Corrie Thread - Can we have some quicksand delivered to the Red Rec? And organise a street camping trip?

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

We could get rid of a few that way.

Where do you all keep your passports? It's very convenient for Corrie residents that they all belong in the sideboard!

Ivy Tilsey was a sour-faced witch. Do you remember when the actress got lip fillers and a trout pout?

The Eva proposal with Maria giving her evil daggers tonight was ridiculous. Someone would have seen her and said something.

While maria and Aidan were getting friendly in the gents, I kept imagining Norris or Phelan letting rip in the cubicle next door after a dodgy hotpot.

@Thanku - yes! Hazel, did you see her in cucumber? She appeared on Canal Street talking about the boys in the water.

Haha , yes, I was thinking it might be a bit smelly in there.....romantic, eh?

Yep I remember that Anne, she turned up on some chat show and god love her she could barley string a sentence together, think she was in some sort of downward spiral, she died a couple of years ago I think.

Poor Eva she is way too good for him wish Maria would piss off ! Do we thinknjonny has a brain tumour ?

Do you think that they have forgotten about Fizz and the massage course?

@littlemissM92 I think MS or MND personally

The dr said they were going to test him for MS.

Eddie

I'd totally forgotten Fiz and Tyrone existed. Corrie has too many characters. Need another tram crash or explosion to cull half of them.

I think Rita could be the worst actress I have ever seen.

Oh yes her too.

Rita just sounded like she was reading her lines tonight..maybe she was

There's a lot of competition for World's Worst Actor on the Street.

Has anyone else noticed there are often large bowls of fruit on Corrie dining tables?

Oh dear. No wonder they never help themselves to one of those delicious-looking oranges.

Thought Tracy's lunch looked rather posh yesterday when she and Ken were sitting at the table - quiche, a big bowl of salad, and a basket with bread rolls!

Years ago Corrie never really had over dramatic story lines, the worst you'd get was Stan nicking Hildas housekeeping money or Elsie and Ena rowing in the street , and yet for me, it was unmissable. It was full of humour then, charactters that we cared about and just normal everyday life.....Now they just try too hard, cramming too many plots into one episode, and just stupid storylines that don't ring true.

Corrie has been dumbing down for years now - it is mow the northern eastenders and has lost its usp. I used to live in Manchester back street and there was never fruit bowls, salad bowl, bread baskets. The drama about the making of Corrie showed how passionate Tony Warren was about ensuring the show was authentic. I know these streets have changed somewhat since the 60s but not to the extent the current writers have taken Corrie away from its roots

Pimps, grooming, drug overdoses, the Buzzcocks......it's all going a bit This is England Weatherfield.

Can they please write an amusing Norris storyline. Thanks!

Mary and Tracey's lunch scene contained a few 'Blanche-style' one-liners, such as Mary's comment about loving a 'foreign tongue'.

Can't believe they just showed Daniel snorting coke at 8pm!
