Corrie Thread - Things starting to improve? Or just wishful thinking? (No spoilers please)

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

Jason leaving has to help, he is more wooden than a clothes peg.

I wish Kym Marsh was properly leaving too - I feel they are taunting us with what could have been with all this cruise ship talk.

Peter?

It had to be Zeedan as she spoke to Nick and Robert the day after and both didn't mention it.
It doesn't fit with Zeedan waiting till he was married though.

Its rubbish and likely to get worse with more episodes. Can hardly bring myself to watch it. I've sky plussed it and haven't even got to carlas wedding episode yet.

Phelan as a character would be far more interesting if he wasn't such an obvious villain, constantly smirking behind people's backs. That ridiculous scene where he walked up the street saying loudly on his phone "Did anyone see you torch the van?"

And Zeedan wouldn't drink wine ?

Think Zeedan is Muslim, so probably not. Wasn't there something a week or two ago, can't remember, where he was offered food or drink and he said it was Ramadam.....?

I think there was some genuine emotion in that last scene yesterday and the acting was decent from everyone.

I like the Leanne actress. I think Corrie's improved lately as a rule.

Phelan as a character would be far more interesting if he wasn't such an obvious villain, constantly smirking behind people's backs. That ridiculous scene where he walked up the street saying loudly on his phone "Did anyone see you torch the van?

Completely agree. But Corrie seems to feel viewers need everything to be done in the most obvious way possible. No way could the viewers figure things out for themselves .
Similarly annoying, when Phelan arranged for stuff to be stolen from the yard. Not a soul on the street saw/ heard anything happen.

I also hate that 'Macca' nonsense, 'all de lads at de Dog and Gun'... For one thing, Gemma looks like she could beat the crap out of any of them single handed, never mind being supposedly fearful of them turning on Jason.

I think Corrie has been more watchable lately because it has been mostly people who can act, who have been centre stage. The likes of Kylie, David, Sarah and Todd. Unfortunately, I think Tracy is about to reappear for more over-acted nonsense, so it will be rubbish again.

Ooh new thread.

I'm finding it all boring still, sorry ...

Just been reading about Jason leaving, I was a bit amused by this line:

The star hasn't yet revealed what direction he plans to take his career in next but has reportedly signed up for acting lessons.

You'd think after 15 years of acting for a decent wage he'd know how to do it by now.

I was expecting a Neighbours style wave-off for Jase - but it was just Phelan and the family mostly.
Others have left with one suitcase in a streetcars taxi to a crowd outside the Rovers
I think there is something going on with Leanne and Steve - as they had a bit of a moment in the street! but perhaps not as Michelle is back.

Flacid

Todd was on key 103 radio and has said he is releasing music so maybe he will be leaving soon.

I'm guessing Leanne will fall pregnant and there will be a Who's The Daddy storyline? I don't think it will be any of the three suspects. My money is on Steve!

I wish Corrie would keep stuff under wraps, so that there could be the occasional good twist. Even if one avoids spoilers, deliberately, the front covers of soap mags give everything away, at a glance.

So, yes, I know without even seeking out spoilers, who was at the door, and what storyline comes next.

The soap mags gave it away didn't they? I'm sure I saw on the cover of one that said 'Leanne's pregnant! *** the dad?'

I won't say the name though.

Izzy's crying. It's brutal.

Even Gary is laughing at her acting whilst she is crying!

I cant cope with izzy anymore. Please tell me she's going to prison for a long time? Theyre as unrealistic with all the other storylines so might aswell send her down for 13 years

2months. It's not nearly enough.

I am totally gutted by that sentencing. She didn't deserve that. She deserved 20 years.

For her crimes against acting alone!
