14/05/2016 16:14

Just watching yesterday's, why did all men go collect girl friends? Coulnt any of them you know, ring for a taxi!!! Not like any of them were going home alone and going to forget where they left. Besides facts would needed twice the amount taxis to bring them all back!

emmalimesmom · 14/05/2016 16:56

it really irratates me that gail used to be a strong feisty woman and now she acts or child like and thick
how can they just changed a characters personality

SymphonyofShadows · 14/05/2016 18:16

I hadn't watched it for ages until last night. YY to permanent daylight and what they have done to Gail. Caz can do one but I quite like the other girl. The Bridesmaids' scene with the mic was cringing but I did like Sally's line about drinking from the well.

Sarah should be offed and put in the hole next to thingy (if he is still there). Gemma reminds me of a younger Beth when Beth first arrived.

ArrestedDevelopment · 14/05/2016 18:38

Why was Beth even at the hen do ?
Carla fired Beth ( awhile back and then rehired her grudgingly) Beth has always stuck up for Tracey against Carla and Carla doesn't like Beth's attitude.

The same for Maria , Carla had an affair with Liam when Maria was with him. I know they not at each other's throats but it seems people forget what others have done to them far too easily.

They might as well as have Tracey at the hen do.

NuggetofPurestGreen · 15/05/2016 14:32

I think Maria and Carla made up when Carla was raped by Frank Foster and he had tried to rape Maria earlier and Maria was the only one that believed her.

SymphonyofShadows · 15/05/2016 15:28

Wasn't Maria working for Carla when Frank Foster tried to rape her though?

NuggetofPurestGreen · 15/05/2016 15:34

Yep but they weren't really close I don't think. Unless I'm misremembering.
