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.

It annoys me a bit how minor Cathy's injuries were, and how quickly she was out of hospital. It looked like she'd been much more seriously hurt than that.

Also, I don't think Roy would marry again after Hayley. He might have another relationship, but I don't think he would marry again.

cupidsgame · 01/06/2016 21:53

Is it just me that finds Roy boring?

Clawdy · 01/06/2016 22:00

As if Eva would react like that and risk her relationship with Aidan, and hurt Chesney. She might have had a go at Sinead in private, but that scene was very implausible. Like so much of the programme, I know.

Akire · 01/06/2016 22:04

Agree about Cathy even if not seriously injured she did get knocked so got to have lot of bruising swelling to back or side she's supposed to be late 50s??

Where is everyone staying after plates? With Nik??

Rachel0Greep · 01/06/2016 22:42

I agree about Eva. Plus I think she is the sort who would have understood that it was just something silly, due to too much to drink.

cupidsgame · 01/06/2016 23:02

What happened with Sinead and Aiden, must have missed that one?

MadHattersWineParty · 01/06/2016 23:06

She just got pissed (crap-acting pissed) and lunged at him I think Because she was upset that Chesney ignored her a bit and didn't take her to the Bistro when he got back from about three months in Cypress. Or something.

EachandEveryone · 01/06/2016 23:42

Chesney is like a boring old man and he's only about 21. He really annoys me.

cupidsgame · 01/06/2016 23:48

I think I'm glad I didn't see that one then, it would have been annoying to see. I bet it was typical over the top pissed.

cupidsgame · 01/06/2016 23:50

Yes Chesney is like an old man, I hate the way he grimaces, you just couldn't fancy him could you.

MadHattersWineParty · 01/06/2016 23:51

Yeah, classic word-slur, (although she sounds like she does that anyway when she's talking normally!) slight mascara smudge and a little exaggerated stumble on her heels. GCSE drama textbook.

cupidsgame · 02/06/2016 00:14

I was thinking that madhatter...she does slur a bit when she's talking. What a bloody poor quality of actors in Corrie these days. When you think of the likes of Elsie Tanner, Bet Lynch, Hilda Ogden, Vera Duckworth, all such strong women, and interesting. Not one of them in them days annoyed me and I wouldn't miss a single episode. Now I can take it or leave it.

Woodhill · 02/06/2016 08:47

Yes definitely slurry and over the top accent. I remember her being greasy haired Jodie Allen and can't quite shake it. chesney is so boring like an old grandad. similar to Ashley (remember) in some ways.

SymphonyofShadows · 02/06/2016 09:21

Why is Sarah staying in Carla's flat? It's up for sale and Carla has split with Nick so it's a cheek, surely? Next they'll be expecting us to forget the sale so they end up staying indefinitely.

I didn't understand why Aiden told Eva anything. Sinead is part of his staff so whatever they were discussing should have been confidential as far as Eva was concerned.

BoGrainger · 02/06/2016 09:57

Just watching yesterday's and Cathy's reaction to the ring was lovely. She's my favourite character at the moment.

NuggetofPurestGreen · 02/06/2016 11:30

I was confused about that too Symphony. I thought it was Nicks flat at first but definitely Carla's

SymphonyofShadows · 02/06/2016 12:23

I suppose Nick has moved back to his, which is where Sara was living. Very odd

Rachel0Greep · 02/06/2016 12:27

I read somewhere that the Platts moved into Carla's apartment. I think Sarah was living at Nick's for the last while. Can't fathom how / why the Platts would move into Carla's.

SymphonyofShadows · 02/06/2016 13:25

What is she living on in Devon with no flat money? She gambled away most of her stake in the business didn't she?

ONatural · 02/06/2016 17:30

What on earth was Cathy's tattoo all about?!

And where has Nick gone? Quite apart from the fact that he would probably be interviewed and should be supporting his siblings, the last couple of months have been centred on his storyline. So where is he? What's happening in the aftermath?

What was the point of Maria's gay husband? Where's her boyfriend? Where's Steph and her boyfriend? Where's Dev? Wouldn't the Nazirs also be helping police with their enquiries? What's happened to Simon after he started hitting Leanne?

cupidsgame · 02/06/2016 17:35

What's happened to Simon after he started hitting Leanne?
Hopefully gone and never to return Grin

seeyounearertime · 02/06/2016 18:15

Onaturl

I think the best question is:

Why are we still watching this shite?

Grin
ProfYaffle · 02/06/2016 18:21

What happened to all of Tyrone's scrap metal? Did I miss an episode where he sold it? Or has it just mysteriously vanished?

Rachel0Greep · 02/06/2016 18:29

We should all get tshirts with that exact thing printed on them seeyou Grin

It's been said before and I am going to say it again, they should draw a line under most of the current rubbish and start afresh!

cupidsgame · 02/06/2016 19:12

The new boss hasn't made much difference yet if she's started. She needs to read what we all have to say.
